“Setting up a local entity was too expensive for our small team. Their staff outsourcing model allowed us to test the Kenyan market at a fraction of the cost. It’s been a game-changer for our Africa expansion strategy.”
Daniel M., COO, Fintech Startup

“What impressed me most was the personal support. We had one dedicated point of contact who guided us through onboarding, payroll, and even relocation for our expatriates. It felt like having an in-house HR team in Kenya.”
Sarah P., Head of People, European Consultancy

“We started with just two employees in Nairobi. Today, we have a team of 20—all seamlessly managed by their EOR service. Scaling up was stress-free, and we didn’t have to change our setup or worry about compliance.”
Alex N., Expansion Director, Logistics Company

“We were able to set up operations in Kenya within weeks thanks to their EOR services. The team handled everything from contracts to payroll, leaving us free to focus on our business. Without them, we’d still be stuck in paperwork.”
