For companies who are considering going remote have you considered the "global" problems you may have (e.g. payroll, local compliance laws - holidays etc.) ?

Do you have solutions for them?

There's a cost for most businesses to being in different countries. Typically, for larger businesses, finance and HR pick up most of the slack here. Having 17 employees potentially in 17 different companies feels like it might be a bit of a logistical burden. Any counter experiences?

Within the US, you can use someone like TriNet to handle employees in all 50 states. Companies like http://balsamiq.com/company/ are all over the world. From what I understand, people often get paid as contractors and have to deal with local tax laws on their own. If you end up hiring people as employees in all the countries, I think it gets a bit tricky. I'd love to know if there are other good ways to do this.
