Common questions
An EOR like Deel or Globalization Partners employs people in Mexico through their own entity, so you can hire without setting up a company. Commenda sets up your own S. de R.L., so the company can invoice and operate, and runs its IVA, corporate tax, payroll, and filings.
Usually when you have a handful of employees (the per-employee EOR fee adds up), or when the company itself needs to invoice, hold contracts, or operate locally. At that point owning the entity through Commenda is typically lower total cost of ownership.
No. Mexican law does not require a local or resident director. It does require a legal representative for RFC registration and banking, which Commenda includes in the formation package via Power of Attorney.
Deel is from $599/employee/month for the platform fee, which excludes salary, employer taxes, and statutory benefits. Globalization Partners is quote-based, with market estimates around $799+ per employee per month. Both fees scale with headcount.
About 10 weeks end to end with Commenda (incorporation deed, Public Registry and RNIE registration, RFC registration with SAT, and bank account opening), if documents are provided promptly. An EOR can onboard an employee in days.
