When visas close, global hiring opens.

Hi there,
This month brings big changes to global hiring and smarter ways for you to stay ahead.
Over the past year, we’ve spoken with founders across the world, and the message is clear: building strong teams, staying compliant, and stretching budgets is harder than ever.
With the new U.S. visa rules, the pressure has only grown. The question every company faces: stick with an EOR or take the leap to set up your own entity?
There’s no single right answer. But staying in the wrong setup too long can cost you time, money, and peace of mind.
🚨BREAKING NEWS:
The U.S. has introduced a one-time fee of $100,000 for new H-1B visas.
For startups, that’s a seismic shift, and most early-stage teams can’t afford that cost.
But while one door is closing, another is opening. One H-1B hire now equals about 20 fully compliant remote hires in most countries across the globe. Instead of relocating people, founders are keeping talent in-country and scaling through EOR or entity setups.
Would a $100,000 visa fee change your hiring plans?

📂 NEW SOLUTION: Set up and manage your own legal entities
For many companies, EORs are a lifeline. They take the weight off your shoulders and make hiring abroad manageable when it feels overwhelming.
But as you grow, that setup can start to feel limiting.
That’s why we created Entity Management: to help you take the next step without losing sleep over legal hurdles or hidden costs.
Here’s how we support you:
✔️Step-by-step guidance through legal requirements
✔️Clear timelines and costs without surprises
✔️Ongoing support until you’re fully operational.
It’s not about choosing EOR or entity. It’s about choosing the option that feels right for your business at the stage you’re in.

💻 INDUSTRY UPDATES — Q3 2025
Here’s a quick look at what’s changing around the world:
Change is constant. And navigating it is easier when you don’t have to do it alone.
🧠 FINAL THOUGHT
Global growth isn’t a straight path. It’s twists, turns, and difficult choices, and sometimes it feels like you’re figuring it out alone.
But you don’t have to.
With visa costs rising and compliance rules changing, the real challenge isn’t just how to expand, but when to take the next step. From temporary fixes to long-term solutions, timing is everything.
So what’s the biggest challenge holding you back right now: cost, compliance, or just the fear of change?
Whatever it is, you’re not alone in facing it.
Until next time,
Jack
