Deel, the startup dedicated to providing payroll, compliance tools, and other services for businesses to navigate cross-border employment more seamlessly, has secured $30 million in fresh funding.

Historically, this has been a challenging task. Companies would either need to establish local entities or work with local legal teams to ensure compliance.
