Hiring internationally shouldn't require becoming an expert in Colombian labor law.
To open your own entity
Incorporating in Colombia means registrations, local bank accounts, tax IDs, and ongoing legal upkeep — before you hire a single person.
In mandatory payroll costs
Prima, cesantías, social security, vacation, risk insurance — Colombian payroll has mandatory benefits that trip up foreign employers and trigger penalties.
Can mean fines and lawsuits
Misclassify a contractor or miss a severance rule and you're exposed. Labor courts in Colombia strongly favor the employee.
One partner. Everything you need to operate in Colombia.
Most EOR providers stop at payroll. PeakU is a full operations team on the ground — so you get everything below in one flat, predictable engagement.

US Delaware C-Corp

Real operations team, not a help desk

Talent + employment under one roof
We're recruiters first. We don't just employ the people you found — we help you find the right people to begin with.
"PeakU let us build our Colombia team without opening an entity or learning local labor law. They handled recruiting, payroll, even our office — we just managed the work."
Zero-Risk Start
No long-term lock-in. No setup fees to find out if it works. If a hire we recruited doesn't work out in the first 90 days, we find the replacement at no additional recruiting cost.
Questions US companies ask us
How is this different from Deel or other global EOR platforms?
Global platforms give you software and a help desk across 100+ countries. PeakU gives you a dedicated, on-the-ground team specialized in one country: Colombia. That means real local expertise, recruiting, office sourcing, vendor management, and hands-on operational support — not just compliant payroll.
Who is the legal employer of my team?
PeakU's Colombian entity employs your team under fully compliant local contracts. You contract with our US Delaware C-Corp, so your relationship is a domestic US agreement, and you direct your team's day-to-day work.
How fast can we get someone onboarded?
If you already have the candidate, onboarding typically takes days. If you need us to recruit, most roles get a vetted shortlist within 1–3 weeks. Compare that with the 6+ months it takes to open and operate your own Colombian entity.
What does it cost?
A flat, predictable monthly fee per employee plus the employee's actual compensation — all in a single USD invoice. On the strategy call we build a transparent, line-by-line cost breakdown for your specific roles, including the statutory Colombian benefits.
Why Colombia?
A deep pool of bilingual, highly skilled professionals; salary costs 50–70% below US equivalents; and a time zone aligned with US Eastern Time year-round — your team works when you work.
What if we eventually want our own entity in Colombia?
We'll help you transition. Many clients start with PeakU to move fast, then graduate to their own entity at scale — and we support the migration of your team when that day comes.
Your Colombia team could be working by next month.
