FABB has helped British businesses and individuals succeed in Florida since 1997. \u00a0 We also have an unequalled team of immigration and relocation experts, in place since then, advising UK Brits on their move to Florida. \u00a0NOTE:\u00a0 In our British Bureau database we have thousands of associate British business-owners and professionals across Florida and UK in all industries.\u00a0 TO BE LISTED on this page : Email your name + city + business name to britishbusinessflorida@gmail.com\u00a0<\/a> \u00a0On the subject line put\u00a0 ” British professional in Florida.”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u25ba<\/span> There are hundreds of small British-owned\/run businesses operating in all Florida cities, but few major UK companies actually headquartered here employing local British staff.\u00a0 \u00a0Also, there are over 300 UK-affiliated companies in Florida, employing thousands of resident\u00a0 Floridians.\u00a0 Meanwhile, US firms employ about a million people in the UK, including Florida companies like World Fuel Services and Office Depot.\u00a0 These figures fluctuate obviously,\u00a0 so call the British Consulate Trade office in Miami [305] 400-6400 for current information.
\n\u25ba<\/span> To avoid visa issues, UK companies with a Florida branch usually employ local American or Hispanic staff, with maybe one or two British staffers sent over on HIB contract. \u00a0 But there are thousands of British professionals, sole proprietorships and entrepreneurs established here, as evidenced by files maintained exclusively by the British Bureau of Florida since 1991. \u00a0Said resident Britons work in all types of businesses in all Florida zip codes. \u00a0 They have a colossal professional presence in Florida. \u00a0\u00a0Most British-run businesses in Florida are 10 employees or less. \u00a0They are not required to register with the British government and open\/close\/move so current complete lists are a challenge to maintain.\u00a0 The British Bureau is the only office in Florida maintaining files on British-run businesses across Florida.\u00a0 A percentage are shown on this website, some as members of FABB [Florida Association of British Business].\u00a0 Click around on the various side menus.
