The nature of a business, the financial and human capital it utilises, the sector in which it operates and the assets it owns and uses all contribute to the tax costs it faces. We help clients develop practical, tax-efficient business structures to keep these tax costs under control whilst maintaining maximum flexibility for business growth or exit for the business owners.
Inbound
Business investment in the UK is growing and there are a number of business vehicles and structures available to investors. After fully analysing the circumstances and understanding your long term objectives we can set out the tax-efficient options and help you decide how to structure your investment. For example, key issues on which we routinely advise clients include:
- the use of offshore entities to own the UK business or assets
- maximising the tax advantages of non-domiciled owners
- whether it is more efficient for overseas parent companies to operate a UK business as a branch or as an independent subsidiary company
- managing the ownership and exploitation of intellectual property
- strategies for the sale of businesses and investments and tax-efficient repatriation of funds.
For initial information on investing in the UK see Doing business in the UK.
Outbound
Whether you are investing overseas for the first time or extending your international operations, we can map out all the tax issues and opportunities so that decisions can be made with full knowledge of the tax costs.

- the most tax-efficient business vehicle for your venture in each country
