India Out-bound

Several Indian groups are contemplating acquisitions of foreign companies, setting up offices in the UK or Europe or even expanding their existing presence abroad. We can assist such companies and groups by identifying suitable targets for acquisition, performing financial due diligence on their behalf and, post-acquisition, helping to integrate the acquired companies into the group. Where the a new office is required we can set up a UK subsidiary or branch office, handle the accounting and tax compliance and even obtain the required visas if personnel need to be brought to the UK for work purposes. We have over 20 years experience in this area and have assisted many of the largest Indian listed companies in this regard.
