Typical challenges that companies face when working to set up an offshore facility include: - Companies don’t know the different costs for setting up an offshore office leading to inaccurate budgets and over spending
- Companies underestimate the involvement needed in departments like HR, legal and finance leading to project delays and difficulties in establishing a working facility
- Mis-understanding of the hiring process and the time it takes
- Underestimation of the time it takes for items such as the office build out, infrastructure bidding, real estate searching, IT sourcing
- Lack of understanding the relation and dependencies of tasks in the setup process
Such challenges lead to companies over-spending and missed project deadlines which can result in costs anywhere between $10,000 to $100,000+ USD.
