Establishing and running payroll in Mongolia
If you are planning a Mongolian expansion, one of your first steps will probably be hiring a local workforce. To do this you will generally need a legal entity in the country and will need to establish an in-country payroll and employment infrastructure. This can be a long and difficult process in many cases, taking several months to complete and causing delays.

We offer flexible service packages to simplify your expansion, whether or not you already have a Mongolian entity.
