• If they are not senior team, in such case : Base + Outcome Based (Revenue Linked) – Select only if they are interested without any hesitation.
• Employees when you hire, you may look at an outsourced model with any agency who may provide all the benefits like PF, Medical etc.,  Because you would be able to match all benefits like any other large enterprise.  Follow this model up to 20 people.  Later setup your own statutory systems. Until then don’t get into HR Admin hassles.
