Global Employer of Record

Hire compliantly abroad before your local entity exists

An Employer of Record hires staff on your behalf and carries compliance liability, letting you operate before incorporating locally. It is the lowest-cost way to validate a market: confirm product-market fit for two or three months before committing to an entity.

Where these problems usually surface

  • Hiring one local sales rep seems to require setting up entity, tax and social security first — disproportionate cost and delay.
  • Using independent contractor agreements and being reclassified as de facto employment, triggering back payments and penalties.
  • Labour law varies enormously: probation, termination procedure, severance, overtime caps — one misstep means arbitration.
  • Payroll cadence and statutory benefits not matching what was promised, damaging morale and trust.

What we actually deliver

  • Country employment compliance assessment: minimum pay, probation, working hours, statutory benefits, termination cost
  • Locally compliant employment contracts drafted and executed
  • Payroll processing, withholding tax and social contribution filings
  • Onboarding and offboarding management with statutory procedure and documentation
  • Risk advisories and dispute response support
  • Transition path: moving staff onto your own entity once the market is validated

Frequently asked

When is EOR cheaper than incorporating?
Typically below five employees, or when market viability is still unproven. Above that — or once long-term local presence is certain — your own entity becomes more economical. We calculate the break-even for you.
Who manages the employee day to day?
You do — tasks, performance and direction stay with you. The EOR carries only the legal employment relationship and compliance liability.
