Outsourcing to South Africa is becoming an increasingly attractive option for UK property businesses looking to scale without inflating payroll costs. Many companies want to grow, improve efficiency, and access high quality talent, yet they also need to keep overheads under control. This is exactly why ProFind has launched a new South African remote recruitment service, giving UK firms access to exceptional English speaking professionals at a fraction of the usual cost.
Why UK businesses are exploring new staffing models
Over the past year, many of my clients have been sharing the same challenge. They need brilliant people, greater flexibility, and the ability to scale, although they also need to keep control of costs, compliance, and risk. Traditional hiring models are not always the best fit, especially for administrative and support roles.
This is what inspired our latest solution.
Introducing ProFind’s South African Remote Recruitment Service
This new service allows UK businesses to hire skilled English speaking professionals from South Africa, without the complexities of overseas employment, payroll, or legal compliance.
Through our trusted Employer of Record partner, we manage the entire process for you, making outsourcing to South Africa simple, compliant, and highly efficient.

Why South Africa is such a strong option
Outsourcing to South Africa is appealing for several reasons:
- Excellent English fluency
- Strong education standards
- Aligned working hours with the UK
- Loyal, hard working professionals
- Significantly lower employment costs
To give some context, a remote PA, lettings administrator, accountant or social media manager in South Africa typically costs around one thousand four hundred and eighteen pounds per month all inclusive, with an optional tech setup of about six hundred pounds. That amounts to roughly seventeen thousand pounds per year, compared with more than thirty thousand pounds for the same role in the UK.
Is this right for every business?
It may not suit every company or every role, although it is an ideal solution for many of my clients. When the aim is to get a job done efficiently, it operates much like hiring a remote worker within the UK. Both independent agencies and multi office firms are already seeing excellent results.
Why this matters for 2026 and beyond
I am proud of how ProFind continues to evolve in response to client needs. This South African model offers flexibility, compliance, and exceptional value. With Outsourcing to South Africa now an option, UK businesses can expand their teams strategically and cost effectively.
If you are planning growth for 2026 and would like to explore whether this approach could work for you, I would be delighted to talk you through it.
