The world and workforce today is a changing landscape. In 2025, it is predicted that 70% of global GDP growth will come from emerging markets.
Thanks to the advancement of technology, we are able to reach people in seconds as opposed to days – given this context, companies, especially those in developed countries, are expanding beyond their national borders today.
As the pursuit of cost efficiencies is also the driving force behind international expansion, it has become the top reason for global expansion, as agreed by 19% of surveyed respondents in an annual report by Thomson Reuters. Business cost reduction, more efficient logistics, and increased customer satisfaction are among other reasons for expanding internationally.1
While opening a new office is a great achievement that comes with a lot of new opportunities, it can also be costly for businesses since there can be many associated expenses to be considered.
As an example, setting up a new overseas business entity could rack up expensive fees by just registering your company. In addition to that, business owners need to consider compliance costs, tax rates, and ongoing maintenance costs of the entity.
Besides this, staffing and relocation may pose another challenge – if you are considering relocating some of your existing employees, there are costs to be accounted for such as immigration visas, accommodation, transportation, language training, and the cost of living.
More expensive locations may also require you to boost your staff’s salary to keep up with the minimum local remuneration norms. And finally, finding and renting premises in a new foreign land may also demand high prices for office and retail space.2
Considering all these costs involved, it may come across as a better cost-saving alternative to consider engaging Employer of Record companies to hire staff internationally.
