How it Works
Blueback Global makes going international easy. The first step is to determine the optimal structure for your expansion. We can function as an Employer of Record (EOR) where your employee is hired through our international entities, or we can help you set up your own entity if you plan on having a larger presence in a country.
Step 1: Determine Structure
Step 2: Contractor vs Employee
EOR allows for you to quickly employ people or manage contractors in another country via Blueback’s established entities. You don’t have to function as the legal employer of your employees and contractors, but you can still oversee payroll and benefits, and enjoy all the perks of having talented people in the countries you need.
Contractor Management Services
No matter where the contractor is working in the world, Blueback can quickly provide administrative and payment support to them via our established entities to ensure your projects can be completed quickly and without HR headaches.
EOR Employees
With an employer of record relationship, your people will have employee status in the country in question. Meanwhile, you get to manage their benefits and working relationship without worrying about an entity or payroll solutions.
Step 3: The EOR Process

Contracts
When you want to add an employee via EOR, you only have to provide the required information to create an employment contract; we take care of the rest. Yes, it is that easy.

Compliance
Work permits, payroll taxes, visa applications, and other legal compliance issues are all managed with no risk to your company.

Onboarding
When bringing on a new employee, they are fully set up with payroll and benefits in a timely, seamless manner.
Step 2: Determine Entity Type
Having an entity in a new country allows for you to quickly employ or contract people. You serve as the legal employer of your employees and contractors just like in your headquarter country.
Subsidiary
Setting up a subsidiary enables you to carry out a wide range of local business activities. This is suitable for a larger footprint and presence.
Simple Entity Registration or Payroll-only
This is easier, less costly, and quicker to set up, but may limit the scope of your business activities.
