Country fit & local delivery

Offering model

Provider offers EOR/PEO with legal employment through an in-country entity and claims 140+ countries. Global payroll and payments are separate services; an in-country entity statement is not proof of owned entities in every country. Exact employing entity, local partner and role eligibility remain quote-specific.

Research finding · Sources
Checked 2026-09-16

No private quote, signed EOR contract, outreach or operational trial. Provider claims are not independent delivery verification. Search absence does not prove absence of incidents.

Implementation

Payroll workflow: named manager, document review, local tax registration, dual-language agreements, monthly input request, employer report approval, home-currency funding request, distribution after receipt, payslips and tax filings. Pricing quotes EOR setup 1–2 weeks and payroll 3–4 weeks, while payroll copy says within one week; indicative and potentially different scopes, with no signed start-date guarantee.

Costs, deposits & currency

Price basis

Published starting prices are £299 per run for EOR, £149 per run for payroll and £1 each for payments. Do not convert per-run figures to per-employee monthly prices. Actual fees vary by country; setup, off-cycle and exit fee schedules are not fully specified. No minimum employee count is advertised.

Cash FX

Payroll is funded before salary and tax distribution, in the client home currency after approval. Global Payments advertises near-real-time FX and no fees while pricing lists payments from £1 each; applicability and FX spread/benchmark need a written quote. EOR reserve amount, ring-fencing, interest and refund deadline were not located.

Support

Reviews

All 21 available Trustpilot accounts read across two most-recent pages: 20 five-star and one four-star. Mostly payroll responsiveness; no unambiguous EOR-specific buyer. Accounts include Canada, Australia/Europe and a US CFO managing UK subsidiary payroll. Most dates cluster in June 2026; Nadine/Jacob wording strongly overlaps, so distinct IDs are not independent incident counts. Mihaela describes initial concerns followed by supportive help, without a detailed unresolved payroll incident. No provider responses visible.

Security

Privacy content appears under Cookie Policy: UK Microsoft data centres, transport/rest encryption, unique credentials, complex passwords, folder access controls, revocation, logging and staff training are claimed. Local payroll/payment partners may receive data overseas with safeguards described generally.
