Host UK site on US server

I live in the UK and my site is aimed at local customers. Are there any major reasons not to use HostGator web hosting please?

I'm looking for shared hosting and considering Hostgator Business plan for a new site.

I want fast hosting for a small local site with a small amount of traffic.

My concerns are...

Speed, will the distance impact the speed of page loading?
SEO, will a site hosted so far from home affect SEO?

Thanks in advance
Philip.
