RED SAG is an offshore software development company for UK businesses, working as a remote team based in Tiruppur, India. We help UK digital agencies, startups and small firms build SaaS products, web apps, AI chatbots and mobile apps, and we take on white-label development for agencies with more work than in-house capacity.
The UK is one of the easiest countries for us to work with: India is only four and a half to five and a half hours ahead, so most of your morning overlaps with our afternoon. There is no need for late-night calls on either side, and a question sent at 10AM is usually answered before lunch.
We price in pounds, sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements, and build with UK GDPR in mind. We have no UK office, so everything runs remotely, with a written scope, weekly demos and code kept in your own repository from the first day.
Our afternoon lines up with your morning, giving three and a half to four and a half hours of live overlap every weekday. Standups, reviews and quick calls fit into normal UK hours with no one working at midnight.
Agencies use us to take on projects they would otherwise turn down. We work under your brand, in your project management tools and to your standards, so your clients see one team and one point of contact.
We are used to UK clients asking about GDPR, data processing agreements and international transfers. We will sign a DPA, keep personal data out of development environments, and document how your system handles it.
You contract with a business that delivers an agreed outcome, not an individual you have to manage day to day. That tends to simplify paperwork, cover for holidays and continuity if someone leaves.
Estimates are in GBP with assumptions listed, so you can compare them with UK agency quotes on a like-for-like basis. Changes are quoted separately before any extra work starts.
Agency-branded websites, web apps and integrations built under NDA by a dedicated team that works inside your tools and timezone.
MVPs and growing SaaS products with multi-tenancy, Stripe or Razorpay subscriptions, admin panels and product analytics.
AI chatbots, WhatsApp Business API automation and AI agents for lead capture, support, bookings and order updates.
Payment gateway and UPI integration, lending systems, wallets, eKYC and fintech MVPs built with audit-ready foundations.
Cross-platform iOS and Android apps in React Native or Flutter, with backend, payments and store launch handled end to end.
Fixed monthly plans for updates, security, backups, uptime monitoring, speed fixes and small content edits on your website.
Suited to a defined website, web app or MVP. We produce a written specification, a GBP quote and a milestone payment schedule. Most UK clients prefer this for first projects, because the cost is known before work starts.
A developer, or developer plus designer or tester, working only on your roadmap and joining your daily standup during the UK morning. Billed monthly in GBP, with a notice period rather than a long lock-in.
A monthly block of hours for agencies that need reliable overflow capacity, or for businesses that need updates, security patches, hosting care and small changes to an existing site or app.
India (IST, UTC+5:30) does not change its clocks. During British Summer Time we are 4.5 hours ahead of London; during GMT in winter we are 5.5 hours ahead. So 9AM in London is 1:30PM in India in summer and 2:30PM in winter.
Our working day runs 9AM to 6PM IST, which is 4:30AM to 1:30PM BST in summer and 3:30AM to 12:30PM GMT in winter. A standup at 9:30AM or 10AM UK time works year round and leaves time for a follow-up call before your lunch.
Anything you send during your UK afternoon is picked up first thing in our morning, which is still before you start work. For agencies, that means client feedback from the afternoon can often be addressed by the time you are back at your desk.
We build with UK GDPR principles in mind: data minimisation, role-based access, audit trails where needed, and simple ways to export or erase a person's data. We are happy to sign a data processing agreement where we handle personal data on your behalf.
India does not have a UK adequacy decision, so if we access personal data you may need the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses. Often the simplest route is to keep real personal data out of our access entirely and use anonymised test data.
Because you contract with RED SAG as a company for defined services, rather than engaging an individual contractor, the paperwork is usually simpler than hiring UK freelancers. IR35 and VAT treatment depend on your specific arrangement, so please confirm with your accountant.
We sign your NDA before detailed discussions, and our agreement assigns copyright and IP in the delivered work to you on payment. Code is kept in your own GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket account.
£900 – £3,000
Typical range for a custom-designed, responsive website on a CMS, with contact forms, cookie consent, analytics and technical SEO basics. Hosting and paid plugins are billed at cost or paid directly by you.
£5,000 – £24,000
Typical range for a SaaS MVP, client portal or internal system including design, development, testing, deployment and a post-launch fix period. Integrations, payments and mobile apps are the main factors in where a project lands.
£1,350 – £2,750 per month
Indicative monthly rate for a full-time developer, depending on experience and stack, including code review and coordination. Invoiced in GBP and payable by bank transfer or Wise.
Indicative budgets based on typical projects. Your fixed-price quote depends on scope, integrations and timeline.
Mainly to get more development for the budget, whether that is affordable web development for a small UK business or custom software development for a funded startup. UK agencies commonly charge somewhere in the region of £60 to £120 an hour or more, and an Indian team typically costs a good deal less for comparable work. The time difference is small enough that your team and ours share most of the UK morning.
No. We are a remote team based in Tiruppur, India, and we do not have an office or staff in the UK. All UK projects run over video calls, Slack or Teams, email and shared tools, with contracts and invoices issued from India in pounds sterling.
You would be contracting with an overseas company to deliver defined services, not engaging an individual worker through their own company, which generally keeps things simpler than hiring UK contractors. Off-payroll rules depend on the specific facts, though, so we always recommend confirming your position with your accountant.
We design systems with UK GDPR in mind, sign a data processing agreement where we process personal data for you, and prefer to work with anonymised or dummy data during development. Where we genuinely need access to live personal data, your transfer mechanism, such as the IDTA, should be in place first.
Yes, and it is one of the most common ways UK clients use us. We work under your brand in your tools, follow your processes and code standards, and do not contact your end clients unless you ask. You keep the client relationship, the pricing and the credit.
Our day runs 9AM to 6PM India time. That covers roughly 9AM to 1:30PM in London during British Summer Time and 9AM to 12:30PM in winter. We suggest a fixed morning standup and use async updates for the afternoon, which we pick up first thing the next day.
We quote and invoice in GBP. Most UK clients pay by bank transfer, often through Wise, which keeps fees low and conversion transparent. Fixed-price projects are paid in milestones, while dedicated developers and retainers are billed monthly in advance. Hosting and third-party services are paid by you directly.
Most MVPs we scope for UK founders land somewhere between £5,000 and £24,000, depending on the number of user roles, integrations such as payments or accounting software, and whether you need mobile apps at launch. We will suggest what can wait until after you have paying users.
Yes. Alongside agency work, we act as the website development company for UK small businesses that want a custom site on a sensible budget, and as the mobile app development company for UK startups that need iOS and Android apps. Direct clients get the same routine as agencies: a written scope, a GBP quote, weekly demos and code in their own repository.
The process is much the same: discovery, a written scope, regular demos and a handover with documentation. The differences are cost, since a website development company in London or a mobile app development company in London prices at London day rates, and the fact that we meet over video rather than in your office. Custom software development in London and with us both depend on a clear scope; the shared UK morning covers the conversations that need to happen live.
