Azets’ Global Expansion Service gives you access to the resources and expertise you need to help your expansion plans run smoothly. Our experienced team will give you expert advice in all aspects of expanding your business overseas – including strategy, business model and structure, accounting, taxation, and group issues such as transfer pricing.

Before the move, we’ll help you assess your business’s structure, staff, finances, IT, and operations to identify any potential challenges or opportunities to reorganise. We’ll then help you formulate a plan that will outline realistic targets and timeframes for achieving a move into a new foreign market.

We’re here to save you time and make expanding your business overseas easy

Our service is to assist UK businesses which are expanding their presence and activity outside of the UK market, perhaps for the first time. We’ll hold your hand through the process of moving into a new market, both in terms of the UK complexities, and putting you in touch and co-ordinating with local advisers if required. Delivering trusted advice at all stages, we can support you in a full range of commercial and operational matters including compliance, tax, VAT and due diligence.

We’ve helped many businesses expand overseas

We’re here to help you expand your business overseas, whether your plans include:

• taking the fundamental step of establishing a physical presence in another market or jurisdiction
• hiring staff locally, sending UK staff overseas, and/or taking physical office or warehouse space
• shipping products overseas to sell through local sales or distribution agents.

Occupying a widely acknowledged bridgehead between Europe and North America, and with well-established links to numerous fast-developing Commonwealth countries, the United Kingdom is in prime position to attract ambitious overseas companies. Add to that the relatively low tax rates and flexible employment laws it offers, and you can understand why it’s one of the most attractive places to do business.

If your business is looking to establish a presence in the UK, Azets’ skilled international team has the experience and expertise to help you get it right. We work alongside companies looking to set up operations in the UK and Northern Europe, providing a fully managed, outsourced accounting, finance, tax and administration service.

Our financial specialists will be with you every step of the way to ensure your operation is correctly registered to comply with accounting and auditing laws. We’ll also be able to advise your company executives on tax compliance both for corporate and personal purposes.

We’ll partner with you to understand how you like to work, providing trusted advice through regular meetings, phone calls, or whichever method suits you.

Hands-on experience and local contacts that you can rely on

We provide a safe pair of hands to guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up a business in the UK, identifying what requirements may be triggered, and acting as a one-stop-shop for all your compliance needs.

Avoid missing key deadlines or obligations

A move to the UK, whilst potentially beneficial, can lead to a number of challenges that need expert guidance to overcome. We’ll ensure you don’t miss any key deadlines, potentially leading to penalties and regulatory or reputational risk, bearing in mind that financial statements filings are on public record in the UK.
