Global payroll services, simplified for fast-growing California companies
Accelerate your global expansion with quick-to-deploy global payroll, accounting, tax, compliance and HR solutions.
CCW Business Solutions - Global Business Solutions
Not every California company has the internal resources to manage complex global payroll, finance and HR administration.
Our dedicated, experienced team operate across time zones to manage these requirements seamlessly, ensuring compliance, reducing administrative burden and freeing up your time to focus on core business priorities.
In 2025, our team delivered
Building the right compliant framework for global expansion
Every engagement starts with a practical review of your expansion plans. A straightforward, risk-aware set of recommendations is then provided, designed to create the most cost-effective and fit-for-purpose framework for global hiring and operations.
Options are carefully assessed, with clear advice on the advantages and limitations of each approach. This transparency supports confident decision-making and ensures solutions are aligned with long-term business goals.
Since the ‘work from anywhere’ shift in 2020, there has been a surge in California-style global PEO and EOR providers offering high-cost cross-border solutions. Many of these options introduce unnecessary cost, risk and compliance challenges. A more considered, compliant and cost-effective approach helps protect your business while enabling sustainable global growth.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between setting up a subsidiary and an EOR?
For companies in San Francisco and across California, the difference comes down to who the legal employer is:
- CCW Business Solutions supports global payroll, employer registration, and compliance, while you remain the legal employer.
- EOR providers act as the legal employer on your behalf, enabling hiring globally without setting up a foreign entity.
What hidden costs should employers expect with EORs?
San Francisco employers hiring globally may face the following:
- onboarding/setup fees
- salary deposits
- FX and international payment markups
- benefits administration costs
- country-specific compliance costs.
These can increase total cost by 15–40%+ over advertised pricing.
Why are EOR services more expensive?
EOR providers price in the following:
- acting as the legal employer under local labour laws
- managing state-specific compliance (e.g., overtime rules, employee protections)
- maintaining country entity infrastructure.
However:
- many EORs rely on third-party entities globally
- some white-label services from other EOR providers
- legal and compliance risk is often shared—not entirely transferred.
When should you choose CCW over an EOR?
CCW Business Solutions is usually the better option when:
- you have a long-term global expansion strategy
- you expect to scale your team globally
- cost control and efficiency are priorities
- you want to directly employ staff and strengthen engagement
- you want full transparency and control under local employment law.
