​Virtual UK Business - a total solution to winning UK market sales

 You may have thought about entering the UK market, maybe via an agent, a distributor or direct sales from your home market. All have merits and drawbacks. None of them have the advantages of you having your own brand pro-actively promoting your business to 5 million businesses and over 63 million consumers.
Just as you buy in temporary staff until such time as you have enough work to create a full time roll. Copernicus offers you a local sales presence without the fixed cost of an overseas office, employee, infra-structure or long term commitment.
