Hire developers for your UK-based team
The UK tech sector faces a persistent skills gap — over 60% of UK businesses report difficulty hiring developers, and London senior engineer salaries now exceed GBP 80,000-120,000. India's Commonwealth connection with the UK creates a uniquely smooth working relationship: 7-8 hours of daily GMT/BST overlap, shared business English fluency, and cultural familiarity built over decades of UK-India commercial partnership. Our IR35-free B2B model means zero off-payroll working determination headaches — just a straightforward monthly invoice.

Why United Kingdom companies choose Geminate
7-8 Hours Daily GMT/BST Overlap
IST is only 4.5-5.5 hours ahead of UK time. Our developers join your 9am GMT standup at 2:30pm IST and remain available until 5-6pm GMT. This near-complete overlap means you operate as a single team, not separate shifts.
IR35-Free, No Off-Payroll Complications
Since April 2021, medium and large UK companies bear IR35 determination responsibility. With Geminate, this does not apply — our developers are our employees in India. You receive a B2B service invoice with no IR35, no PAYE, and no employment tribunal risk.
Commonwealth Cultural Alignment
India and the UK share business English as a working language, similar corporate communication norms, and decades of cross-border professional collaboration. Our developers integrate with UK teams faster than developers from non-Commonwealth regions.
Simple, transparent pricing
One dedicated developer, full-time, integrated into your team. Month-to-month with paid trial week.
A complete engineering pod with tech lead. 2-8 developers, project management included.
Fixed-scope product development from requirements to deployment. Ideal for MVPs and new features.
Questions from United Kingdom companies
How does your model eliminate IR35 risk entirely?
Our developers are full-time employees of Geminate Solutions in India. There is no contractor relationship with your UK entity. You receive a B2B service invoice — the same as paying any international SaaS or services vendor. No IR35 determination, no HMRC reporting, no employment tribunal exposure.
Which UK industries and cities do you serve?
We work with companies in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Cambridge across fintech (FCA-regulated), healthtech (NHS-adjacent), SaaS, and e-commerce. Our developers understand UK-specific requirements including FCA compliance, NHS data standards, and UK accessibility regulations.
Can you invoice in GBP?
We primarily invoice in USD with GBP invoicing available upon request. Payment is via bank transfer with NET-15 terms. We provide invoices compatible with UK accounting software and VAT reverse-charge documentation.
How do you handle timezone differences with UK teams?
IST is only 4.5-5.5 hours ahead of GMT/BST. Our developers join your 9am standup at 2:30pm IST and stay available until 5-6pm GMT. This provides 7-8 hours of shared working time daily — more than most Eastern European nearshore options.
What are the legal and tax implications of hiring from India for UK companies?
Our model eliminates IR35 risk entirely. Developers are Geminate employees in India, not contractors to your UK entity. You receive a B2B service invoice. No PAYE, no National Insurance, no employment tribunal exposure.
How much can UK companies save with Geminate?
A senior developer in London costs GBP 80,000-120,000/year plus employer NI (13.8%), pension, and office costs. Through Geminate, equivalent talent costs GBP 28,000-60,000/year. A 3-developer team saves GBP 180,000-300,000 annually.
Do you have references from other UK clients?
Yes. We work with UK companies in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh across fintech, SaaS, and e-commerce. We provide references from UK-based technical leaders who can speak to code quality and reliability.
