Finland holds considerable allure for global businesses interested in expanding their operations in Europe and beyond. Yet, setting up a permanent in-country business structure may not be the most practical choice for companies in the initial stages of probing the commercial environment in Finland. Even if ultimate plans do involve establishing a permanent presence, a preliminary, on-the-ground team could be instrumental in smoothing the path for successful business operations before formal incorporation.
What Does a Global Employer of Record Do?
A Global Employer of Record (Global EOR) is a third-party organization that takes on the role of a legal employer for a company’s employees in foreign countries, including Finland. It allows the company to hire local and international talent without forming a separate business entity within Finland. The Global EOR is responsible for handling a wide range of legal, administrative, and human resource functions, including but not limited to payroll management, tax compliance, administering employment benefits, and creating legally compliant employment contracts.
