Challenge	Securex, a Belgium-based provider of social-services management, helps small and medium-sized companies with payroll, HR, and other social-management tasks.

But for smaller enterprises and independent contractors, maintaining compliance with government payroll regulations involves navigating through a bureaucratic maze. This difficulty supplies a burgeoning market for Securex, a provider of social-services management based in Belgium that helps small and medium-sized companies. Securex currently has 26,000 clients, and 73 percent of its customer base consists of companies with fewer than five workers. Read More
