Doing Business in the UK for Overseas Entrepreneurs

In this 45-minute webinar Mehdi Shahbazi, Business Manager at B&F Services will give an insightful introduction into available channels to start or expand business in the UK for overseas entrepreneurs and investors.

The UK is one of the world’s leading business locations, based on the World Bank ‘Doing Business’ survey: ranked top in Europe in terms of ease of doing business and fourth in the world. It is a proven gateway to the USD $19.9tn EU market (2017), with an unrivalled business environment and internationally competitive tax rate awaiting developing firms.

Corporation tax is the joint-lowest in the G20 at 20%, which is further reduced by up to 100% for work related to R&D, and tax on patents is just 10%.Despite the obvious appeal, companies can find complicated and disparate laws, tax brackets, and other bits of UK red tape rather challenging, particularly with the additional requirement of navigating the potential implications of Brexit.

In this webinar Mehdi will explore and discuss key ways of starting, expanding or moving your business to the UK.
