No. Onboarding takes just 15 minutes with an expert. Our migration team then handles everything - transferring data and closing your old account with no disruption to payroll or benefits. Your team keeps the exact same health insurance and will receive one consolidated W-2 at year end.

Other products give you software and a to-do list. We actually do all the work end-to-end with a mix of AI agents and humans. No more "Action required" emails about compliance at 11pm. Every customer also gets a dedicated support channel in Slack with real human experts who respond within 15 minutes.

Yes, most likely. We've seen every state notice imaginable and know exactly how to reduce/waive the fine. Please book a demo and tell us about it.

We only support companies incorporated in the US (LLCs, C-corps, S-corps). We don't support gambling, cannabis, and certain web3/crypto businesses (see next question).

It depends. We support Web3 infra and dev tools that do not issue tokens or handle cryptocurrency transactions.

For example: blockchain infrastructure providers, developer tools for decentralized applications, blockchain solutions for record-keeping and verification, and professional services supporting blockchain companies.

We DO NOT support companies involved in crypto trading, token issuance, or digital asset custody services due to our underlying payment providers. For example: companies trading crypto coins or tokens, decentralized exchanges or DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces with native tokens, crypto custody or wallet services, and meme coins or speculative assets.

Imagine you have 4 employees/contractors on Central but only pay 2 this month. You'll be billed for just 2 seats. We only charge for employees/contractors who receive a payment each month. This allows you to keep everyone on the platform without worrying about unused seats or complex billing.

All payroll, benefits, and government filing costs are passed through at cost. We don't add any markup. When Central registers your company in a state, you pay exactly the same fees as if you did it directly yourself.

Yes, you can add your accountants for free. We have native integrations with Quickbooks and Puzzle that have to be setup once and then work on autopilot. For NetSuite, Xero, and other accounting software, they will have to download CSV exports.

No. Central does not have a PEO. We offer similar advantages, like no compliance work and overhead, without the high seat cost, volatile benefits, lack of control and long onboarding times.

You can pay US employees and contractors in all 50 states and international contractors in 200+ non-sanctioned countries. We don't handle international employees and taxes yet, but work seamlessly alongside EOR providers.
