Hassle-Free Expansion

Consumerism is growing in this upper-middle income market, along with development in the electronics, chemicals, services and high-tech sectors, thanks to a highly-educated and well-motivated workforce. Traditional economic strengths still lie in mining for gold and precious gems, oil and petrochemicals, coffee, textile and agriculture.

Colombia has many free trade agreements on the global economic front, including with the US and European Union. It is a member of the Pacific Alliance trading bloc, among other regional trade organisations, such as Mercosur. Colombia’s geographical location in the northwest of South America adds to its trading potential. There is a Caribbean coastline to the north leading to the Atlantic, a Pacific coast to the west, and the land border with Panama is the route to Central and North America. Colombia also has land borders with Brazil, the region’s leading economy, and Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.

But each market brings in new challenges. These can be worked through efficiently and cost-effectively with the support of an international Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) such as Bradford Jacobs, primarily through our Employer of Record (EOR) framework. This can be best utilised when businesses are just beginning their expansion process and require more information before incorporating an entity and fully establishing themselves in that market.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

As an EOR we conclude an agreement with both you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce and are responsible for taxes, labour laws, and other local regulations that might be unfamiliar to you now. Your company maintains control over the working relationship, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities of your employee.

Our EOR services in Colombia offer our global entity network to companies considering expansion. We become your international employees’ Employer of Record, meaning that we take full responsibility for your employees’:

  • Labour contracts
  • Compliance with Colombian laws
  • Tax contributions (if applicable)
  • Payroll

As an Employer Of Record, we conclude an agreement with you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce. Your company maintains control over your employees’ working relationships, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities.

The greatest benefit of using an EOR is probably that there is no necessity for you to set-up an entity in Colombia. This process can take months and during this period, it is unlikely that you have legal resources to pay your employees in Colombia resulting in a considerable delay in your global expansion plans.

Global expansion is an exciting step that often leads to a growing and successful business, but the red tape in a new country can be demotivating and frustrating. Imagine a way to globally expand your business without red tape and at low costs: that is what working with an EOR can do for you.

By letting us take care of the hard part, you can focus on the great part: expand your business into Colombia. These are the aspects we can take away from you:

  • Registering with the tax and social security office.
  • Immerse yourself in the local laws, customs, and regulations.
  • Get familiar with local labour benefits and other contract-related customs.
  • Approach potential employees and make them an offer.
  • Setting up the Payroll system compliantly.
  • Submitting wage tax returns and national insurance forms.
  • Staying up-to-date and compliant with changes in local regulations.
  • Worrying about whether or not you are working compliantly with all laws, restrictions, and regulations.
