Starting a business in a new country can feel overwhelming, but the United Kingdom offers one of the most straightforward routes in Europe. This guide walks you through the key steps, from idea to opening day.
First, decide on your structure — sole trader, partnership, or limited company. Each has different tax and liability implications, so it's worth speaking to an accountant who understands the Iranian community's needs.
Next, register your business, set up a business bank account, and make sure you understand VAT thresholds. Keeping clean records from day one will save you countless headaches later.
Finally, get listed where your customers are looking. A presence in a trusted community directory helps new customers find and trust you from the very beginning.
