Lano

Lano, established in 2018, provides a comprehensive software platform designed to streamline the management of global teams, encompassing both full-time employees and freelance contractors. The company was co-founded by Aurel Bantzer and Markus Schünemann. Bantzer, with a background in business administration and prior experience at institutions like Helbling Business Advisors, contributes his expertise in business development and strategy. Schünemann brings the technical acumen to the founding team, having previously worked as a CTO and software engineer. Their combined experience addresses the dual challenges of operational and technical complexities in managing distributed workforces.

The platform targets businesses of all sizes that are scaling their international teams, offering a suite of tools to handle compliance, payments, and payroll for a global workforce. Lano operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, generating revenue through subscriptions to its platform. The core of Lano's offering is its Employer of Record (EOR) service, which allows companies to hire employees in countries where they do not have a legal entity. This service covers local contracts, benefits, and ensures compliance with regional labor laws.

Beyond its EOR capabilities, Lano's platform integrates features for contractor management, enabling businesses to onboard, manage, and pay freelancers worldwide from a single interface. The system also includes a global payroll solution that consolidates payroll processing across multiple countries into one dashboard, simplifying a traditionally complex and fragmented process. This unified approach aims to provide businesses with the necessary infrastructure to hire and manage talent globally, ensuring both legal compliance and operational efficiency.
