Where UK companies most often go wrong in the US
A private briefing for companies planning US expansion and for the organisations that help them succeed, including trade bodies, chambers, accelerators, investors, and advisers. Built from twenty-one structured US readiness assessments across fourteen sectors.
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 companies and the organisations supporting them the data, patterns, and practical framework to spot those issues earlier.
Useful for companies and for the organisations supporting them.
Understand the recurring commercial and structural issues appearing across twenty-one structured US readiness assessments, and where they tend to surface first.
Leave with a clearer sense of which risks are manageable, which can wait, and which become more disruptive and expensive if left too late.
Gain a practical framework for identifying where action, support, or escalation may be needed before US momentum is lost.
A focused mid-morning session combining research findings, specialist input, and practical discussion.
We begin with the purpose of the briefing, the cohort behind the research, and why these patterns matter for organisations supporting companies with US exposure.
We present the structural findings from the assessments, with Mathys & Squire leading on the IP and trademark issues that companies most often overlook.
We then cover the commercial findings, followed by a panel discussion with specialists in US channel development, sales, and market validation.
We close with key takeaways, links to download the report, and time to continue the conversation over lunch.
