Choosing Between Global Mobility, Company Formation and Alumni Placement

3 min read

Each Workium Business workspace solves a different problem. This guide explains who each one is for, the typical use-cases, and how to decide which to start with.

Choosing Your Workium Business Workspace

Workium Business uses single-service entitlement: you pick the workspace that matches your most pressing need at signup. This guide helps you decide.

Global Mobility — Pick This If…

You already employ international workers OR you plan to within the next 6 months
Your team is responsible for sponsorship, visa filings, RTW checks, or visa renewals
You operate in two or more European/UK jurisdictions and need a single source of truth
You need salary-threshold checks against current published figures (2024-2025 minimums)
You hold (or plan to hold) a UK Sponsor Licence and need to track CoS allocation

What you get inside Mobility:

Cases (employee-by-employee visa pipelines)
Eligibility Wizard (multi-country scoring)
Sponsor Licences (15-country registry, allocation tracking, A/B rating for UK)
Permits / CoS workflow (covers UK CoS, German Vorabzustimmung, Irish Employment Permit, etc.)
Renewal Scheduler (lead-time aware: 60 or 90 days per country)
Salary-Threshold Checker (annual normalisation, currency-mismatch detection)
Compliance tab (visa alerts, document expiry, RTW status)
Team and Analytics (people and KPIs scoped to mobility only)

Company Formation — Pick This If…

You need to incorporate a new entity in Europe before you can hire or invoice
You are a non-EU founder setting up your first European company
You need an Irish, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Estonian or UK entity (LTD, Limited, PLC, or LLP)
You want a guided wizard rather than navigating each country's company-house portal
You want add-ons like UK Proof of Address (£49), Logo Design (£30), or Confirmation Statement filing (£100/yr)

What you get inside Formation:

4-step wizard (Company → Owners → Address → Order summary)
Country-specific dynamic forms for each jurisdiction
Drafts auto-saved as you type
Stripe and Paystack checkout with branded PDF receipt
Order tracking through to incorporation

Alumni Job Placement — Pick This If…

You operate a coding bootcamp, university programme or training institute
Your graduates target UK Skilled Worker or Germany EU Blue Card roles
You want a Workium caseworker to evaluate eligibility, build CVs, match to employers, and manage the offer process
You charge a placement fee and want clean billing infrastructure

What you get inside Alumni:

Alumni roster (cohort upload via CSV, individual creation)
14-stage caseworker pipeline (matching the agency UK Skilled Worker funnel)
CV upload to Wasabi (PDF/DOC/DOCX up to 10 MB)
Caseworker assignment and journey tracking
Placement fee checkout

Decision Matrix

Hiring abroad and need visas → Global Mobility
Setting up a European entity → Company Formation
Placing graduates into international roles → Alumni Job Placement

Can I Have More Than One?

Yes — but only by request. Email sales@workium.co.uk and our team will enable a second workspace within 48 hours. There is no extra base fee for additional workspaces; you only pay for actions inside each one (formations, placement fees, etc.).

Not Sure? Book a Discovery Call
