Employer of Record Services
Employ people in more than 150 countries without setting up a company abroad
Carter Bond’s EOR, employer of record service lets you hire full-time staff in more than 150 countries without the need for a local entity. A new employee can be onboarded in as little as a day. You manage their work, and we handle the local contract, visas, payroll, tax and benefits, with one UK contact and one invoice.
Why use an Employer of Record solution
Opening a company in another country means months of registrations, a local accountant, a lawyer and a bank account before anyone gets paid. For one or two hires, it rarely makes sense. With an employer of record, you do not need to register anything abroad.

1 day

Employer of Record FAQs
What is an employer of record?
A service that employs staff for you in another country, so you can hire there without setting up a company.
Who is the legal employer?
A locally registered employer in your employee’s country, so the contract meets local law. You direct their work. Your agreement, support and invoice are all with Carter Bond.
How quickly can someone start?
Onboarding can take as little as a day once the contract is signed. Local notice periods and right-to-work checks can add time.
Do employees get local benefits?
Yes. Every employee gets the statutory benefits their country requires, and you can add optional benefits on top.
How much does an employer of record cost?
It depends on the country and the salary. We send a full cost breakdown after a short call.
