Duration: 5 months

Background story

A leading Chinese solar panel manufacturer needed to rapidly scale operations to meet increased global demand for renewable energy solutions. The company required support in managing visa processing, employee relocation, and ensuring compliance with labor and tax laws across multiple countries.

The challenge

The company faced three critical challenges: rapidly scaling operations to meet increased global demand for renewable energy solutions, managing visa processing and relocation for skilled engineers to new facilities abroad, and ensuring compliance with labor and tax laws across multiple countries. These challenges threatened to delay project timelines and increase operational risks.

Our solution

We delivered visa and relocation services, enabling engineers to transition smoothly to overseas projects. We conducted compliance audits and provided legal advisory to meet global regulatory standards. Additionally, we assisted with workforce planning to recruit and retain skilled local talent in key markets.

Costs we helped avoid

These are the costs we help companies avoid when they use our EOR and global expansion services instead of setting up on their own.

Total DIY cost (per country)

  • Entity formation and employer registrations
  • 12 months office rent, fit-out, and utilities
  • Office equipment
  • New hires × recruitment fees
  • Relocations × immigration and relocation services
  • Legal setup (contracts, policies, data privacy, works council readiness, etc.)
  • Payroll setup (provider onboarding, social security/tax registrations, benefits setup)
  • Recurring run-costs (accounting/tax, payroll operations, local HR ops, compliance updates)
  • Risk buffer (penalties, rework, delays)

In this case: total DIY cost = per country × 5 countries.

By using our immigration and EOR services across 5 countries, the client avoided total DIY cost × 5: entity formation, 12 months office rent and fit-out, office equipment, (50+ × recruitment + immigration/relocation), legal setup, payroll setup, recurring run-costs, and risk buffer in each country.

Jackson & Frank's comprehensive immigration and compliance services were essential to our global expansion. They enabled us to scale rapidly while maintaining full compliance across all markets, ensuring our projects stayed on schedule.
