You don't need a Philippine entity to hire in the Philippines.


Most foreign founders assume an Employer of Record means paying a markup to skip paperwork. It doesn't. It's a legal substitution of employer — Aleph becomes the named employer on record, you keep full operational control of the work.


Swipe through for the parts most proposals leave vague:

→ What actually splits between Aleph and you

 → The Performance Bond, explained in plain terms — refundable in full 60 days after termination, not a fee

 → A real itemized cost breakdown at PHP 40,000 salary, peso by peso

 → Why sourcing for overseas-bound roles has to run through a separate, POEA-accredited partner — and how that pathway works end to end

Eleven years of doing this before "EOR" was a category name. Cebu-based, founder-accessible, statutory contributions billed at cost.


If you're building a Philippine team without a Philippine entity — drop your headcount and target salary band below. We'll reply with your exact monthly figure.
