Frequently asked questions

• How does Teamed compare to Globalization Partners on pricing?+

  Teamed publishes its fee at $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month on teamed.global/pricing. G-P does not publish pricing; its EOR is quote-only, with two named tiers, Core and Prime, and no per-employee figure on any primary page (verified 2026-06-16 at g-p.com). That difference matters for a rapidly growing company that needs to model EOR costs before starting a commercial process. You can build a Teamed-based headcount budget in a spreadsheet with no sales call. With G-P, the sales conversation is a prerequisite to the number. The point isn't that Teamed is lower. It's that you see the whole cost before you commit.
• What is Ted?+

  Ted is Teamed's AI layer, built into the platform rather than bolted onto the front of it. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once doesn't have to be solved again. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. The intent is that AI gets you to the right expert faster and catches issues while they're small, rather than standing between you and a human. You can always reach a person directly.
• How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?+

  In three layers, and it publishes the structure. First, Teamed's own legal entities, in 57 countries. Second, DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent legal standard across borders. Third, specialist in-country partners on top, where a jurisdiction needs local depth. Owning an entity is the floor, not the whole job. And the best answer isn't always an owned entity: sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth. Teamed shows you which model stands behind each country. G-P states it runs over 100 legal entities but doesn't publish a clean owned-only country count, so you can't tell from its site whether a given country is served by an owned entity or a partner.
• How do Teamed and G-P compare on security certifications?+

  This is where G-P leads, and we say so. G-P publishes a deep certification stack on a self-serve trust portal: ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 and 42001, plus SOC 2 Type II, with GDPR and CCPA alignment. Teamed's controls and processes are in place and it is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned, with accreditation in progress, so the certificate isn't issued yet. If your security review needs the badge in hand today, that favours G-P. Ask both for their current reports and dates, and weigh it against the dimensions where Teamed leads: cost clarity, human support and advice on the right model.
• When should I move from EOR to my own entity?+

  The crossover point depends on headcount and salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover per country and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. It then builds and runs the entity in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees. G-P positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities and publishes no crossover-modelling tool. Wherever you start, Teamed advises you on the model that fits.
• Is G-P built for rapidly growing companies or large enterprise?+

  G-P's model is calibrated for large enterprise. Its Meridian Suite, enterprise account structure, and custom-quote pricing process are built for companies with hundreds of international employees and established procurement functions. That is a genuine strength at scale. Rapidly growing companies (typically 5 to 200 international employees) often find that the overhead, the quote-only pricing and the enterprise onboarding add friction their stage doesn't warrant. Teamed is built specifically for that growth phase: published pricing, direct expert access on every plan, and advice on the right model that tells you when EOR no longer makes sense.
• Can I switch from G-P to Teamed?+

  Yes. Most EOR contracts carry a notice period, typically 30 to 90 days. The harder part is the operational cutover: contract migration, payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, and employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or one cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained and employees see no gap in service. Bring your current G-P agreement and headcount list, and Teamed maps the earliest clean cutover date and the line-by-line numbers on the same basis. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.

• Teamed vs Globalization Partners, which is better for a rapidly growing company?+

  It depends which of two buyers you are. G-P is the enterprise pioneer: the deepest owned-entity network, the Meridian suite, and a broad published certification stack. If enterprise scale or certification depth decides it, or you have hundreds of international hires and a formal procurement function, G-P is the stronger answer. Teamed is $599 flat and a focused global employment system: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run. It leads on cost clarity (every line itemised, FX at zero markup shown against the mid-market reference, deposit and exit terms set out before you sign), support (real HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier to unlock), in-country compliance you can see (own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners, structure published), and advice on the right model wherever you start. For a company at the 5 to 200 employee stage that wants employment run properly by people it can reach, Teamed is the stronger fit.
• Does Globalization Partners publish its EOR pricing?+

  No. G-P does not publish EOR pricing on its website. Its EOR is quote-only, with two named tiers, Core and Prime, and no per-employee figure on any primary page (verified 2026-06-16 at g-p.com). This contrasts with Teamed, which publishes $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month on teamed.global/pricing, and with Deel and Remote, which also publish headline rates. G-P's custom-quote model reflects its enterprise positioning: fees vary by country mix, salary levels, volume and contract terms rather than a single published rate. For a company that needs to model EOR costs before beginning a commercial process, that is a meaningful friction point. Ask G-P for a full written fee schedule, including FX terms, before any commercial discussion.
