London is the international finance capital of the world with the highest levels of foreign direct investment per capital, and the highest number of unicorn start-ups in Europe.

  • Tax Benefits for Non-Domiciled Residents – should you come to the UK as an Indian national, there are special tax benefits for individuals with income outside the UK. 
  • Internationally Trusted Banking – almost all the world’s financial institutions trust UK banking regulations and anti-money laundering rules, making it easier to transact globally via a UK company with a UK regulated bank. 
  • Employee Shareholder Plans – for founders as well as key staff there a well-established employee shareholder tax incentives that benefit individuals both pre as well as post IPO. 
  • Established Financing & Credit Markets – from some of the world’s largest banks to well-established venture capital and private equity market. London already acts as the destination of choice for European start-ups looking to scale their business, given its larger volumes of capital to funding, and professional services available to you.
