Commercial translation
Translation for UK Businesses and Organisations
Business translation can cover anything from a short corporate certificate to a multi-document commercial pack. The right workflow depends on how the translated material will be used. A document being filed with an authority may need certification, while internal policies, tenders, contracts or customer-facing content may need a different review and formatting process.

Match the service to the purpose
Certified Business Documents or Standard Business Translation?
Not every business document needs certification. If a bank, authority, solicitor, regulator or overseas institution has given you specific submission wording, send it with the file. The requirement can then be checked before the translation starts.
Examples where the required format may differ
Company or financial evidence submitted to a UK organisation
Documents used in overseas legal or administrative processes
Internal HR, policy or operational material
Tender, investor or procurement documentation

FAQs
Business Translation FAQs
The exact workflow depends on the document, languages, intended use and recipient requirements.
What types of business documents can be translated?
Common requests include contracts, company records, financial documents, HR material, policies, tenders, reports, presentations and commercial correspondence. Send the files for a scope check if your document type is not listed.
Do business documents need certified translation?
Sometimes. Certification depends on how and where the document will be used. If a bank, authority, solicitor or other recipient has provided instructions, send them with the file so the required format can be confirmed.
Can formatting be retained?
Formatting requirements should be confirmed during quoting. Documents with tables, forms, charts or complex layouts may need additional formatting work depending on the required output.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the complete files, source and target languages, intended use, deadline and any recipient or formatting instructions. This makes it easier to confirm scope before work begins.
Can you handle ongoing business translation work?
For recurring or multi-document requirements, include the expected document types, languages, volumes and workflow needs in your enquiry so a suitable process can be discussed.
