Business in England
In England, you can start quickly making good money. Until the 1970s, small business in England was very poorly developed, since it was not considered prestigious. But then the state decided to introduce various programs to support small businesses and start-up businessmen. Naturally, after this, those wishing to open their small firm in this country have increased significantly. Small business began to grow rapidly, and now it brings the country 50% of GDP.
Our company in England guarantees you a reliable and stable business. Another significant plus to the opening of a company in this country is that England has quite a serious weight in the European Union and is not on any black list in terms of economy or finance.
What business to open in England
For Russian people, England provides many options for opening their own company. Our compatriots are successfully engaged in the tourism business in England, they open a translation bureau, pastry shops, small cafes, and beauty salons. If you open a travel company, then focus, of course, on customers from CIS countries. Success can also bring a consulting company that consults for residents of post-Soviet countries about opening their business in the UK.
If you are attracted to the restaurant business, we do not recommend opening sushi bars or Japanese restaurants in England. There are very, very many such institutions in London and other English cities. To break through such competition will be difficult, and a foreign entrepreneur is doubly. But the restaurant of Russian cuisine may come in handy. You can open a full-fledged restaurant with Russian national dishes, and fast food. For example, pancake. A variety of pancakes with fillings and other flour products can come to the taste of the British and tourists. The most important thing is to add some “zest” to your establishment so that visitors can select it from the general mass.
Hotel business is another promising area in England. However, it is worthwhile to open not a large hotel, but a bed and breakfast hotel. These are small hotels, the concept of which is to provide the client with bed and breakfast. Such hotels are very popular with traveling people. You can consider the option of a family hotel. Such facilities are usually also small and cozy, and the cost of services in them is much lower than in large hotels. Therefore, the demand for them is quite high. Organized groups of people often come to England for educational purposes – to learn a language or learn British culture. Such groups need affordable housing for a fairly long period. Small and cheap hotels and hostels – just what they need.
