Expanding overseas

As UK growth stagnates, many of our clients are looking overseas to realise greater returns or to lower their costs.

Expanding overseas brings a different set of risks and opportunities compared with domestic operations. While different tax regulations and employment laws are critical, they're only the tip of the iceberg. Other considerations include double taxation treaties, exchange control regulations, different legal systems and structures, licences to apply for and import/export regulations.

Trusted, expert international accountants and business advisers on the ground is vital when expanding overseas.

Through Morison International we can effectively extend our international accountancy services to most regions of the world and offer professional accounting, auditing, tax and a variety of consulting services in most countries.

We also have significant corporate finance experience in the Middle East with Partners who have both lived and worked in the region and participated in projects in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
