Detailed Review
Teamed Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 11671583, with its office at International House on Holborn Viaduct in London. The about page dates the company to 2018 and describes it as a response to hidden FX markups and surprise fees in cross-border hiring.
Its pricing page is unusually specific. One monthly line of €560 per employee is the service fee, a sample invoice for a Berlin engineer shows employer social charges and benefits passed through at cost, and setup and exit fees are listed at zero.
Pricing You Can Audit
The sample invoice on the pricing page splits a €13,292.00 monthly total into gross salary, statutory charges, benefits, local levies and the €560.00 Teamed fee. Statutory costs are billed at cost, and the page states zero FX markup against a mid-market reference rate.
Before the first payroll a customer funds a refundable deposit equal to one month of salary plus the first month's employment cost, according to the pricing FAQ. A 90-day satisfaction guarantee is offered, so a customer who is not satisfied is not locked in.
Contractors, EOR and Your Own Entity
Teamed sells three products on one platform: contractor management from €45 per contractor per month, EOR, and entity management that sets up, maintains and closes entities. A separate global payroll service covers companies that keep their own entities.
The about page says Teamed has its own legal entities in 57 countries, while the pricing and product pages talk about 187+ countries. The pages do not say how the countries beyond the owned ones are covered.
Who Handles Your Account
Every plan includes real HR and legal experts who are assigned within 24 hours, with a first reply within 15 minutes according to the pricing page. The site also has separate pages addressed to HR, legal, finance and executive buyers.
The site also lists a referral programme and a discounted EOR for portfolio companies of venture investors, which matters mostly to funded start-ups.
Limitations to Consider
The price is a starting figure, and the final monthly cost depends on the country and the pass-through charges. The deposit and first-month funding tie up cash before the first payroll. Owned entities are stated for 57 countries, less than the 187+ countries advertised. This review rests on the vendor's pages, not a hands-on test.
Who Should Use Teamed
Finance and HR teams that want to see each cost line before signing, and companies that expect to convert an EOR hire into their own entity within a few years.
