	Starting your UK Activity : The BranchOut Programme The good name and professionalism associated with your company have been hard earned over time.

A Ramus team member will take responsibility for being your Country Manager and will have the advantage of being supported by other experienced professionals. This ensures that you have a thoroughly capable and experienced professional representing you, whilst having the comfort of knowing there is support in depth to cover all eventualities. Ramus gives your company strength in depth for a fast start in the UK.

BranchOut is a modular programme which enables you to select the service most applicable to your needs. The step by step approach which BranchOut provides means less risk and less committed cost. Ramus ensures that many non-critical activities usually associated with starting a new operation are avoided; reducing cost or deferring cost to a later stage.
