Build Operate Transfer

Build Operate Transfer is an outsourcing delivery model in which a parent organization sets up an offshore operation with the help of a third party vendor who is tasked with: building the facility, hiring offshore staff, and overseeing operations. After a certain amount of time in which the operation proves stable and productive, the client will have the option of completely taking over. In effect, a BOT agreement is much like a fully transferable virtual captive. This model is ideal for clients that require the expertise of a local vendor to mitigate the legal and financial risks of setting up a business in a foreign country.

Setting up a BOT operation with MicroSourcing involves our standard staff leasing model in which we will coordinate with clients to customize a recruitment process before setting up the necessary infrastructure. In most cases, workstations will already be available and it will only be a matter of upgrading hardware or software if necessary. Clients will be able to retain managerial control throughout the engagement before it is transferred and it becomes fully owned by the client.

• Direct Control - You will enjoy the benefits of a third party service provider while being able to retain managerial control over all operations.
• Costs - Our pricing is 100% transparent and is among the lowest in the industry.
• Local Expertise - Setting up an operation in a foreign country implies significant legal and financial risks which are minimized when hiring a services provider such as MicroSourcing.
• Consultation - We can provide consultation services regarding local rules and regulations of foreign ownership, corporate structures, corporate entity types, tax legislation, and all other aspects of founding and operating a Filipino company.
• Fast Ramp-up Time - The "Build" phase is, in most cases, limited to upgrades and space allocation with readily available infrastructure.
• Low risk trial - The BOT model grants you the ability to assess and experiment with minimal risks before committing to a fully owned offshore operation.
• MicroSourcing Management - In general, we can keep on operating even after the Transfer phase with the only difference being that you own the operation and are paying all direct costs.

• Build - Using our standard staff leasing model, we will get things started. We will analyze your HR requirements and take care of recruitment and selection. We will allocate the necessary office space, workstations, and connectivity, and build up your offshore team in close cooperation with you.
• Operate - This phase will also follow our regular offshore staffing model. Once all assets are in place, your offshore team can go live. We will provide HR support, technical support, and operations management. In short: we will do what is necessary to ensure a smooth operating offshore team.
• Transfer - During the Operate phase, Build phase or perhaps even before that, you would have started the incorporation procedure. By the time you got all your business permits, you would have been able to set up your office space, workstations, and other infrastructure. Once you are ready, we can execute the transfer and you can take over all the manpower and other assets that are part of our BOT agreement.

We use a very simple and completely transparent pricing structure whereby we will charge you per full-time employee (FTE) per month using the following formula:

Cost per month per FTE = (salary and benefits) + management fee

This simple cost structure will give you full control over your costs and you will be allowed to directly negotiate salary and benefits with candidates before you select them for your project. This immediately takes away one of the biggest conflicts of interest in the outsourcing industry: providers trying to hire people at the lowest possible salaries and then billing them out at the highest possible rates. Our model assures affordable offshore staff leasing with no such conflict of interest: our management fee is fixed regardless of employee salary and benefits. All the pricing details are given in the pricing section.
