Menzies is a leading advisory firm specialising in assisting businesses seeking to expand into and out of the UK.
Whether you’re a UK-based company aiming to expand into Australia or an Australian business looking to enter the UK market, Menzies is here to support you in achieving your international growth objectives.
Our unique value proposition lies in our ability to offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs when expanding into the UK. We provide essential services, including compliance support such as accounting, auditing, corporate tax returns, as well as addressing more complex matters such as VAT, HR (including employment contracts), and pension setup and implementation. For areas beyond our direct expertise, we leverage our extensive network of trusted partners, connecting you with key service providers such as banks, immigration solicitors, FX providers, insurance brokers, and relocation specialists.
If you’re considering expansion into Australia, we have established partnerships with trusted advisors across all major Australian states, via our HLB International network. We work closely with these partners to ensure your expansion is fully compliant with tax regulations in both the UK and Australia; while also helping you assess the strategic viability of your international move.
At Menzies, we pride ourselves on delivering a seamless, end-to-end solution for your global business expansion needs.
UK-Australia Trade relations
The trade relationship between the UK and Australia is based on shared economic interests, historical ties, and a commitment to modernising trade relations through the UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement. The future of this trade relationship looks promising as both countries continue to explore new areas for collaboration in goods, services, investment, and innovation.
Entering the Market
Similar to Australia, the United Kingdom boasts a business-friendly economy, with a high concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), many of which are family-owned. While there are commonalities between the two markets, there are also key differences that businesses must consider when expanding into the UK.
Recognising that entering a new market can be a daunting process, we have developed a suite of services designed to streamline the transition and simplify your entry into the UK. The following guides provide valuable insights and practical information to support your move to the UK:
