Acting as a representative for overseas business
Permalink   
 


Hello there


I have been approached by an overseas business to act as their representative in the UK. They don’t have a physical presence here nor do they intend to have other than for the sake of verifying an address for google ads. This business is in the category of web Design/development/ SEO etc, all online deliverable stuff.


Since I have never done this kind of work, I am hoping to get some advice with regards to the legal and technical side of things. Should I be hired as an employee for liaising with their prospective customers and sending them money when a payment has been made? As of now I’m being offered commissions for each client/project.


Is it mandatory that they register their business here in the UK?


Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I've had some experience as a representative for overseas businesses. Usually, it involves working as a freelance contractor and not as an employee. Commissions for client referrals are pretty standard. As for registering the company, it depends on the local regulations. It's a good idea to consult with a legal expert or accountant to ensure you're on the right track and use the special bank account for business. Good luck!
