Setting up a foreign company in the UK
Establishing a foreign company in the UK can provide businesses with huge opportunities. With a stable economic system and diverse consumer market, it has one of the highest wealth per capita in the World. However, it also comes with often complex tax and business regulations, so the right preparation is essential.
We can assist with every aspect of setting up a UK company. We work with you to decide which trading entity and structure is best suited to your needs. Then our team can advise you through all the relevant taxation and legal implications of doing business in the UK.
International business strategy
Are you exploring a new market for the first time, or taking the plunge to start trading internationally? We can help you get the initial planning right to minimise the pitfalls and maximise opportunities.
We’ll help you define the purpose behind your international business strategy, and ensure it aligns with your goals. We’ll guide you through researching local regulations, competition, and market dynamics, and assist in shaping your operating model. Whether you choose to sell directly from the UK or partner with local agents and distributors, we’ll provide the insight you need to succeed.
With our expertise, we can help you find the solutions that best suit your business. And as part of GGI, we also provide practical advice on matters such as international group and financing structures, cross-border transactions, and individuals who spend significant time abroad.
