What is Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO)?

GEMO sets up and runs your own legal entity in 100+ countries on the same platform as Teamed EOR. Teamed models the crossover proactively, sets up the entity, and migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding. GEMO: 100+ countries.

Does Globalization Partners sell entity setup or crossover modelling?

G-P sells no entity-setup or crossover-modelling product (verified 2026-06-17). It publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content but positions EOR as the long-term model. Teamed's GEMO sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries, models the crossover proactively, and migrates staff with no re-onboarding.

How does Teamed compare to G-P on pricing?

Teamed: $599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, published on teamed.global/pricing. G-P: quote only (verified 2026-06-17). For a company modelling EOR and entity costs before engaging sales, published pricing has real practical value.

What is G-P's support model compared to Teamed's?

G-P Core: AI-led support (G-P Assist). G-P Prime: dedicated CSM and direct HR and legal team access (higher tier, verified 2026-06-17). Teamed: direct expert access on every plan, no AI wall, no tier gate. Teamed G2 4.8; G-P 4.4.

Is Globalization Partners a real EOR, and how big is its footprint?

Yes. G-P is a top-tier global EOR: 180+ countries, over 100 owned entities, the large majority of operations owned, a larger owned footprint than Teamed's 57 within 187+. Both are real EORs. Teamed's edge is the managed EOR-to-your-own-entity lifecycle (GEMO), published pricing, FX at zero markup, and the honest read on when to graduate.

When does it make sense to move from EOR to your own entity?

Below roughly 10 to 15 FTEs in most European markets, EOR is more cost-effective. Above that, fixed entity costs often undercut per-seat EOR fees. Teamed models the crossover proactively. GEMO sets up the entity in 100+ countries on the same system, no re-onboarding. G-P sells no equivalent.

Teamed vs Globalization Partners

Teamed vs Globalization Partners, from EOR to your own entity

Both are real, established EORs. Globalization Partners is a top-tier global platform with a larger owned-entity footprint and deeper enterprise self-serve. Teamed is a focused global employment system that sells the managed step G-P does not: a path from EOR to your own entity. It leads on published pricing, cost clarity and advice on the right model wherever you start. Choose on whether platform depth and owned footprint beat the lifecycle and the clarity.

Teamed on G2

Who Teamed is for

Teamed is built for rapidly growing companies with an international footprint that want a clear path from EOR to their own entity, published pricing they can model before a sales call, and real HR and legal experts they can reach. If you are hiring across several countries and expect to own entities in your key markets eventually, that lifecycle is the fit.

Not the right fit if

Large enterprises planning to stay on EOR long-term. Look at Globalization Partners itself. Its Meridian Suite and enterprise account model are built for scale, and GEMO lifecycle planning adds little if entity setup is not on your roadmap.
Teams that want the deepest platform self-serve and pre-built HRIS integrations. G-P, with Gia AI guidance and named connectors, or Deel and Rippling, run more feature-rich platforms. Teamed connects to the tools you already run rather than replacing them.
A single-market, low-headcount test with no entities on the horizon. The most self-serve tool will be fastest to first payroll. Teamed earns its keep once the complexity is real and an entity roadmap is in view.

What is the Teamed vs Globalization Partners comparison?

An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your people in a country through its own entity or a vetted local partner. It issues the contract, runs payroll, remits income tax and statutory contributions, and carries the employer obligations while you direct the work. Teamed and Globalization Partners are both established EORs that do this at global scale.

The difference is what happens after EOR. Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) extends the relationship into a managed lifecycle: once headcount in a country justifies it, Teamed sets up and runs your own legal entity in 100+ countries on the same platform, with no re-onboarding of existing EOR staff, and it models the crossover point per country proactively. The EOR fee is $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month, flat, with FX absorbed at zero markup and the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference on every invoice.

Globalization Partners is a top-tier global EOR with real strengths of its own. It markets 180+ countries, runs its own entities in over 100 of them, and delivers the large majority of its operations through owned entities, a larger owned-entity footprint than Teamed's 57 within 187+ total coverage. It runs a deep enterprise platform in the Meridian Suite, with Gia AI guidance and pre-built HRIS integrations. What G-P does not sell is a product that sets up and runs your own entity: it publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content, but positions the EOR as the long-term operating model rather than a staging post to your own entity.

Every EOR delivers through a mix of owned entities and vetted local partners, both of these included. What differs is the share, and which of your countries fall on each side. Teamed publishes its owned-versus-partner split so you can see which side each of your markets sits on, and backs it with in-country compliance through its own entities, DLA Piper as global counsel, and the best in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. G-P does not publish a clean per-country split, so ask that question per country, not per brand.

Pricing

Teamed publishes $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month, flat, on teamed.global/pricing, and itemises everything around the fee. FX is absorbed at zero markup, with the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference, and the deposit and exit terms are set out before you sign. G-P is quote-only, with no public per-employee figure, so the number arrives after a sales process and the FX terms are not published. For a company modelling EOR and entity costs before engaging sales, that difference is practical, not cosmetic.

Model both on the same basis. Ask G-P for the quote, the FX terms and the deposit in writing, and compare against Teamed's published fee and itemised invoice, not a headline.

Support

Access to a real person is where Teamed leads. It puts HR and legal experts on every plan, with no tier to unlock. G-P's Core plan runs support through G-P Assist, its AI guidance tool; a dedicated CSM, quarterly reviews and direct access to G-P's HR and legal teams sit at the Prime tier. Behind Teamed's people sits Ted, a proactive layer that handles the routine, flags law changes and the crossover point, and learns from patterns across customers. Real people approve every outcome. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2, G-P 4.4.

What the system does for you	Ted handles the routine, flags law changes and the crossover point, and learns across customers. People approve every outcome.	Gia AI provides in-product guidance, reactive by design.

On a hard case

The test is the contested exit or the tax notice, not the average ticket. Ask which tier puts a real employment-law expert on your account, and what the escalation path looks like.

Platform and coverage

This is where G-P leads. Its Meridian Suite is a deep enterprise platform, with Gia AI guidance, pre-built HRIS integrations and structured self-serve onboarding. Its footprint is larger on owned entities too: G-P markets 180+ countries and runs its own entities in over 100 of them, with the large majority of operations owned, against Teamed's 57 owned entities within 187+ total coverage. Teamed is a focused, advisory-led platform by design. It connects to the HRIS and payroll you already run rather than asking you to move into a new system. If you want the deepest self-serve product or the largest owned footprint, G-P is the stronger answer.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
Platform shape	Focused, advisory-led. Connects to the tools you already run rather than replacing them.	Meridian Suite: enterprise platform, Gia AI guidance, pre-built HRIS integrations, self-serve onboarding.

Name the systems you run

Teamed connects to the tools you already use rather than replacing them. Tell both your stack, and ask what connects today, not what is on a roadmap.

Compliance

Every EOR runs on a mix of owned entities and vetted in-country partners, both of these included. What differs is whether you can see the structure. G-P has the larger owned footprint, over 100 entities, but does not publish a clean per-country owned-versus-partner split. Teamed publishes its split, 57 owned entities within 187+ countries, and backs it with in-country compliance through its own entities, DLA Piper as global counsel, and the best in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer is not always an owned entity. Sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth. Ask per country which model stands behind your markets.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
How compliance is delivered	Own entities, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners on top. The owned-versus-partner split is published.	Owned entities in over 100 countries plus vetted partners. Per-country split not published.
Depth on the hard cases	Real HR and legal experts with local employment-law experience handle contested terminations, consultations and audits directly.	In-country HR and legal expertise across a 180+ country network. Ask whether a given country is owned or partner-served, and who stands behind a contested case.

Ask what's behind the flag

A coverage map is a list of countries. For each one you hire in, ask whether the employer is an entity the provider owns or an in-country partner, and who handles it when a case gets difficult.

Your own entity

EOR is a stage, not the destination, and this is Teamed's wedge. Teamed advises you on the right model wherever you start, models the crossover per country, and tells you when your own entity beats EOR. Then GEMO sets up and runs that entity in 100+ countries on the same platform, and migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding. G-P is a strong EOR, but it does not sell an entity-setup product. It publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content, yet positions the EOR as the long-term operating model. If your three-year plan includes owning entities in key markets, that difference matters from day one of the relationship.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
When to move	Models the crossover month per country and tells you when your own entity beats EOR.	Publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content, but no per-country modelling product.
Making the move	GEMO builds and runs your entity in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees.	No entity-setup product. You would need a separate provider or in-house legal resource for that step.

Ask before you sign

Ask whether your provider will tell you when to move to your own entity, and whether it can build and run it on the same system. Advice you get before you need it beats a guide you find afterward.

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
Planning the full lifecycle from EOR to entity	If your organisation plans to own entities in key markets eventually, ask each EOR provider how it handles that transition. Teamed models the crossover month, sets up the entity via GEMO in 100+ countries, and migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding. G-P does not sell an entity-setup product, so you would need a separate provider or in-house legal resource for that step alongside G-P.	EOR fees compound. At $599 per employee per month, 20 employees cost $143,760 per year. The crossover to a local entity can cut that materially once headcount justifies it. Teamed models that inflection point proactively; G-P publishes break-even content but no per-country model. If you are building a three-year headcount plan, the entity option belongs in the model from day one.	Migrating from EOR to entity usually means new contracts, a new payroll cycle, and an employee communication plan. Teamed's GEMO migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding, so disruption is minimal. Moving from G-P EOR to a separate entity-setup provider would mean a full migration across two vendors.	Employment data held across two separate providers, one for EOR and one for entity, creates two audit trails to reconcile. Teamed's single-system approach keeps employment records consistent across the full lifecycle.
FX and cost transparency before you sign	Ask any EOR provider for the FX terms in writing before signing. Teamed shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference and absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee. G-P does not publish its FX terms, so request them explicitly and get them in writing before any commercial discussion.	An undisclosed conversion spread sits in the industry's typical range and can add real, unmodelled cost per employee per year. Teamed's zero-markup policy removes that variable. G-P does not publish its FX terms, so the number stays off your forecast until the contract.	An itemised FX line on every salary invoice means no surprise reconciliation at year-end. Your team sees a clear record of what was paid and why the numbers moved month to month.	A timestamped applied rate shown against a public mid-market reference is an auditable payroll record. An undisclosed conversion spread leaves a gap in the payroll audit trail that surfaces during any review.
Support when something goes wrong	A contested termination, a consultation, or a tax authority notice needs a real employment-law expert, not a platform escalation. G-P's Core plan routes base support through G-P Assist; direct HR and legal team access is a Prime feature. Ask which tier you are on and what the escalation path looks like before you commit.	G-P's support is tiered: AI on Core, human on Prime. Teamed provides direct access to real HR and legal experts on every plan, with no tier gate. If a compliance escalation costs your finance team a day, the support model has a real cost that belongs in your total cost of ownership.	You want a real person when it matters, not a ticket queue or an AI resolution flow. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2, G-P 4.4. That gap reflects what happens when people need help and reach someone with the right knowledge.	Incident handling, data questions and compliance escalations all need a direct escalation contact who knows your account. Know before you sign whether you are on the AI plan or the human plan, and what the response commitment looks like.

How Teamed GEMO works, from first EOR hire to owned entity

GEMO isn't a separate product you bolt on later. It's built into the same platform as EOR from day one. Teamed models the crossover point, builds the entity plan, and migrates your existing team with no re-onboarding overhead.

Step 1
Start with EOR at published rates
Hire on EOR via Teamed from day one. The fee is $599 per employee per month, flat, published on teamed.global/pricing. FX is absorbed at zero markup on every invoice. Real HR and legal experts handle onboarding, payroll, and compliance questions as your headcount grows.
Step 2
Model the crossover point per country
Teamed tracks headcount and salary mix per country and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper than EOR. The model runs proactively, not on request. When the numbers shift in a given market, you hear about it first, with a country-level breakdown.
Step 3
Set up your entity via GEMO
Once the crossover makes sense, GEMO sets up your legal entity in the relevant country. Coverage spans 100+ countries. Teamed handles registration, directorship where required, local employment-law compliance, and ongoing employment operations on the same platform.
Step 4
Migrate existing EOR staff, no re-onboarding
Existing EOR employees transfer to the new entity on the same platform. No new system, no new vendor relationship, no re-onboarding process. Your team sees a change of employing entity on their payslip. The payroll calendar, benefits structure, and employment records carry over intact.

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 out of reach 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.

Honest take

When Globalization Partners is the better choice

Stay with G-P if you are a large enterprise with hundreds of international employees and no plans to set up your own entities. Its Meridian Suite and enterprise account model are built for scale, and GEMO lifecycle planning adds little if entity setup is not on your roadmap.
Stay with G-P if your team needs the broadest platform self-serve depth and pre-built HRIS integration coverage. Meridian Suite with Gia AI guidance and named connectors (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, UKG and others) is a more feature-rich platform than Teamed's focused, advisory-led approach.
Stay with G-P if you want the largest owned-entity footprint and an established global EOR with brand recognition in large procurement. G-P runs its own entities in over 100 countries, more than Teamed's 57.

Teamed leads on the EOR-to-entity lifecycle, pricing transparency, FX zero-markup absorption, cost clarity, and direct expert access on every plan. G-P leads on platform breadth, owned-entity footprint, and brand recognition in large enterprise procurement. If your strategy is EOR as the long-term model and you want enterprise-grade platform self-serve, G-P is the stronger fit. We would rather say that than win a deal that is wrong for both sides.

Questions to ask any EOR before you sign

1Which countries are in GEMO coverage, and is my specific market available for entity setup?
2What happens to existing EOR employees' contracts when we migrate to our own entity via GEMO?
3How does each provider model the crossover point from EOR to your own entity, and how often does that update as headcount grows?
4What deposit or pre-funding is required, and which setup, onboarding, offboarding or early-exit fees are in the contract? Read it line by line before signing.
5When I need a real employment-law answer, do I reach a person with the right credentials, or does the query route to an AI assistant first?

Frequently asked questions

What is Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO)?
Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) is Teamed's product for setting up and running your own legal entity in 100+ countries, on the same platform as EOR. When your headcount in a country reaches the point where your own entity is cheaper than EOR, Teamed models that crossover proactively and can then set up and run the entity. Existing EOR employees migrate with no re-onboarding and no new vendor relationship. One thing to confirm when scoping: GEMO covers 100+ countries, so check availability for your specific target market.
Does Globalization Partners sell entity setup or crossover modelling?
G-P does not sell an own-entity setup or crossover-modelling product (verified 2026-06-17 at globalization-partners.com). It publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content, so it does help you think about the decision, but it positions the EOR as the long-term operating model rather than a path to your own entity. Teamed goes the other way: GEMO sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries on the same platform, models the crossover per country proactively, and migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding. If your three-year plan includes owning entities in key markets, that is a structural difference from day one.
How does Teamed compare to G-P on pricing?
Teamed publishes $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month on teamed.global/pricing. G-P does not publish EOR pricing; all fees are available only on application via a custom quote (verified 2026-06-17 at globalization-partners.com). The difference matters for growing companies that need to model EOR and entity costs before a commercial process. A Teamed-based headcount and lifecycle budget builds in a spreadsheet with no sales call. With G-P, the engagement starts before the number appears.
What is G-P's support model compared to Teamed's?
G-P provides 24/7 AI-led support via G-P Assist on its Core plan. Direct access to G-P's HR and legal teams, a dedicated Customer Success Manager, and quarterly account reviews are G-P EOR Prime features (verified 2026-06-17 at globalization-partners.com/eor-prime/). Teamed provides direct access to real HR and legal experts on every plan. There is no AI wall and no plan-tier gate on expert access. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2 for service; G-P is rated 4.4.
Is Globalization Partners a real EOR, and how big is its footprint?
Yes. Globalization Partners is a top-tier global EOR and one of the largest in the category. It markets 180+ countries and runs its own legal entities in over 100 of them, delivering the large majority of its operations through owned entities, a larger owned-entity footprint than Teamed's 57 within 187+ total coverage. It also runs a deep enterprise platform in the Meridian Suite, with Gia AI guidance and pre-built HRIS integrations. Teamed and G-P are both real EORs doing the same core job. The difference is the lifecycle: Teamed sells a managed path from EOR to your own entity through GEMO, with published pricing, FX at zero markup, and cost clarity, plus an honest read on when EOR stops being the right model. G-P positions EOR as the long-term operating model and sells no entity-setup product.
When does it make sense to move from EOR to your own entity?
The crossover depends on headcount and salary mix per country. In most European markets, EOR is more cost-effective below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees. Above that, the cumulative per-seat EOR fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover proactively and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up the entity in 100+ countries on the same system with no re-onboarding. G-P sells no entity-setup product; if you reach that inflection point on G-P, you need a separate solution.

Common questions

What is the difference between Teamed GEMO and Globalization Partners for entity setup?
Both Teamed and G-P are real, established EORs. The difference is what happens after EOR. Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up and runs your own legal entity in 100+ countries on the same platform as EOR, with proactive per-country crossover modelling and no re-onboarding of existing staff. G-P does not sell an own-entity setup or crossover-modelling product; it publishes EOR-versus-entity break-even content but positions the EOR as the long-term operating model. For a rapidly growing company with a plan to own key-market entities, Teamed's GEMO pathway is the structural fit. G-P is the stronger choice for a large enterprise that plans to stay on EOR and values the Meridian Suite platform depth, the enterprise account model, and one of the largest owned-entity footprints in the category.
Is Globalization Partners a good EOR, and where does it beat Teamed?
Yes. G-P is a top-tier global EOR and one of the largest in the category, and it genuinely beats Teamed on several fronts. It markets 180+ countries and runs its own entities in over 100 of them, with the large majority of operations owned, a larger owned-entity footprint than Teamed's 57 within 187+ total coverage. Its Meridian Suite is a deeper enterprise platform, with Gia AI guidance and pre-built HRIS integrations and more self-serve depth than Teamed's focused, advisory-led approach. Teamed beats G-P on pricing transparency ($599 published versus quote-only), cost clarity (every line itemised, FX at zero markup shown against the mid-market reference), direct expert access on every plan, and the managed EOR-to-your-own-entity lifecycle through GEMO. Choose on whether platform depth and owned footprint beat cost clarity and the lifecycle.
