In today’s interconnected world, most entrepreneurs aspire to scale their startups globally to tap into new markets, reach a larger customer base, and unlock the potential for rapid growth. However, expanding a startup beyond its initial borders presents numerous challenges that entrepreneurs must navigate. From payment gateways, and business bank accounts to regulatory hurdles and intense competition, scaling globally is a complex endeavor. One entrepreneur is helping international founders ease the hurdle of scaling their startups globally.
Napoleon Okugbe, a leading startup founder, author and leader in the digital technology space created Incorpuk to help startup founders from any country in the world take their business global. Since 2020 Incorpuk has supported thousands of startup founders launching their UK companies, accessing UK banking as well as international payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, Shopify Payments and lots more.
Incorpuk primary customers are founders from the UK, Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and the Caribbean. Incorpuk is mainly geared towards founders who want to start and manage a UK company from anywhere in the world. Incorpuk helps these founders to seamlessly plug into the UK startup ecosystem even if they are not residing in the UK and offer them the support and benefits that come with having a UK company. These benefits include having access to UK business banking solutions, payment gateways as well as over $300,000 in perks and rewards from software platforms such as Amazon, Hubspot, Zendesk and lots more.
The rise of the global focus entrepreneurs
“Startup founders from outside the UK, US, Canada and European Union are most times limited by the resources they have at their disposal to scale their business outside the shores of their countries. Accessing business growth tools, international banking and payment gateway solutions is always a big struggle and most times impossible. I built Incorpuk to tackle these issues for globally minded founders”
I believe that with the help of the internet, it does not make sense anymore for startup founders to be limited by their countries of residence or citizenship. The world has since moved past that phase. Anyone from any country in the world should have the same resources and tools to be able to build a global startup and sell to customers in any country, says Napoleon.

These include SaaS, digital marketing, software development, web design, financial services, IT consulting, educational apps, graphic design agencies, to AI and e-commerce brands. Incorpuk also has a large number of startups in the local business niches and gig economy who are digitizing their services.
“Incorpuk supports a variety of businesses across several industries except for those restricted industries such as pyramid schemes, adult entertainment, ammunition, cannabis, gambling, etc.
We are seeing a significant increase in startups in the SaaS, digital marketing, Artificial Intelligence, IT consulting and web development space,” says Napoleon
