Payroll-backed vs payroll-built: which model fits your stage

A short guide to choosing between Beepa's payroll-backed model and building your own employment layer.

## Payroll-backed (Beepa)\nBest for: companies scaling from 1 to 50 outsourced seats, with no in-country HR.\nYou get: people on your tools, salary on our books, employment admin off your plate.\n\n## Payroll-built (own entity)\nBest for: 50+ seats, multi-country, or compliance-heavy verticals.\nYou get: full control, but also full responsibility for filings, benefits, and local labor law.\n\nMost of our clients start on the payroll-backed model and migrate to a built entity at the 30–50 seat mark. We help with that handoff.
