100% owned entity infrastructure
Remote manages all global entities in-house, with no third-party outsourcing.
Mixed ownership model
Oyster operates using a mix of third-party vendors and owned entities.
Consistent global support experience
Remote’s in-country expertise means specialist support in every country we operate in.
Third-party support providers

“We regard Remote as a leading, trusted partner in this field. The expert support they offer in local payroll, tax compliance, and HR operations has streamlined our workflows and unlocked greater opportunities for growth and success on a global scale.”
Were we to manage and coordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 USD more each year. Remote not only removes that financial strain but also lifts the operational burden from our team, allowing us to focus on growing the business with confidence and efficiency.
“Payroll is processed monthly, twice-monthly and hourly across multiple currencies worldwide, and our Finance Manager has complete visibility from a single consolidated platform. With Remote, this becomes possible.”
“We engage 460+ Contractors worldwide. Otherwise, I would have to take on five to six full-time staff to handle compliance, administration and payroll. Remote has unquestionably saved us both time and money.”
