Common Questions

Why choose Marshall Human Capital over a law firm?

We offer a single, integrated solution: the UK Director service, Authorising Officer duties, and senior HR strategy. This single-source approach eliminates the complexity and fragmentation of using multiple advisors, speeding up your UK market entry.

What is the Authorising Officer (AO) service?

We appoint a government-vetted senior professional to manage all your UKVI Sponsor License duties, including reporting, system maintenance, and ensuring 100% audit readiness, protecting your right to hire international talent.

What is the Local UK Director service?

We act as your appointed UK-resident Director to satisfy local corporate governance requirements, enabling essential operations such as opening UK bank accounts, securing insurance, and meeting Companies House regulations.

How long does the UK setup process take?

While timelines depend on UKVI processing, we significantly reduce the timeline by immediately providing the mandatory local infrastructure (Director and AO) that other firms often require months to establish.

What ongoing support is included?

We provide continuous compliance management, Home Office reporting, and flexible senior HR advisory. Our goal is to ensure you maintain full compliance and access strategic HR support whenever complex issues arise.

How much does UK Expansion support cost?

Our pricing is tailored based on the scope of support you require (e.g., AO only, Director + AO, or Full Expansion). Book a free consultation, and we will provide a precise, fixed-fee quote based on your specific needs.

How do you ensure my business is audit-ready?

Our team proactively manages all your files and records on the Sponsorship Management System (SMS) to maintain absolute audit readiness at all times. Our leadership's enhanced security clearance provides the highest level of trust in this process.

Do I need to hire a full-time HR team right away?

No. We offer flexible, fractional senior HR support for strategic projects, complex employee issues, and policy creation, allowing you to access director-level expertise without the cost of a full-time senior hire.

How do I get started?

Simply book a free, confidential 15-minute consultation. We will discuss your specific expansion challenges and map out a precise, compliant strategy tailored to your business goals.
