When deciding to expand operations overseas, many companies seek the benefits of In-Country Partners in their new target markets. Rules around payroll or employee benefits vary significantly from country to country. With the added difficulties of language differences, having a partner in your target market that profoundly understands your needs can be a great help.
However, while In-Country Partners provide a range of benefits, they can become troublesome if they lack specific expertise or don’t spend the time to fully understand your unique requirements.
INS can provide critical services as an International Master Vendor Management provider to aid you in your global expansion efforts. By streamlining and managing your In-Country Partners, we can take care of the complications companies face when transitioning into an international organization.
What is an ICP?
An In-Country Partner (ICP) is any kind of local company or vendor that provides foreign businesses entering their home market with expansion aid services. These services typically revolve around payroll management services or localization guidance but can be extended to various options, including legal compliance assurance, PEO/EOR services, or recruitment.
Many PEO and EOR services will utilize a range of ICPs to provide specific services within a country. Some countries may even require foreign companies to work with an ICP to do business.
The benefits of this kind of approach are manifold. ICPs are experienced with local requirements and are fully capable of operating in the local language. They will also typically have more extensive networks or better-developed resources in the country than a foreign company.
Generally, ICPs allow companies to enter a local market quicker and easier. In fact, many global expansion services providers even prefer ICPs to their own structures in different regions.
That said, working directly with ICPs is not always the best or simplest option for busy global companies. Particularly when considering expansion into multiple regions at once, an International Master Vendor Management (IMVM) provider can be the perfect way to organize and ensure your ICPs are working as well as they can for your goals.
What Can INS Provide?
INS Global can evaluate the ICPs you currently work with and take full responsibility for all your HR process needs worldwide through a single streamlined service. This reduces the time and complexity of working with ICPs, improves compliance assurance, and ensures that your unique needs are understood and met at each stage.
With us, you gain access to guaranteed quality of service in every country you operate in. We will ensure the ICPs you work with are the best by integrating them into our unified platform or transferring your needs to our in-country structures directly. This way, we can ensure you’re satisfied with the services you receive.
