Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £950/month (~£11,400/yr) vs ~£28k–£38k UK — up to 67% less.
What does a data entry specialist do?
Accurate high-volume data entry, cleaning, deduplication, CRM/database maintenance, document processing and validation.
How is this different from a data-entry bureau?
A bureau processes records in a shared queue, often per-record on their platform. A dedicated specialist works only for you, in your systems, learns your data standards, on a fixed fee.
How do you ensure accuracy?
We screen for accuracy and speed, and mid/senior specialists build validation and QA into the process. You set the standards; they maintain them.
Which tools?
Excel, Google Sheets, your CRM/database — in your setup.
UK hours?
Yes — full-time UK hours. Standard hours are 9–6 with a one-hour lunch; and if your business doesn't run on typical hours, your hire can work whatever full-time hours you need.
Is my data safe?
Yes — NDAs, GDPR, and our ISO 27001-certified offshore facility, with permissions you control. Important for data work specifically.
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
Can they handle a one-off migration or just ongoing work?
Both — many start with a backlog/migration then move to ongoing maintenance.
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.
