ubiquePick the situation. We have done it a few thousand times.
Most international hiring questions fall into five patterns. Each one has a different legal answer, a different timeline and a different cost. Start with the one that matches your week.
1,200 customers, from 10 to 2,000 employees, in 160 countries.
Five situations, five answers
Each page explains what the law expects, what Ubique does, how long it takes and what it costs. No sales call needed to read them.
Expand into new markets
Hire a first sales lead or an engineering pod in a new country before you decide whether an entity is worth it. Includes a side-by-side cost comparison.
Convert contractors to employees
Reduce misclassification risk and keep the people you rely on. A conversion takes one afternoon, and the person gets a pension, paid leave and a payslip.
Hire a candidate who is relocating
Your best candidate lives somewhere else and wants to move. Ubique sponsors visas and handles immigration in around 30 countries.
Keep an employee who moves abroad
Someone good is leaving the country, not the company. Transfer them to a local contract with no gap in employment and no permanent establishment surprise.
M&A and entity wind-down
Carve-outs, acquisitions and entity closures leave employees in limbo. Move them to Ubique in weeks, or to VEO in Germany and Spain, and close the entity cleanly.

The right plan depends on how many people you employ, not how big your ambition is
A three-person startup and a 1,500-person enterprise both hire abroad. They should not be sold the same thing.
Startups
First international hires. Start on Contractor Management at £29 a month and move to Employer of Record when the role is permanent. We are honest about when £499 is too much.
20 to 500 employeesScale-ups
Multi-country growth with a small People team. A named account manager from 10 employees, HiBob, BambooHR and Personio integrations, and equity for EOR employees.
500 to 2,000 employeesEnterprise
A mix of your own entities and EOR in one dashboard. Global Payroll, SSO and role-based access, SOC 2 Type II, dedicated SLAs and a procurement pack ready to download.
Whatever the situation, three things hold
- We tell you who employs the person. In 40 countries it is a Ubique entity with our own payroll team. Elsewhere it is a vetted partner, and the country page says so.
- The contract is local and current. Ubique's legal network in 20 countries track statutory changes and push them to your dashboard with effective dates.
- You keep management. You set the salary, the role and the day-to-day. Ubique handles employment law, payroll, contributions and benefits.
