Built for UK rules
No IR35 headache
Your team are our employees working wholly overseas, so the UK off-payroll rules generally do not apply.
No employer NICs or auto-enrolment
UK PAYE, employer National Insurance and workplace pension duties generally do not arise for staff employed and working abroad.
UK GDPR handled
Data processing agreement, IDTA or UK Addendum and transfer risk assessment included.
Secure by default
Managed devices, MFA, least-privilege access and confidentiality and IP clauses in every contract.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Why this matters: is offshoring legal in the UK?

Frequently asked questions
What is a dedicated offshore team?
A group of full-time professionals in another country who work only for your business and report to you, while a provider handles their employment, payroll, equipment and local support.
How much does a dedicated offshore team cost?
With TalentDock, from £1,195 per person per month all-in, rising to £1,695 or £2,295 for skilled and specialist roles. No recruitment fee.
How quickly can I hire an offshore team?
After a short scoping call we send an all-in quote; shortlists typically follow in under 10 working days, then start dates depend on candidates’ notice periods.
Can I start with one person?
Yes. Most clients start with one or two seats and add more as the work grows.
Who manages the team day to day?
You direct the work and priorities. We handle employment, HR, attendance, equipment, security and replacement.
Is a dedicated offshore team the same as outsourcing?
No. Outsourcing buys an outcome from a supplier’s pooled team. A dedicated offshore team is your own full-time people, directed by you.
Where are the teams based?
Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
Can my offshore team work UK hours?
Yes. We set shifts to overlap or match your UK working day.
Is it legal and GDPR compliant?
Yes. Staff are employed by us under local law, and we put a UK GDPR data processing agreement and international transfer safeguard in place.
What if a team member is not the right fit?
Replacement cover is included: we recruit a replacement for you.
