Providers that legally employ staff for you in countries where you have no entity.
HR consultants and outsourcing firms improve how you hire, pay, develop and keep people. They're especially valuable for growing companies without a full HR team.
In the United Kingdom, Employer of Record (EOR) Providers are concentrated around London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Bristol. Local rates sit at the upper end of the global ranges, so many buyers in the United Kingdom pair a local lead with nearshore or offshore delivery to manage cost. For regulated services, always confirm the provider is licensed to operate in the United Kingdom.

How this list is compiled
Worldwide view: Clutch-verified specialists (registered businesses independently verified on Clutch with a working website, ordered by their number of verified client reviews) followed by established industry leaders. Country view: the main list is strictly local. It shows only Clutch-verified firms with an office in the selected country and established firms based in that country that the iCreativez research team selected for their scale and track record. Large international firms and remote teams that serve the country appear in a separate, labelled section and are never counted as local. Where we have not yet verified enough local firms, the page says so instead of padding the list. Minimum project size, hourly rates and team size are as published by each company in November 2026. Inclusion is free and not paid for. Providers can request a review via our contact page.
