🌍💼 Local Entity vs. Global EOR: Which Strategy Fits Your Global Expansion? 🌟 The dynamics of global expansion have shifted. Companies no longer rely solely on physical assets—today, the focus is on hiring talent across borders to innovate and create new services. 💡 🔶 Local Entity Setup: Offers full control but requires significant investment and long-term commitment. This traditional local incorporation can slow down your target market entry, and exits are rarely simple. 🔷 Global Employer of Record (EOR): A more flexible option, allowing you to hire talent globally without the hassle of entity setup. Think of it as using an established hiring infrastructure to expand without being tied down — just like how Airbnb revolutionised hospitality. 🌐 🛠️ 📊 Which model fits your global expansion strategy? 🔹  Testing new market with minimal cost and risk? 🔹 Scaling across multiple countries fast? 🔹 Streamlining compliance with fewer local challenges? 🔶Swipe through our carousel to explore 10 curious facts to help guide your decision. 🔷 Read the full article for a deeper dive into which strategy fits your expansion goals: https://bit.ly/4dGLZjq 🌐💡 #GlobalExpansion #EmployerOfRecord #Compliance #EOR #Payroll #HumanResources #RemoteWork #WorkFromAnywhere #TalentAcquisition
