I’m Drew Cooper, founder of Lantara. We handle the UK compliance side of ecommerce expansion, so brands can sell here without it stalling them.

Ten years in ecommerce, six of them putting brands into the UK market. In that time I saw the same failure repeatedly: a brand solves the hard commercial problem, the product, the channel, the demand, and then loses its listings or gets a backdated tax bill over obligations nobody inside the business owned. Compliance falls between the accountant, the agency and the freight forwarder, and the founder finds out about it from a suppression notice.

Lantara takes ownership of it, product compliance, UK Responsible Person, VAT and packaging EPR. Four regulators, four separate specialist firms, four invoices. Or one partner.

If you’re working with a brand heading into the UK, or one that’s just been asked for a VAT number or a UK Responsible Person address and doesn’t know what that means, im always happy to have a chat.
