A French premium wine company needed to expand into the Chinese market but lacked local entity infrastructure. The team needed a way to build an in-country presence without setting up a local subsidiary. They also had to ensure hiring and employment practices aligned with local requirements. An Employer of Record (EOR) platform was implemented to provide the local employment structure needed in China. The company hired local sales and marketing talent through the platform instead of forming a subsidiary. The solution handled onboarding and employment administration to support compliant hiring. The company achieved successful entry into the China market without the cost and time of establishing a local subsidiary. It realized 85% cost savings versus creating a local entity. New hires were onboarded in under 48 hours while full compliance was maintained.
