Impact investing EOR refers to Employer of Record services built for funds, DFIs, and portfolio companies operating in Africa, letting you hire fund office and portfolio staff without setting up a local entity. Africa Deployments becomes the legal employer, handling contracts, payroll, and compliance.
Setting up an entity involves legal registration and ongoing filings that take time and capital, often before a portfolio company has proven its model. EOR lets you hire compliant staff quickly while that decision is deferred.
Impact investors use EOR to staff a fund office or new portfolio company fast, stay compliant with local labor law, and avoid the cost and delay of entity setup during early-stage deployment.
We support impact investing employment across all 54 African markets, with local experts managing labor law and reporting requirements in each jurisdiction where a fund or portfolio company operates.

We structure employment contracts and payroll records to align with the documentation standards commonly required by DFIs and blended finance vehicles, without you needing an in-house compliance team.
A management services agreement typically governs institutional services, not individual employment status. EOR is employment-specific: we become the legal employer of your named fund or portfolio staff.
