Serbian Professional Employer Organization

With a market-based economy of constant development and forward motion, Serbia can be an incubator for growth and profits. Expanding into Serbia using our PEO service provides you with a hassle-free start in Serbia without the need to set up your own Serbian entity.

Serbia is one of the few countries that managed to create economic growth despite the pandemic. The country has suffered a history of economic setbacks, but also experienced fruitful developments, and innovations. Serbia’s economy relies mostly on the service sector with state-owned enterprises in key industries.

Serbia is not yet part of the EU but holds close ties with its main trading partners Germany, Russia, China, Bosnia, and Italy. With a market-based economy and progress in prospect, Serbia offers great opportunities for global expansion.

Your business is not like any other and we get that. Your international plans require solutions that match with these plans, your goals, and your business strategy. Therefore, our PEO services provide a consultative approach and a tailor-made solution because we know one size does not fit all.

A PEO works with Employer of Record (EOR) agencies. This agency can function as the employer of your new workforce. Our EOR agencies in Serbia enable you to operate staff in-country without worrying about HR (Human Resource) services, tax, payroll, hiring, firing, or adapting to changes in local regulations and employment laws. The EOR will take on these tasks and will be fully responsible. The daily workflow and tasks of your new workforce will be completely under your guidance. Although we function as your employee’s legal employer, he or she performs tasks for your business as a part of your team. This is how our process can work for you:
