Pathfinder: Facilitating global growth

Pathfinder is PwC's flagship investment platform.

The UK is the number one destination for financial and tech inward investment in Europe managing a huge number of FDI annually, reflecting sustained investor confidence in UK assets and corporate platforms. This consistent demand is largely due to:

• Strong demographic and economic growth
• A broad and diverse range of markets, infrastructure and capital projects
• Access to capital, talent and skilled labour
• Levels of innovation and technological advances

Regardless of size or experience, entering the market for the first time presents an array of challenges. We recognise the time and distraction that international expansion can introduce, it is also essential to ensure connectivity between tax, legal and accounting. Our specialist Pathfinder advisers understand the processes involved, helping business leaders and investors to navigate the journey by providing practical advice, drawing upon their knowledge, experience and the strength of the PwC's network.
