overseas companies. If you run a business that is looking to make a
home in the UK, make your first move to contact London Landing,
a service of Harwood Hutton.

to set up in London and the Thames Valley. We will give you the
best options on structuring your UK business and practical,
cost-effective assistance all the way.

trusted professionals throughout Europe. Such advice might cover legal,
banking, property, asset finance, venture capital and private equity.
3. London Landing will always look to maximise the tax advantages
for you, your team and your business. The UK will soon have the
lowest rate of corporation tax in the G20, and there are generous
tax incentives such as Research & Development and Patent Box for
intellectual property.
Our services cater predominantly for business but we are able to
deal with individuals coming to the UK as well.
Maximising your
investment
London Landing has
considerable expertise in
being able to support and
advise any business along
its journey from inception
through to ultimate sale. We
can anticipate what support
will be needed
and when.
4. Our team of international accountants will work closely with you
to decide which trading entity and structure is best suited to your
strategy. We explain in detail the taxation and legal issues that
affect you when you are establishing a business in the UK. We will
guide you through the big issues such as transfer pricing and the
impact of double tax agreements.
We will also deal with international taxation and VAT and guide
you through your obligations on money laundering and setting up
bank accounts.
Solid foundations
London Landing is big on communication. A number of our senior team are fluent in a range
of languages that include Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Polish.

assets such as technological innovations, inventions and literary

Protecting the value
in your business

ensuring you are protected in law. We can also advise on visa and immigration matters, and
once the workforce is established, we can set up and run your payroll.

London, close to Regents Park; and in the historic market town of
Beaconsfield, serving the Thames Valley region.
