How do you move from EOR to your own entity in Vermont.

Vermont charges a $155 fee to register your entity with the Secretary of State, and once you employ directly, your company owes Vermont's graduated 6.0% to 8.5% corporate income tax on top of federal obligations. Teamed handles the formation, the registration, and the employee handover, so the move happens on a schedule you set, not one forced by a growing headcount.

Your Vermont team probably started small, one or two hires under an employer of record, fast to launch and simple to manage. As headcount grows, or once you commit to Vermont for the long haul, the shape of that arrangement often stops fitting the way it used to.

Teamed builds the exit into the relationship from the start, so moving to your own entity feels like a planned handover rather than a scramble.

The process runs in a fixed order. First, Teamed's GEMO sets up your entity: it covers incorporation, registrations, payroll-readiness and ongoing governance.

Once that foundation is in place, we transfer each employee's contract from Teamed to your entity on an agreed date, matching pay, benefits, and start dates so nobody notices a gap. You keep the same team, the same terms, just under your own name.

Once you employ directly in Vermont, your company becomes liable for the state's corporate income tax at 6.0% to 8.5%, layered on top of federal tax obligations. That liability, and the filings that come with it, previously sat with Teamed as your employer of record.

You also take on Vermont's payroll tax registrations, workers' compensation coverage, and ongoing state filings directly. None of this is unusual for a growing company, but it does mean building out finance and HR capacity that the EOR arrangement had been absorbing for you.

The right time to switch depends on more than how many people you employ. It depends on salary levels, how confident you are in Vermont as a long-term market, and how much internal HR and payroll capacity you're willing to build.

Rather than guess at a headcount trigger, run your numbers through the crossover calculator, or talk to a member of the team about where your Vermont operation sits today.

Someone has to move your people from the EOR onto your own payroll in Vermont, and the right choice depends on how much of the employment side you want handled.

Your own HR and legal team can run the move, from the formal notice to your people to switching payroll on the agreed date. That suits a company that already has that team and has moved people in Vermont before.

A local employment lawyer can advise on how the move works in Vermont and review the employment contracts, but will not run payroll. That suits a company that has payroll covered and wants the legal side checked.

For companies that will employ people in Vermont, Teamed is the best choice. Teamed gives you real HR and legal experts you can reach when it matters, a designated person who has done this before and pricing with no hidden costs. Teamed's Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up and manages entities in 100+ countries, and moves your people across from its EOR when you're ready. Teamed already owns an entity in the United States.

If there is nobody to move yet, you only need the company registered, and the Vermont Secretary of State or a formation agent will do that for less.
