Understanding your needs

The UK has a proud history of supporting businesses when expanding internationally, often driven by it’s diverse talent pool, culture, and relative ease of doing business, and the UK Government has a strong desire to uphold this rich history. Despite recent unprecedented events, the UK continues to break records for attracting foreign direct investment.

International Expansion Journey

How we can help

International expansion is an exciting time for any entrepreneurial business. Some of the common questions businesses often ask when trying to understand the best way to structure their expansion include:

  • Why don’t we send one of our own people/an assignee?
  • Should we set up an entity, in either the short or long-term?
  • What registrations need to be applied for?
  • What benefits will HR need to put in place?
  • How will our employees get paid and see their pay cheques?
  • How quickly can I get all this set-up?

We integrate expertise in international tax, audit, accounting, payroll and expatriate taxes to support you through this increasingly complex global environment. We provide support on issues including UK employer compliance, the posting of staff to the UK, help with more technical issues such as VAT related to the sale of goods or services, and managing all the compliance tasks when establishing a local presence in the UK.

Our advice spans the following areas:

This is a new and uncertain time, and you want to get it right. Decisions need to be made quickly with the right resources, processes, and provisions in place to deal with the most critical needs immediately. You must consider all available employment and compliance considerations, as well as options which involve key stakeholders across finance, legal and tax in determining the correct steps and best approach.

Our secure cloud portal provides access to your accounting records, allowing you to access financial information securely 24/7. Our systems and processes are also SOC 1 accredited, and we continue to review these processes, so they remain strong while allowing us to work efficiently.
