Q: What makes your services different from UK-based consultants?

A: A few things set me apart from a UK based consultant and an offshore solution (for example countries like India), I’m a British UK Employment Law expert and also have extensive working knowledge of US and European Employment Laws, I can offer an affordable solution that works out to be at least 50% cheaper than London. IR35 is not a concern as I am classed as an overseas supplier, I can contract for you for as long as you like (this is detailed below).

Additionally, the 1-hour time difference ensures seamless communication and collaboration. I can travel home to the UK on a 2 hour flight and can attend important meetings if you so require.

Q: Where are you based, and how does that benefit UK clients?

A: I am from the UK but now based in Croatia and my location allows me to offer affordable, high-quality HR support with the convenience of a 1-hour time difference from the UK.

Q: Can you coach Senior Exec's outside office hours?

A: Yes, I can provide a bespoke solution for you.

Q: What are your working hours?

Q: What if I need help outside your area of expertise?

A: I have a referral agreement with HR Platform & Admin Hero and an preferred Employment Lawyer Partner. If these services are required I can introduce you to them.

Q: How do I get started with your services?

A: To get started, simply contact me at info@nearshorehr.co.uk to discuss your requirements. I’ll provide a tailored proposal outlining how I can support your business.

Q: How does IR35 affect us if we use your services for a long period of time?

A: IR35 is a UK tax legislation that applies to workers providing services through an intermediary (e.g., a limited company) who would otherwise be considered employees. However, since I am based and taxed in Croatia, IR35 does not apply to our engagement. This means you can engage my services without worrying about IR35 compliance, even for long-term projects.

A: Yes. We are able to build out a bespoke full HR outsourcing solution and base it here in Croatia.  If your company is over 70 employees and you are looking to cut costs please do contact us and we will see how we can help.

Q: Do you provide large-scale nearshore HR solutions for companies with 100 - 1000 employees?
