The overhead monster is a hungry animal


 

The UK offers a very attractive market for companies wishing to export their products. Counter party risk is identifiable and can be successfully managed.

However one barrier may be the perception of high operating costs.

international real estate adviser Savills claims the typical combined cost of renting housing accommodation and leasing an office for a team of office executives for 12 months in London has sky-rocketed to almost £74,000 per employee. This figure reportedly sets London apart from other major global cities such as Paris, Tokyo and New York.

There is no doubt that to commission and run a UK operation can prove a costly commitment. The lists of outgoings such as rent, communications, staffing costs are daunting, particularly in a start up situation where income streams are lagging far behind these costs.

This is where we can assist you, as an established independent company, we have experience of representing overseas organisations in marketing product into the UK.

In addition to opening up new markets for your products and services we can also police the all important areas of logistics and payment of your invoices.
