ubiqueWe run 40 countries ourselves. Partners make the other 120 work.
Ubique employs in 160 countries. In 120 of them, a vetted local partner holds the entity and runs payroll under our contract, our platform and our audits. If you are that partner, a broker, an adviser or a software company, this page is for you.
Hold the entity. We bring the clients, the platform and the standard.
A local employment partner is a licensed employer in its country that employs team members on behalf of Ubique clients. You run the contract, the payroll and the statutory filings. We run the client relationship, the dashboard the employee and the client use, the pricing, and compliance monitoring.
We are honest with clients that partner-served countries have slightly longer timelines. We are equally honest with partners: we expect the same payslip accuracy and the same response times as our own teams, and we check.
Vetting criteria
- Licensed to employ and run payroll in the country, with at least three years of operating history.
- Minimum 50 active employees under management and audited financial statements for the last two years.
- Named payroll and HR contacts who respond in English within one business day.
- Data protection controls that pass our security questionnaire, including encryption and access logging.
- No regulatory sanctions, unresolved labour disputes or late statutory filings in the last three years.
- Agreement to our modern slavery, anti-bribery and employee treatment standards, with a signed partner code.
Quarterly audits
Every partner is audited four times a year: a sample of payslips reconciled against the platform, filings checked against the local calendar, and a survey sent to the employees you look after. Two failed audits in a row and we move the country.
What you get
Clients you did not have to find, a platform you did not have to build, and payment of salary funding in advance so you never carry a client's payroll on your own balance sheet.
What we pay
A fixed monthly fee per employee, agreed by country, paid on the same day the client pays us. We do not undercut the fee to win a client and then ask you to absorb it.
Countries we are looking for
We are actively recruiting partners in West Africa, Central Asia and the Caribbean, and a second partner in Brazil, India and the Philippines for capacity.
Local health, pension and life cover for the people we employ
Ubique does not sell insurance. Our clients add local benefits through partner brokers who know the market. We integrate your plans into the dashboard so the employee enrols in one place.
What we need from a broker
Regulated in the country, group plans available from one employee, enrolment within 10 business days, and a single point of contact for claims questions from the employee.
How it works commercially
The client pays the premium through their Ubique invoice. You keep your standard commission. We charge the client no mark-up on benefits and we say so on the pricing page.
Where we have gaps
We have brokers in 60 countries. We are looking for pension and health partners in Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and Latin America outside Brazil and Mexico.
Accountants, law firms and investors: refer a client, share the revenue
If you advise companies that are hiring abroad, you already answer the question "can we just employ someone in Spain?" several times a month. Refer them to Ubique and we pay you a share of the fees for the first 24 months.
- Accountancy and law firms: 15% of Ubique fees for 24 months on every client you refer. Co-branded country guides for your clients. A named contact at Ubique for technical questions.
- VC and PE firms: portfolio pricing on Employer of Record and Contractor Management, a quarterly hiring-cost report across the portfolio, and a slot at your portfolio People Ops days. Revenue share available if you prefer.
- Independent consultants and fractional People leads: 10% for 12 months, paid quarterly.
Revenue share is on Ubique fees only, never on salary or contributions. It is paid when the client pays, and stops if the client leaves.
Tracked, not trusted
Every referral gets a link and a code. You see the status of each lead in a partner view of the dashboard. No arguments about who introduced whom.
Honest with your clients
We will tell your client if a country is partner-served, if we are expensive for a team of three, or if PEO would suit them better than EOR. Your reputation rides on ours.
Paid quarterly
Statements on the first business day of each quarter, payment within 30 days, in GBP, EUR or USD.
Build an integration, reach 1,200 companies

Finance
Payroll journals, invoices and expenses pushed to the ledger. Current partners include Xero, QuickBooks and NetSuite.
Identity

Anything else
Webhooks and a REST API with sandbox keys. Generic connectors through Merge for tools we have not built for yet.
