THE POSSIBILITIES – WHAT TO CONSIDER

To give you the best advice on the most appropriate approach for your entry into the UK, we’ll discuss your short-term and long-term aims, your financial commitment and your current involvement in your sector of choice. Perhaps you’re seeking a joint venture or acquisition, you wish to add a UK division to your multinational group, or you have spotted an opportunity and want to set up a company to exploit it.

With our cross-sector knowledge and experience of working with international investors and businesses, we can answer your questions, allay your concerns and explain the incentives available to you. These might include tax reliefs via the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts, or Research and Development and Patents.

OUR SERVICES – SEAMLESS SUPPORT

Our support for you begins with our first conversation and continues throughout your UK project to its conclusion, and potentially onto further UK projects. We will bring in experts from all our relevant service areas, such as corporate finance, tax, employment and audit, and coordinate our responses into one seamless, practical and proactive source of advice.

Typically, this might be:

• Recommending and setting-up your business structure
• UK bank account set-up and company registration
• M&A advisory
• Joint Venture
• Transaction support
• HR strategy and operations
• Employment and payroll including employee relocation and expatriate taxes
• Accounting and audit
• VAT and Duty
• Tax and regulatory compliance
• Virtual Finance and other ongoing support services

All of this will, of course, be in line with your schedule, with reporting in the format you feel most comfortable with.

OUR NETWORK – YOUR ACCESS TO EXPERTS

You’ll likely have many detailed questions as your investment in the UK progresses. Our highly knowledgeable people are much more than experts at accounting matters; they are also experienced business advisors who have encountered many different situations during their careers and are consequently well placed to provide you with  informed and practical advice.

We can also connect you with other widely experienced experts in other areas, whose advice you’ll almost certainly need, such as lawyers, property agents, banks and financiers and insurance companies. We will only recommend people we have worked with and trust for their good judgement and helpful support. We’ll integrate our services with theirs, to ensure communication is clear and straightforward at every stage.

OUR GLOBAL REACH

Communication is a vital element in any project, and effective international communication relies on understanding countries’ differing business cultures and practices. AAB provides this understanding, both through our own experience and via our global network.

We are members of Accelerate, a Business Associate of Crowe Global, and are also the Scottish member firm of The International Accounting Group (TIAG). As part of these powerful networks, we have strong and proven contacts with trusted partners and can offer you access to further global specialists who have international expertise in hundreds of countries.

This collaborative approach allows us to provide you with a unified advisory and compliance solution, project managed and delivered by us. This ensures you benefit from consistency and will always know who to talk to, whatever specialist advice you need.
