Why move
Why companies set up their own entity in Kansas
Once your Kansas headcount is stable and you plan to stay, running your own entity usually costs less over time than paying per-employee EOR fees indefinitely. It also gives you a local legal presence, direct control over benefits design, and a Kansas corporate identity that clients and hires can see.
The decision is not just about headcount. It depends on salary levels, how long you intend to operate in Kansas, and how much administrative work you are ready to take on internally. Teamed's crossover calculator models this for your specific numbers rather than a generic rule of thumb.
The transition
How the switch actually works
The move happens in a fixed sequence, not all at once. Teamed forms the Kansas entity first, registers it with the state, and sets up the tax and payroll accounts it needs before a single employee moves.
Once the entity is live, employees transfer onto it on a set date, with contracts, benefits, and payroll continuity preserved. Teamed runs both structures in parallel during the handoff so payroll never skips a cycle, then steps back once the entity is fully operational.
Kansas specifics
What Kansas requires from a new entity
Registering a business entity with the Kansas Secretary of State carries a filing fee of $85. That is a one-time cost tied to formation, separate from the ongoing tax obligations the entity takes on once it is employing people directly.
On the tax side, Kansas applies a corporate income tax rate of 3.5%, with an additional surcharge of 3.0% on top of that. Both figures come from Kansas Department of Revenue guidance and should factor into any cost comparison against staying on an EOR.
The honest take
When an EOR is still the right call
An employer of record is sometimes the better answer, not a lesser one. If your Kansas team is still small or its shape keeps changing, or you are testing whether Kansas is even the right market, staying on EOR keeps you flexible without locking in entity costs early. Talk to a member of the team about where you stand, and run the crossover calculator before committing either way.
GEMO
Your own entity, when it's time. We set it up, migrate you in, and hand it back intact.
Global Entity and Employment Operations, which we call GEMO, is how Teamed builds and hands over entities across 100+ countries. In Kansas, that means we handle formation, registration, and the tax setup, then migrate your employees across without a gap in pay or benefits.
The entity comes back to you fully intact, registered with the Kansas Secretary of State, aligned to the state's corporate income tax and surcharge obligations, and ready to run under your own name from day one.

Contractors, employer of record and your own entity all run on one platform at Teamed, so moving between them later does not mean changing provider or re-onboarding anybody. Real HR and legal experts handle the work rather than a ticket queue.
Talk to a member of the team and we will tell you plainly which one suits where you are. If you would rather look at the numbers yourself first, the crossover calculator models it on local salaries and employer costs rather than on a headcount rule of thumb.

Questions
Common questions about moving off EOR in Kansas
How much does it cost to register a company in Kansas?
The Kansas Secretary of State charges a filing fee of $85 to register a business entity. That fee covers formation only, not the tax accounts or payroll setup the entity needs before it can employ anyone directly.
What corporate taxes will my Kansas entity owe?
Kansas applies a corporate income tax rate of 3.5%, plus an additional surcharge of 3.0%, per Kansas Department of Revenue guidance. Both apply to the entity once it is operating and generating taxable income in the state.
Will employees lose pay or benefits during the switch?
No, Teamed runs the EOR structure and the new Kansas entity in parallel during the handoff. Employees move onto the new entity on a set date with payroll and benefits continuing without interruption.
How do I know if I have enough employees in Kansas to justify my own entity?
There is no fixed headcount rule, it depends on salaries and how long you plan to stay in Kansas. Teamed's crossover calculator compares your actual numbers against ongoing EOR fees so you can decide with real figures, not guesses.
Can I stay on an EOR in Kansas instead of setting up an entity?
Yes, an EOR remains a fair option if your Kansas presence is still small or unsettled, or you are only testing the market. Talk to a member of the team before deciding either way.
