Benin Subsidiary.
Companies expanding to Benin first need to focus on the time-consuming nature of setting up a Benin subsidiary. You cannot start working in any foreign country without a registered entity, so it could take months or even a year before you can hire employees, add them to your payroll, and give out compensation and benefits.
Benin Visas & Permits.
Benin is a West African country that’s well-known as the birthplace of the Vodun, or Voodoo, religion. It’s also a great country to expand to if you’re looking to create ties to other African countries or cater to a new market. Unfortunately, many employers don’t understand how to get a work visa in Benin for each foreign employee, which can lead to compliance issues.
