Looking for second opinions on the support provided by firms in the UK to service both a newly formed UK subsidiary and other European countries where 1 or 2 employees may reside. Firms I've considered include: Radius (formerly Nair/Highstreet Partners merger) who appear competent but costly, MHLLP (MacIntyre Hudson) appearing very reasonable, USA2Europe, CCW (Crowe Clark Whitehill), and Fitzgerald and Law. In addition, for PEO services (Professional Employer Organization), I've noted Globalization Partners, who are good but don't check the box for every country in Europe. We may use a PEO in the countries where we can't work as a non resident employer from the UK. Any comments positive or otherwise on these providers or others are welcome, thanks much.

Hi Jeff,
We've had good experiences with Radius. On the PEO side you could also consider our Shield GEO service for places where you have no entity in country. You can see the list of countries we cover on our site.
Jeff,
As a small private company, we have been pleased with the services of Blick Rothenberg. http://www.blickrothenberg.com/
I have used Radius, and it was very expensive. For PEO in the UK I can recommend BatesCampbell, a small firm who handled our 3 person payroll there. http://batescampbell.com/
We have used the Baker Tilly office in the UK for audit,
I've used CCW in the UK to run payroll for one person in Germany and to pay bills to vendors in various countries in Europe. They set up a trust bank account that they managed, which saved me the hassle of having to set up a European bank account without having an address in Europe. They were also helpful in setting up proprer contracts with European employees. I found them very responsive and easy to work with.

Hi Jeff. There are many firms entering the "Global PEO" space as companies and governments become more accepting of the practice. However most use partner networks to accomplish the task.
