The English market is large and there are great opportunities for Swedish companies to start business.

In Newcastle, they have built a European Business Center which offers companies free office space for 6 months. There, you will get help with starting up a limited company which is comparable to Swedish joint-stock companies. It only costs around 1,000 SEK to get a company registered and ready to go.

The requirement is that you must have an English address, which you will get when you establish in the European Business Center.



The region has invested heavily in digital media, and has a very good university education in the area. Now the investments have resulted in that BBC has chosen to establish operations within their digital operations. Besides, in Sunderland they have established Sunderland Software City, which turns to all IT companies.

It is also possible to seek funding for different programs in the establishment of the area. If you are interested in the region and want to know more, Gun-Marie arranges different journeys that are appropriate for your business.

While Gun-Marie is committed to helping Swedish companies to establish in England, ISA (Invest in Sweden) helps English companies to establish in Sweden.

ISA launches Sweden as a hub for the Baltic region. British people view Sweden as a country with honest people, easy to do business with and no corruption. Moreover, Swedes are very good at speaking English.
