Consultation before setting up a business

Are you planning on, or are you already established in the UK? We can help with all aspects from planning an inward investment into the UK, to running your business and scaling up in the UK. Our typical services include;

  • Initial planning meeting where we run through the basic structures and options which we summarise in a note for you.
  • An establishment consultation and report in which we prepare a tailored report followed by a conclusion meeting with you. This service is often used to present to a parent company management in advance of making a decision to set up in the UK.
