You Have Decided on India. Now Decide How.
EOR, your own entity, a GCC, contractors, or an agency. They are not interchangeable, and the wrong one costs either months or a reclassification notice. Answer seven questions and this ranks all five against your actual situation — including the ones it rules out, and why.
Every option scored
Not one answer with the reasoning hidden
What got ruled out
And the specific reason it did
The trade-off, both ways
What each model gives you and what it costs
The service that matches
Mapped to a real page and a real price
Do you already have a legal entity in India?
This is the fork that decides everything downstream.
Your fast answer and your right answer are different
Every option, scored
The service that matches
- Every point carries its reason. Each answer adds or subtracts against each model and records why, in your own terms — that is what the scored list above is showing you.
- Ruled out beats out-scored. Some answers disqualify a model outright — a two-week start cannot be met by an entity that takes three to six months to register. Those sort below everything viable, with the reason attached.
- Watch-outs are not rule-outs. A flagged model is still viable; the flag is the thing that would make it stop being viable later.
- Directional, not advice. Figures verified against Wisemonk pricing. A consultation validates this against your contracts, IP position and existing India footprint.
