Frequently Asked Questions
Why should an SME use an Employer of Record in Africa?
An Employer of Record allows SMEs to onboard employees in African countries without establishing a local legal entity. This reduces the cost, time and administrative burden of expansion while ensuring employment and payroll remain compliant with local legislation.
Is an Employer of Record affordable for small and medium-sized businesses?
