How Turnkey Offshoring Works
Every Turnkey Offshoring partnership begins with a clear understanding of the business. The process looks at what the company is trying to accomplish, how the work currently moves, and where international talent can create meaningful support.
STEP 1:
Understand the Business
The process begins with a structured conversation with Michael to understand the company’s goals, operational challenges, and plans for growth. This provides a clearer view of where additional capacity or stronger systems could make the greatest difference.
STEP 2:
Review the Current Process
Turnkey reviews how work moves through the business and where delays or repetitive tasks are creating pressure. This may include identifying opportunities to improve workflows through better tools, automation, or AI-supported systems.
STEP 3:
Define the Right Team Structure
Once the operational needs are clear, Turnkey identifies the roles, skills, and software required to support the business. Each position is built around a defined purpose within the broader company structure.
STEP 4:
Build and Support the Team
Turnkey sources and screens qualified professionals who can work within the company’s existing systems and culture. After placement, Turnkey also provides local infrastructure, HR management, and ongoing support to help the employee become part of the team.

FAQs
What’s the difference between off-shoring and out-sourcing?
Traditional outsourcing usually means handing tasks to a third-party vendor who’s outside your business and culture. Turnkey Offshoring is different. We help you build a fully integrated team overseas — real employees who align with your values, understand your goals, and become a true extension of your U.S. team.
What hours will my offshore team work? (Can they match U.S. time zones?)
Most offshore employees in the Philippines are accustomed to working U.S. hours to align directly with their client’s timezone. We’ll build your team around whatever schedule works best for you. The time difference is typically 12 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time, which can actually be a big advantage when it comes to night, weekend, or holiday coverage.

Turnkey Offshoring’s consultations are straightforward and honest. We’ll take a close look at your business, identify which roles make sense to offshore (and which don’t), and talk through what success would actually look like. If we don’t think we’re the right fit — or if we don’t believe the role will succeed offshore — we’ll tell you. No pressure, no fluff. Just real advice to help you decide what’s best.
-
Turnkey Offshoring has built strong relationships with colleges, business hubs, and professional communities across the Philippines — especially in Davao City, where our team is based. Because we offer great pay, top-tier amenities, and a workplace culture people love, we’re able to attract and retain some of the best talent around. If you’re ever nearby, come say hi! You’re always welcome at our U.S. headquarters in Meriden, CT — or at our home base in Davao City.
-
Zero liability. Your offshore team members are officially employed through Turnkey Offshoring, so we handle all the legal, HR, and administrative responsibilities. You get all the benefits of having them operate like true members of your team — without the legal complexity or employer liability.
-
Our pricing is simple: We charge a small one-time implementation fee that covers our recruiting and workstation setup costs. Then you pay a flat monthly fee per offshore employee. That fee includes everything — salary, benefits, workspace, infrastructure, HR, compliance, and even employee perks. Typical top-tier talent in the Philippines is a fraction of the U.S. rates — often one-third to one-half the cost of a similar US employee. How do we make money? We build in a small margin to cover our overhead, team support, and infrastructure — just enough to keep improving while keeping things cost-effective for you.
-
Our offshore team members work in-person from our office in Davao City, Philippines. We’ve created a vibrant, well-equipped space with great amenities, strong culture, and tight-knit community — all designed to attract top talent and keep them engaged long-term. While we can support remote work in special cases, most of our clients prefer the security, reliability, professionalism, and camaraderie that comes with an in-office team. That said, if you'd prefer your employee to work from home, we can support that — and you'll see additional cost savings thanks to reduced overhead.
-
Security is one of the first things we plan for. Every offshore employee works under clear data security and AI policies, NDAs, and client-specific guidelines. Our office has reliable internet, power backups, CCTV, and on-site management to ensure a secure working environment. For added protection, we can help you set up VPNs, role-based access, or device-level restrictions — whatever level of security your business requires. We always encourage our clients to set up a call between your IT team and ours to make sure everything is buttoned up before your employee starts.
-
You can absolutely start with just one person. In fact, that’s how many of our clients begin. We’ll help you build the right role, get the right person in place, and make sure the systems are solid — then scale with you when you’re ready. The great news is that whether you have one person or ten, they’ll feel like part of a vibrant, supportive work culture in our office from day one.
-
We stand behind every placement — and if it’s not the right fit, we’ll make it right. If someone doesn’t work out, we’ll replace them quickly at no extra cost. There’s no official trial period, because we stay involved throughout the entire engagement to make sure everything’s working. If something feels off, we address it early. Our goal is to make sure you have the right person, in the right role, with the right support — period.
-
If your U.S. team is hitting capacity, struggling to hire affordably, or spending too much time on tasks that aren’t a good use of their talent — it might be time. You don’t need to have everything figured out. That’s what we’re here for. We’ll help you identify the right role, build a system that supports it, and make sure you’re set up for success.
-
Many of our clients are in the $2–$10M range and are building their first offshore hire to support a growing U.S. team. Others — especially in the $10–$50M range — bring us in to help a specific department design and build an offshore team to support that function or relieve a bottleneck. Whether you're starting small or scaling up a division, we only take on work we know we can deliver — and we stay hands-on to make sure it works.
-
English is widely spoken in the Philippines — it’s one of the country’s official languages and used in schools, business, and media. Most of our offshore team members speak English fluently and communicate clearly and professionally. Like anywhere in the world, there may be a mild accent, but it’s usually easy to understand and quickly becomes a non-issue. If English fluency or tone is especially important for the role, we’ll make that a priority in the hiring process.
-
Most of our clients use tools like Slack, Zoom, and email — just like they would with their U.S. team. We’ll help you set up a simple, effective communication rhythm based on how you already work. Whether it's daily check-ins, weekly team calls, or shared task boards, we’ll make sure you and your offshore team stay in sync from day one.
-
You’re never locked in - everything’s month to month. Whether you want to add more offshore support or scale back, we’ll work with you to adjust. We’re built to be flexible — just like your business needs to be.
-
That’s one of the biggest values of our consultation. We’ll walk through your team structure, workload, and goals — and help you identify the highest-impact starting point.
