Running your local operation until it's ready to transfer into your ownership.
01
As part of our Build Operate Transfer model, we recruit and assemble a high-calibre dedicated team tailored to your business objectives. We secure and equip the ideal office environment, implement compliant HR and finance processes, and establish reliable back-office infrastructure. This creates the strong operational foundation required for a scalable, high-performing nearshore delivery centre in Europe.
02
During the operate phase of our BOT outsourcing model, we launch and manage the operation with precision and accountability. Our team oversees end-to-end service delivery, ensuring consistent performance, quality standards, productivity, and team engagement. Through continuous monitoring, governance, and proactive optimisation, we refine the operation over time to maximise long-term value.
03
When the business is ready, we execute a structured transition under our nearshore BOT Europe framework. We transfer people, processes, operational knowledge, systems, and assets through a carefully managed handover process. With hands-on support throughout the transition, we ensure continuity, stability, and a seamless move to your full ownership and control.
BOT Model is a structured way to establish your own engineering operation in Portugal without the risk of doing it alone from day one. We build the team, set up the infrastructure, and run operations on your behalf for an agreed period. Once the operation is stable and mature, full ownership transfers to you, people, contracts, office and all.
The build and operate phase typically runs 12 to 24 months, depending on team size and complexity. Transfer is structured around agreed milestones, not arbitrary timelines; the handover happens when the operation is genuinely ready.
It’s designed precisely for that scenario. BOT removes the need for prior local knowledge; we bring the infrastructure, legal, HR and talent networks. You bring the product vision and technical direction.
Setting up a legal entity in a new country, hiring locally, managing compliance, and building culture from scratch takes significant time, money, and local expertise, and most of the risk sits with you from day one. With BOT, we absorb the setup risk and operational complexity while the operation matures. You end up with the same result, a fully owned engineering presence in Portugal, but with far less exposure during the build phase.
Everything. The team, employment contracts, operational processes, office setup, and institutional knowledge built during the operation phase all transfer to your ownership. We can also provide transition support to ensure continuity of post-transfer.
