Facilitrade strives to provide comprehensive business development support both to UK based and overseas organisations seeking UK representation

Your Organisation may not have the luxury of full time Project Director, Financial Director, HR Manager, Marketing Manager etc, due to financial constraints or more so because you simply do not require such on full time basis.

Facilitrade can provide arms length support with general business development via its highly experienced professionals as and when required.

International “Front Office”

Facilitrade is increasingly being asked to act as the “Front Office” for foreign companies that want to incorporate in the UK to facilitate exports to European Union or OECD markets. According to the World Bank the UK is the easiest place to set up and run a business in Europe: It takes 13 days to set up a business here compared to the European average of 32 days. The World Bank ranks the UK first in Europe and sixth best in the world to operate a business. There are more than 2.6 million registered companies in the UK with over 350,000 new registrations each year. No permission is required to establish a business presence in the UK, although there are regulations on the use of business names and certain business sectors which may require licenses or authorization. We can incorporate a UK subsidiary for its clients and carry out all statutory obligations.

The UK is both the leading global financial services centre and the single most internationally focused financial marketplace in the world. However, it is the availability of working capital finance that is a major incentive for international companies to establish a presence here. If an exporter has a strong track record of shipping to mature, financially strong buyers in Europe, and is willing to establish a UK subsidiary, it may be possible for us to negotiate invoice financing against sales invoices.

Whether you are UK based or overseas organisation, facilitrade can assist with your business development through strategic international representation, by bringing your potential buyers/suppliers and financiers to your doorstep.
