Overview

Get the Specialist Expertise Your Business Needs Without the Full-Time Salary

There is a moment most growing businesses hit when they know they need an expert. A proper marketer, a compliance officer, an IT manager, a finance director. But the numbers just do not stack up for a full-time hire.

A senior marketing manager costs £45,000 to £60,000 per year. An FD starts at £70,000. An IT manager sits at £40,000 to £55,000. And that is before employer NI, pension, holiday pay, sick pay, equipment, and the cost of recruiting them in the first place.

Specialists

What Specialists Do You Actually Need?

Most growing businesses need at least some combination of the following, and most cannot justify hiring all of them full-time:

01

A marketing strategist and implementation team: to generate leads, build the brand, and manage content

02

A recruitment partner: to manage hiring when the business is growing

03

An IT specialist: to manage infrastructure, security, and systems

04

An accounting function: to handle bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, and cash flow

05

An admin and operations team: to handle the day-to-day business administration

06

A compliance resource: particularly for regulated businesses in financial services or legal

CorpCats Model

The CorpCats Model: Specialists Without the Salary

CorpCats is not a staffing agency. We are a managed service provider, which means we take responsibility for the output, not just the hours.

When you engage CorpCats for specialist support, you are not getting a freelancer who invoices you for time. You are getting a team that is accountable for delivering a defined scope of work, with the management, quality control, and consistency that comes from working with an organisation rather than an individual.

FAQs

Frequently Asked questions

Is it cheaper than hiring?

Almost always. A full-time marketing manager at £40,000 per year costs around £50,000 to £55,000 all in. For the same budget, CorpCats provides a team of specialists: a strategist, a content writer, an SEO specialist, a designer. The depth of expertise is greater and the risk is lower.

That is often the point. A fractional FD, Head of Marketing, or IT Director gives you strategic thinking at an operational cost. We have senior specialists who work across multiple client accounts, which makes them affordable for each individual client while remaining genuinely useful.

Every account has a named account manager at CorpCats who owns the relationship and the quality. Your specialists are briefed, your brand guidelines are documented, and your account manager reviews output before it reaches you.
