Dear Stephen,
Some useful places to start are on Europa:
Your business
http://ec.europa.eu/youreurope/nav/en/business/index.html
Specific info for SMEs (small businesses) is at
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sme/index_en.htm
DG Enterprise and Industry has info on all sectors at
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/index_en.htm
DG Trade is at
http://ec.europa.eu/trade/index_en.htm
and includes details on trade regulation in the Market access database at
http://mkaccdb.eu.int/mkaccdb2/indexPubli.htm
Hope this helps

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> Not being an expert in this field, I am looking for a simple starting
> point for regulatory information that will help companies from outside
> the EU set up enterprises here, and especially in the UK.
>
> Is there an EU-wide set of basic guidance for this? Or a UK-only set,
> if Member States are offering different terms & conditions from each
> other? I imagine that if it exists, it will broadly identify fiscal,
> company/corporate and technical regulations in force.
>
> Its function could just be to flag up major issues for eg. Chinese
> companies looking to invest here. I am sure that individual companies
> with a confirmed interest would then employ legal advisers to guide them
> further.

> Kind regards in anticipation,
