The Problem

Your Georgian team doesn't need a Georgian company.

Hiring locally can create an entire layer of administration before your team even starts working.

01

Entity setup

Establishing and maintaining a local legal structure.

02

Payroll & employment taxes

Calculations, filings, payments and statutory obligations.

03

Employment compliance

Local contracts, documentation and employment requirements.

04

Ongoing administration

HR processes, payroll records and local coordination.

One local employer handles it all.

EmpOweR becomes the legal employer of your team in Georgia, while you remain in control of their roles, goals and day-to-day work.

Employment expertise

Local employment processes structured around Georgian requirements.

Tax & compliance depth

Employment taxes and statutory obligations handled by local specialists.

One accountable partner

Employment, payroll and compliance coordinated through one team.

Built for international business

Clear communication, international service standards and senior local expertise.

Expertise you can verify.

Team experience, professional qualifications, registrations, insurance and international client history will appear here as they're confirmed for launch — no placeholder logos or claims.

Tax Benefits

Tax saving through IC status and Georgia's tax regimes.

Georgia offers special tax regimes for eligible international businesses. We assess each structure against applicable law — no universal promises.

5%*

Reduced tax rate for eligible IC-status structures.

*Indicative only. Availability depends on eligibility, your business model and activities, and a case-by-case assessment. Not tax advice.

IC company status

International Company (IC) status can give eligible businesses access to a reduced 5% tax rate and other tax benefits. We check whether your structure qualifies before recommending it.

Virtual Zone certificate

Qualifying IT companies exporting services may benefit from Virtual Zone status. We confirm eligibility and help you prepare the application.

Tax saving for foreign employment

Structured correctly, employing your international team in Georgia can lower the overall tax cost of the operation — always within applicable law and fully documented.

Combine an Employer of Record for your people with the right company status for your business, and outsource what you don't want to run yourself.

EOR or Your Own Entity?

Replace six vendors with one partner.

The old way — 6+ vendors
  • Register a local entity
  • Appoint a local director
  • Contract a payroll provider
  • Onboard an accountant
  • Onboard an employment lawyer
  • Build an HR administration function
With EmpOweR — 1 partner
  • One employment contract
  • One payroll run
  • One compliance calendar
  • One monthly invoice
  • One dedicated account manager
When Each Makes Sense

Not every company needs to establish in Georgia on day one.

EOR may be right when you want to:

  • Start hiring quickly
  • Avoid entity administration
  • Build or test a Georgian team
  • Keep greater exit flexibility

A local entity may make more sense when:

  • Your Georgian operation becomes permanent and substantial
  • You require broader local commercial activity
  • Your tax and operational structure supports establishing locally

FAQ

Employer of Record, BPO and tax: answers without the legalese.

What is an Employer of Record (EoR) in Georgia?+

An Employer of Record (EoR), sometimes called Employment of Record, is a local company that becomes the legal employer of your team in Georgia. EmpOweR signs the employment contracts, runs payroll, files employment taxes and handles compliance, while you keep directing the day-to-day work. You do not need to open a Georgian entity.

Can I hire in Georgia without opening a company?+

Yes. That is what an Employer of Record is for. EmpOweR becomes the legal employer of your team in Georgia while you manage their roles, goals and daily work.

How quickly can we onboard someone?+

Typically within 3–5 business days of signing, once contract details and documentation are confirmed, compared to several weeks to register and activate a local entity.

What is the difference between an EoR and BPO (business process outsourcing)?+

With an EoR you employ your own team through EmpOweR and manage their work yourself. With BPO you outsource a whole function, such as back office, finance operations or customer support, to a team we run, and you manage the outcome. Many clients start with one and add the other.

Can I outsource my team to Georgia?+

Yes. You can either employ your own people through our Employer of Record service or outsource a function to a team we manage under BPO. Either way, you avoid setting up and running a Georgian entity.

What is IC company status in Georgia and how does it save tax?+

IC (International Company) status is a special tax status in Georgia. Eligible companies with IC status may benefit from a reduced 5% tax rate and other tax benefits. Eligibility depends on your business model and activities, so we assess each structure case by case. We make no universal promises.

What is a Virtual Zone certificate?+

The Virtual Zone certificate is a Georgian status aimed at qualifying IT companies that export services, offering tax benefits on that income. Whether your business qualifies depends on its activities and structure, and we check eligibility before recommending it.

Can you support foreign employment in Georgia?+

Yes. We employ international team members in Georgia under compliant local contracts and payroll. Residence and work-status requirements vary by nationality and length of stay, and we flag them at onboarding.

Is an EoR the same as a staffing agency?+

No. Your team works exclusively for you, under your direction. EmpOweR is only the local legal employer of record, handling contracts, payroll, tax and compliance.

What happens if we later want our own entity?+

An EoR is designed as a starting point. If your Georgian operation grows into something that needs its own entity, EmpOweR supports the transition, including the employment handover.

Local expertise. International standards.
Team experience, professional credentials and registrations will be listed here as they're confirmed — verifiable detail, not marketing claims.
