How it works →Why startups outsource HR and payroll
In short: because not outsourcing is more expensive. Early-stage companies can't spare the time or resources to manage every HR function in-house. Building an entire HR operation—hiring specialists, setting up payroll systems, navigating CRA registration, and keeping up with provincial labour law—drains runway and distracts from what matters. We handle payroll, compliance, and employment so you can focus on your mission: building product, winning customers, and scaling your team.

Frequently asked questions
Look for a partner that simplifies complexity, supports your growth into Canada, and protects your business from risk. Ask: Do they support employees and contractors in Canada? Do they handle payroll and compliance in one place? Are they transparent on pricing and process? A good partner grows with you—from your first Canadian hire to your next round and beyond.
Because not outsourcing is usually more expensive. Small, fast-growing companies can't spare the time or resources to manage every HR function in-house. Building an entire HR operation to handle payroll, compliance, and employment doesn't make financial or operational sense—especially when partners like InfraDev exist to handle these for startups hiring in Canada.
Outsourcing payroll lets startups save time, use budget for mission-critical work, and ensure everyone gets paid correctly and on time. Missed payroll or benefits issues can kill momentum. By outsourcing, you reduce errors and keep the team focused on your product and growth.
