The Global Expansion Group offers the option of utilizing an in-country Professional Employment Organization (PEO). Candidates for the new location are carefully recruited in line with client position specifications and become co-employees of the PEO which is recognized and registered as an ongoing concern in the destination country. Each client operates in its own secure portion of the PEO owned facility. The client company retains all key functions of an employer:

Formulate Job Descriptions
Final Interviews of Pre-Screened Candidates
Final Hiring Decisions
Setting Wage and Benefit Package

The PEO manages all administrative matters including recruitment, strategy, payroll, benefits administration, local tax requirements and compliance matters in order for the client company to operate within local legal and regulatory requirements.

Each state of the art PEO facility offers the client company an attractive secure facility to conduct business and access to a secure IT platform with protocols that provide state of the art communications links while safeguarding the client’s intellectual property and other sensitive data.

The Ramp-up time is minimal with most engagements taking 90 days or less for staff recruitment, hiring and operational start-up. Converting the PEO agreement into a stand alone company subsidiary is uncomplicated as the PEO agreement can be canceled with 90 days notice without penalties or legacy costs.

This option significantly mitigates the risk of operating in emerging markets and allows clients to focus on their core commercial activities while retaining complete ownership of the enterprise. The PEO model has been successfully deployed for US companies seeking to take advantage of alternate cost structures in overseas markets without the IP risks associated with partnering at business process outsourcing firms. Many US companies seeking to establish and grow their market share of products or services in emerging markets around the world have found the PEO model to be superior to creating costly alliances with overseas sales agencies.
