Executive Summary
A fast-scaling SaaS company expanding its engineering, sales, and customer success teams across multiple international markets began experiencing operational drag. Product demand was global, but workforce infrastructure was not.
Entity setup timelines ranged from 3-6 months per country, with upfront incorporation costs between $15,000-$50,000+, depending on jurisdiction. Payroll operated across multiple vendors, and foreign exchange (FX) leakage averaged 2-5% per cycle.
Komp partnered with the organization to enable compliant global hiring without requiring local subsidiaries, long-term lock-ins, or fragmented regional providers.
