Setting up a sales office in India

Smart Way to Set Up a Sales Office in India: EOR Services That Work

India offers tremendous opportunities for global businesses. Its expanding economy, large consumer base, and rising demand for international products make it an ideal market to enter. Naturally, many companies consider setting up a sales office in India to capture this growth.

However, once the process begins, it quickly becomes more complicated than expected. Legal entity registration, multiple government approvals, labor laws, tax registrations, and statutory compliance create a long list of requirements even before your sales team can begin operating.

This is exactly where Team Management Services (TMS) brings a smarter solution. With our Employer of Record (EOR) services, you can establish your sales presence in India far more efficiently.

Traditional Setup vs. The Smarter HR-Driven Alternative with TMS

Let’s say your company is ready to set up a sales office in India. On paper, the opportunity looks exciting. However, the moment you start the process, the complexities of local HR and employment compliance quickly emerge. You’ll need to register a legal entity, appoint directors, open Indian bank accounts, and complete multiple labor, tax, and statutory registrations.

 

More importantly, you must ensure full compliance with Indian employment laws — drafting proper employment contracts, handling employee benefits like Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESIC), gratuity, leave policies, and various labor regulations. Any misstep can expose your company to legal and financial risks.

 

This is exactly where TMS, as your HR outsourcing and Employer of Record (EOR) partner, simplifies your India expansion. Instead of building a full local HR and compliance infrastructure, you hire your Indian sales team through TMS.

 

Here’s how we manage it from an HR perspective:

  • We prepare fully compliant employment contracts aligned with Indian labor laws.

  • Our team handles complete payroll processing, tax deductions, and statutory benefit administration.

  • We manage employee registrations for PF, ESIC, gratuity, insurance, and leave policies.

  • All ongoing HR compliance, government filings, and employee support are fully taken care of by TMS.

As a result, your sales team can begin operations within weeks, while TMS ensures every HR, employment, and compliance aspect is professionally managed from day one.

The Benefits of Partnering with TMS for India Market Entry

  • Faster Market Entry: Setting up a local entity in India can be time-consuming and costly. EOR solutions allow companies to hire employees in India quickly without having to set up a subsidiary or branch.

  • Reduced Legal Risk: India’s labor laws are complex and can vary significantly by state. EOR solutions ensure compliance with all local regulations, thus minimizing the risk of legal disputes.

  • Cost-Effective: Establishing a local entity requires substantial resources, including office space, HR personnel, and legal support. Using EOR services in India allows companies to avoid these expenses.

  • Focus on Core Operations: Companies can focus on growing their business, managing employees’ work, and expanding their operations, while the EOR handles administrative functions such as payroll, taxes, and legal compliance.

  • Scalability: If a company needs to scale its workforce in India, the EOR can help by quickly onboarding new employees without the need for a legal entity or complex administrative overhead.

  • Global Expansion: For companies looking to expand globally, a Global Employer of Record (EOR) can help manage employees across multiple countries, including India, with a single point of contact for all legal and administrative needs.
