Insurance, Pension and Private Health
It is common in the UK for employers to offer private health insurance and it is compulsory for them to contribute to the pension fund of their employees.
​
Since this area is quite complex, we introduce our clients to pension specialists able to advise on the best solutions. We also introduce you to our insurance partners to put in place all the insurance covers required for your new subsidiary (life insurance, civil responsibility, key people, professional indemnity, content insurance, travel insurance, etc.).
