BRITISH Professionals + BUSINESSES in Florida.

2026.   TO BE LISTED on this page:  Email your name + city + business type to  britishbusinessflorida@gmail.com 
On the subject line put  ” British professionals page. ”   

Scroll down to see the list of British professionals, FABB members and British-owned businesses across Florida.  We also have UK-based FABB members, not shown here, who joined to use our useful relocation and immigration services. FABB membership numbers fluctuate, like all associations.  Some are not on this page for requested privacy reasons. This page, by its very nature, is a work forever in progress! FABB has helped British businesses and individuals succeed in Florida since 1997.   We also have an unequalled team of immigration and relocation experts, in place since then, advising UK Brits on their move to Florida.  NOTE:  In our British Bureau database we have thousands of associate British business-owners and professionals across Florida and UK in all industries.  

► FACT:  There are hundreds of small British-owned/run businesses operating in all Florida cities, but only a few major UK companies headquartered here employing local British staff.   There are over 300 UK-affiliated companies in Florida, employing thousands of resident  Floridians.  These figures fluctuate obviously,  so call the British Consulate Trade office in Miami [305] 400-6400 for current information. Choose the Trade option.
► To avoid visa issues, UK companies with a Florida branch usually employ local American staff, with maybe one or two British staffers sent over on HIB contract.   But there are thousands of British professionals, sole proprietorships and entrepreneurs established here, as evidenced by our files maintained exclusively by the British Bureau of Florida since 1991.  Said resident Britons work in all types of businesses in all Florida zip codes.   They have a significant professional presence in Florida.  They are not required to register with the British government and open/close/move so current complete lists are a challenge to maintain.  The British Bureau is the only office in Florida maintaining files on British-run businesses across Florida.  A percentage are shown on this website, some as members of FABB [Florida Association of British Business].  Click around on the various side menus.
► Below are experienced British professionals in Florida. As with anybody you hire, do your due diligence, check out any required licences and talk to them before hiring:  See if they’re a fit for your needs!
