Overview
Expanding into Africa presents real opportunity. But scaling across the continent without understanding the compliance landscape can expose organisations to serious risk.
Africa is not a single market. Each country operates under its own employment laws, payroll regulations, tax frameworks, statutory requirements, and termination protections. Setting up a local entity in every market is costly, time-consuming, and often unnecessary in the early stages of expansion.
The Employer of Record model offers a compliant alternative. But it must be structured correctly.
This executive-level session provides a practical roadmap for using the Employer of Record model to hire, manage, and scale teams across Africa without establishing local entities.
This is not theory. It is built on real operational execution across 40+ African jurisdictions.
If you are exploring expansion, hiring remote talent, supporting clients across Africa, or testing new markets before incorporation, this session is designed for you.
