Yesterday’s Morning Startup session with Simon Walsh was full of valuable insights for anyone considering a UK expansion. We are so grateful for all the amazing knowledge shared! While we speak the same language, the way we do business across the pond is different. Here’s what we learned: Business Nuances: Just because we share a language doesn't mean our business practices do. Embrace the cultural and operational differences! Lightning-Fast Company Formation: Set up a company in the UK in as little as 24 hours. No need for a resident director—but you do need a UK address. Easy Hiring: The recruitment process is straightforward. Plus, don't limit your search to London; regional hubs offer plenty of opportunities and talent. Evolving Superannuation: The UK’s approach to pensions (superannuation) is still evolving—plan ahead for your team's benefits. Entrepreneur-Friendly Visas: The UK offers a range of straightforward visas for entrepreneurs, making it easier to get started. Funding Opportunities: Looking to raise money? The UK is a great place for capital, with an active VC community. Networking Events: Don’t miss out on FinTech Week and Tech Week in London—perfect for meeting VCs and fellow innovators. No-Nonsense Insights: For more straight-to-the-point advice, check out the “Without Bullshit” podcast. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who joined at 7:30am!
