UK profile

Worksome is an external-workforce (freelancer and contractor management) platform built in Copenhagen by a team of former Google staff, led by co-founder and CEO Morten Petersen with co-founders Christina Brun Petersen, Mathias Tao Agger Linnemann and Hans Peter Nielsen. Third-party profiles give 2017 as its founding year, which the directory has not checked against the Danish register. It raised a USD 13 million Series A in 2021 from Tommy Ahlers and Lind & Risør. Its about page now lists offices in Copenhagen (HQ), London and Denver. G2 lists more than 350 enterprise customers, including Publicis Groupe, Carlsberg and Novo Nordisk.

The UK company, Worksome Ltd (11615731), was incorporated on 10 October 2018 with SIC 63120 (web portals) and is registered at Work.Life Borough, 140-148 Borough High Street, London SE1. Morten Petersen is its sole current director, and it has filed a statement that there is no registrable person with significant control. Worksome Ltd is an A-rated Skilled Worker sponsor on the Home Office register. The platform is strongest on IR35 status determination and worker classification, with indemnification on classified engagements, and on paying contractors in 150+ countries.

EOR is a paid add-on rather than the core product. Its pricing FAQ says Worksome 'collaborate[s] with a highly vetted network of partners' for EOR, and the directory has not confirmed whether UK EOR employees are employed by Worksome Ltd itself. Pricing is either a percentage of contractor spend or a flat annual subscription, plus an implementation fee, and EOR is charged per employee. No rate card is published. Worksome holds a SOC 2 Type II report, and G2 rates it 4.5/5 from 126 reviews.
