We translate the documents companies handle every day: contracts, terms and conditions and NDAs, annual reports and financial statements, board and investor communications, HR policies and employee handbooks, marketing and website content, product and technical documentation, tenders and proposals, and business presentations. Each document goes to a linguist matched to its subject, so a contract is handled by a legal linguist and a set of accounts by a financial one. If you need an official document certified for a company registration or an authority, see our certified translation services.

As ATC and EUATC members, we prioritise your satisfaction by upholding the highest standards in business ethics and translation quality.

Consistent across every department and market

For an ongoing company account we keep approved terminology consistent, so product names, legal phrasing and brand wording stay identical across departments and future orders, and when a project needs several languages at once, for a launch, a rollout or an investor pack, a single project manager coordinates every language against one delivery date. This account-level consistency is set up and maintained through our main translation service; tell us the languages and the date you are working to and we will plan the project around it.

100% Confidentiality GDPR-first handling

2-step Proofreading process (proofread + QA check)

50+ Specialized Fields where subject mastery meets linguistic precision

Company documents are commercially sensitive, and we treat them that way. As an ISO 27001-certified company, we manage your documents within independently assessed information security systems, with full confidentiality throughout. Every linguist works under a confidentiality agreement, and we are glad to sign your company's own NDA before work begins, so contracts, financial results and strategy stay protected from the moment you send them.

Business translation is priced per 1,000 words plus VAT, not per page, in three tiers: AI-Assisted from £80, Specialist from £110 and Premium from £150, with a £25 minimum charge per language. The right tier depends on how the document will be used, from an internal reference translation through to a published, client-facing text. Turnaround follows a specialist's real working pace, around 3,000 to 3,500 words a day, plus roughly 30% more time on Premium for the independent review stage; a short business document is often ready within one to two working days, with same-day options on request. Upload your document for a fixed quote, or see our translation prices for the full breakdown by tier.

We translate business documents to and from more than 200 languages and variants, from the major European and Asian languages through to less commonly requested combinations. Tell us the language pair, the subject and your deadline, and we will confirm coverage and a delivery date before you order.

Business translation at Absolute Translations is priced per 1,000 words plus VAT, not per page, in three tiers: AI-Assisted from £80, Specialist from £110 and Premium from £150, with a £25 minimum charge per language. The tier depends on how the document will be used, from an internal reference translation to a published, client-facing text. Upload the document for a fixed quote, or first see how our translation pricing works for the full breakdown.

Turnaround follows a specialist's real working pace, around 3,000 to 3,500 words a day, plus roughly 30% more time for the independent review stage on Premium orders. A short business document is often ready within one to two working days, and same-day translation is available on request for urgent work. Larger reports and multi-language projects take longer, and we confirm a delivery date before you order. Tell us your deadline when you upload the document and we will work to it.

Every business document is matched to a native-speaker linguist who works in its subject, not a generalist, so legal, financial, technical, marketing and HR content each go to someone who understands the terminology and the stakes. A contract is handled by a legal linguist and a set of accounts by a financial one. Specialist and Premium orders are then reviewed by a second linguist against the source before delivery, the two-step process required under ISO 17100, which we were the first UK company to achieve.

We translate the documents companies handle every day: contracts, terms and conditions and NDAs, annual reports and financial statements, board and investor communications, HR policies and handbooks, marketing and website content, product and technical documentation, tenders and business presentations. Each goes to a linguist matched to its subject. If you need an official document certified for a company registration or an authority, we certify it too. Tell us the document and its purpose and we will confirm the right approach.

Company documents are commercially sensitive, and confidentiality is the default on every project. As an ISO 27001-certified company, we manage your documents within independently assessed information security systems, every linguist works under a signed confidentiality agreement, and we are glad to sign your company's own NDA before any file is shared. This is why companies including Coutts, Deutsche Bank and American Express trust us with contracts, financial results and strategic documents.

Why Absolute Translations

We were the first UK translation company to achieve ISO 17100 accreditation, and we also hold ISO 9001, ISO 18841 and ISO 18587, and we are ISO 27001 certified for information security. We are members of the ATC and EUATC, GDPR-compliant, and a Goldman Sachs 10KSB member. We have worked for companies including Coutts, Deutsche Bank, American Express and Virgin Atlantic, and we are rated Excellent on Trustpilot, with 2,500+ reviews. We are also carbon negative, a step beyond carbon neutral. Established in 2001, we have over twenty years of experience translating for UK and international businesses.
