FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to set up an entity with International PEO?
While establishing an entity may be advantageous under certain circumstances, you do not need to set up an entity to compliantly establish a presence in foreign markets with International PEO.

- Navigating country-specific complexities and requirements
- Communicating with local governments to save you time and resources
- Maintaining compliance with local regulations
- Preparing monthly and annual financial statements, reports, taxes, payroll, and statutory returns—ensuring each aligns with local requirements
How long does it take to set up an entity?
The time it takes to establish an entity varies, depending on several factors. On average, you can expect the process to take 3-4 months before you can begin operating in your new market(s). This timeframe often increases exponentially due to delays in banking, filing errors, and other administrative tasks.
What ongoing work is necessary to support/maintain an entity?
To ensure you’re meeting all corporate compliance regulations, you need a team of local accountants, HR personnel, lawyers, and payroll specialists.
Why should I hire someone to help with entity setup?
