Costa Rica Expansion Advice
Opportunities and challenges when expanding into Costa Rica
Costa Rica is rapidly becoming a popular destination for international businesses looking to expand into Latin America. With a strong focus on political stability, a highly educated workforce and a national commitment to renewable energy, the country has seen significant growth in key sectors such as medicine, advanced manufacturing, agritech and tourism.
Costa Rica’s economy has also shown strong and consistent growth, with GDP expanding by 5.1% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, driven by robust private consumption, investment and a growing export sector. Benefiting from its strategic location between North and South America, the country is well-known for its pro-business environment and favourable free trade agreements with the United States, the EU and several Latin American nations.
However, expanding into Costa Rica also comes with its challenges, particularly when navigating local labour regulations and employment compliance.
For companies unfamiliar with these laws and regulations specific to Costa Rica, setting up a legal entity and ensuring compliance can be both costly and time-consuming. That’s where Leap29’s EOR services come in – we can help ensure a smooth and compliant expansion into Costa Rica, not only reducing costly compliance risks, but also minimising the time to market.
Why do I need an Employer of Record in Costa Rica?
To employ staff in Costa Rica without an EOR provider, companies are typically required to set up a legal entity. This process can be complex, time-consuming and expensive. This also includes a range of compliance challenges, detailed employment regulations and tax frameworks that can delay your expansion into Costa Rica.
This is where Leap29’s Employer of Record services come in. By partnering with us as your global EOR provider, you can quickly enter Costa Rica’s dynamic business environment without the cost, delays or legal burden of establishing a local entity.
Our extensive industry experience and deep understanding of Costa Rican labour laws ensure your expansion is fully compliant and tailored to your business needs. From managing employee onboarding and payroll to navigating Costa Rican Social Security and local tax obligations, we handle every step of the employment process.
Why choose Leap29 as your Employer of Record in Costa Rica?
At Leap29, we have over 25 years of experience in global recruitment and international employment solutions across a wide range of sectors, including Manufacturing, Construction & Engineering, Oil & Gas, Life Science & Pharmaceuticals, Power & Renewable Energy and Technology.
With in-depth knowledge of Costa Rica’s labour regulations, visa processes and local employment practices, our team can ensure your business expansion gets off to the best possible start.
