PEO or Entity?

A big part of global expansion is hiring on-the-ground talent. The best way to do this is often greatly misunderstood. To keep things simple for now, there are basically two options. One option is through an Employer of Record solution (also called “International PEO”). A second option is through the establishment of a local entity to payroll talent.

While both can work, the use cases for these options are often misunderstood and the costs and benefits vary greatly depending on your specific situation, target country and business objectives.

We introduce both options to you via a high-level comparison table below. If you are interested to discuss in greater detail about your specific situation, please click one of the three buttons below to BOOK A MEETING with one of our global expansion experts so they can share their decades of experience helping companies just like you.
