FAQ

5. What if we already expanded and things could be improved?

This is extremely common.

Our Fix & Optimize tier solves:

  • misclassification

  • payroll inconsistencies

  • Workday/local HRIS conflicts

  • compensation equity issues

  • leadership friction

  • cross-border communication gaps

  • structural misalignment

In most cases, the problem isn’t LATAM, it’s the structure created from the U.S.

We stabilize both.

4. How does Lumena work with our internal HR, Finance, and Legal teams?

We operate as a U.S.-based executive advisor who integrates into your existing structure.

Your internal teams remain decision-makers.We ensure their decisions are:

  • aligned with LATAM requirements

  • compliant

  • culturally sound

  • operationally scalable

No overwhelm. No duplicated work. No gaps.

3. Do we need to form an entity, or can we use EOR?

It depends on your long-term objectives.

  • EOR is ideal for quick hiring or test markets.

  • Entity formation is ideal for strategic, scalable growth.

  • Joint ventures are best when you need local ownership or industry expertise.

We recommend the structure that protects you legally, financially, and operationally not the one that sounds easiest.

2. What’s the biggest risk companies overlook in LATAM?

Compliance fragmentation. Every country, province, and even municipality has its own rules, payroll, tax, benefits, severance, hiring structures, and HRIS requirements.

Ignoring these creates:

  • misclassification exposure

  • tax liabilities

  • unenforceable contracts

  • stalled operations

  • costly rework

Our audits prevent six-figure mistakes before they happen.

1. How quickly can we launch or fix our LATAM operations?

Most companies can move faster than they think the delays come from misaligned processes, unclear structure, and compliance gaps.

With Lumena’s framework, we typically deliver:

  • Risk Audit: 10–14 days

  • Expansion Accelerator: 30–90 days

  • Fix & Optimize: depends on the level of misalignment, but major friction is often resolved within the first 30 days

Speed comes from clarity. Once we remove the guesswork, momentum is immediate.

Frequently asked questions

  • audits

  • frameworks

  • alignment

  • recommendations

  • implementation guides

Your team simply executes with clarity not confusion.
