Consider it for

Digital teams seeking managed hiring in Perpetum’s specified European, Indian and Colombian markets.

Main trade-off

The operative agreement is unavailable, so marketing cannot establish enforceable exit, IP or liability terms.

Country fit & local delivery

June2026 privacy policy expressly names South Gate Tech EOOD trading as Perpetum at Betahaus Business Park,Sofia. This supplies a provider-stated operator identity, not a current official register extract or full local-employer map. Founder history and Beetroot’s2022 South Gate Tech transaction remain historical; present Beetroot ownership of Perpetum is not established.

Offering scope

Perpetum offers EOR separately from recruitment, staff augmentation, contractor services and Build-Operate-Transfer. EOR covers a client-selected employee, employment documentation, payroll and statutory administration. It markets Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, Poland, Colombia and India, with a focus on digital roles. Do not count its separate service lines or historical South Gate Tech operation as new competitors.

Delivery entities

Colombia and India are explicitly delivered through local partners. Both guides promise one Perpetum account manager, contract and invoice, but do not name the legal employer. The inspected primary pages do not establish an owned-entity map for all five European markets. Employsome claims Bulgarian ownership, an unverified Romanian owned entity and other partner markets; these remain leads until legal names and registrations are checked.

Platform gaps

The inspected service-led offer describes consolidated administration and billing. No public demonstrated employer dashboard, employee portal, local-partner portal arrangement, API, HRIS integration, granular permissions, reporting export or uptime commitment was found. A hiring-cost calculator is a sales tool, not evidence of an operational HR platform.

Contracts & responsibility

The hiring guide says clients manage work while the EOR holds employment and payroll responsibilities. Country guides discuss worker IP clauses, including explicit Indian work-product provisions and separate treatment of pre-existing IP. No executed contract chain from worker through employer to customer, liability cap, indemnity, insurance schedule or local partner agreement was inspected.
