Default Setting up a business in the USA - HELP!

I am seeking advise as I own a UK business and I am looking to expand it and move to the USA, Atlanta GA, to be specific.

The product is a good niche on 2 competitors in Europe and only 7 in USA! My present customers have told me that I would get the business from the US facilities, due to my existing busienss relationship!

I realsie I cannot cover the entire USA, so I am looking to have 20 States Covered where my main customers hve manufacturing facilities, I'm looking to have a 51% share in them and sell the other portion to someone who will cover that particular state. Sounds confusing and it is...I'd rather have 51% rather than nothing.

I have done market research and I can price the products aggressively, I can afford to sell the products at 20% less than the current market value while amintaining 50% margin.

I have 2 children 1 aged 7 years and the other 14 years, ideally settling in Atlanta GA, so any advice on schools, costs and what to watch out for greatly appreciated.

Anyone with advice on setting a business up, please do contact me.
