Offshore staffing for UK businesses
Offshore staffing done the dedicated way: not a shared outsourced team, but a full-time professional who works only for your business — in your systems, to your standards, on UK hours — from £950/month all-inclusive.
The better option
Don't just outsource the process — get someone dedicated to it
Traditional outsourcing hands your work to a shared, anonymous team juggling dozens of clients. You get output, not a person. Dedicated offshore staffing gives you a real team member, not a service ticket — someone who learns your business and grows with it. For the same price — often less — you can have a dedicated professional who works only for you, in your systems, to your process, doing more than the narrow task you were going to farm out.
| Traditional outsourcing | Dedicated Aspire hire | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | A shared team, rotating, split across many clients | One named person, working only for you |
| Scope | The specific task you outsourced — nothing more | Whatever you train them on, as your needs grow |
| Your systems | Their platform; you adapt to them | Your software, your process, your standards |
| Knowledge | Resets every time staff rotate | Learns your business once — and keeps it |
| Control | You get deliverables, not a team member | You manage priorities directly, like an employee |
| Price | Per-task or per-hour, scales with volume | One fixed monthly fee — from the same level |

Common questions
Offshore staffing for UK businesses: FAQs
What is offshore staffing?
Offshore staffing means hiring skilled professionals based overseas — in our case India — who work full-time and exclusively for your business. Unlike outsourcing a process to a shared team, a dedicated offshore hire works in your systems, on UK hours, as part of your team.
How much does offshore staffing cost?
From £950 per month all-inclusive for admin and support roles, £1,150 for finance roles — a saving of 50–70% against equivalent UK hires once salary, employer NI and pension are counted. The fee covers salary, workstation, HR and UK account management.
How is this different from outsourcing?
Outsourcing hands a task to a shared, rotating team and you get output back. Dedicated offshore staffing gives you one named person who works only for you, learns your processes, uses your systems, and takes on more over time — typically for the same cost or less.
Where are the staff based and what hours do they work?
Our staff are based in India and work full UK business hours, collaborating with your team in real time through your usual tools — Teams, Slack, email and your own software.

Offshore staffing vs staff augmentation vs outsourcing
These terms get used interchangeably, but they mean different things — and the difference decides how much control you keep.
| Model | What it means | Who controls the work | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional outsourcing | You hand a whole function to a provider who runs it their way, on their systems. | The provider | Hands-off processes you don't want to manage |
| Staff augmentation | You add external people to your existing team to fill a skills or capacity gap, usually short-term and project-based. | You, but often temporary | Filling a temporary gap on a specific project |
| Dedicated offshore staffing | One named person works only for you, full-time, in your systems, on UK hours — a permanent team member based offshore. | You, fully and ongoing | Repeatable, ongoing roles you'd otherwise hire for in the UK |
Aspire is the third model. You get the cost advantage of offshore with the control of a direct hire — not a shared service, and not a temporary contractor.
