Expand Your Brand to the UK

Do you know what impact Brexit has on your expansion plans? There has never been a better time for U.S. tech and media businesses to invest in the UK as a springboard for commerce in Europe.

Not only is the UK one of the best places in the world to do business, it also boasts a growing economy with stable employment and interest rates. Additionally, London (the command center for the European economy) is home to more tech talent than New York, San Francisco, or any other major city—a number that is set to grow 22 percent by 2025.
