Thinking about expanding globally but dreading the cost of setting up a local entity? Here's what the numbers actually say.

EOR vs. Local Entity — Average Costs:
💰 Setup cost
 EOR: $0 – $500 | Local Entity: $10,000 – $50,000+
💰 Monthly fee
 EOR: $300 – $800 | Local Entity: $2,000 – $5,000+ (admin, payroll, accounting, legal, office, etc.)
⏱️ Time to hire
 EOR: 1 – 2 weeks | Local Entity: 3 – 6 months
✅ Ongoing compliance

 EOR: Included | Local Entity: Separate costs (legal, HR, tax advisors)
*Costs vary by country, headcount, and local requirements — figures reflect typical market ranges.

Why EORs work:
 ⚡ Speed — hire in days, not months
 🛡️ Compliance — stay aligned with local labor laws, reduce risk
 🎯 Focus — you manage the work, we handle HR, payroll, and admin
 🔄 Flexibility — scale up or down without long-term commitments

Best suited for:
 🌐 Entering new markets — test and grow without entity cost/complexity
 👥 Small to mid-sized teams — hire a few or hundreds, no company setup
 ⏳ Short- to medium-term projects — ideal for project-based or seasonal hiring
 🎯 Hard-to-hire roles — access global talent while we handle employment details
 🏢 Businesses that want to stay lean — focus on growth, not administration
The math is simple: an EOR gets you hiring in 1-2 weeks at a fraction of the cost of standing up a local entity that takes 3-6 months to operationalize.
