UK business environment
The UK’s strong financial system, political stability and business-friendly regulation make it a location of choice for investors from around the world. It’s also a gateway to Europe with the world’s single largest market – the European Union – on its doorstep.
On the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) website, read how the UK business environment remains strong with one of the highest GDP growth rates in Europe – a major attraction for expanding your business here. The UK offers a competitive tax environment with lower corporate tax rates than many key competitors and one of the lowest personal tax rates in the EU. The UK’s labour environment and skills base make it easy for companies in all sectors to source high-quality staff.
