Lundi supports compliant employment in Bulgaria — Sofia for tech and SSC, Plovdiv as a secondary hub. Strong fit for cost-driven SSC, engineering, and finance operations at meaningfully lower cost than Romania or Poland. For EU compliance plus broader senior talent depth, Poland typically wins.
Bulgaria offers some of the EU's lowest unit costs for SSC, engineering, and finance operations — corporate income tax is 10% (flat, one of EU's lowest), and labour costs run roughly 25–30% below Poland or Romania. Sofia concentrates the senior talent, with Plovdiv as a secondary hub. Bulgarian lev (BGN) is the local currency, pegged to the euro. Strong fit for cost-driven SSC, finance, and engineering operations within EU compliance perimeter. For broader senior talent depth and ecosystem maturity, Poland or Romania typically offer better quality at modestly higher cost. For companies building teams of 10+, not individual hires.
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

The notice period for either party is usually one month, but it can be up to three months. All notice periods should be provided in the employment agreement.
Employees in Bulgaria can resign without complying with the notice period but will forfeit any notice payment.
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
