Country fit & local delivery

Identity scope

The legal notice names ES BI KO EAD behind Sb Accounting & Consulting. The Bulgarian EOR page offers formal employment for EU/non-EU clients without a local entity, with the client controlling daily work. Separate foreign-employer and umbrella services have different employer/client roles and are not assumed equivalent to EOR. A secondary matching-domain company listing gives UIC 131295891; no official commercial extract or current licence was independently verified.

Research finding · Sources

Onboarding immigration

EOR and employer services cover local contracts and personnel administration, with foreign-employer/umbrella support separately described. No complete nationality/role eligibility, immigration sponsorship, permit price or contractual onboarding timeline was established.

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.

Costs, deposits & currency

Pricing

No numeric EOR fee, deposit/prefund/refund, FX/banking schedule or minimum commitment was published in inspected pages. Three-day e-file implementation wording is not an EOR employee-start promise. Older FAQ examples using 2021/2022 thresholds are not a current quote or current-law verification.

Payroll that works in practice

Payroll money

Payroll and money-movement services describe calculating pay/taxes and handling rejected, stopped or returned bank items without requiring the client to open its own local bank account. Published scope does not establish an agreed funding cutoff, correction SLA, safeguarding arrangement or independently verified payment record.

Support & accountability

Support

Sofia support hours are Monday-Friday 09:00-18:00 with a personal manager. The customer portal offers ticket status, knowledge-base access and 24/7 submission. Always-available ticket software is not proof of 24/7 human cover or a response/resolution SLA.

Review context

Ten Trustburn accounting accounts from December 2022–November 2023 are broadly favourable but provide no confirmed EOR context. Two targeted former-provider-employee accounts are critical: one only says it does not recommend; the longer April 2025 account alleges turnover, poor training, low pay, illness pressure and repeated probation arrangements. These are unverified affiliated reports, not EOR buyer failure rates; no provider reply was visible. Generic AI directory text mentioning UK/HMRC was not attributed to the Bulgarian provider.

Platforms & integrations

Platform workflows

WebTools describes employer/worker payslips, leave approvals, e-files, payroll input exchange and reporting, with SAML SSO/two-factor options. The published S-leave manual documents mobile/desktop email one-time-code login, sick-note upload and employer/NSSI receipt tracking; an original sick note must still be sent to the employer. Authenticated EOR use, API specs, actual accessibility and uptime were not tested.

Benefits & employee experience

Worker benefits

Employee tools document sick leave, payslips and tax-relief access. They do not establish EOR benefit premiums, complete leave/expense policies or reimbursement timing. Tool availability can depend on the client using the system.

Contracts & responsibility

Contract exit

EOR describes the split between formal employment and client direction, but no current EOR MSA was found for liability caps, worker IP assignment, cancellation/minimum term, severance funding or transfer/fund release. Website copyright and general-guidance disclaimers are not employee IP or EOR contract terms.

Employee data & security

Security assurance

The October 2025 IT security policy states alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and GDPR, authorised access, traceability, risk-based controls, training and incident recovery. About claims ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, cyber cover and professional indemnity up to BGN 1 million. Certificate validity/scope, full insurance wording, payroll DPA/subprocessors and client notification deadlines were not inspected.

Scale partnerships

Published figures of 35+ years, 130 experts, 28,000 payslips and 14,000 e-files are provider claims, not EOR headcount or financial solvency. ADP and Accace Circle relationships concern local delivery/partnerships and do not establish owned EOR entities worldwide. No audited accounts, segregated payroll funds or tested continuity plan was obtained.
