Locations

Scottish companies benefit from a favorable tax system, high legal certainty and a dense network of double taxation treaties at a reasonably cost. Privacy-conscious shareholders also incorporate offshore shareholders from the British Virgin Islands or other overseas territories into corporate structures. Due to the ease of administration, long-standing reductions in corporation tax and speedy court decisions, British companies enjoy a high degree of trust and popularity as a center for their business activities.

Doing business in Scotland

Although still formally dependent on Great Britain, despite unceasing considerations of secession, currently intensifying thanks to Brexit, it has its own political system and law, which is based on Roman law.

Scottish MPs can participate in the outcome of questions concerning the fate of England, on the other hand, thanks to its own parliament, Scotland has autonomy in decision-making on some issues. The function of the Scottish Parliament was restored in 1999, and national self-confidence was greatly strengthened. The advantage is above all the minimal bureaucratic burden. Basically, the entire territory of Great Britain, not excluding Scotland, has very favorable conditions for doing business.

The employees are flexible enough, and thanks to this, unemployment is generally significantly lower on the Islands. A stable and simple legal system, in which one can easily navigate, definitely means another significant currency. It only takes 24 hours to start a company.

The banking and finance sector is perfectly developed in the country, thus providing a stable background. Education also reaches a quality level, university graduates reach a top level, and every year more and more of them decide to start building their careers in the country. The Scots are also renowned for their loyalty.
