Expanding your team internationally means choosing between a holding entity, an Employer of Record (EOR), or a contractor model. Here is how to structure it - and which entity to form first.

We provide a guide to engaging a third-party EOR provider (e.g. Deel, Remote, Oyster) using your newly formed entity as the client entity.
An EOR is a third-party company that employs workers on behalf of your business in a country where you don't have a registered entity. The EOR handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and local labour law compliance. You direct the work; the EOR is the legal employer. EOR is a good option for 1–2 hires in a new country - for larger teams, a local subsidiary is more cost-effective.
Most EOR providers (Deel, Remote, Oyster, etc.) do not require you to have a company in the employee's country - that is the point of EOR. However, you do need a legal entity somewhere as the 'client entity' that signs the EOR agreement and pays invoices. We help you form that entity.
Misclassifying employees as contractors (known as 'IR35' in the UK or 'worker misclassification' in the US) can result in back taxes, penalties, and employment claims. The risk is highest when the relationship looks like employment (fixed hours, single client, tools provided). Consult a labour lawyer in the worker's country before committing to a structure.
A UK Ltd is widely used for paying international contractors because UK entities are familiar to European and global contractors and provide a clear invoicing relationship. A US LLC works well for US and USD-billing arrangements. Singapore is preferred for South-East Asian contractor relationships.
