Can You Run Payroll For Foreign African Teams Without Setting Up An Office In The Local Country?

ABC Company, a clearing, and forwarding company, has its HQ in Kenya. Having done an exceptional job for the last ten years delivering cargo safely for their clients all over Africa, ABC feels it is time for expansion to Ghana.


They want to send two of their employees to Ghana to oversee their new office. It is an exciting time in the company.


Moving to a new country means that ABC will have to get work permits for the two employees. They will have to familiarize themselves with the labor laws in Ghana. Meaning their expansion can take months, if not years, which will cost them a hefty amount of money.


Well, ABC wouldn't have to set up an office locally, saving them costs associated with setting up, getting licenses, and any miscellaneous amounts.


How? With a partner that lets them focus on their employee engagement and core business.
