Every offshore team is different. Your cost depends on the roles you hire, experience level, employment model, benefits, equipment, workspace, and the support your team requires.
Ascend helps you understand the full cost before you commit, so you can build an offshore operation that fits your goals and budget.
There is no one-size-fits-all price for building a team in the Philippines.
Your total cost may depend on:
Compensation varies based on the position, skill level, experience, and demand for the talent you need.
Businesses can begin with an Employer of Record or establish their own Philippine entity as the operation grows.
Your total investment may include employee benefits, technology, equipment, and other resources required for the role.
Your team can work remotely, hybrid, or from an office depending on your operational and security requirements.
Best for businesses that want to begin hiring quickly without establishing a Philippine legal entity.
The EOR employs your staff and manages areas such as payroll, benefits, employment compliance, and other local administrative requirements while your team works directly with your business.
Best for: Getting started quickly and building smaller or growing teams.
For larger or more established offshore operations, creating your own Philippine entity can provide greater control and stronger long-term cost efficiency.
Ascend can help with entity establishment, permitting, compliance, banking, workspace, and the infrastructure required to operate your own offshore organization.
Best for: Larger teams and businesses planning long-term offshore operations.
Many businesses begin with an EOR and transition to their own entity as the team grows.
Ascend helps you evaluate the roles you need, the appropriate employment model, and the expected costs of building your team in the Philippines.
You will have a clearer understanding of your investment before making hiring decisions.
