Racerbear02 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I am considering buying a UK business and then re setting it up over here.It is a sales business turning over around £100,000 pa. and therefore it is not a profession that needs 'qualifications'Can anyone tell me how difficult this will be to achieve please.I would like to know all the paperwork I would be likely to need.What would be the costs incurred to1. Set it up2. Pay taxes, coitisations etc, particularly in the first yearsThe business does not generate a large profit but would be sufficient to cover living costs IF charges are not too high.Any advice would be most welcome, I know this is a big ask !

Albert the InfoGipsy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'd suggest you start by looking at the various videos available here:http://thenakedaccountant.wordpress.com/entreprise-individuelle-or-ltd-co/Lisa's pretty good on this sort of thing. Before she started giving stuff away I paid her for some personalised projections for various turnovers and business types. The figures helped me to make similar decisions to yours.One thing that puzzles me is why you would want to buy a UK sales operation and move it to France.If it's mail order to mostly UK customers I'd have thought that French postage costs might be a significant issue, depending on average order value.

Dog Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My memory is a little hazy but there is an Englishman that moved his I think - AJS/Matchless parts business to France. Might be worth searching him out. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
