Every Tool You Need To Ensure Compliance And Unlock Global Expansion
There are so many benefits to growing your company’s international presence. The businesses that succeed in today’s world are those that expand into new markets, diversify their revenue streams and tap global talent pools.

How our platform empowers your expansion
Tell us about your business
Many businesses rely on their own internet research to research sensitive labor law and employment compliance information. It’s a strategy that exposes you to world of inaccurate data and risk – anyone can publish on internet. Our business intelligence is extensively vetted and verified by local HR & Legal professionals. They closely monitor each country’s labor laws, so you’re always confident in your compliance.
Save money by avoiding costly consulting fees
Companies that want an extra layer of verification and analysis often turn to costly external consultants. This approach offers little visibility into what you’re paying until it’s too late and you discover the project took much longer than you anticipated. Our subscription service gives you transparency into exactly what you’re getting at a fixed cost and allows you to research basic information without needing to consult anyone in the first place.
Accelerate your market entry and time to hire
Whether you depend on external consultants or your in-house teams, compliance research is extremely time-consuming. That time is valuable – every extra day that’s spent on compliance eats into your competitive advantage by slowing down your entry into new countries or risking the loss of great talent. With Expandopedia, you’ll have ready access to a trove of business intelligence, freeing up your time and resources for other business operations.
