What is entity setup?

You've proven the market. Now it's time to own it.

Setting up a local entity means incorporating a subsidiary in your target country and employing staff directly through it. You become the local employer and own full control over how the employment relationship is structured.
‍
It's the right move eventually, once you have stable headcount and a long-term commitment to a market. But the process is complex, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong without local expertise.
‍
Fronted handles the incorporation, the ongoing compliance, and the transition from EOR, so you can focus on the business.

Why use Fronted's Entity Setup?

Fast incorporation

Most entity setups take 4–9 months. Fronted gets it done in 2–3, with local expertise and no unnecessary back-and-forth.

No disruption to your team

We transfer your existing EOR employees to the new entity seamlessly. This means no re-onboarding, no gaps in payroll, no contract restarts.

One point of accountability

Fronted operates its own entities in all markets where we work. No third-party subcontractors. No accountability gaps. One partner who owns the whole thing.

Ongoing operations included

We don't just set it up and hand it over. We run the payroll, accounting, and compliance so you're not suddenly managing a foreign subsidiary alone.

When to use entity setup vs EOR

Use Entity Setup if you:

Have stable headcount of 11+ people in one country

Want full control over local benefits and employer brand

Are committed to the market long-term

Want to move away from monthly EOR fees at scale

Stay on EOR if you:

Are still making your first 1–10 hires in a new market

Need speed and are still testing the market

Don't yet have stable, long-term headcount in one country

Want to keep operational overhead low while you grow
