The situation: Complexities of hiring without established entities
As Biocartis expanded globally, they encountered challenges hiring in countries where they didn’t have entities. Managing payroll, compliance, and legal requirements in new regions was complex, since each country has its own set of unfamiliar regulations. This made it difficult to navigate local tax and legal compliance, slowing Biocartis’ ability to enter and operate in new markets.
The solution: Scaling faster with G-P
Recognizing the need for a faster and more scalable approach, Biocartis explored alternatives to the traditional entity setup, which was costly and time-consuming. Biocartis turned to their trusted payroll provider, SD Worx, who recommended G-P as a reliable Employer of Record (EOR) solution to streamline the process. While Biocartis had previously worked with another Swiss-based EOR, it quickly became clear that G-P offered a broader range of expertise and more flexibility in employing talent across a wider variety of countries.
Initially, Biocartis leveraged G-P’s EOR solution to establish a compliant hiring process in Ireland while SD Worx set up a permanent payroll system. Seeing the efficiency and flexibility of G-P’s services, Biocartis expanded hiring in Thailand, where managing compliance and legal requirements was even more complex. G-P’s expertise allowed Biocartis to onboard talent quickly and focus on its core business, rather than administrative hurdles.
“Thanks to SD Worx recommending G-P, we found a reliable EOR partner that helped us overcome challenges in hiring talent in several new regions. G-P allowed us to focus on what really mattered, hiring the best team members and paying them correctly, while handling the local compliance, banking, and legal complexities.

The impact: Accelerating expansion with G-P and SD Worx
Partnering with G-P and SD Worx not only simplified global workforce management but also delivered measurable results for Biocartis.
The company saw time and cost savings of up to 20% on administrative tasks like payroll processing, onboarding, and managing legal compliance. Onboarding time dropped from approximately 60 days to just 10 days, significantly improving hiring speed.
They also experienced a 50% reduction in legal fees related to setting up entities in multiple countries. And thanks to G-P’s infrastructure, market entry time was reduced from around 3 months to just 1 month.
Today, Biocartis continues to grow its international presence with support from G-P and SD Worx. Together, they’ve helped the company stay compliant with local employment regulations without having to set up entities in every new market.
“All the processes have been smooth — the transition, payroll, and yearly taxes. Everything is fast and there haven’t been any issues as a team member employed through G-P.
