Our Approach

Establishing a business in a new country involves more than finding an office. Property, professional services, workplace design, technology, people and day-to-day operations all need to come together.

Move2UK acts as your UK project manager and single point of contact, coordinating the specialists and practical requirements needed to establish your UK operation.

One project. One point of contact.

A clear path from the US to the UK

We structure every project around five key stages, giving you a clear route from your initial plans to a fully operational UK presence.

01 — Understand

Start with your business

Every UK expansion is different. We begin by understanding your business, your objectives and what you need from your UK operation.

We establish your:

  • UK business objectives
  • Location requirements
  • Workforce and staffing plans
  • Office requirements
  • Employee and executive relocation needs
  • Timescales
  • Budget and priorities

The result: a clear understanding of what your UK operation needs to achieve.

02 — Plan

Build the roadmap

With your requirements established, we develop a practical plan for your UK expansion.

This can cover:

  • Location and property strategy
  • Workplace requirements
  • Office design and fit-out
  • IT and AV requirements
  • Financial and accounting services
  • Legal requirements
  • Recruitment and staffing
  • Employee relocation
  • Project timescales

We then identify the appropriate specialists to support each part of the project.

The result: a clear roadmap from your initial plans to UK launch.

03 — Coordinate

Bring the right specialists together

Establishing a UK operation can involve numerous specialist providers. Instead of managing each relationship independently, Move2UK coordinates them as one project.

Depending on your requirements, this may include specialists across:

Property
Workplace & Fit-Out
Technology & AV
Finance & Accounting
Legal
Banking
IT & Cybersecurity
Relocation

You have one point of contact through Move2UK while we coordinate the appropriate specialists.

The result: one coordinated project rather than a collection of disconnected suppliers.

04 — Deliver

Turn the plan into reality

Once the project is underway, we manage the practical implementation and coordinate the different workstreams.

This can include:

  • Property acquisition
  • Office design and fit-out
  • Furniture and facilities
  • IT infrastructure
  • AV and meeting rooms
  • Professional services
  • Banking and financial requirements
  • Recruitment
  • Employee relocation
  • Supplier coordination

We keep the different elements moving together while providing you with a clear point of contact throughout the project.

The result: your UK operation takes shape without your US team having to manage every detail from overseas.

05 — Launch

Ready for business

As your UK operation approaches launch, we coordinate the final requirements and ensure the key elements of the project are in place.

This can include:

  • Office readiness
  • Technology and AV commissioning
  • IT systems
  • Facilities and utilities
  • Employee arrival
  • Final supplier coordination
  • Outstanding project requirements

The result: a UK operation ready for your team to move in and get to work.

£30,000 Fixed Project Fee

Move2UK charges a fixed £30,000 project fee for managing the establishment of your UK operation.

The fee covers our project management, coordination and UK-based representation throughout the agreed project scope.

Specialist services and third-party costs are separate and arranged according to your requirements.

Why a fixed fee?

Establishing a UK operation shouldn’t become an open-ended consultancy exercise.

Our fixed project fee gives you clarity over the cost of having Move2UK manage the project, while specialist costs remain transparent and separate.

From the US to the UK, without managing it alone.

Whether you’re establishing your first UK office, creating a European base or expanding an existing UK operation, Move2UK provides the local project management and specialist network to help make it happen.
