Cairo is 2 hours ahead of London for most of the year, so a squad working 09:00–⁠17:00 Cairo time shares 6 hours with London’s 09:00–⁠17:00 day, enough for stand-ups, pairing and reviews. For a few weeks in spring the gap is 1 hour and overlap rises to 7. Squads follow a Monday-to-Friday calendar, with fixed overlap hours agreed in the SOW.

Egypt does not have UK adequacy status, so restricted transfers use the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to EU standard contractual clauses, backed by a transfer risk assessment. Where you prefer, engineers work only inside your UK environment to minimise data movement.

The off-payroll rules target individuals working through their own intermediaries. Our specialists are engaged by Remote Pro Ai, work outside the UK and are directed by our Squad Lead under a company-to-company service contract. We provide a written position on request; your adviser should confirm it for your engagement.

No. Business-to-business services supplied to UK companies from outside the UK fall under the reverse-charge mechanism, so you account for VAT yourself where it applies. Invoices state this clearly. Your finance team should confirm treatment for your specific VAT position.

Yes. Accessibility Specialists audit websites and apps against WCAG 2.2 AA, support fixes with your engineers and draft the accessibility statement that UK public-sector bodies must publish. They also add automated checks to CI so new releases do not introduce regressions.

Our Case R-01 case study covers a UK retail group’s headless commerce replatform, delivered by a 6-engineer squad over 8 months: conversion rose 21%, LCP stayed under 1.8 seconds and the site launched before peak season. A reference is available under NDA, subject to the client’s consent.
