Wage Portage (EOR)

Secure the Market Trial without Creating a Legal Structure.

The EOR Alternative for Testing African Markets

Establishing a presence in Sub-Saharan Africa presents a significant challenge for international companies: the imperative to test the market quickly without getting bogged down in creating a local legal structure. Opening a subsidiary involves a substantial financial commitment and a prolonged setup period, diverting vital resources away from commercial objectives. This risk of administrative burden and time lag jeopardizes the exploratory phase.

Legal Umbrella Company Services: The Secure Legal Framework

AWS Africa, as the operational hub on the continent, assumes full social and fiscal responsibility for employment. This turnkey solution is flexible and fully compliant with the local regulatory framework, allowing you to focus exclusively on achieving your business objectives.

AWS Africa = Employer of Record

The umbrella company arrangement allows your company to delegate all local recruitment to AWS Africa, which becomes your Employer of Reference (EOR).
Accelerated Deployment
Your teams can be operational in the field in an optimized period without going through the complexity of establishing a local entity.
Risk Minimization
AWS assumes the legal, tax, and social responsibility for employment, protecting you against regulatory volatility.
Turnkey Solution
Complete management of payroll, tax returns and mandatory social security contributions.

Cost and Flexibility of the EOR Model

Accelerated Deployment
A fixed management fee, starting at a very competitive level, simplifies budgeting and avoids major fixed investments.
Compliant Contract
Employment contracts are drafted strictly in accordance with the local Labour Code and OHADA standards.
Shared Management
The employee works under your functional operational direction, while AWS Africa bears the legal responsibility for the employment.

OHADA Compliance & Social Security

AWS Africa guarantees full compliance with OHADA law and local social legislation.

Master's Degree in Law

Our expertise in the legal framework avoids costly mistakes (calculation of compensation, non-compliance with collective agreements).

Agility and Tax Security

Umbrella companies protect you against the risks associated with social security contributions and charges, including tax audits and local labor disputes.

Comparison of EOR vs V.I.E. Portage.

Unlike other arrangements, AWS Africa’s umbrella company services are not subject to any age or fixed duration criteria.
Competitiveness
The solution often offers a more competitive cost for large companies and allows SMEs/mid-sized companies to benefit from an agile growth solution without administrative complexity.

Operational Monitoring

The employee is managed by your functional management with real-time activity reports and approvals.

Tableau de Bord Performances

Customized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) (mission progress, sales results) allow you to have a rigorous view from headquarters.

Secure Document Space

All legal documents (employment contracts, payslips, tax certificates) are archived and accessible online.

Real-Time Monitoring and Transparency (PMO Extranet)
