Establishing a healthcare business in the UK

If you are an overseas business looking to set up in the UK, we can advise you on the appropriate structure your venture should take and the key sector regulations and considerations you should be having when first setting up a healthcare business.

Please see our corporate guide to setting up a business for more information on the types of corporate structures available.

In addition to the corporate aspects of a business, the following questions should also be considered:

• Do you require a registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in order to provide services? If so, what services are you registering to provide and how will you meet the relevant regulations?
• What specific legal, regulatory and licensing requirements relate to the provision of your proposed services in the UK and/or any technology or products you intend on utilising?
• If you are intending to share clinical or personal data with entities outside of the UK, what arrangements will be required to facilitate this?
• If you are looking to acquire or work with an NHS provider, how can this be achieved?
• What tax efficient structures can be sued to maximise returns and tax benefits?
