“Businesses don’t know what they don’t know, and that is a really expensive problem. You have companies growing into new countries, whether they’re buying businesses because they need the talent or because they need the expertise. And most of the time, businesses have no idea what the implications are going to be, from a compliance perspective, or how they are going to be managing the employees, and then ongoing to keep the business in good standing.”
