Working with you every step of the way

The historical connections between the UK and Massachusetts are stronger than with any other state in the US. Our environment, our cultural elements and our universities come together to make Massachusetts an attractive place to live, as well as a highly-competitive place to do business.
I invite you to consider investing in Massachusetts. Our location serves as “The Gateway” to the entire US marketplace. With a flying time to the UK nearly as close as a flight from Boston to San Francisco, and only a five hour time difference, we can offer same-day business communication with your UK operations.
Our technology-rich business climate is enhanced by a pro-growth fiscal policy that offers a stable tax environment, an R&D tax credit among the most generous in the country, as well as a single sales factor tax incentive for manufacturers with taxing based only on “in Massachusetts sales”. Additionally, our investment in the skills of our workforce is second to none. Massachusetts ranks number two in the nation in worker productivity.
Everything you need to start, operate and expand your business is here: a high performance workforce; renowned capacity for innovation; easy reach to the world’s leading medical facilities and higher education institutions; a high quality of life; and a commitment to working with your business from the ground up, every step of the way.
Through our Boston and European offices, we offer convenient, one-stop shopping to provide you with information and assistance during the development process, tailored to each foreign investor’s specific needs. The source of our greatness is our people. The following pages describe the various industry clusters and the pool of skilled workers available to you.
In Massachusetts, it’s all here when it comes to helping your business grow and prosper. I invite you to come and join us.
