TSA Timelines Are Tight – But We Transition Talent Fast and Flexibly

Cross-border carve-outs often leave acquired talent without a vehicle for employment, posing compliance challenges and talent flight risks. GoGlobal Africa can serve as the legal employer for small, white-collar teams when a local entity setup exceeds deal timelines. This is done through our Employer of Record (EOR) services, which can serve as a temporary bridge or a permanent solution.

Key Benefits of EOR

• Hire rapidly without the need to establish a local entity.
• Ensure compliance with local employment laws.
• While GoGlobal Africa is the legal employer, day-to-day management is overseen by your team.
• Enjoy the flexibility to scale operations internationally.

Important Considerations

• Visa sponsorships may impact the timing and ability to transfer those workers to certain employment vehicles.
• Legal restrictions, such as contract length limits, may apply in some regions.
• Certain business activities and permanent establishment (PE) risks may necessitate a local entity.
