Focus: UK market entry

Specialist products, the right UK partners.

Selling a specialist product in the UK takes more than a translated brochure. Every sector has its own rules, distributors and buying habits, and since Brexit the paperwork has changed too. From London, we help Italian companies in specialist and regulated sectors find the right partners.

How UK market entry works
  1. 01

    Market and regulatory analysis

    Size of the opportunity, competitors, prices and the rules that apply to your product in the UK, including licences or registrations where needed.

  2. 02

    Positioning and offer

    A UK-ready proposal: pricing along the supply chain, sales materials in English and a clear pitch for British buyers in your sector.

  3. 03

    Finding the right partners

    We identify and qualify specialist distributors, wholesalers and buyers, make the introductions and manage the follow-up: meetings, samples, negotiations.

  4. 04

    Compliance and logistics

    Labelling, customs, importer of record and sector-specific requirements, coordinated with trusted regulatory and logistics specialists.

  5. 05

    First orders and growth

    We support the first orders and the ongoing relationship with partners. When volumes justify it, we help set up a UK company with banking and accounting.
