Nearshoring to Colombia: Build Your Own Colombian Team
Optimize your workload with specialized Colombian talent. Consulting for companies looking to leverage the advantages of nearshoring in Colombia: competitive costs, qualified talent, and a strategic location.
Leverage the Advantages of Nearshoring in Colombia
Our Logistics and Nearshoring service helps foreign companies (primarily U.S.-based) optimize operations by establishing or expanding their presence in Colombia. Colombian nearshoring offers unique competitive advantages: highly qualified talent, competitive labor costs, the same time zone as the U.S. (EST), economic stability, and a strategic location for access to Latin American markets.
We help you assess the feasibility of nearshoring for your operation, design the optimal legal and tax structure, identify specialized Colombian talent, and establish processes that maximize operational efficiency. We do not only advise: we implement end-to-end accounting, payroll, and compliance solutions for your nearshoring operations.
Your Own Colombian Team, Not an Outsourcing Vendor
There are two ways to nearshore to Colombia. One is to hire a vendor that lends you people. The other is to set up your own Colombian company and hire your own team, with your processes and your culture. We work on the second: we design the structure, incorporate the Colombian entity, and manage its accounting, payroll and labor compliance, so the team is yours and the administration is not.
It is the model behind the companies we have supported for years, which grew their Colombian teams from a handful of people to dozens, while the head office kept full control of the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is nearshoring to Colombia the same as outsourcing?
Not in our model. Outsourcing usually means renting people from a vendor. Nearshoring with Besitz means your own Colombian entity and your own team; we handle the incorporation, accounting, payroll and compliance behind it.
Why Colombia for nearshoring?
Qualified talent in engineering, technology, accounting and logistics, and the same time zone as the US East Coast, which allows real-time collaboration.
Do I need to incorporate a company in Colombia?
Not always. Depending on the size and plans of the operation, the structure can be a subsidiary, a branch or another model. We assess it with you before incorporating anything.
