Are you ready to expand your business into Colombia without the red tape of local incorporation or hiring headaches? Discover how partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR) like 2Centric in Colombia can unlock fast, compliant, cost-effective global hiring, without the complexity.
What Is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party entity that legally hires and pays employees on behalf of a company, while managing payroll, taxes, labor law compliance, and employee benefits. You control your team’s day-to-day activities; the EOR handles local employment’s legal and administrative responsibilities.
In short, an EOR is your shortcut to global expansion, without needing to establish a legal entity in each country.
Why Use an EOR in Colombia?
Colombia is a fast-growing economy with a highly skilled, bilingual workforce. However, navigating local employment laws, tax regulations, and HR processes can be overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the legal landscape.
That’s where an EOR in Colombia becomes your strategic partner. Here’s how it helps:
