Same skills. Same hours. Half the cost.
A full-time UK hire on the minimum wage now costs £2,203 a month before National Insurance and pension. A full-time GO WORK professional costs £999, working your UK hours. Keep the £1,200+ difference and put it into growth.
See what your team would save.
Move the slider to your team size. Compare against wage only, or against the full cost of a UK employee including National Insurance and pension.
UK figures use the National Living Wage of £12.71/hour (April 2026) for a 40-hour week. Estimates only; your actual employer costs may differ.
Your saving becomes your growth budget.
Saving money is the start. The real win is what you do with £1,200 a month that used to go on payroll.

What UK owners ask us first.
Anything else? Ask us on a call and we will give you a straight answer.
Who employs the professional?
GO WORK contracts and pays your professional in Pakistan. You pay one monthly invoice. There is no UK payroll, PAYE, National Insurance or workplace pension for you to run.
Will they really work UK hours?
Yes. Pakistan is 4 hours ahead in UK summer and 5 hours in winter, so your 9-to-5 is their afternoon and evening shift. They are online, live, while you work.
What if the person is not the right fit?
Tell us and we will find a replacement from our shortlist, at no extra cost.
How is my business data kept safe?
Every professional signs a confidentiality agreement. You control their logins, and we recommend giving access only to the tools they need.
Can they answer calls on my UK phone number?
Yes. Calls to your existing UK number can be forwarded to your professional through a cloud phone system such as RingCentral, Aircall or Microsoft Teams. Your customers hear your company name and never know the call left the UK.
Are your accountants qualified for UK work?
Our accounting professionals are trained in UK bookkeeping, VAT and Making Tax Digital, and work in Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. Final sign-off and HMRC filing stay with you or your UK accountant.
What about power cuts and internet?
Every professional must have UPS power backup and a second internet connection before they are placed with you.
Is there a minimum contract?
No long lock-in. Plans run month to month with 30 days' notice.
