International.
Money and business cross borders constantly; the rules that follow them are unforgiving of improvisation. We handle the UK side of that work — UK companies with overseas owners, overseas subsidiaries and branches of UK groups, non-resident landlords, and individuals arriving in or leaving the UK. The test we apply is simple: every arrangement must make commercial sense and survive an HMRC enquiry with its paperwork in order. We do not advise on offshore structures.
International borders, crossed properly
01 — Where you are
A business that crossed a border
An overseas owner, a UK expansion, property held from abroad — the moment money crosses a border, two sets of rules apply to it.
02 — The map
Every entity and obligation, drawn out
Who owns what, where profit arises, what each jurisdiction expects — the structure on one page before anything is signed.
03 — The substance
Everything disclosed, nothing assumed
Treaty relief claimed properly, substance where it's needed, overseas income and assets reported to HMRC first time. Nothing hidden — because nothing needs to be.
04 — The result
Defensible everywhere
An arrangement that makes commercial sense and survives an enquiry with its paperwork in order. That's what cross-border done properly looks like.

Common questions
Do you advise on offshore structures?
No. We handle the UK side of cross-border business — UK companies owned from abroad, UK subsidiaries and branches, non-resident landlords, and reporting overseas income and assets to HMRC correctly. If you need advice on an offshore structure itself, that is not work we take on, and we will say so rather than refer you to it.
We're an overseas business entering the UK. Where do we start?
Entity choice — subsidiary or branch — then the registrations (Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE), a UK registered office and banking, in the right order. We run the whole sequence as one project, including acting as your registered office.
