A word from our customers
Join customers who trust Remote to transform their business.
“Remote is regarded as a leading, trusted partner in this field. Their specialist support for local payroll, tax compliance and HR operations has simplified our workflows and unlocked additional opportunities for global growth and success.”
“Had we been required to manage and co-ordinate every aspect in-house, our costs would have risen by more than $500,000 USD per year. Remote removes that fiscal pressure and lifts the operational workload from us, allowing the team to concentrate on expanding the business with confidence and efficiency.”
“Each month, twice a month and on an hourly basis we process payroll in multiple currencies worldwide, and our Finance Manager has consolidated visibility on a single platform. With Remote, that is possible.”
We engage 460+ Contractors across the globe. I would otherwise need to hire 5 or 6 full-time staff just to manage compliance, administration and payroll. Remote has clearly saved us both time and money.

Frequently asked questions
Choosing the correct provider for HR, payroll and global employment is one of the most important decisions a startup will make. Pick a platform that reduces complexity, supports your international objectives and protects the business from risk. Ask the following:
Does the provider deliver both HR and payroll within one system?
Can they support employees and contractors across multiple countries?
Do they operate their own legal entities, or do they rely on third parties?
What protections are provided for IP and invention rights?
Is the platform compliant with global labour laws and tax regulations?
How straightforward is it to onboard, pay and manage your team?
Is equity, benefits or relocation support included?
Do they provide pricing, support and tools that suit startups?
A suitable partner will scale alongside you – from your first international hire through to your next fundraise and beyond.
In short: because not outsourcing HR often costs startups more. Small, fast-growing companies cannot afford the time or resources required to run every HR function internally. That is not to say startups should not have HR leaders — strong HR is essential when scaling beyond a certain point. Yet building a full HR team to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, compliance and stock options rarely makes financial or operational sense when specialist services exist for startups.
Even the largest enterprises outsource many HR functions. Hiring in a new country? An employer of record is one form of outsourced HR that can help. Running a compensation review? There are firms and tools for that, too. For startups, where resources are best directed at the company’s core mission, outsourcing HR services is often the most pragmatic choice.
Outsourcing payroll lets startups save time, reallocate budget to mission-critical priorities, and ensure a consistent employee experience. Missed payroll or faulty benefits can stall a team’s momentum. While employees want to build something great, they also expect to be paid on time, access health cover, save for retirement and take leave. Managing these functions internally consumes leaders’ time and can create friction if something goes wrong.
By outsourcing payroll, startups can remove a time-consuming and sensitive task while significantly reducing payroll errors and employee frustration. Which scenario is more likely to succeed: a team constantly resolving pay issues, or a team receiving reliable deposits and focused on the company’s objectives?
Of course, every company and situation is unique. That is why startups should review all the reasons to outsource payroll before choosing a direction or a specific provider.
