UK & US Business Question

Hi

Apologies if this has been answered before, I have searched this site and googled a lot, and I haven't come up with an answer to my unusual business question.

I have a business partner who is American and lives in the US and I am am British and live in the UK. We're starting a new company together (tech related not sure if that matters). We can work remotely in the first instance but if the business grows, as we of course think it will we both have other successful businesses, there's a possibility that one of us will have to emigrate to be able to work more closely with the other. It will probably be me moving to the US as he has more commitments than me.

So my question is how would this be possible? Could I transfer myself to the US as a Director? Are the requirements that the business needs to meet for me to do this? Would the companies need to be registered in both countries straight away?

Any help that anyone can provide would be great, I realise this is a tricky question. Hopefully I've provided enough information, if not please just ask away.

Thanks in advance.
