Hiring in the UK from abroad? We set up and run your UK payroll end-to-end, PAYE, HMRC, pensions and compliance, so you stay focused on your team, not the paperwork.
Most payroll firms treat overseas employers as an awkward edge case. For us, it's the whole point.
You're based abroad and hiring in the UK, with or without a UK entity. We handle PAYE registration, RTI, employer NI and pensions, and we speak HMRC so you don't have to.
From your first employee to fifty, we run accurate, on-time monthly or weekly payroll with auto-enrolment handled and a real person on the end of the email.
Need a reliable UK payroll desk under your own brand? We provide white-label payroll so you can offer it without building a team.
One UK specialist who owns the whole thing, quick, transparent, and built around your situation.
Full UK payroll for foreign-owned companies, including PAYE scheme setup and HMRC liaison.
Specialist setup and running of direct-payment schemes where your business has no UK tax presence.
DPNI setup service →Weekly or monthly runs, payslips, RTI submissions, starters & leavers, year-end and P60s.
Worker assessment, enrolment, statutory letters and pension provider liaison, handled every pay period.
Keep the tools you already use
Send us your pay data however it lives today. We take it from there, and run your payroll on HMRC-recognised software.
Answer three quick questions and we'll point you to the right setup. No email required to see your result.
A short call and a secure form. We work out the right scheme and give you a fixed, transparent quote.
We register or authorise the PAYE scheme, get authorised with HMRC, and configure pensions and payslips.
Each period we prepare. Check and submit your payroll, and send you a clear summary of exactly what changed.
Switching payroll feels riskier than it is. There's no need to close your PAYE scheme or re-register anything, we simply take over the scheme you already have, at a point that suits you (a new tax month is cleanest, but mid-year is fine too).
The things a finance director abroad actually needs to know before signing off, payment, data, contract and checks, set out plainly, before you get to price.
We invoice in GBP and you settle by ordinary international bank transfer, no UK bank account needed on your side. Fees are fixed and published, so there are no currency surprises at renewal.
Employee and payroll data moves through secure, access-controlled channels only, never insecure email, and is handled under UK GDPR. We act as your data processor under a written agreement, and share data only with HMRC and your pension provider, as running the payroll requires.
A plain-English engagement letter, under English law, sets out scope, fees and who does what before any work begins. No auto-renewing lock-in, leave with notice and we hand everything over cleanly.
Before onboarding, we carry out standard client due diligence, verifying the business and the people behind it, in line with UK anti-money-laundering practice. It's done remotely, with certified copies or a secure upload, and we guide you through exactly what's needed. Usually a day or two, not a hurdle.
Indicative starting prices. Most competitors make you ask; we'd rather you knew.
Your workplace pension is in the price. Auto-enrolment is a legal requirement of employing people in the UK, not an optional extra, so every plan includes the full statutory duties and we never invoice them separately. Managed and our overseas plans also cover the discretionary side: choosing or switching scheme, salary sacrifice, and your employees’ own pension questions.
All prices are indicative. Early tax-year rates end 31 August; join on them and your monthly rate stays fixed for as long as you remain on the plan. No VAT is added to any fee, the price you see is the total. One-off setup fees: UK employers from £100 · overseas-client PAYE £250 on the offer (standard £350) · DPNI £400 on the offer (standard £750), and we don't invoice the setup fee until your scheme is live.
Everything to get employee #1 paid, compliantly, as one package.
Saves £70–£170 vs booking the parts separately (standard pricing: from £949 / £1,299). Then from £157/mo per scheme. Setup invoiced only when your scheme is live.
Start my first hireYour company payroll and your personal tax return, one provider, nothing falls between them.
Early tax-year rate (standard from £85/mo). Covers your salary, dividends from your own company, bank interest and the usual reliefs. Property income, foreign income, capital gains or self-employment are quoted separately and fixed before any work starts.
Get my bundle quoteNot always. If you have a UK entity we run a standard PAYE scheme. If you don't, you may need a DPNI or NI-only scheme, we set up and operate the right one for your situation.
If you already have a PAYE scheme, we can typically run your first payroll within one pay cycle, often within a week of receiving complete information. For a new scheme, we submit your HMRC registration within one business day; HMRC then posts your references (usually 5–15 working days, longer at peak times like April). The wait doesn't block your payroll, HMRC's own rules let us run payroll and file once the references arrive. Specialist DPNI schemes take longer (typically 4–8 weeks at HMRC). see the DPNI timeline.
We calculate employer NI on every run, and your auto-enrolment pension duties are included on every plan: assessing staff each pay period, enrolling them, the statutory letters, contribution uploads, your declaration of compliance, and re-enrolment every three years. Auto-enrolment is a legal requirement of employing people in the UK, not an optional extra, so we don't charge separately for it. Managed and our overseas plans go further and cover the discretionary side too: choosing or switching scheme, salary sacrifice, and answering your employees' pension questions directly.
Through a secure portal or encrypted channel, never insecure email. Protecting your employees' data is built into how we work.
For companies that simply need UK payroll run correctly, yes, usually significantly. EOR makes sense when you need a third party to legally employ your staff; for everything else, we're the leaner, more personal option.
No. Your PAYE scheme stays exactly as it is, we take it over rather than starting again. You introduce us to your current provider, we collect the year-to-date figures and pension records, and we check our first run against the old numbers before anything goes out. There's no charge for the handover.
Send us data or questions any time, you don't have to be online when we are, and we reply within one UK business day, usually much faster. Calls can be booked in early-morning or early-evening UK slots so the US, Asia and Australia can reach a real person live.
