What it is

Invaluable Intelligence.

We research your business using publicly available information. Your website, your online presence, your sector, your model, your stage. We apply that research against a proprietary framework built across twelve years and more than 3,500 UK and European expansion programmes. And we surface the challenges, risks, and structural gaps that most commonly affect businesses like yours when they go to America.

The Benchmark Report does not pretend to be a precise diagnostic of your specific circumstances. It works from the outside in, with informed assumptions and pattern recognition rather than full knowledge of your internal situation. What it tells you is what companies like yours typically face, and which of those challenges are most likely to apply given what is visible about your business.

That is genuinely valuable intelligence. Most founders have never had anyone apply that lens to their business at all.

The framework

Eight domains. Two halves of the same picture.

Front-office and back-office. The areas where the gap between UK assumptions and US reality consistently produces the most expensive surprises. The Report evaluates your business across all eight.

Front office Commercial & market-facing
Strategic planning and market entry
Sequencing, geography, sector readiness
Commercial and customer operations
Buyer behaviour, GTM translation, channel realities

Entity structure, contracting, sector exposure
Financial and tax strategy
Permanent establishment, transfer pricing, state-level tax
