If I went to live in the USA as a foreigner could I start my own business?

I have been told that I NEVER would be able to get a work permit, even if my husband gets transferred to the USA...

Answer:
...are you a "legal" person in the USA...? do you have an INS "green-card"...? ...if your husband is a citizen and you are legally married... you're in... Call the INS (Immg and Naturialazation service)
yes u can
You might be able to start your business...But it will not be to long before MR. Bush outsources it...

Sounds as if you are a military or political wife. Every one on U.S. soil has the right to work. Certain professions require licensing such as electricians, plumbers, and a few thousand others. If you have the qualifications, you can work in your field.

If you are going to start your own business, you are required to have a license to do business in the city you are going to do business in. You go to the city hall and obtain the necessary papers, fill them out, return them with the necessary cash to get the license and get to work. If you are doing business in more than one city, you must have a license in that city also. Same trip to that city hall. If you are doing business in 25 cities, it will be 25 trips to 25 different city halls.

If you wish to work for a company, I believe you should speak to your husband and ask him which office you should speak to with his organization. They will properly advice you. You should do the same regardless of working for a company or creating your own.

As you know, your husband and you, are representing your country while on our soil, please out of respect to both countries, find out what the rules are and follow them before you act.
You wouldn't have a problem getting a work permit and starting your own business here. There is a bit of red tape involved.. but it isn't hard or impossible.
'Never'? That is weird. If it is a background thing, having your own business won't help you. However, there is a special 'investor' visa that requires you to have a certain amount invested in a business. Try USCIS.gov.
