UK Subsidiaries Of Foreign Groups

The current government attracts a lot of negative opinion from UK businesspeople, with complaints of excessive regulation being common. However, the UK remains an attractive environment to do business in as far as many other countries are concerned. The French regard us as something of a tax haven! As a result, many foreign companies set up branches or subsidiaries in the UK.

A company from overseas seeking to start trading in the UK can have many of the difficulties of a UK start-up business, but can also have an extra set of difficulties of its own. Although the regulatory environment here might not be complex compared to their own, it is different, and it is rarely going to be worth the directors of an overseas company familiarising themselves with the detail of the UK’s accounting and taxation regime.

We have extensive experience of helping overseas companies set up their base in the UK. As well as providing the audit and corporation tax services that they require in common with UK companies, we can also help to establish management information systems that will enable the company’s head office to monitor the activities of their branch and maintain control over its finances.
