Thinking about the UK market? Our 2026 guide is now available!

The UK remains a major destination for international business, and our member firms often support clients who are assessing entry, setting up a local presence, or scaling operations. To help with those conversations, MGI UK & Ireland has published an updated Doing Business in United Kingdom (2026) guide, prepared by MGI Worldwide’s expert member firms across the region. 

What the guide covers

Whether a client is exploring the UK for the first time or planning their next step, the guide offers a clear starting point for the key considerations, including:

• Choosing the right trading structure

• Establishing a new entity in the UK

• Often overlooked steps that can impact timelines

• The UK tax regime

• Employment matters and personal taxation

• Useful appendices for quick reference

If you’re supporting a client with UK market entry, this guide is a helpful baseline, and our member firms can advise on the specifics based on the client’s structure, sector and timeline.
