Commonwork
A B2B talent operations brand placing vetted African technical teams into European mid-market companies.
Value already exists in assets, position or revenue. Buy rather than build from scratch.
Build this with BrandNetOperating Brand — contracted revenue with named clients; financials disclosed under NDA.
Commonwork is an operating business placing vetted engineering teams into European mid-market companies on managed contracts.
European mid-market firms cannot fill technical roles; distributed hiring fails without a managed delivery layer.
Mid-market technology and industrial firms of 50–500 staff.
Distributed delivery is now normalised and the talent supply has deepened considerably.
Persistent structural shortage across the segment.
Generalist staffing agencies and unmanaged freelance marketplaces.
Managed teams, not resumes.
Managed contract margin on placed teams.
The delivery system is proven; brand and demand generation are the missing multiplier.
- Managed team contracts
- Placement fees
- Training and academy revenue
- Client advisory retainers
- Brand rebuild and market positioning
- Demand generation engine
- Delivery platform and reporting
- Expansion into two further markets
Acquisition consideration plus indicative $300k–$700k of growth investment.
- Client concentration
- Founder dependency during transition
- Margin pressure from larger entrants
