If you have hopes of relocating and wish to move your company from Scotland to England, you’ll be happy to know that you can establish your business and trading operations anywhere you like. Regardless of where your company is registered, there is nothing to prevent you from moving your business to a new location or setting up additional branches in various places throughout the UK or overseas.
However, please be aware that you cannot change your company’s country of incorporation. If it’s registered in Scotland, it will always be a Scottish company. In practice, this simply means that your registered office must always be situated in Scotland and your company will remain under the jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
Depending on the type of business you have and your long-term plans, you may have to consider whether the operational activities of your company will also move to England and whether your suppliers will change as a result. If this is a possibility, you should refer to your existing contracts and agreements to see where you stand in this respect.
On the other hand, you may not need or want to alter your existing trading location and business arrangements – your operations may be able to remain exactly the same, with the only difference being your place of residence.
