UK-US / UK-EU cross-border corporate structuring

Current trends and key findings of the cross-border corporate structuring market analysis

The market for UK-US / UK-EU cross-border corporate structuring services is growing rapidly as more and more companies are expanding beyond a single jurisdiction. An analysis of the three leading competitors showed that most players focus either on classic corporate support or tax optimisation, offering standard structuring models. At the same time, business demand is shifting towards comprehensive strategic solutions that combine legal, tax, banking and operational aspects.

Clients need a service that not only provides the creation of a cross border company, but also practical support for international operations, including issues such as cross-border company money transfers, compliance, corporate compliance and risk management. It is these niche needs that often remain outside the focus of competitors, creating significant space for services based on an individual approach and in-depth expertise.

The importance of proper structuring of UK–US / UK–EU companies for stable international business

Setting up and managing a cross-border company is not just about registering a business in several countries. It is a strategic decision that affects the tax burden, access to markets, the ability to open bank accounts, and the prompt execution of cross border company money transfers.

Companies operating between the UK and the US or between the UK and EU countries face the following challenges:

• different corporate law systems;
• different reporting and KYC requirements;
• the complexity of opening multi-currency accounts;
• different tax regimes for transactions;
• rules on controlled foreign companies;
• regulations related to GDPR, sanctions law and international payments.

Proper structuring of a corporate group allows you to avoid double taxation, optimise asset management, protect investments and create a working operating model between countries. This is critical for companies operating in the fields of technology, e-commerce, financial services, logistics, manufacturing and consulting.

What solutions do modern international companies need?

Market analysis has shown that most businesses need an adaptive approach that takes into account the realities of several jurisdictions, rather than a template approach. When structuring cross-border operations, it is important to obtain not only a legal description, but also a realistic operational plan for the international structure.

Modern companies need:

1. an individually designed corporate structure model;
2. protection from tax risks in two or more countries;
3. recommendations on the optimal jurisdictions for the holding company;
4. support in opening accounts and currency control;
5. setting up legally compliant processes for cross border company money transfers;
6. coordination of contracts between group companies;
7. compliance with UK, US and EU legislation on company management, personal data and transactions;
8. creation of simple but reliable models of interaction between jurisdictions.

This is what competitors who work on a ‘one size fits all’ principle often lack.
