Deel and Globalization Partners: hiring without an entity

Common questions
No. An Employer of Record like Deel or Globalization Partners employs your staff on its own Argentine entity, so you can hire without registering anything. You need your own entity once you want to invoice and operate locally, or as headcount grows. Commenda sets up and runs that entity.
When you have real local operations (invoicing, contracts, many hires), or when per-employee EOR fees outgrow the flat cost of running an entity. An EOR cannot invoice locally, register for VAT, or file corporate tax for you. Commenda owns the entity and runs the compliance.
Deel's EOR starts at $599/employee/month, plus employer social contributions (around 23 to 27 percent) and mandatory aguinaldo (13th month) on top of gross salary. Globalization Partners is quote-based.
No. Argentina does not require a local director, but a foreign-owned entity does require a resident legal representative (an Argentine resident with a local Tax ID) and a registered legal address. An EOR avoids this by employing staff on its own entity. Commenda provides the legal representative ($20,000/year) and address ($1,500/year) when you own the entity.
An EOR onboards an employee in around 3 to 5 business days. Setting up your own Argentine entity with Commenda takes about two months end-to-end (apostille and translation, foreign company registration, subsidiary registration, transfer of shares).
