Employer of Record

We help UK companies employ South African professionals without a local entity, so you get the talent and we carry the employment.

OutSouth becomes the legal employer in South Africa. Contracts, payroll, PAYE and compliance handled, while you manage the work, the targets and the team.

Why businesses trust us

UK standards. Delivered.

John Swanepoel, Founder and Managing Director of OutSouth
John Swanepoel
Founder & Managing Director

OutSouth was founded to bridge the gap between UK business expectations and South African delivery capability, with UK and South African professionals leading every engagement.

We hired two developers in Cape Town without opening an entity. OutSouth employs them, runs payroll and keeps us compliant. It just works.

Tom
Director, UK SME

The clear split is what we love. Our manager runs the work. OutSouth runs the employment. Nothing falls in between.

Priya
Operations Lead

Contracts, PAYE, leave, all handled. We get one invoice and a brilliant team member.

Steven
Founder, recruitment firm

Trusted by UK recruitment and professional-services firms.
