FMCG EOR refers to Employer of Record services built for consumer goods companies operating in Africa, letting you hire field sales, merchandising, and trade marketing staff without setting up a local entity. Africa Deployments becomes the legal employer, handling contracts, payroll, and compliance.
A distributor typically employs its own staff under its own entity, with limited visibility for the brand. EOR gives you a direct legal employer relationship with your field team, without needing your own entity.
FMCG companies use EOR to launch field sales and distribution teams fast, stay compliant with local labor law, and avoid the cost and delay of entity setup while entering a new retail market.
We support FMCG employment across all 54 African markets, with local experts managing labor law and commission-related payroll requirements in each jurisdiction.
Yes, our EOR service ensures full compliance with local employment law and structures commission-based compensation to meet statutory requirements in each jurisdiction.
We structure contracts for field-based roles, covering travel allowances and commission or incentive pay while keeping each contract compliant with local labor law.
Distributor staff work for the distributor, not your brand directly, limiting your control over training and performance. EOR employs staff on your behalf, giving you direct oversight without a local entity.
Yes, EOR is well suited to seasonal and campaign-based field teams since contracts can be scoped to a defined campaign period without the overhead of setting up a local entity.
We administer health insurance, pension contributions, and mandatory local benefits for field sales and merchandising staff, tailored to the requirements of each jurisdiction.
Ideal clients include consumer goods manufacturers, beverage companies, personal care brands, and retail brands building a field sales presence in a new African market.
By taking on legal employer responsibility, EOR shields you from misclassification, commission-structuring, and labor law risk across jurisdictions with limited local HR infrastructure.
Yes, we manage field staff across multiple African countries from one platform, with unified reporting so you can track headcount, payroll, and compliance across every market.
FMCG EOR typically saves 80-90% versus establishing and maintaining your own local entities, cutting legal, registration, and ongoing administrative costs across every market you enter.
Field sales and merchandising staff can be onboarded in as little as 48 hours through our streamlined setup process, backed by local expertise in contracts and payroll.
EOR handles the full employment lifecycle for field staff, from onboarding and payroll to benefits, documentation, and offboarding, so your team can focus on route-to-market execution.
Yes, EOR covers remote and hybrid trade marketing and category management roles alongside field sales staff, under the same compliant employment structure.
We manage payroll tax, social security, and statutory filings in each jurisdiction, keeping your field team compliant with local revenue authorities without an in-country finance function.
