01/03/2011Editor's Guide: Business in the UK

Editor's Guide: Business in the UK Here's a short introduction to our Business section for the UK.

Starting a business abroad
Starting a business abroad is easy, but you need to understand the local business culture. How do you register a business if you are an expat? What are the rules and regulations for expat entrepreneurs, including freelancers? Expatica’s Finance & Business channel addresses the basics to help expats find their feet and start a business in unfamiliar territory. Lacking confidence? Women expats should read 'Ladies, start your own businesses!'

Company law and work permits
Expatica’s Business and Employment channels give the lowdown on local labour law and offer tips for expat businesses and expat entrepreneurs.

Company expats
If you work as an expat in a big corporation or multinational company, make sure you understand the balance sheet methodology by reading the Expatica article, 'The balance sheet basics'.

Business culture
Launching and running an expatriate-owned business might not be as straightforward as you imagined, especially when it comes to dealing with the locals. Learn about the 'surprising' British work culture and avoid the classic pitfalls of the newcomer. Be a chameleon and join the new breed of international managers who work across countries and cultures with ease.

Business climate
Read about how the government in the UK is managing its finances and how its economy stands in relation to Europe and the rest of the world. Check out our British news, European news, News focus and Community news sections.

Ask the experts
Ask an expert via our Ask the Expert section on business, immigration and labour law, both international and local.

Expatica’s online marketplace
Do business via Expatica’s established classified section, or find the company or organisation you are looking for via our comprehensive A-Z listings.
