Doing business in the United Kingdom

Although the British are very proud of home-grown products, they are also very interested in high-quality and innovative Dutch products. The opportunities for Dutch companies in the UK lie mainly in renewable energy, high-tech systems and materials, sustainable mobility, life sciences & health and agri-food.

Consequences of the Brexit

After the Brexit, the UK has become a third country for EU entrepreneurs and it is good to know what has changed.

Stricter customs regulations have applied in the UK since 1 January 2022. From now on, import declarations must be made immediately for imports into the UK, whereas previously you could postpone your import declaration for six months. Also, exporters of agricultural and food products are required to pre-notify their shipments.

When transporting goods to the UK, you can expect thorough border checks, which can lead to considerable delays. When transporting goods using ports in the UK, they must register with the online platform Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS). This registration is necessary in order to board a ferry and the driver must have the correct documents.

International Entrepreneurship

International business is extremely attractive - it expands the market and offers almost limitless opportunities. But working with a party in another country also brings unknown legal risks that can significantly affect your profits if you do not make proper preparations in advance.

Commercial And Contract Law

Companies that buy, sell, transport or produce something nationally or internationally have to deal with commercial law - among other things, with the rules on entering into or terminating contracts, but also with the rules on non-performance, liability and compensation.

Tenancy Law And Real Estate

Tenancy law has never been as high on many entrepreneurs' agendas as during the Covid pandemic and the government-mandated closures of the hospitality, retail and cultural sectors. The rents stipulated in the leases proved unattainable and the lucky few tenants were offered temporary rent reductions by their landlords.

International Private Law

International Private Law (IPL) is an area of law that plays an important role in cross-border (international) matters. This area of law determines, among other things, which international court is competent, which law is applicable, but also whether a foreign judgment is eligible for recognition and enforcement in the Netherlands and, of course, vice versa.

Corporate Law

Business law regulates the delicate balance between the entrepreneur's freedom to conduct his business as he sees fit and the legal regulation of his activities - their rights and obligations.
