While you grow,  we know your company can easily face the challenge of continuing operations and scaling, with the confidence of working with the most qualified team. Any leakage in that aspect, can lead your company to fail or have reprocesses, expressed in money. That’s when nearshoring  makes sense for you.

Hiring an external company in a nearby country can solve that issue. Therefore, the United States and Canada represent the largest source of outsourcing initiatives around the world, which is why nearshoring is an opportunity to improve any business project. Considering  the benefits of  proximity, shared time zone, cultural similarities, and money saving in terms of the hiring and onboarding process; it is a great option to consider.

Specially in Colombia, this kind of deals between companies, have been taking a big relevance during the past 10 years. According to the director of AmCham Colombia (American Chamber of Commerce), María Claudia Lacouture, almost 450 U.S. companies in Colombia generate around 100 thousand direct and indirect jobs. Between 2010 and 2020, foreign direct investment from the U.S. to the country amounted to US$25,148 million, 17.7% of the total investment that came to the country in that decade. Sector based, 30% of the nearshoring projects are in 4.0 industries.
