Setting up and running a Paraguay payroll
If you are planning a Paraguay expansion one of the first steps is likely to be setting up a Paraguayan entity and hiring a local workforce. While this is possible to do independently, it can be difficult to understand and follow the country’s unique employment laws and overcome language barriers, which can cause unexpected delays to expansion.
At Horizons, we specialize in helping organizations of all kinds expand internationally, including into Paraguay. We will handle your payroll setup and ongoing management, whether or not you already have a registered in the country.
