Additional safeguards and support for companies reviewing UK expansion opportunities.

Overseas companies wishing to invest in, or expand their trading presence with the UK, can now access a new UK business support service, which focuses on providing operational support, not just strategic advice.

Further concerns over a slump in global markets means that many companies need to review overseas market expansion opportunities. The UK has continued to be the favoured inward investment location for Europe, with one in three companies investing in Europe locating in the UK (Source: InvestUK).

BusinessGrowthUK (http://www.businessgrowthuk.com) provides an outsourced service, covering all areas of business development and infrastructure support, assisting overseas companies with their UK expansion strategies.

David Haikney, Managing Director of BusinessGrowthUK, has stated The UK government agencies set-up to promote investment in the UK provide excellent services for overseas companies through the provision of clear strategic information (See http://www.invest.uk.com). This information includes industry analysis, product areas, employee skills and financial incentives. However, many overseas companies require not just strategic advice, but operational business support, particularly in the early stages of the expansion process. The availability of an outsourced service that can provide full infrastructure support, from logistics and systems through to sales and marketing, benefits overseas companies who require additional safeguards to underpin their expansion objectives."

We are finding that even in the current age of global communications, there is always a perceived added risk to companies investing overseas, primarily due to geographic concerns. We have asked ourselves, how can this risk be minimised, thereby facilitating a smooth transition into the UK marketplace. The answer is through the provision of a flexible, operational outsourcing support service, providing management support across all areas of corporate activities."

The services provided by BusinessGrowthUK, a private organisation, are structured on a network basis. The service has full UK coverage. Client companies receive operational support from individuals who have relevant and proven success at a senior management level across a wide range of industry sectors. Companies of all sizes can benefit from the service.
