How long does it take to switch from Velocity Global to Teamed?

Most switches complete in four to six weeks once the plan is agreed. The paperwork is quick; the work is the operational plan, payroll calendar, benefits continuity, employee comms, data handover and exit timing. Teamed runs it in phases, one country or cohort at a time, so the overlap is contained.

Will my employees lose pay or benefits during the switch?

No. Teamed maps the payroll calendar per country and times the cutover between pay runs, so no run is missed or doubled. Benefits cover is lined up before the switch date so there is no lapse, and data is ported in a clean handover. People see the new payslip before the first cycle.

Velocity Global's published rate is $399. Teamed is $599. Why switch?

The sticker difference is real. Velocity Global's $399/month is lower than Teamed's $599/month. The value case for switching is FX transparency (Teamed shows the rate at zero markup), human-first support (real experts on every plan, no AI routing), and a proactive entity path via GEMO. If those are not your priorities, staying on Velocity Global is the honest call.

Does Velocity Global (Pebl) publish its FX rate or spread?

No. As of June 2026, Velocity Global (Pebl) publishes no exchange rate, spread or conversion mechanism on its own pricing pages. Teamed shows the applied rate against mid-market at zero markup on every invoice.

What notice period do I need to give Velocity Global?

Most EOR contracts carry 30 to 90 days of notice, but your specific MSA governs. Teamed reads the MSA, maps the exit timeline, and times the handover to avoid a double-billing overlap. Check your own MSA for the exact terms.

What deposit and fees does Teamed charge to start?

Teamed takes a refundable deposit of one month of salary to start, standard for the EOR model. No onboarding or offboarding fees, though an early-exit fee may apply if you leave within the first 3 months, set out in the contract. Costs sit up front. Read any contract line by line.

Velocity Global holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Does Teamed?

Velocity Global holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2. Teamed is aligned and working towards both. If a current cert is a hard procurement gate, that is an honest reason to stay on Velocity Global or look at G-P or Deel.

Does Velocity Global offer a path to your own managed entity?

No. Velocity Global (Pebl) positions EOR as an alternative to owning an entity and publishes no crossover modelling or entity-transition service. Teamed models the crossover and sets up and manages your own entity via GEMO in 90+ countries with no re-onboarding.

Velocity Global vs Teamed

Switching from Velocity Global to Teamed

You have decided to leave Velocity Global, now trading as Pebl. This is the playbook for the move. Most switches complete in four to six weeks, and the operational plan is what takes the time, not the paperwork. Teamed reads your current MSA, maps the notice period (usually 30 to 90 days), aligns the payroll calendar so nobody misses a pay run, keeps benefits continuous, drafts the employee communications, ports the data, and runs the cutover one country or cohort at a time.

What is switching EOR provider, Velocity Global to Teamed?

Switching Employer of Record (EOR) provider means moving the legal employment of your international team from one provider's entity or partner network to another's, without your people losing pay, benefits or continuity along the way. The EOR is the legal employer in-country: it issues the contract, runs payroll, remits income tax and statutory contributions, and carries the local employer obligations while you direct the work. A switch re-papers that employment under the new provider and re-points the payroll, so the operational sequencing matters more than the signature.

Velocity Global, which rebranded to Pebl in September 2025, reaches 185+ countries through a mix of 65 owned entities and a partner network, and positions its flat $399/month rate and AI-first platform as the reasons to stay. Teams that leave tend to leave over three things: an FX line that is nowhere on the invoice, support that routes through an AI assistant before reaching a human, and no proactive path off EOR when the model no longer fits. The paperwork is quick. The work is the plan: payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, employee communications, data portability, and a phased cutover one country or cohort at a time. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.

Why teams leave Velocity Global and what to expect on the move

Teams that leave Velocity Global (now Pebl) tend to leave over three things. First, an FX line that is simply absent from the invoice: Pebl publishes no exchange rate, spread or currency-conversion mechanism on any primary page, and the all-in USD fee means conversion costs are in the payroll figure, not shown separately. Second, a support model that leads with an AI assistant (Alfie) and routes to a human specialist only when the AI determines expertise is needed. Third, no proactive path off EOR: Pebl frames EOR as an alternative to owning an entity rather than a stepping stone to one. Expecting the switch to be slow and painful is the usual fear. In practice the paperwork is quick, the plan is the work, and most moves complete in four to six weeks.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
The usual triggers	FX built into the USD payroll figure and not shown separately, an AI-first support model routing to humans when the AI decides, and no proactive entity path when EOR no longer fits.	FX shown against mid-market at zero markup, a real HR or legal expert on every plan, and proactive crossover modelling into GEMO for the entity transition.
What to expect on timing	Most EOR contracts carry 30 to 90 days of notice; check your Velocity Global MSA for the exact terms.	Most switches complete in four to six weeks once the plan is agreed. Phased per country or cohort, so the overlap is contained.
What to expect for your people	A re-papering of employment and a re-pointed payroll under the new provider.	New compliant contracts, a payslip with FX shown against mid-market, and no gap in pay or benefits.

The honest price question

Velocity Global's published sticker price ($399/month) is lower than Teamed's ($599/month). That is a real difference and we would rather say it plainly. The value case for switching is on the FX line, the support model, and the entity path, not the headline fee. If those three things matter more to you than the sticker, the switch makes sense. If the sticker is the primary driver, staying is the honest call.

Mapping the payroll calendar so nobody misses a payday

The single biggest risk in any EOR switch is a missed or doubled pay run. It is also the easiest to prevent with planning. Teamed maps your current Velocity Global pay cycle in each country, picks the cutover date that lands cleanly between runs, and confirms who pays which cycle so there is never a gap and never an overlap. Nothing moves until the calendar is agreed and signed off.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
Pay-cycle mapping	Your existing Velocity Global run dates per country, the baseline for the plan.	Cutover timed to land between runs in each country, with a confirmed handover of which provider pays which cycle.
Risk handled	A missed or doubled pay run if the timing is not planned.	No gap and no overlap. The handover date is fixed and agreed before anything moves.
Control	Notice timing read from your Velocity Global MSA.	Maker-checker sign-off on the calendar before the first run moves.

Why this comes first

Pay is the one thing your people notice immediately. Get the calendar right and the rest of the switch is administrative. Get it wrong and a missed run undoes the goodwill of the whole move, so Teamed fixes the dates before anything else moves.

Keeping benefits continuous and porting the data cleanly

When employment moves, benefits cover and the employee record have to move with it without a lapse. Teamed maps the statutory and supplementary benefits in each country, lines up equivalent cover under the new contracts, and ports the employee and payroll data in a clean handover so history is not lost. Continuity is the test: your people should keep their cover, their record and their entitlements through the change.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
Benefits continuity	Existing statutory plus supplementary benefits under the Velocity Global contracts.	Equivalent cover lined up under the new contracts before the switch date so there is no lapse.
Data portability	Employee and payroll records held in the Velocity Global Global Work Platform.	A clean handover of the employee and payroll data, so history, entitlements and continuity carry over.
Employee experience	A self-service portal via the Global Work Platform, with Alfie AI support on day-to-day queries.	A payslip with FX shown against mid-market and a real person to call when something is unclear.

Continuity is the standard

A switch should be invisible to your people on the things that matter: their pay arrives, their cover holds, their record is intact. Teamed plans the benefits and the data handover to that standard, not just the contract change.

Employee communications, so the change reads as an upgrade

Your people hear "we are changing your legal employer" and worry. Clear communication turns that into a non-event. Teamed drafts the employee-facing messaging with you, explains what changes and what does not, issues the new contracts with time to read them, and shows the new payslip structure before the first pay cycle. The goal is that an employee receives the change, understands it, and signs without anxiety.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
Messaging	A change-of-employer notice your people receive.	Plain-English communications drafted with you, explaining what changes and what stays the same.
New contracts	Termination of the Velocity Global employment on the agreed date.	New compliant contracts issued with time to read, no re-onboarding overhead.
Payslip preview	The previous Velocity Global payslip structure, without a separate FX line.	The new payslip shown before the first cycle, with FX against mid-market visible.

What good comms prevent

Most anxiety in an EOR switch comes from silence. When your people know what is changing, when, and that their pay and benefits are protected, the switch lands as an upgrade rather than a disruption.

Running a phased cutover, country by country or cohort by cohort

A big-bang switch across every country at once concentrates the risk on a single date. Teamed runs the cutover in phases: one country or one employee cohort at a time, with a contained overlap, so a problem in one market never cascades across your whole payroll. You sequence the markets, agree the plan, and each phase only moves once the one before it has landed cleanly.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
Sequencing	All countries employed through Velocity Global today.	A sequenced plan: the simplest or most urgent markets first, then the rest, one phase at a time.
Overlap	A single cutover date concentrates the risk.	A contained, deliberate overlap per phase so nobody is unpaid and nothing is doubled.
Sign-off	Your decision to move.	Maker-checker approval on each phase before it executes; nothing moves without your sign-off.

Why phased beats big-bang

Phasing turns one high-stakes date into a series of low-stakes ones. If a market throws up a surprise, it is contained to that phase and the rest of your payroll is untouched.

What the FX line looks like before and after the switch

The FX line is the clearest practical difference between the two providers. Velocity Global (Pebl) prices in USD and publishes no exchange rate, spread or conversion mechanism on any primary page: the terms 'FX', 'exchange rate', 'currency conversion', 'spread' and 'markup' are all absent from the company's own pricing pages (hellopebl.com/eor-pricing/, verified 2026-06-17). Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee and shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice. You can check it. Most teams find the difference meaningful once they can see it.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
FX visibility	No FX rate, spread or conversion mechanism published on primary pages. USD flat rate with no currency-conversion disclosure.	Applied conversion rate shown against mid-market on every invoice, absorbed at zero markup.
Industry context	Providers that publish no FX rate typically apply an undisclosed margin, commonly in the 1.5 to 3% industry range.	Teamed absorbs the conversion at zero markup; the spread is nil on the fee, shown in writing on every invoice.
Forecastability	Currency-conversion costs are not shown separately, making them harder to forecast and audit.	FX shown against mid-market means the number is forecastable and checkable in the invoice.

How to check your current Velocity Global invoice

Open your most recent invoice. If you can find the exchange rate used on a salary conversion and compare it to the mid-market rate on the same day, the provider is transparent on FX. If the line is absent, the conversion cost is in the payroll figure.

What changes on the support desk, the certifications and the entity path

The reasons you are leaving usually track the things that change most. On support: Teamed puts a real HR or legal expert on every plan with a real escalation contact who knows your account, and no AI routing before reaching a person. Velocity Global leads with Alfie, an AI assistant, routing to a human when the AI determines expertise is needed, backed by 200+ in-country experts. On certifications: Velocity Global holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2; Teamed is aligned and working towards both, and if a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, that is an honest reason to stay or look at G-P or Deel. On the entity path: Teamed models the crossover proactively and can set up and manage your own entity via GEMO in 90+ countries with no re-onboarding. Velocity Global has no published crossover modelling.

Detail	Velocity Global	Teamed
Support access	AI-first via Alfie, routing to a human expert when the AI determines expertise is needed, backed by 200+ in-country experts.	A real HR or legal expert on every plan, no AI routing layer, a real escalation contact who knows your account.
Compliance certifications	ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 held. A genuine case to stay if a current certificate is a hard procurement gate.	ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned, accreditation in progress. Real HR and legal expertise on the same system.
Path to your own entity	No published crossover modelling or entity-transition service. EOR is framed as an alternative to owning an entity.	Proactive crossover modelling. GEMO sets up and manages your own entity in 90+ countries with no re-onboarding.

On certifications, be honest

Velocity Global holds both ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2, which Teamed does not hold today (aligned, in progress). If those certificates are a hard procurement gate rather than a nice-to-have, that is a genuine reason to stay on Velocity Global, and we would rather say so plainly than win a move where certifications are the blocker.

Why the comparison matters

Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.

The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is the comparison worth running.

What each stakeholder evaluates

Criterion	Legal	Finance	People Ops	Security
The cutover plan and timing	Read your current Velocity Global MSA for the notice period and any minimum term before you set a cutover date. Most EOR contracts carry 30 to 90 days of notice. Teamed reads the MSA and maps the exit timeline against it.	A clean cutover avoids a double-billing overlap where you pay both providers for the same month. Teamed times the handover to prevent that. The sticker-price difference ($399 vs $599) should be weighed against the full invoice, including the FX line that Velocity Global does not publish.	Phasing the switch one country or cohort at a time means your team is never managing a whole-payroll migration on a single date. The overlap is contained and planned.	Velocity Global holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2; Teamed is aligned and working towards both. If a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, weigh this before committing to the move.
Pay, benefits and data continuity	Continuity of employment terms, benefits and statutory entitlements has to be preserved across the move. Teamed lines up equivalent cover under the new contracts before the switch date so there is no lapse.	The payroll calendar is mapped per country so there is no missed or doubled pay run. Benefits cover is lined up before the switch date so you are not paying for two sets of cover.	Your people keep their pay date, their cover and their record. The new payslip is shown before the first cycle, with FX against mid-market visible, so there are no surprises.	Employee and payroll data is ported in a clean, documented handover. Ask in writing what data moves, in what format, and who is accountable for it.
What changes after the switch	A real HR or legal expert is on every Teamed plan for the contested terminations and tax-authority questions that need one, with no AI routing before reaching a person.	Teamed shows the FX on every salary conversion against mid-market at zero markup, making the currency-conversion cost forecastable and checkable. Velocity Global does not publish a conversion rate or spread on its pricing pages.	A payslip with FX shown and a real person to call change the day-to-day experience for your team, which drives retention once the switch has landed.	Teamed is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned with accreditation in progress. If a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, that is a reason to pause and weigh the timeline honestly before proceeding.

How switching from Velocity Global to Teamed works

Teams switch because of things they cannot see: an FX line that is nowhere on the invoice, support that routes through an AI assistant before reaching a person, and no proactive signal when the EOR structure no longer fits. Most switches complete in four to six weeks. The operational plan is what takes the time, not the paperwork. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or cohort at a time, so the overlap is contained and your people never see a gap in pay or cover.

Step 1
Bring your current Velocity Global MSA and invoice
Share your current Velocity Global contract and a recent invoice. Teamed reads the notice period and exit terms from the MSA, and unbundles the invoice line by line: gross salary, statutory at cost, platform fee, and the currency-conversion figure. You see what the switch changes and the deadlines you are working to.
Step 2
Map the payroll calendar and the cohorts
Teamed builds the cutover plan per country or per employee cohort: pay-cycle alignment so nobody misses a run, the notice-period timeline, benefits continuity, and the data handover. The simplest or most urgent markets go first. Nothing moves until the plan is agreed and signed off.
Step 3
Communicate, then issue new contracts
Plain-English communications go to your people first, explaining what changes and what stays the same. New compliant contracts then issue under Teamed, and employees see the new payslip structure with FX shown against mid-market before the first pay cycle. No re-onboarding overhead.
Step 4
Run the phased cutover and close Velocity Global
Each phase moves only once the one before it has landed cleanly, with maker-checker sign-off. Teamed manages the Velocity Global termination timeline so you avoid a double-billing overlap. Most switches complete in four to six weeks end to end.

Dyke Yaxley · UK chartered accountancy

100% audit capacity added. Zero entity setup.

Audit capacity in 2024: +100%
Compliance issues across the engagement: 0
South Africa hires, both retained: 2
Entity setup required: None

Challenge

Dyke Yaxley, a UK chartered accountancy with over a century of history, was turning down audit work in 2024. Local UK talent supply for qualified auditors had not kept pace with client demand. Cross-border hiring felt too legally complex for a firm whose brand sits on compliance discipline.

Approach

Dyke Yaxley partnered with Teamed to hire two qualified audit professionals in South Africa via EOR. Teamed handled the South African employment-law side end-to-end: compliant contract, local payroll, statutory tax obligations, and onboarding logistics. No entity setup, no South African legal counsel on retainer, no permanent-establishment exposure.

Result

Both hires exceeded expectations on technical work, client satisfaction, and cultural fit. Audit capacity doubled in 2024. Zero compliance issues across the engagement. The firm went from declining new audit work to confidently taking on additional clients.

Decision checklist

Bring your current Velocity Global MSA first. The notice period and any minimum term set the timeline for the whole switch, so read them before you pick a cutover date.
Map the payroll calendar per country before anything moves. A missed or doubled pay run is the one risk that matters to your people, and it is the easiest to prevent with planning.
Line up benefits continuity and the data handover so cover never lapses and the employee record carries over intact. Continuity is the test of a clean switch.
Communicate with your people before the contracts change. Clear messaging turns a change of legal employer into a non-event rather than a source of anxiety.
Run the cutover in phases, one country or cohort at a time, so a surprise in one market is contained and never cascades across your whole payroll.
Read the new contract line by line. Teamed takes a one-month refundable deposit and may charge an early-exit fee within the first 3 months, costs that sit up front, and you should check every provider in this way.
Stay on Velocity Global if the $399 sticker, the enterprise certifications (ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2) or the depth of the all-in-one platform matter more to you than a readable FX line and human-first support. The honest move is not to switch away from what you need.

Honest take

When staying on Velocity Global is the better call

Stay on Velocity Global if its $399/month published sticker is the primary driver. Teamed's flat rate is $599/month, with FX shown at zero markup and a real expert on every plan. If the headline number matters most, the honest call may be to stay and review the full invoice before deciding.
Stay on Velocity Global if you need ISO/IEC 27001:2022 or SOC 2 Type 2 as a hard procurement gate today. Velocity Global holds both. Teamed is aligned and working towards both, but does not hold them yet. If your procurement team requires a current certificate, Velocity Global, G-P or Deel are the honest choices.
Stay on Velocity Global if you want one of the deeper all-in-one platforms in the category: 250+ integrations across Workday, ADP, BambooHR, HiBob, Oracle and more, with a centralised Global Work Platform as your system of record. Teamed integrates with the major HRISs but does not try to be your central hub.

This is a switching guide, not a hard sell. Teamed leads on FX transparency, human-first support, HRIS fit and proactive entity-path modelling. But if the sticker price, the certifications or the platform depth matter more, staying on Velocity Global is the right call, and we would rather say so plainly than win a move that is wrong for both sides.

Questions to ask any EOR before you sign

1What notice period does my current Velocity Global MSA require, and when is the next clean exit date that avoids a double-billing overlap?
2In each country I employ in, is my employment via a Velocity Global-owned entity or a local partner today, and what changes on the move?
3How will the payroll calendar be aligned per country so nobody misses or doubles a pay run during the cutover?
4How is benefits continuity handled so there is no lapse in cover when contracts move to the new provider?
5Who drafts the employee communications, and what exactly do my people see and sign?
6What employee and payroll data is ported, in what format, and who is accountable for it?
7Can the cutover run one country or one cohort at a time, so any problem is contained and does not cascade across my whole payroll?
8What deposit or pre-funding is required to start, and which setup, offboarding, minimum-term, termination or admin fees are in the new contract? Read it line by line.
9Will I see the applied FX rate on every salary conversion, in writing, against the mid-market reference?
10Who handles a contested termination or a tax-authority question after the switch, and is that on my plan or only a higher tier?
11When my own entity becomes the better structure, will you tell me proactively, and can you set it up and keep managing it?
12Is contractor misclassification cover included by default, or an add-on I have to switch on separately?

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to switch from Velocity Global to Teamed?
Most switches complete in four to six weeks once the plan is agreed. The paperwork is the quick part. The work is the operational plan: aligning the payroll calendar so nobody misses a run, keeping benefits continuous, communicating with your people, porting the data, and timing the exit from Velocity Global against its notice period. Teamed runs the cutover in phases, one country or employee cohort at a time, so the overlap is contained.
Will my employees lose pay or benefits during the switch?
No, that is exactly what the plan prevents. Teamed maps your payroll calendar per country and times the cutover to land cleanly between pay runs, so there is no missed or doubled run. Benefits cover is lined up under the new contracts before the switch date so there is no lapse, and the employee and payroll data is ported in a clean handover so history and entitlements carry over. Your people see the new payslip structure, with FX against mid-market, before the first cycle.
Velocity Global's published rate is $399. Teamed is $599. Why switch?
The sticker difference is real and worth saying plainly. Teamed's $599/month is $200/month per employee more than Velocity Global's $399. The value case for switching is not on the headline fee. It is on the FX line (Teamed shows the applied conversion rate against mid-market at zero markup; Velocity Global publishes none), on the support model (a real HR or legal expert on every Teamed plan versus an AI assistant routing to a human when it determines expertise is needed), and on the entity path (Teamed models when EOR no longer fits and can set up and manage your own entity via GEMO in 90+ countries). If those three things are not your primary concern, staying on Velocity Global is the honest call.
Does Velocity Global (Pebl) publish its FX rate or spread?
No. As of June 2026, Velocity Global (now trading as Pebl) publishes no exchange rate, spread or currency-conversion mechanism on its own pricing pages (hellopebl.com/eor-pricing/, verified 2026-06-17). The company prices in USD, but the terms 'FX', 'exchange rate', 'currency conversion', 'spread' and 'markup' are all absent from the primary pricing pages. Teamed shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee.
What notice period do I need to give Velocity Global?
Most EOR contracts carry a 30 to 90-day notice period, but the exact terms are in your specific MSA. Teamed reads your Velocity Global contract, maps the notice and exit timeline, and times the handover so you avoid a double-billing overlap where you pay both providers for the same month. Check your own MSA for the exact figure before you set a cutover date.
What deposit and fees does Teamed charge to start?
Teamed takes a refundable deposit equal to one month of salary to start an EOR engagement. That is standard for the EOR model, not a Teamed-specific surcharge, and it is refundable. There are no onboarding or offboarding fees, though leaving within the first 3 months may incur an early-exit fee set out in the contract. The point is that the costs sit up front. On any switch, read the new contract line by line.
Velocity Global holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Does Teamed?
Velocity Global holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2. Teamed is aligned with both frameworks and working towards certification. If a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, that is an honest reason to stay on Velocity Global, look at G-P or Deel, or to ask Teamed directly about the timeline. Do not make a decision that breaks a compliance requirement for a provider change.
Does Velocity Global offer a path to your own managed entity?
No, not as a published service. Velocity Global (Pebl) positions EOR as an alternative to establishing your own entity, not a stepping stone to one. The company has no published crossover modelling or entity-transition service (verified hellopebl.com/legal-teams/, 2026-06-17). Teamed takes the opposite approach: it models the crossover proactively per country and can set up and manage your own entity via Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) in 90+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding required.

Common questions

What is the process for switching EOR from Velocity Global to Teamed?
The switch runs in four stages over a typical four to six weeks. First, you bring your Velocity Global MSA and a recent invoice; Teamed reads the notice period and unbundles the costs, including the FX figure not currently visible on the invoice. Second, Teamed maps the payroll calendar per country or cohort, lines up benefits continuity, and plans the data handover, with the simplest or most urgent markets sequenced first. Third, plain-English communications go to your people and new compliant contracts issue under Teamed, with the new payslip and FX shown before the first cycle. Fourth, the cutover runs in phases with maker-checker sign-off, and Teamed manages the Velocity Global termination timeline to avoid a double-billing overlap.
Is it worth switching from Velocity Global to Teamed given the price difference?
Velocity Global's published rate ($399/month) is lower than Teamed's ($599/month). The value case for switching is not on the headline fee. It is on three things harder to see in the invoice: the FX line (Teamed shows the applied rate against mid-market at zero markup; Velocity Global publishes no conversion mechanism), the support model (a real HR or legal expert on every Teamed plan, no AI routing layer), and the entity path (Teamed models when EOR no longer fits and can set up and manage your own entity via GEMO in 90+ countries, no re-onboarding). If those three things matter and the price difference works within your budget, the switch makes sense. If they do not, staying on Velocity Global is the honest call.
