Cordium held a webinar on 31st March 2016 Operating in the UK made easy for US Firms
For managers based in the US, the UK’s local regulatory, taxation and reporting regimes, can seem unfamiliar and feel like a serious barrier to entry to building a presence in the UK. Combine that with regulator-imposed capital requirements and labor-friendly employment legislation, the whole exercise can feel daunting and frustrating.
Cordium has a 20 year history of helping firms to find their way through the maze of local and cross-border issues. Over the years we have deployed our specialist compliance, reporting, tax and prudential resources to complement your internal teams, legal counsel and other advisers. Our clients have been able to start operating in London quickly, whilst being secure in the knowledge that they are compliant with all local requirements, and have a structure that ensures satisfaction of all initial and ongoing regulatory obligations. If speed-to-market is important, or FCA substance requirements are a challenge, Mirabella’s hosting solutions can solve the problem, whether as an indefinite solution or just as a stop gap until either FCA authorisation is granted or the business achieves commercial sustainability.
The webinar discussed the challenges of setting up and operating in London and how Cordium can make it easy.
Cordium was delighted to be joined by guest speaker Karthik Iyer who is the Asset Management and Capital Markets Lead at UK Trade & Investment, a UK government body focussed on inward investment into the UK.
The presentation was followed by a live question and answer session.

Burgis & Bullock - Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions in the UKTIAG_Alliance
The UK is a highly attractive place to do business as evidenced by the large levels of inward investment into the country seen over the last few years. For overseas companies wishing to set up operations and trade there are a number of highly useful guides to doing business in the UK produced by the accounting and law firm members of the TAG Alliances (www.tiagnet.com and www.taglaw.com).
However, one of the most common methods for international companies to seek a presence in the UK is through acquisition. Having advised and supported overseas businesses to acquire UK companies we have observed there are many subtle, and not so subtle, variations in how different countries conduct M&A activity. This includes not just the obvious legal differences, but also variances in style, custom, market practice, the role of advisers, and the process undertaken.
This guide does not cover the strategic and commercial aspects of an effective acquisition strategy that would be common across the globe, such as defining your acquisition criteria, target analysis, valuations, negotiations, and post-acquisition integration. The document is designed to provide non-UK acquirers with an overview of the legal and regulatory regime governing M&A activity in the UK together with an understanding of the processes and transaction issues that are most commonly encountered in this country. It is no substitute for good quality professional advice, but should help buyers to plan their M&A strategy for maximum effectiveness.

The Australia Giftware and Homewares industry is diverse and dynamic with Australian consumers showing a strong appetite for international brands and design. Online retailing also provides one of the largest areas of opportunities for British businesses looking to enter the Australian market.
Key topics covered:
• Challenges, Opportunities and Routes to Market
• Tips for selling online to Australia
• Case studies
• Short Q&A session
Australia has an annual healthcare spend of $140 billion. This webinar will explain the processes that companies need to go through to sell their products into the Australian hospital system.
The Australian health system is run through a combination of Commonwealth (or Federal) and State government management. Whilst the Commonwealth government sets the regulatory and policy agenda, each state and territory is responsible for the delivery and management of public health services.
In order to sell products into the Australian public hospital system, companies need to understand the different routes to market and processes involved in each state.
This webinar focused on providing UK healthcare & medical companies with an understanding of the different processes involved to sell into each state within the Australian public hospital system. It touched on regulation, reimbursement, procurement processes and advice on developing the market.
Australia and the UK share policing and security traditions, similar forces structures and parallel security threats and Australia continues to look to the UK as a partner of choice in this area.
The annual combined budget for Australia’s state and federal police agencies now exceeds A$13 bn (approx £7bn) and the Australian police services are actively embracing new technologies to help them cost effectively police Australia's 8.5 million square kilometres.
UKTI in conjunction with professional partner Peter Carter, gave British companies an overview of the sector in Australia, outlining what opportunities exist and giving UK manufacturers some tips on how to access them.
This presentation served as part of a webinar to give British companies hints and tips on how to access the supply chain of major gas projects in Australia.
Australia is one of the world’s largest mining resource producers, a key market for opportunities for UK mining and mining-related businesses. The Australian resources industry is in the midst of great expansion, a large and diversified industry approaching £100bn in size across energy, base metals, precious metals and their ores. A boom decade has brought much competition and winning business is a tough game.
However, in a rapidly capital-intensifying industry, the UK’s strengths in high-technology goods, in professional and other services, its strong cultural, institutional and existing business ties, and the competitive exchange rate for the British pound, bring real opportunities for British businesses.
Linda Miles, UKTI Australia’s mining lead and Ian Hamilton, the British High Commission’s Senior Economist in Australia will look at the broad economic backdrop, the current status of the mining boom and specific areas of UK opportunity.
The much publicised Australian mining boom is winding down, but very strong opportunities for British companies remain across a broad range of industry sectors. The new Australian government has changed some policies but remains focused on business growth. Hear from experts at UK Trade & Investment and ANZ about the latest on the Australian economy.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Setting up business – Practical issues
• Expanding your business to Australia is a big step!
• Planning your expansion is key !
• Speak to others who have made the move, local representatives,
accountants, lawyers, Business Development Networks etc
• Don’t assume the laws and regulations will be the same as the UK
• Implementing a tax efficient structure is key to ensuring the commercial
success of your expansion to Australia
21. In partnership with:

Registering as a foreign Company
•
A foreign company or similar entity is able to carry on a business on its own
account (branch or subsidiary) provided it has registered in Australia.
Appointing and authorising at least one local agent or director to act on its
behalf
Maintaining a registered office in Australia
Lodging specific company documents and financial statements with ASIC
Identifying the business as a foreign company in written contracts and
correspondence
22. In partnership with:
22
Setting up business – Branch vs Subsidiary
• Tax payable by a PE/branch or a subsidiary is the same
• Currently rate of tax is 30% on net profits
• Business assets owned by a non-resident and part of a PE/Branch operations in
Australia remain within scope of Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
• In contrast, the disposal of shares in a subsidiary company by a non-resident will
be outside the scope of CGT, unless that subsidiary’s value is more than 50%
attributable to real property
• Advantages of subsidiary company: limited liability, lower level of disclosure
compared to a branch, generally quicker to set up
23. In partnership with:
Setting up business – Subsidiary
• It can take 1-2 days to register a subsidiary in Australia
• Registering involves lodging an application with ASIC (equivalent of the UK’s
Companies House)
• Once registered the company is provided with an ACN (Australian Company
Number) which must be shown on letterheads and other business documents
• The company is also required to register with the Australian Taxation Office
(ATO) for its ABN (Australian Business Number), GST (similar to VAT), PAYG
(similar to PAYE)
23
24. In partnership with:
24
Setting up business – Branch
• It can take a long time to register a branch in Australia
• Registering involves lodging an application with ASIC (equivalent of the UK’s
Companies House) and original or certified copies of various documents are
required
• The branch is also required to register with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
for its ABN (Australian Business Number), GST (similar to VAT), PAYG (similar
to PAYE)
25. In partnership with:
25
Setting up business – ATO requirements
•
Subsidiaries and branches prepare accounts and file tax returns reporting
income and deductions to 30 June each year
•
With ATO approval a different accounting period ending on another date
may be adopted
•
Deductions are similar to those permitted in the UK and include R&D
incentives
•
Transfer pricing policies may be needed – even for SMEs
26. In partnership with:
26
Setting up business – Employer requirements
•
As an employer you must:
Meet minimum wage regulations, EBAs, Union requirements, visa requirements
Pay superannuation on Ordinary Times Earnings
Pay a State Payroll Tax (the rate differs depending on the State the employees
are based in)
Have adequate workers compensation insurance (compulsory)
Research the working hours, holiday pay, long leave and other employment law
requirements
Comply with Health and Safety Requirements
27. In partnership with:
Setting up business – Tax rates
