Why this matters

Many UK companies are more exposed in the US than they realise.

Many UK companies are already selling in the US, hiring there, fundraising with America in view, or responding to US demand before the commercial, legal, tax, and IP foundations are properly in place. Across twenty-one structured US readiness assessments in fourteen sectors, the same issues appeared repeatedly. This briefing gives ecosystem organisations the data, patterns, and practical framework to spot those issues earlier.

21
companies reviewed across 14 sectors
79%
had no functioning US legal entity
85%
had triggered US sales tax nexus and had not addressed it
78%
of companies already trading in the US had no USPTO trademark registration
Why attend

Useful for the organisations expected to spot risk before it becomes expensive.

01
See where companies are most often exposed

Understand the recurring commercial, legal, tax, structural, and IP issues appearing across twenty-one structured US readiness assessments, and where those issues tend to surface first.

02
Gain a practical framework for earlier intervention

Leave with a clearer way to identify which companies in your network may need attention now, which risks can wait, and which become more disruptive if left too late.

03
Including specialist input from Mathys & Squire
Hear the founder perspective directly

Hear directly from one of the companies from the cohort in a live Q&A, alongside specialist response on the IP and trademark issues UK companies most often overlook when moving into the US.

The two-stage programme

July ecosystem briefings. September founder briefings.

July 2026
Ecosystem owner briefings

You attend the July briefing, hear the data, and understand which companies in your network are most likely to be exposed. You leave with a framework and a route to invite relevant founders and senior leaders into the next stage.

September 2026
Founder briefings

Allentra and Mathys & Squire will run a second set of briefings for founders, chief executives, and senior leaders directly. These sessions will use the same research, but with the emphasis shifted from ecosystem awareness to company action. Your role is important: the July briefing gives you the context to help the right companies attend the September events.
