The European Community negotiated agreements with several countries which give their nationals some advantages in migration and other matters related to business and work. The group of countries known as the "Central and Eastern European Countries" (CEEC) have a set of association agreements which have become known collectively as the "European Agreements". The UK immigration rules now cover the "European Agreements" with Bulgaria, The Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungry, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. These agreements provide for nationals of these countries to establish themselves in the United Kingdom (and other members states) as business persons without having to have the £200,000.00 capital demanded of others in order to establish themselves in business.

T&C has a specialist team who can assist nationals of the above countries in setting up businesses in the United Kingdom and assist with the incorporation of companies or development of partnership agreements and ensure that the business requirements under the "Europe Agreements" are satisfied. Where an applicant is taking over an existing or joining an existing business, T&C specialists will provide professional advice as to the requirements that are to be satisfied under the rules.
