Why an offshore office

Skip the entity, lease and HR. Keep the control.

Setting up your own company and office in India gives you control, but it means legal, real estate and hiring work before anyone starts. Our offshore office setup gives you the same control and visibility, without the overhead.

Setting up your own entity in India

  • Company registration, local directors and ongoing filings
  • Lease talks, deposits and fit-out before anyone starts work
  • Local HR, payroll and labour compliance built from scratch
  • IT, security, power backup and internet to source yourself
  • Recruiting with no local network or employer brand
  • A long wait between decision and your first productive day

  • Payroll, HR, benefits and compliance handled for you
  • Teams live in about two weeks, with one monthly invoice

Offshore office setup in India, done for you

Offshore office setup normally means a long list of work before anyone does a day's job: registering a company in India, finding and leasing offshore office space, hiring local HR and building IT from zero. With The Remote Staff, you skip all of it. We set up a dedicated offshore office for your team and run it day to day, while your brand, culture and processes run inside it.

What a dedicated offshore office includes

  • A workspace under your brand. Office space or a secure remote setup for your team, set up as yours, so people feel part of your company.
  • IT and security. Laptops and devices, software licences and security, and IT set up on your own tools.
  • Utilities that keep going. Power and internet backup, so work doesn't stop.
  • People operations. Recruitment, payroll, HR, benefits and compliance. Your staff are employed by The Remote Staff and work only for you.
  • One point of contact. An account manager, daily reports and one monthly invoice.

How the offshore team setup works

We start with planning: the roles you need, how fast you want to grow and how you want the office to run. We agree the office setup timeline with you at this stage. Hiring runs alongside it. You get pre-vetted profiles within 48 hours, interview for free and pay only when you hire. Teams typically go live in about two weeks, and you scale from there.

Who it suits

A branded offshore office suits companies planning a larger team, roughly 10 people or more, who want full control and visibility. Think of a product company building an offshore development center, a support operation that wants its own branded team, or a business moving a whole function to India. You set the culture, the processes and the daily priorities. We keep the office, the people operations and the compliance running.

When not to choose it

If you need one to five people, a full office is more than you need. Dedicated offshore staff gives you full-time people on your tools with less overhead, and you can grow into an office later. If you don't want to manage the daily work at all, a fully managed team fits better: we run the team and you set goals at outcome level.

How it differs from the other ways to hire

With dedicated offshore staff, you direct individual hires. With a managed team, we direct the work for you. With your own offshore office, you get the most control: a branded office and team in India that runs your way, without registering a company, signing a lease or hiring local HR. Whichever way you hire, payroll, HR and compliance are handled by us.

In their words

Teams that stopped managing vendors

“The team they brought on board are excellent. They work autonomously, they're always responsive, and the quality has been consistent for two years now.”

Adil R.Founder & CEO · Retail group, Dubai

“We'd tried freelancers and two agencies before this. The difference is accountability — one person we call, and it gets handled.”

Laura M.COO · Logistics firm, Manchester

“Our first two hires are still with us after three years. That retention is the part nobody else could promise.”

Dev K.Managing Director · Consultancy, Sydney

You don't need your own entity. The Remote Staff is the employer and runs the office, so you skip company registration, lease contracts and local HR. We set up the workspace, IT, security and utilities, recruit your team and handle payroll, HR and compliance. Your brand, culture and processes run inside the office, and you get one monthly invoice.

An offshore development center is usually an offshore office focused on software and engineering. Our offshore office model works for any function, from development and QA to support, sales, marketing, finance or operations. The setup is the same: a dedicated, branded office and team in India that works only for you, with the office, payroll and HR run by The Remote Staff.

It usually makes sense from roughly 10 people, or when you plan to grow to that size soon. Below that, dedicated offshore staff gives you full-time people with less overhead. Teams can scale from one hire to 30 or more, and one client team grew from 3 to 23 people, so you can start smaller and grow into a full office.

Teams typically go live in about two weeks. The full office setup timeline depends on your team size and requirements, so we agree it with you during planning. Recruitment runs alongside setup: you get pre-vetted profiles within 48 hours, interview for free and pay only when you hire, so hiring never waits for the office.

Yes. The office is set up as your team's space, with your brand, culture and ways of working. Your staff work only for you, use your tools and follow your processes. They are employed by The Remote Staff, which handles payroll, HR, benefits and compliance in the background, so your team feels like part of your company from day one.

You do. This model is built for companies that want full control and visibility. You set priorities, run meetings and manage performance your way. We run everything around the work: the workspace, IT, security, power and internet backup, payroll and HR. If you would rather we manage the work for you, a fully managed team is the better option.

We don't publish fixed prices because every office is planned around your roles and team size. As a guide, clients save up to 70% compared with a local hire. There is no setup fee, interviews are free and you pay only when you hire. You get one monthly invoice for your whole team, and you can cancel monthly.
