Opening You Up for Business
in London
We help overseas enterprises to open stores in London, one of the most attractive markets in the world.
With over 15 years’ experience, we lower the barriers for you to expand into London and bring your vision to reality.
Our services
Opening a store in London typically involves four key steps.
Many buildings in London are over 100 years old and are subject to strict regulations to preserve their historic character and surrounding streetscapes. These factors can often complicate lease negotiations, making the process more time-consuming. Additionally, London’s unique character and diverse, multicultural population present both challenges and opportunities. Our approach ensures that your business navigates these complexities effectively, maximizing its potential at every stage.
We begin with an initial consultation to understand your business needs and outline procedures, timelines, and any necessary precautions. Please reach out to us using the form below.
