Though it is a thing that can be handled by Umbrella-corporation-as-a-Service such as Remote.com - that is their whole business model. (Not cheap though - $7k per employee per year.)

it can handle part of it, it doesn't solve for a lot of things around compliance and risk. They might help you understand local compliance, but the business still needs to be actually compliant. Just look at the mess Twitter got into trying to downsize their international operations. If you're an american startup, then you have to balance the tradeoff of risk in having international staff that might require considerable thought in managing them, vs having a single compliance profile.
