Small Startups To
Global Brands
Take a look at the experiences of some of the many companies we have helped set up and develop businesses in the UK.
Goodwille has helped hundreds of businesses enter the UK from overseas. They come from many industries and areas of business, but all chose our professional business services.
Opportunity In The UK:
Competitive, But A Lot To Offer
More companies locate their businesses in the UK than anywhere else in Europe. Having a UK entity you can reach more than 500 million consumers across Europe, and its workforce of over 30 million people is the 2nd largest in the EU. The UK has a workforce with strong skills and flexible labour laws, meaning companies can employ staff in a way that suits the needs of their businesses, with labour costs being the most competitive in Western Europe.
However, whatever type of business you are looking to set up in the UK , it is worth talking to an expert in the field who can tell you things, that as a foreign business entering the UK market, you may not necessarily think to consider. It is important to get the right advice about how to establish a business in the UK.

To put it very plainly, a distraction from what we needed to actually do for the success of the business. Goodwille were just incredible at helping us get through that.”

The health services sector provides considerable scope for smaller suppliers seeking to supply a variety of goods and services to a range of healthcare providers, in both the public and private sectors.

UK businesses will spend over 90 billion GBP on products to support the advanced manufacturing industry in 2017, making the UK an attractive proposition to overseas companies. Research and development is high, at 13.5 billion GBP every year, accounting for almost 70% of the total spend across all industries.
As the UK increases its development and use of automated systems in manufacturing, there will be opportunities in the servicing, manufacture and installation of these technologies. The UK’s automotive industry has been the fastest growing overall in western Europe since 2009 . With over 15 billion GBP invested in the UK automotive industry between 2012 and 2015, the UK is one of the world’s most attractive destinations for foreign investment.
