Expanding into the UK market presents vast opportunities for international businesses—but establishing a legal entity and managing local employment can be complex and time-consuming. An Employer of Record (EOR) service offers a fast, compliant solution that enables global companies to hire UK-based staff without setting up a local subsidiary.
By acting as the legal employer on your behalf, an EOR takes on all employment-related responsibilities, from payroll and benefits to tax compliance and employment contracts. For businesses looking to test the UK market, onboard talent quickly, or reduce administrative overhead, EORs offer an efficient entry point.
At Fraser Bond, we help international companies leverage reputable UK EOR partners to scale operations with ease and legal assurance.
An Employer of Record is a third-party service provider that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. While the client company manages the employee’s day-to-day activities, the EOR is responsible for all formal employment functions under UK law.
This includes:
Hiring and onboarding in accordance with UK employment law
Drafting compliant employment contracts
Managing payroll, tax, and National Insurance contributions
Administering benefits and pensions
Ensuring adherence to statutory leave, working hours, and termination protocols
Providing ongoing HR support and legal risk management
An EOR enables international businesses to access top UK talent and operate compliantly—without the need for a registered UK entity.
EORs enable rapid hiring in the UK, helping foreign businesses enter the market within days instead of months. This is ideal for time-sensitive projects, remote teams, or interim operations.
The UK has complex labour, tax, and pension laws. An experienced EOR ensures full compliance with HMRC and employment regulations, reducing legal risks and penalties.
Setting up a UK company involves significant financial and administrative investment. With an EOR, you bypass incorporation costs, accounting infrastructure, and legal overheads.
An EOR handles all back-office tasks, including payroll processing, employee record management, and statutory filings—allowing you to focus on core business operations.
From wrongful termination claims to contract disputes, EORs absorb many of the legal risks associated with employment, shielding your business from costly litigation.
