United Kingdom - Limitations on Selling U.S. Products and ServicesUnited Kingdom - Limitations
With a few exceptions, the UK does not discriminate between nationals and foreign individuals in the formation and operation of private companies. Foreign companies establishing British subsidiaries generally encounter no special nationality requirements on directors or shareholders, although at least one director of any company registered in the UK must be ordinarily resident in the UK. Once established, the UK subsidiaries of foreign firms are treated the same in law as British-owned companies.
