Why teammates love Larkspur

We exist so a great job can find a great person, wherever either of them happens to be.

Guided onboarding

When it is time for a new teammate to start, a Larkspur specialist walks them through every step — from the first document to their first payslip.

One connected platform

Contracts, payslips, expenses, time-off, and health coverage live in a single place, so nobody has to email three people to find one document.

Support on demand

Questions about benefits, invoices, expenses, or a contract clause go to a real specialist who answers in hours, not business days.

Add on: country benefits packages

On the Full-time and Enterprise packages you can attach a locally tailored benefits bundle in a couple of clicks. Each package is pre-negotiated per country and typically covers healthcare, life cover, allowances, and pension contributions.

FAQs

What does the Larkspur fee include?

Every package includes contracts, onboarding, payroll runs, compliance monitoring, and unlimited support. Statutory employer costs and any benefits you attach are billed separately and shown before you confirm a hire.

Are there extra charges such as setup or cancellation fees?

No setup fee, and no cancellation fee on monthly plans. Annual seats can be reassigned rather than refunded, which is usually the cheaper option when a role changes.

Do you discount at a certain volume of hiring?

Yes. Volume pricing starts at five annual seats and scales from there. Our team will model the difference against your current headcount plan before you commit.

How does Larkspur handle currency conversion?

Payouts settle in the recipient's local currency at the mid-market rate captured when the payroll cycle locks. The applied rate appears on every invoice and payslip.

Can I pay Larkspur in a non-local currency?

You can fund your account in USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD regardless of where your teammates are based. We handle the conversion on the payout side.

Is there a minimum team size or minimum commitment?

There is no minimum on Freelance or Full-time — one person is a perfectly good reason to start. Enterprise agreements begin at five seats.

Is the Larkspur platform free to try?

Yes. A free workspace gives you the full platform, the calculators, and all 62 country guides. You only pay once someone is actually hired or paid through it.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer and direct debit for payroll funding; card payments are available for platform fees on the Freelance package.

Which countries can I hire in, and does price vary by country?

Contractors can be engaged in 174 countries and full-time employment is live in 128. The platform fee is flat; statutory employer costs differ by country and are always itemised.

How does the annual subscription work?

You reserve a number of seats for twelve months at a reduced rate. Seats are yours for the term and can move between roles or countries as your plans change.

Can I move an existing teammate from monthly to annual?

Yes, at any point. We credit the unused portion of the monthly term against the annual seat, so nothing is paid twice.

Are you eligible for these programs?

Discounts for nonprofits

We have a soft spot for mission-driven organisations. If you are a registered nonprofit or a certified social enterprise, apply to Larkspur for Good and unlock reduced platform rates, training, and research access.

“Even without our own legal entity in the region, Larkspur takes ownership of the messy parts — acting as the middle layer whenever an issue comes up. For me that has been the single most useful thing.”
