Expand your organization into Andorra with or without an Andorran entity
Despite its small size and population, the landlocked microstate of Andorra has a developed economy and attracts a significant amount of foreign investment.
If you are contemplating an expansion project into Andorra, you should be prepared to experience unexpected delays. The country has a complex framework of employment and business regulations, and is also influenced by neighboring country’s regulations to some extent. This legal navigation, along with the language barrier, can result in slow progress and potentially lead to lost revenue and increased costs.
At New Horizons, we help businesses from all industries to expand abroad, including into Andorra. Our professional employer organization (PEO), employer of record, and payroll services can provide your organization with everything you need to kickstart your Andorran expansion in a matter of days, not months, even if you don’t have an established entity in the country.
As the only global PEO with an in-house recruitment team, we can also take care of the sourcing, hiring, and onboarding of your Andorran workforce, along with any ongoing HR and compliance admin. Our bespoke services can save you thousands in expansion costs and provide you with a faster route into Andorra.
