Case Study: BandLab Technologies achieves 12X faster U.K. time-to-market with Safeguard Global's Global Employment Outsourcing (GEO)

Global music company expands in the U.K. with Global Employment Outsourcing

BandLab Technologies, a global music company, needed to rapidly expand into the U.K. after a critical acquisition but lacked a local employer entity and the resources to onboard and support an international workforce. To overcome this, BandLab Technologies engaged Safeguard Global and its Global Employment Outsourcing (GEO) employer-of-record solution to address U.K. employment, payroll, benefits and compliance challenges.

Safeguard Global implemented GEO and full-service HR support in the U.K., handling payroll, taxes, benefits and legal employer responsibilities so BandLab could transfer employees from two acquisitions and focus on growth. The partnership cut time-to-market dramatically—reducing a multi-year setup to about two months (12X faster)—and Safeguard Global’s ongoing support helped maintain employee satisfaction through restructures and long-term U.K. operations.
