Virtual Captives

The virtual captive, also known as synthetic or hybrid captive, combines the strengths of both offshore captive center and outsourcing models. A captive center is an extension of the parent business; which it must build and manage entirely on its own. The virtual captive, on the other hand, utilizes the readily available expertise and resources of a service provider while enjoying the benefits of an offshore captive center: managerial control over staff selection, risks, and performance.

We will leverage our expertise of the local market to create a pool of candidates which you will have the option of screening yourself. Once the manpower is in place, we will simply set up the workstations and make any necessary upgrades. Everything from recruitment to operational management is a cooperative process between the client and MicroSourcing. This can prove highly beneficial for large projects that require attention to detail and thorough mitigation of risks. The virtual captive is fully transferable to the client/parent company at any point of the engagement. Overall, virtual captives are ideal for companies that want to set up large offshore projects without committing the time and resources necessary to set up their own captive subsidiary.

• Readily available infrastructure
• Shared risks between service provider and client
• Control over operations and staff selection
• Fast ramp-up time
• Fully transparent pricing
• Management fee separate from individual operational agreements
• Flexible work hours of offshore staff
• Secured intellectual property
• Expansion contractually encouraged

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.
