Opening a Branch Office

Business Setup Consulting in UK

Opening a branch office

Starting your project with the most suitable structure is crucial to ensuring its success. Every start-up initiative at PAGE begins with a thorough preliminary assessment, during which we carefully analyze the client's current situation, specific needs, project goals, and desired outcomes.

There are various scenarios where opening a branch office is the ideal solution, such as:
• When maintaining operational continuity with the parent company is strategic, ensuring centralized management and coherence in operations.
• When companies have already established relationships with clients in the foreign territory and wish to strengthen these ties by operating as a direct extension of the parent company.
• When it is essential to maintain consistent branding and a strong corporate identity across all locations.
In these and other cases, choosing to open a branch office instead of a legally autonomous company may offer significant advantages, such as:
• Simplified tax procedures.
• Faster operational setup.
• Easier compliance with local licensing or authorization requirements, particularly in regulated sectors.

PAGE possesses the expertise to establish a branch office both from a foreign country to the UK and vice versa, with extensive experience in Italy-UK exchanges.
