Who This Service Is For

CyberSpark's EOR service is structured specifically for UK tech companies scaling their engineering velocity:

Early Scaling

UK Tech Startups & Scale-ups

Making your first 1–5 India hires. EOR removes the 3–6 month wait for entity incorporation and gets compliant employment in place within days.

Direct Placement

Existing India Relationships

UK companies with an existing contractor, vendor team member, or referral who want to bring that person into formal employment with statutory coverage and clear IP ownership.

Brand Control

Offshore Teams Under Your Brand

UK companies using CyberSpark for offshore development who want specific engineers employed directly under their corporate brand rather than as CyberSpark staff.

Market Entry

Evaluating India Before an Entity

Companies evaluating India before committing to an entity — EOR is the lowest-risk way to test India as a hiring location with zero winding-up complexity.

100% Client IP Assignment Under English Law

Rock-Solid Intellectual Property Ownership from Day One

Every EOR employment contract includes an invention assignment clause: all work product, code, and intellectual property created during employment is assigned to the instructing UK company from the moment of creation.

This is confirmed in both the UK-law commercial agreement with CyberSpark and the Indian-law employment contract issued to the engineer. Both legal layers are fully executed before day one.
