We think INS Global is a good solution about starting in a market like China. Understanding the market doesn’t mean you need to set up a company immediately.
5/5
Instead of going through the lengthy and complicated process of global expansion on your own, you can partner with a professional and legally secure PEO or EOR service to boost your growth potential. INS Global has employment outsourcing services available in more than 160 countries around the world. With over 15 years of experience in helping companies of all sizes enter new markets with speed and efficiency, our PEO in Egypt is the perfect partner for your expansion needs.
A PEO in Egypt can reduce the risk of error and make sure that your employees receive their payroll on time and in full legal compliance. With a PEO, you can be set up in just a few days and can continue company operations as usual.
An EOR in Egypt can handle all legal responsibilities so that you can focus on company growth and market success. The services that a PEO or EOR offers can make global expansion possible without you having to spend unnecessary time, resources, and money.
Our legal advisors have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that you and your employees are always in line with local regulations.
Traditional methods of global expansion tend to be expensive and time-consuming. A PEO gives you a shortcut by providing specific solutions for your every need.
A PEO doesn’t just handle employee payroll. Recruitment, onboarding, contractor management, and any other HR services you need to succeed are covered securely by a PEO provider.
A PEO can allow you to enter new markets in less than a week. With company incorporation, you might have to wait 4-12 months to start operations.
Instead of hiring multiple partners with separate lines of communication, a PEO gives you everything through a single dedicated point of contact.
Traditional company incorporation is a tried-and-tested method of global expansion, but it isn’t fast or easy. With company incorporation, you will be required to set up a legal branch of the company in the new country before any operations can progress.
Alternatively, a PEO acts as your legal entity so you can enter the new market without having to set up a separate company subsidiary.
With a PEO you can also:

We think INS Global is a good solution about starting in a market like China. Understanding the market doesn’t mean you need to set up a company immediately.
In just 4 simple steps you meet your global expansion needs with INS Global.
While a PEO and EOR offer similar services, they aren’t exactly the same. Each operates distinctly so you can choose the one that’s most suited for your specific needs.
Both a PEO and EOR provide HR services to employees of other companies. These services cover a wide range of tasks, including payroll, contract compliance, onboarding, etc.
Unlike a PEO, an EOR can legally hire employees on behalf of other companies. An EOR is also officially held liable for all responsibilities of the employees they recruit and hire.
As a result, in a PEO contract, the agreement is made between the company and the employee. In an EOR contract, however, the contract is directed by the company but is officially made between the EOR and the employee.
Payroll for staff of a non-profit organization can be challenging in a new market, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the specific laws around non-profit employees and organizations. It doesn’t have to be a lengthy or arduous process though. INS Global’s PEO in Egypt is well-equipped to handle your NGO staff payroll needs and ensure that they are receiving their salaries following local regulations.
A PEO also makes finding new staff for your NPO or NGO much easier. We employ innovative recruitment methods to help you recruit dedicated and passionate candidates from all over the world. With our expertise, you can help those in need effectively and securely.

Foreign companies can either set up a local entity in each country or use the services a local PEO (Professional Employment Organization) to hire the staff on-site directly.
The employer of record is the legal entity liable for the staff employed in a specific country. In practice, a foreign company can either open a subsidiary to become the employer of record of its abroad employees or use a PEO to act as the employer of record.
In general, 1-month is necessary to have an employee based out abroad using an existing PEO as the employe of record. When incorporating a new subsidiary to be the employer of record, the delay varies from 4-12 months.
