How UK Trade & Investment can help you
UK Trade & Investment is the Government
organisation that supports both companies in the UK trading internationally and
overseas businesses seeking to set up or expand in the UK. Known previously as
Trade Partners UK and Invest·UK, the new name reflects our commitment to provide
a fully integrated service, delivering business opportunities through a global
network.
Trade services help companies to use their UK base as a launch pad into other
markets. For investors, our mission is to provide dedicated professional
assistance covering all aspects of locating a business in the UK or expanding
existing facilities.
UK Trade & Investment will help you make sound
business decisions, based on our commercial expertise and unrivalled local
access and knowledge. We work in close partnership with the English regional
development agencies and the national development agencies in Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland.
We support hundreds of businesses every year with the following services:
- thorough regional analysis and informed advice to help you choose the right location;
- bespoke information on key commercial considerations such as company registration, immigration, financial incentives, labour, real estate, transport, utilities and regulatory issues;
- introductions to industry leaders, chambers of commerce, universities and other centres of excellence and R&D;
- a pipeline into central government to help safeguard your business interests;
- Global Partnerships helping build collaborative partnerships between businesses championing cutting-edge technology;
- assisting overseas entrepreneurs and management talent to develop
innovative UK business opportunities.
The UK Government is particularly interested in securing those projects which bring long-term jobs, or introduce new technologies or management techniques, and which improve the competitive position of UK business. UK Trade & Investment offers a one-stop advisory service, drawing together information from government and public agencies.
The service can put together a complete package of locations, financial incentives, employment and product sector advice tailored to a company’s specific needs. The service is both free and confidential.
