Contrata con Norte is a Spanish-first EOR that covers one country, the United States, for one kind of client, Latin American companies making their first US hires. It charges a fixed monthly fee per employee quoted per case rather than a list price, commits to no setup fee, FX markup or exit penalty, and runs the whole process through a named specialist in Spanish or Portuguese. The trade-offs are single-country coverage, no published price, and a 2026 launch with no independent reviews yet.

About Contrata con Norte
Contrata con Norte is a Spanish-first Employer of Record (EOR) that lets Latin American companies employ people in the United States without opening a US company. It covers all 50 states and was founded in 2026.
A US entity becomes the legal employer: it signs a state-specific employment contract, runs twice-monthly payroll, files federal, state and local taxes, provides medical, dental, vision and 401(k) benefits at cost, and handles state registration. Alongside EOR it offers contractor management with a classification review, W-9, 1099 and W-8BEN collection, and conversion of misclassified contractors to W-2 employment in about five days.
There is no published price. The fee is a fixed monthly amount per employee, quoted per case, with no setup fee, no percentage of salary, no hidden FX markup and no exit penalty. Every client gets a named specialist in Mexico City, Bogota or Sao Paulo working in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The service covers the United States only and runs on partner-backed employment infrastructure.
