- Social insurance and tax filed monthly
- Full European day overlap
Syria
سورياSkilled people, and almost no legal way to pay them from abroad. We hold an entity there so you do not have to.

Our services
One platform, every way to work
Hiring your first person or running payroll for a team you already have. Pick the model that fits.
Contractor of Record
We become the contracting party. The person invoices us, we pay them, and your agreement is with a company rather than an individual abroad.
Contractor management
You keep the contracts in your own name. We collect the paperwork, check the invoices and make sure everyone gets paid on time.
Payroll services
Already employ people locally? We run the payroll: calculations, deductions, payslips and records.
People onboarding
Send one invite. We gather the details, prepare the documents local law asks for, and track each person through to their first day.
Local HR support
Employment changes, records and offboarding, handled by people who know these two markets.

who are actually there
Employing someone in Damascus is not a form you submit from London. It needs a local entity, a local accountant and someone who can walk into the office.

The problem
Why hiring in Egypt
Why hiring in Egypt
and Syria goes wrong
Finding the person takes weeks. Paying them legally takes months.
Setting up a whole company to make one hire
Commercial registration, a tax card, a bank account that will actually open, a payroll provider, someone resident who can sign. Months of work before anyone gets paid.
The contractor agreement everyone quietly relies on
Someone works your hours, on your systems, under your direction. An inspector reads that as employment, whatever the PDF says. The back pay lands on you.
Actually getting the money there
Banking into Syria is narrow. Egypt has rules about foreign currency. Getting salary there every month is a job someone has to own, and it is not your finance team.
The global platforms skip these two
They do not operate in Syria, and Egypt gets a checkbox. So you run one vendor for everywhere else and a spreadsheet for here.
The answer
One record per person,
One record per person,
nothing in a spreadsheet
The liability is ours
We are the employer on paper, so inspections, arrears and disputes come to us.
Contracts that hold up
Arabic and English, written for local labour law, not translated from a US template.
Nothing piles up unseen
End of service, leave and gratuity build up where you can see them, from day one.
How it works
Three steps, then you are hiring
You pick the person. We carry employee contracts, payroll and legal exposure.
01
You pick the person
Your candidate, your offer, your number. Send us the name once you have decided.
02
We sign as the employer
A local contract in Arabic and English, under our entity. Insurance, tax and end of service start on day one.
03
You manage them on your board
Payslips, leave, expenses and documents in one place. One invoice a month.
Already have someone in mind? Send us the role and the salary you are thinking of, and we will come back with what that hire costs you in full.

What we cover
What we take off your plate
Everything the law in Egypt and Syria makes an employer responsible for.
Contracts, both languages
Arabic and English, signed under our entity.
Payroll and payslips
Run monthly, same date, in their currency.
Tax and insurance
Withheld, filed and paid locally for you.
Leave and hours
Tracked to local entitlement, not guesswork.
End of service
Accrued monthly so it never lands as a shock.
Notice and offboarding
Final settlement calculated and paid correctly.
What does an employer of record actually do?
An employer of record (EOR) legally employs someone on your behalf. We hold employee contracts, run payroll, file tax and social insurance, and carry the liability. The person still does your work and reports to your manager.
Do we need to register a company in Egypt or Syria?
No, that is the point of the model. You hire through our entities. No commercial registration, no tax card, no local bank account, no resident director.
How do people actually get paid?
In Egyptian pounds, Syrian pounds or USD, same date every month. You settle one invoice in your currency and we handle the local leg.
Is it legal to hire in Syria right now?
The sanctions picture changed a lot through 2025. We screen every engagement against your jurisdiction and ours, and tell you on the first call if yours does not clear.
What does it cost?
A flat monthly fee per employee, on top of salary and statutory employer costs. Nothing taken out of what your hire is paid.
When do you open?
We are onboarding a first group of companies now. Early access puts you in it, and your questions shape what we build.

We will send back what that hire really costs you, all in.
