How the choice works
EOR or your own entity in New Hampshire
An employer of record lets you hire in New Hampshire without registering a business there yourself. Teamed becomes the legal employer on paper, handles payroll and compliance, and you keep managing the person's day-to-day work.
Setting up your own entity means registering with the New Hampshire Secretary of State, paying the formation fee, and taking on ongoing state tax filings yourself. It gives you full control, but it adds paperwork and cost before you have hired a single person.
Costs and filings
What New Hampshire charges once you have an entity
New Hampshire's Secretary of State charges a formation or registration fee of $100 to set up your entity. That is a one-time cost, but it lands before you have signed a single employment contract.
Once you are operating, New Hampshire taxes corporate income at 7.5%, plus an additional surcharge of 0.55%, according to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration. Those obligations apply every year your entity exists, regardless of headcount, so a small team can carry a similar compliance load to a large one.
Honest advice
When an EOR is the better call
An employer of record is sometimes simply the right answer, not a fallback, especially for a small or still-changing team, or when you are testing whether New Hampshire is even the right market. Talk to a member of the team about your specific plan, or run the numbers through the crossover calculator, since the right call depends on salaries and how long you intend to stay.
Your own entity, later
Your own entity, when it's time. We set it up, migrate you in, and hand it back intact.
Teamed's Global Entity and Employment Operations service, which we call GEMO, builds you a real entity when the time is right and moves your team into it without breaking their contracts or benefits. We run this across 100+ countries, so the same team handles the move wherever you are hiring.
In New Hampshire, that means Teamed registers your entity with the Secretary of State, takes on the $100 formation fee as part of the process, and walks you through the ongoing 7.5% corporate income tax and 0.55% surcharge before handing control over. You get a functioning, compliant entity, not a folder of forms to figure out on your own.
Before you commit
Sometimes an employer of record is the better fit

Talk to a member of the team about your specific plan, or run the numbers through the crossover calculator, since the right call depends on salaries and how long you intend to stay.
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.
