What Jumpstarters Manila does

Jumpstarters Manila Inc. (operating as JMI) is a Philippine professional services consultancy that supports local and foreign investors in establishing and operating businesses in the Philippines. Founded in 2020 and operating as a subsidiary of SCP Group Inc., the firm delivers five core services: Business Registration (SEC, BIR, and local government unit filings), Corporate Secretarial (nominee secretary and SEC compliance), Employer of Record or EOR (acting as legal employer for clients hiring Filipino workers without a local entity), Accounting and tax compliance (bookkeeping, BIR filings, tax remittance), and Monthly Payroll (payslip preparation, government contribution remittance, salary disbursement). Pricing is unit-based or percentage-based: USD 20 per employee per month for payroll with no minimum headcount, and 12% of monthly gross salary and allowances for EOR, with the firm claiming the lowest fees in the Philippine market.

The company is based at a virtual office in M1 Tower, Salcedo Village, Makati City, and operates with a fully remote team of 11-50 employees. Its customer base spans international payroll and HR-tech platforms (Marco Global Payroll, Multiplier Technologies), Philippine businesses (BCS Technology, Ecscale, Satguru, BAD International), and remote-first companies hiring Filipino talent. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, driven by a free initial consultation, the company website (jmiph.com), LinkedIn and Facebook presence, and word-of-mouth referrals. Revenue is generated through professional services fees and recurring monthly subscriptions on payroll, accounting, and EOR engagements. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no API, and no AI-driven capabilities; differentiation rests on Philippine regulatory expertise, bundled end-to-end service delivery, and price competitiveness enabled by the remote operating model.

Direct peers

• Rivermate: EOR-focused provider offering Philippines-based employment, payroll and contractor management. Directly comparable service breadth and target customer (foreign companies hiring Filipino employees).
• Emerhub: Philippines-focused business setup, accounting, payroll, and EOR provider. Closest geographic peer with a near-identical service mix (registration through ongoing compliance) targeting foreign investors.
• Skuad: EOR and global payroll platform with Philippines as a featured country. Directly competes with JMI's EOR and payroll lines for foreign SMBs hiring in the Philippines.
• Multiplier: Global EOR and contractor management platform with Philippines coverage. Notably, Multiplier is already a JMI corporate-secretarial customer, so it is both a peer and partner; otherwise a direct competitor in EOR and payroll.
• INS Global: EOR and payroll provider focused on Asia-Pacific including the Philippines. Overlaps with JMI on EOR, payroll, and ongoing compliance for foreign employers in PH.

Broad incumbents

• Deel: Global EOR and HR platform with established Philippines operations. Competes with JMI on EOR, payroll and contractor management but at much larger scale and with proprietary technology.
• Remote: Global EOR platform offering Philippines employment, payroll and benefits administration. Larger, tech-led incumbent competing for the same foreign-investor and remote-hire customers as JMI.
• Papaya Global: Global workforce management and EOR platform with Philippines coverage. Larger tech-driven incumbent offering payroll and employer-of-record services to the same foreign-investor customer base.
• Velocity Global: Global EOR/PEO with Asia-Pacific footprint. Competes with JMI for foreign companies hiring in the Philippines but operates a much larger, technology-driven platform.
• Globalization Partners: Established global PEO/EOR provider with APAC coverage including the Philippines. Overlaps with JMI on EOR and ongoing compliance but targets enterprise clients with a broader, tech-enabled platform.
