United Kingdom

Entering the German market – what British companies need to know 

Brexit was, and still is, a stress test for Anglo-German trading relations. Since then, Germany has become even more interesting to investors and company founders. The EU’s largest economy still remains an important partner for businesses.

Industry and finances 

Trading relations between the United Kingdom and Germany have long been characterised by industry, particularly the car industry and the finance sector. Both economies have a focus here, which encourages collaboration. But relations are far from limited to just these areas. A common history has led to more and more areas of cooperation. M&A and starting companies in Germany are the logical consequence of a common past.
