6 CATS International

What 6 CATS International does

6 CATS International, doing business as Workwell Global, is an Employer of Record (EOR) services provider that enables companies to hire, onboard, pay, and manage employees and contractors across 150+ countries without establishing local legal entities. The firm primarily serves companies with cross-border hiring needs — including enterprises expanding internationally, staffing and recruitment agencies managing contractors globally, startups hiring their first overseas employees, and industrial or offshore-operations firms — and frames its offering around avoiding entity setup, accelerating time-to-hire, and mitigating local labor-law and tax-compliance risk.

The product portfolio centers on a core EOR service, complemented by Independent Contractor Management for short-term engagements and an Immigration Service add-on for visa support. These offerings are delivered through a unified Workforce Management Technology platform that consolidates onboarding, payroll, benefits administration, and compliance monitoring. The company claims deep localized employment expertise across more than 150 jurisdictions and positions its platform around a single-interface, employer-on-behalf-of-the-client operating model.

Commercially, the company runs a managed services revenue model, charging fees for each employee or contractor onboarded and managed, with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (personalized consultations with expansion experts) with a channel partner program — the Global Marketplace and 'Become a Partner' initiative — targeting staffing and recruitment firms as referral partners. The company is private, headquartered in London, and operates with an 11-50 employee footprint, supplemented by an ASPCo Trusted Partner certification as a sector credibility signal.
