Looking to set up a business in the UK?

With a thriving financial centre, a market of more than 66 million people and a favourable corporate tax regime, there are endless reasons why you would choose to do business in the UK.

Strong Economy

The UK has a diverse and stable economy, making it an attractive location for businesses. As one of the world’s largest economies, it is known for its expertise in its finance, technology, and creative industries.

Access to the EU market

Despite having left the European Union, the UK still has access to the EU market through several trade agreements. This means that businesses based in the UK can still benefit from trade with a European audience.

Favourable Tax Regime

The UK has a relatively low Corporation Tax rate of 19% for smaller companies with profits under £50,000 per year. Although the Corporation Tax rate for businesses making larger profits has risen to 25% since April 2023, for companies with augmented profits between £50,000 and £250,000, tax is tapered down using a marginal relief calculation.

Research & Development Incentives

For all businesses, regardless of size, there are tax incentives available, such as research and development (R&D) tax credits. These provide UK businesses with a significant advantage compared to other countries.

Skilled Workforce

The UK has a highly skilled and educated workforce. As such, businesses based in the UK can benefit from access to a talented pool of employees.

Supportive Business Environment

The UK Government is supportive of business, with a range of schemes and incentives available to help new and established enterprises. This includes funding for start-ups, grants for innovation, and support for exporting.

Overall, the UK provides a favourable environment for businesses, with a strong economy, advantageous tax regime, skilled workforce, and a supportive business environment.
