Advantages of Partnering with a PEO for Expansion

Remain Legally Secure in Every Way

Dealing with an unfamiliar legal system can be tricky, and you will be prone to making more mistakes and having to pay costly fines. A PEO has an experienced legal team that will keep you and your employees compliant with all local labor and employment laws.

Decrease Excess Spending

With a PEO partner you don’t need to waste resources on hiring any other outsourcing services; a PEO provides all the support you need, from recruitment and onboarding to payroll and taxes.

More Time to Focus on Market Goals

Having a PEO partner means you don’t have to worry about administrative details and can devote your time towards tasks only you can do.

Set Up Faster and Easier

Expanding with company incorporation can take months or even a year. A PEO can have you up and running within just a few days.

All Expansion Needs at One Point of Contact

A PEO is your one-stop for everything you need to enter a new market speedily and safely.

Entering a Market Swiftly: PEO or Company Incorporation?

Expanding via traditional company incorporation involves setting up your own branch or subsidiary. This means a lengthy and often complicated process that can take months to complete. On the other hand with a PEO you can enter new markets and set up within a week. A PEO acts as the legal entity so that you can enter new countries promptly and professionally.

Having a PEO partner also means: 

  • Reduced set up time
  • Less time and money spent
  • A legal team that is on hand at all times
  • Connections to local businesses and talent pools

PEO and EOR: Are They the Same? What’s the Difference?

You may often see a PEO and EOR mentioned together, and while they do provide similar services, they are not identical. It’s important for you to understand how they operate so that you can make the right choice about which one to partner with.

  • A PEO and EOR are both companies that offer services to employees of other companies. These services include, but are not limited to, employee recruitment, onboarding, payroll and taxes, etc.
  • One crucial difference is an EOR is the legal employer of any employees it hires. The EOR is also responsible for the employees and any possible liabilities.
  • In a PEO, the contract is between the company and the employee.
  • In an EOR, the contract is overseen by the company but officially made between the Employer Of Record and the employee.
