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

GEMO sets up and runs your own legal entity in 90+ 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: 90+ countries. Entity Formation: 100+. Two distinct products.

Does Globalization Partners offer entity setup or crossover modelling?

No. G-P does not offer own-entity setup or crossover modelling (verified 2026-06-17). It positions EOR as the long-term model, not a path to your own entity. G-P supports moving employees INTO its EOR from a local entity, not the reverse.

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, direct HR/legal team access (higher tier, verified 2026-06-17). Teamed: direct expert access on all plans, no AI wall, no tier gate. Teamed G2: 4.8. G-P G2: 4.4 (approx. 1,028 reviews).

Do both Teamed and G-P own their German entity?

Yes, both own their German entity. Teamed issues contracts from a Teamed GmbH and has real HR and legal experts for Betriebsrat and KSchG matters. G-P also operates its own German entity and markets in-country HR and legal expertise.

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 90+ countries on the same system, no re-onboarding. G-P offers no equivalent.

Teamed on G2

What is Teamed vs Globalization Partners GEMO?

An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your staff in a country through its own entity or a vetted local partner, handling payroll, tax remittances, and employer obligations. Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) extends that into a full lifecycle product: once headcount justifies it, Teamed sets up and runs your own legal entity in 90+ countries on the same platform, with no re-onboarding of existing EOR staff. The EOR fee is $599 per employee per month, flat, with FX absorbed at zero markup on every invoice.

Globalization Partners does not offer an own-entity setup or crossover-modelling product. Its model positions the EOR as a long-term operating structure, not a staging post to your own entity. G-P published content shows it supporting the reverse: helping companies move employees from a local entity into the G-P EOR. For companies planning to own key-market entities eventually, that strategic difference matters from day one of the provider relationship.

Attribute	Teamed	Globalization Partners
EOR fee	$599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, flat. Published on teamed.global/pricing.	Not published. All pricing on application via a custom quote from globalization-partners.com.
FX on salary conversions	Zero markup. Applied rate shown against mid-market reference on every invoice.	Not published. FX methodology not disclosed on the G-P website. Request FX terms in writing before signing.
Entity setup (EOR to own entity)	Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO): sets up and runs your own entity in 90+ countries. EOR employees migrate to GEMO with no re-onboarding. Crossover modelling is proactive and standard.	Not offered. G-P positions EOR as the long-term operating structure, not a stepping stone to your own entity.
Crossover modelling	Proactive. Teamed models the month your own entity gets cheaper than EOR, per country, as a standard part of the advisory relationship.	Not offered. G-P publishes no crossover-modelling product or per-country advisory on the EOR-to-entity inflection point.
Human support access	Direct access to real HR and legal experts on all plans. No AI bot wall, no ticket queue, no tier gate.	G-P EOR Core: 24/7 AI support via G-P Assist. Dedicated CSM, quarterly reviews, and direct HR/legal team access are G-P EOR Prime features (higher tier).
German entity	Teamed operates through its own German entity. Real HR and legal experts handle Betriebsrat (Works Council) and KSchG matters directly.	G-P operates through its own German entity as part of its owned-entity-led network across 180+ countries.
Platform posture	Advisory-led. Plugs into your existing HRIS stack. Does not try to be your system of record.	G-P Meridian Suite: enterprise platform with 13+ HRIS integrations, in-product compliance tooling (G-P Gia AI guidance), and structured self-serve onboarding.
Audience fit	Built for rapidly growing companies with an international footprint. Published $599 fee, no minimum headcount, full lifecycle from first contractor to owned entity.	Calibrated for large enterprise. Custom pricing reflects enterprise scale. EOR is positioned as a long-term model, not a staging post.

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 your EOR provider how they handle that transition. Teamed models the crossover month, sets up the entity via GEMO in 90+ countries, and migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding. G-P does not offer entity setup. You'd 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 to a fraction once headcount justifies it. Teamed models that inflection point proactively; G-P does not. If you're building a three-year headcount plan, the entity option belongs in that model from day one.	Migrating from EOR to entity typically means new contracts, a new payroll cycle, and an employee communication plan. Teamed's GEMO migrates existing EOR staff with no re-onboarding, so the disruption to your team is minimal. A switch 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, one for entity) creates two audit trails to reconcile. Teamed's single-system approach keeps employment data 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 FX terms on its website; request them explicitly before any commercial discussion and get them in writing.	On a $190,000 gross salary, an undisclosed FX spread in the 1.5 to 3% industry range means $2,850 to $5,700 per year per employee of unmodelled cost. Teamed's zero-markup policy removes that variable entirely. G-P does not publish FX terms, so that 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, readable record of what they were 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 FX spread creates a gap in your payroll audit trail that surfaces during any review.
Support when something goes wrong	A contested termination, a Works Council question, or a tax authority notice needs a real employment-law expert, not a platform escalation. G-P EOR Core routes base support through G-P Assist (AI); direct HR and legal team access is a G-P Prime feature. Ask which tier you're 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 all plans, with no tier gate. If a compliance escalation costs your finance team a day of time, 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. That rating reflects what happens when people needed help and got it from 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're 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 90+ 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.

Choose Teamed if you need to model EOR costs before a sales call. Teamed publishes $599 per employee per month on teamed.global/pricing. G-P does not publish pricing; a custom quote is required before you see a number.

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. G-P's Meridian Suite and enterprise account model are built for scale at that level. GEMO lifecycle planning adds no value if entity setup isn't on your roadmap.
Stay with G-P if your organisation has an established procurement relationship at the G-P Prime tier. Direct CSM access, quarterly reviews, and direct HR and legal team access at Prime make G-P a strong enterprise EOR choice when the right tier is funded.
Stay with G-P if your team needs the broadest platform self-serve depth and pre-built HRIS integration coverage. G-P Meridian Suite with G-P Gia AI guidance and 13+ named connectors (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, UKG, and others) is a more feature-rich platform than Teamed's advisory-led approach.

Teamed leads the EOR-to-entity lifecycle, pricing transparency, FX zero-markup absorption, and direct expert access on all plans. G-P leads on enterprise platform depth, Meridian Suite self-serve breadth, and brand recognition in large procurement. If your strategy is EOR-as-destination and you need enterprise-grade platform self-serve, G-P is a stronger fit.

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 a client's own legal entity in 90+ countries, on the same platform as EOR. When your headcount in a given country reaches the point where your own entity is cheaper than EOR, Teamed models that crossover proactively and can then set up and operate the entity. Existing EOR employees migrate to the new entity with no re-onboarding and no new vendor relationship. One thing to note: GEMO covers 90+ countries; a separate Entity Formation tier covers 100+. The two are distinct products, so confirm which applies to your target country when scoping the engagement.
Does Globalization Partners offer entity setup or crossover modelling?
No. G-P does not offer an own-entity setup or crossover-modelling product (verified 2026-06-17 at globalization-partners.com). Its published content positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities. G-P does provide support for companies transitioning employees FROM a local entity INTO the G-P EOR, but it does not offer the reverse: helping you build your own entity as you grow through EOR. If your three-year plan includes owning your entity in key markets, you would need a separate provider or in-house legal resource for that step alongside G-P.
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 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 all plans. There is no AI bot wall and no plan-tier gate on expert access. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2 for service. G-P is rated 4.4 on G2 across approximately 1,028 reviews.
Do both Teamed and G-P own their German entity?
Yes. Both Teamed and G-P operate through their own German employing entity. Your German employee's contract issues from a Teamed GmbH rather than a local partner. Teamed has real HR and legal experts with German employment-law credentials who handle Betriebsrat (Works Council) consultations, Kuendigungsschutzgesetz (KSchG) terminations, and Works Agreements. Germany is a market where jurisdictional depth matters: Works Council law (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) and strict termination protection create requirements that go beyond a standard platform flow. G-P also operates its own German entity and markets in-country HR and legal expertise across its 180+ network.
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 90+ countries on the same system with no re-onboarding. G-P does not offer entity setup or crossover modelling; 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?
Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up and runs your own legal entity in 90+ countries on the same platform as EOR, with proactive crossover modelling and no re-onboarding of existing staff. G-P does not offer own-entity setup or crossover modelling. G-P's model positions EOR as a long-term operating structure; Teamed's model treats EOR as a staging post to your own entity. 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 right choice for large enterprise that plans to remain on EOR and values the Meridian Suite platform depth and enterprise account model.
Does Globalization Partners offer a GEMO equivalent product?
No. GEMO is Teamed's product name for Global Entity & Employment Operations. G-P does not offer an equivalent product. G-P positions its EOR as the long-term model and does not publish an entity-setup or crossover-modelling offering. It does support the reverse transition: helping companies move employees from a local entity into the G-P EOR. Teamed's GEMO goes the other direction: from EOR to your own entity, on the same system, with proactive crossover modelling included as standard.
