Offshore IT Consultancies
Is your Company based outside the European Economic Area (EEA)? Do you want to deliver Consultancy Services to a UK Client? Are you looking for a delivery partner?
At Commonwealth Contractors we understand the challenges that offshore Consultancies face when trying to deliver project services in the UK! If you assign Consultants to a project they will probably need a UK Work Visa. If you help them secure:
- A Tier 1 Visa (formerly HSMP): They could always leave your employment for that of a UK employer once the visa is secured. It also takes up to 1 – 6 months to gain an approval!
- A Tier 2 Visa (formerly UK Work Permit): You will need an expensive UK operation, a Tier 2 License etc. This will make any prospective project a lot less lucrative!
How can Commonwealth Contractors help?
At Commonwealth Contractors we have the answer! We partner with established UK Consultancies who act as delivery partners for Companies based outside the EEA!By becoming an ‘Alliance Partner’ the offshore company can quickly agree a service project with a UK Client & utilise its consultants for the duration of the assignment. The UK Partner takes care of Contract Administration, Tier 2 Visa Sponsorship (formerly UK Work Permit), Project Coordination, Professional Billing allocation, Consultant Remuneration etc.

- Improved Margins: By reducing your overheads & day to day operating costs you will be able to improve project margins! Good exchange rates also make the UK an attractive place to do business.
