Hi Bob,

The true cost of hiring in the UK (employer NI, PAYE, pension, holiday) was 
already 20 to 30% above salary. With April's NI changes, it's only gone up.

A Cape Town hire takes on the back-office work: admin, sourcing, compliance, 
bookkeeping, support. All at less than half the fully loaded cost. No UK 
employer NI, no PAYE admin burden, no UK pension contributions. We run 
payroll, compliance, office space and kit.

That lets your UK team focus on the billing and client-facing work you 
charge for.

Respond "No thanks" if this is not a priority right now.
