Globalization Partners

G-P is the enterprise incumbent. It has been in this market longer than most of its rivals, covers 180+ countries, and sells to legal and procurement teams rather than founders. It publishes no pricing at all, which tells you most of what you need to know about the buying process: expect a sales cycle, a custom quote, and a contract negotiated rather than accepted.

The decision-critical facts

• EOR pricing: not published; quoted per engagement
• Coverage: 180+ countries
• Buyer profile: mid-market and enterprise, procurement-led
• Positioning: compliance depth and legal defensibility over platform speed
• Recent direction: heavy investment in AI-assisted compliance guidance

What G-P actually costs

Nothing is published, and that is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight. In practice enterprise EOR quotes in this tier tend to sit well above the $400–600 self-serve band, with the premium buying contractual protections, named support and indemnities that self-serve providers do not offer.

If your budget is the deciding factor, the absence of a public price is itself a signal: you will spend time in a sales process to find out whether you can afford it.

Entity footprint

G-P's long-standing pitch is depth of owned infrastructure and legal expertise, which is the basis for its enterprise positioning. It stops short of a public country-by-country breakdown of owned versus partner entities, so verify your specific markets.

For a buyer whose main risk is a compliance failure rather than a monthly fee, this is the category where paying more is easiest to justify.

G-P is the right call if…

• You are an enterprise with procurement, legal and security review requirements
• A compliance failure would cost you far more than the price difference
• You need contractual indemnities and named support rather than a help centre
• You are hiring at scale across many jurisdictions simultaneously
• You need an established counterparty with a long operating history

Look elsewhere if…

• You are a startup or SMB — you will be over-served and overcharged
• You want to sign up and hire this week without a sales conversation
• Budget certainty matters before you commit time; nothing is published
• You have one or two hires; the enterprise model does not price well at that volume
• You prefer self-serve software over an account-managed relationship

Bottom line

The safe institutional choice, priced accordingly. Buy G-P when the cost of getting employment law wrong exceeds the cost of the contract, and when you have the procurement patience the sales process requires. If you are hiring your first two people abroad, this is not built for you.
