Why Choose an Employer of Record in Armenia Over Company Incorporation?

To begin operations on your own in Armenia, you would first have to understand the complex system of regulations required to set up and manage a new legal identity, then ensure complete legal compliance with every law relating to labor and tax.  

Choosing to establish a new company in Armenia would mean being liable for every aspect of that company being fully operational and totally compliant before getting started on making it successful. It can be costly, involving large teams and many headaches, from legally hiring your employees to establishing back-end processes like tax compliance. From start to finish, the time required to start a company in Armenia could be as long as two months and can require several thousand dollars in fees in the first two years.  

A knowledgeable PEO can do all of these things for you in a fraction of the time, allowing you to begin the tasks you need to complete to be successful from day one. 

A PEO: 

  • Saves time on expanding
  • Lowers expansion costs
  • Ensures legal compliance
  • Allows you to focus on growing abroad

The Differences Between PEOs and Employer Of Record

When considering a partnership with a PEO in Armenia, you will likely also hear the term EOR (Employer of Record). Typically, the two terms are largely interchangeable based on the kind of services they offer. The main difference between the two is the level of liability taken on by the PEO/EOR and the parties involved in the agreement.  

  • A PEO provides all HR services to employees on behalf of other companies 
  • A PEO agreement is made between the PEO and the original company to share the responsibilities for the employee 
  • An EOR in Armenia legally hires the employee on behalf of the original company and provides all HR services 
  • An EOR agreement is made between the EOR and the employee on behalf of the original company 

In Armenia both services are indistinct according to national regulations, but INS Global can offer any elements of both according to your requirements
