2. Understand legal and regulatory policies: The UK has unique laws, regulations and tax requirements covering company registration (Companies House), employment laws and data protection regulations. In addition to compliance with tax obligations, such as VAT and Corporation Tax.
3. Choose a strategic place: The various regions in this area provide a number of advantages. One example is London, which is a global financial centre; while Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh offer vibrant business environments with lower operating costs.
4. Creating and following a clear strategy: This is a tool for evaluating advantages and risks about the investment, as with ROI. Making a plan with projected costs, revenue streams and funding sources will permit more investment coming from the well-established British financial sector. 
5. Hiring experienced local resources: The high concentration of universities brings together the most qualified people. Therefore, their local insight and knowledge will generate valuable information about customer and market needs. On top of that, employees can build relationships with customers and suppliers, becoming brand advocates. It will also avoid future problems with overseas recruitment.

Source a strategic partner with knowledge in the market and networking: Being known between trade associations, chambers of commerce and companies enhance company’s credibility while you establish an important network.
