Who we work with in the UK
A build partner that fits the region.
The UK sits five to six hours behind us, which puts your whole morning inside our working day. Live calls happen before your lunch, and the hours before you log on are spent on your backlog, so there is finished work waiting when you start. Your morning, our afternoon, in your favour.
Expert team, sane cost
UK agency rates are typically two to three times ours. You get experienced engineers, the same people from kickoff to launch, and full ownership at a fraction of the cost.
Built to UK standards
Accessible (WCAG), secure, documented code, UK GDPR-aware data handling with your data in the cloud region you choose, and engineers who communicate in clear English and write things down.
A working day, UK time
Your whole morning, inside our working day.
Our office hours are 10:00 to 19:00 in Dhaka, Sunday to Thursday. On UK time that is 04:00 to 13:00 in winter and 05:00 to 14:00 in summer, so work is waiting when you log on and the morning is yours for live calls.
0104:00 GMT · 05:00 BST
Our day starts
We start at 10:00 in Dhaka while the UK is still asleep, and the first thing we pick up is yesterday's feedback from you.
0209:00 UK
Work waiting for you
When you log on, the morning's work is already in your repo, with a short note on what changed and what we need from you.
0309:00 to 12:00 UK
The live window
Stand-ups, reviews and demos happen in your morning, our afternoon. Demos are recorded for anyone who missed the call.
0413:00 GMT · 14:00 BST
A written handoff
We wrap up at 19:00 Dhaka time with a written handoff. Your afternoon is for testing and feedback, which we pick up first thing.
05Sunday
Monday starts ahead
Our week runs Sunday to Thursday, so a full day of work is done before your Monday stand-up. Friday runs on Thursday's handoff.
The real cost
A UK developer costs more than the salary.
Employer National Insurance, pension and recruitment all sit on top of pay, and one hire covers one skill set. Here is the arithmetic, using the latest UK market data.
Hiring in-house in the UK
- A median salary of £65,000 for a UK software developer, or £81,250 in London (IT Jobs Watch, six months to November 2026).
- Employer National Insurance at 15% on pay above £5,000, about £9,000 a year at that salary.
- At least 3% employer pension on qualifying earnings, about £1,300 a year more.
- Recruitment agency fees, commonly quoted at 15% to 25% of first-year salary, and weeks of hiring before anyone starts.
- One person's skills. Design, mobile, backend and DevOps are separate hires, each with notice periods if it does not work out.
- Or a contractor at a median of £525 a day (£550 in London), with off-payroll (IR35) checks if you are a medium or large business.
Working with Algoramming
- One price per project or per month, with an itemised estimate after a one to two week discovery, before you commit to the build.
- No recruitment fee, and no employer National Insurance or pension on your side. We invoice as a supplier.
- Designers, mobile, web, backend and DevOps engineers on one team, so you are not hiring each role separately.
- The same experienced people from kickoff to launch, with no minimum-month lock-in to begin.
- Code, cloud and accounts in your name from day one, with a walk-away clause in every contract.

How a project runs
Discover, design, build, launch, support.
A recorded demo and a written changelog every second Friday. If something slips, you hear it from us first.
011 to 2 weeks
Discover
We map workflows, decisions and the metrics that matter before anyone writes code. You leave with a costed plan.
021 to 2 weeks
Design
The riskiest screens and integrations are prototyped first, so surprises show up on a whiteboard, not in production.
03Two-week sprints
Build
Code review and CI from sprint one. Every second Friday you get a recorded demo and a changelog.
041 week
Launch
A staged rollout to your own cloud, with a runbook, monitoring and one-click rollback.
05Ongoing
Support
Monitoring, incident response and steady improvements, for as long as you want us around.
Three ways to work with us
Project
Discovery through launch and handover. Best when the brief is clear and the deadline is firm.
Retainer
A rolling backlog with the same experienced people. Best when priorities change faster than annual planning.
Embedded
Our engineers join your Slack, repos and sprint board. Best when your in-house team needs expert support.
Contracts, data and tax in the UK
The paperwork, already thought through.
UK procurement and finance teams ask the same questions before they sign. These are the answers, up front.
- Your paper, not ours: we work under your MSA, SOW and NDA, and the IP is yours from the first commit.
- UK GDPR: we act as your processor under a data processing agreement with the Article 28 terms.
- International transfers: Bangladesh has no UK adequacy regulations, so where our team needs access to personal data we put the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or UK Addendum in place.
- UK data residency: your data can stay in London on AWS (eu-west-2), Google Cloud (europe-west2), Azure UK South, Supabase or Vercel.
- VAT: we supply from outside the UK, so VAT-registered UK businesses account for it under the reverse charge (VAT Notice 741A) and our invoices carry no UK VAT.
- Accessibility: we aim for WCAG 2.2 AA on every project, the standard UK public sector websites must meet.

FAQ
Working with us from the UK.
Anything not covered here? Message us on WhatsApp or send the brief. We reply within one business day, NDA on request.
Do you work with UK businesses remotely?
Yes. We work with clients across the UK entirely remotely, with live calls in your morning and the rest of our working day spent on your backlog before you log on.
How does the time difference with the UK work?
The UK is five hours behind us in summer and six in winter, so your 9am is our 2pm or 3pm. Our working day runs from early morning to early afternoon UK time, which gives you a live window every morning for calls and demos, and a head start on the day's work before you arrive. Our week runs Sunday to Thursday, so Monday opens with a full day of work already done, and Friday is reviewed from Thursday's written handoff. Demos are recorded for anyone who missed the call.
How do your rates compare to UK agencies?
Our rates are typically a fraction of UK agency rates, often two to three times lower, with the same code ownership and expert involvement. Every project is costed after a one to two week discovery, so you see the full number before committing to the build.
Do you sign UK contracts and NDAs?
Yes. We work under your MSA, SOW and NDA, and you own all source code and IP from the first commit.
How do you handle UK GDPR?
Your data stays in your own cloud accounts, in the region you choose, for example AWS or Google Cloud in London. We build with UK GDPR in mind: encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, data minimisation and documented data flows, and we sign a data processing agreement on request.
Does IR35 apply if we work with you?
HMRC's guidance says a worker who is not UK resident and works outside the UK is unlikely to fall within the off-payroll (IR35) rules. Our engineers are our own in-house team in Dhaka, and you contract with Algoramming as a supplier, so there is no status determination to make for each engineer. Your adviser can confirm this for your situation.
Can we claim UK R&D tax relief on work you do?
Usually not. For accounting periods starting on or after 1 April 2024, R&D work contracted to a company abroad is generally excluded from UK R&D relief, and HMRC's exceptions are narrow and do not cover cost or the availability of staff. If relief matters to your budget, compare costs after relief with your adviser before you choose a supplier.
What language do you use with clients in the UK?
English. With UK clients, our meetings, calls, demos, day-to-day updates, documentation and code are all in clear English by default. Where the product itself needs it we can still build localised interfaces, for example Welsh, Arabic or French, but every conversation with your team happens in English.
Will we own the source code and IP for our UK project?
Yes. On every UK engagement you own the source code, cloud infrastructure, secrets and intellectual property from the first commit. Everything lives in your accounts, and nothing is ever locked behind us.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch in the UK?
Yes. We support UK clients with maintenance on a monthly retainer, monitoring, fixes, security updates and improvements, whether or not we built the original system. Urgent tickets under a maintenance contract are answered at any hour.
