How it works

From first call to first payroll

Typical timeline: [X–Y] weeks, depending on market and setup model.

  1. Assess

    We map your target market's labour law, employment costs and visa quotas against your hiring plan.

  2. Set up

    Entity or Employer of Record, labour file, social insurance registration, and bilingual contracts and policies.

  3. Hire

    Recruit, onboard and secure visas for your first team, including the local nationals your quotas require.

  4. Run & stay compliant

    Monthly payroll, visa renewals, audits and end-of-service calculations, so nothing lapses as you grow.

Compliance

Gulf labour rules change often. Your compliance shouldn't slip.

Each GCC country runs its own localization targets, wage systems and social insurance rules. We track them for you and flag what changes before it costs you.
