Our Process
How Do We Hire and Set Up Your Offshore Business Administrator?
We find the right person for your role, vet them properly, and have them working in your business in about four weeks.
- 1. Briefing
A short call to understand the role, the tasks, the tools you use and the kind of person who'll fit your team. We get the brief right before we start looking. - 2. Sourcing
We go out and recruit specifically for your role — fresh candidates matched to your brief from our talent pool in India, not assigned from a generic bench. - 3. Screening
We run the first two interview rounds and skills tests ourselves, assessing ability, experience and business English, so only genuinely capable candidates reach you. - 4. Final interview
You take the final interview and make the decision on who joins your team. If you'd rather we place the strongest screened candidate, we can do that too. - 5. Onboarding
We set your hire up properly — your systems and logins, SOPs, NDA, time tracking and UK working hours — so they're ready to work from day one. - 6. Ongoing support
Your dedicated account manager stays involved with regular check-ins and reporting, handles additional hires as you scale, and puts things right if you're ever unhappy.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £950/month (~£11,400/yr) vs ~£30k–£38k UK fully loaded — up to 67% less.
What does a business administrator do?
Coordinates internal processes, manages documents and records, maintains systems and CRMs, supports the team and handles operational admin.
Business administrator vs virtual assistant — what’s the difference?
A VA focuses on personal/executive support (inbox, diary, travel); a business administrator is more operational, owning back-office processes and systems for the business as a whole. Many clients have both.
Which tools will they use?
MS 365, Google Workspace, your CRM and project tools — in your existing setup.
UK hours?
Yes — full UK business hours, aligned with your team.
Is my data safe?
Yes — NDAs, GDPR training, our ISO 27001-certified offshore facility, permissions you control.
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
Can they manage other admin staff?
Senior administrators can coordinate and supervise junior admin, including an offshore team we build around them.
Not the right fit?
90-day guarantee — if you're unhappy in the first 90 days, we replace within two weeks at no extra cost.
Suitable for a small business?
Ideal — operational support that keeps a growing business organised, for far less than a UK hire.

Business Administrator Support by Industry
Admin assistant and outsourced admin support
If you're looking for an admin assistant, outsourced admin services, outsourced admin support, or broader business support outsourcing, a dedicated business administrator covers it. Rather than piecing together freelancers or admin assistant services that come and go, you get one person who owns your administrative workflows full-time — admin outsourcing done as a dedicated hire, not a shared queue.
