Frequently Asked Questions - European Market
Common questions from European businesses about offshore development
How do you ensure GDPR compliance and EU data protection with offshore teams?
Our offshore development teams maintain strict GDPR compliance with data processing agreements, EU data residency options, encrypted communications, and regular compliance audits. We implement privacy-by-design principles, data minimization, and right-to-erasure capabilities to meet all European data protection requirements.
What are the VAT and tax implications for European companies using offshore services?
Offshore development services may offer VAT and tax optimization opportunities compared to direct employment. Service contracts typically qualify as deductible business expenses, potentially reducing corporate tax burden. VAT treatment varies by EU jurisdiction, but services to business customers often benefit from reverse charge mechanisms. We recommend consulting your tax advisor for jurisdiction-specific guidance.
How do you handle European time zone collaboration and business hours?
We coordinate strategically with European business hours for optimal collaboration. Central European Time (CET) aligns well with Philippines afternoon hours, providing 6-8 hours of overlap. This enables morning European meetings, real-time collaboration, and extended coverage for critical projects without the coordination challenges of other offshore locations.
What are the EU employment law advantages of offshore development teams?
Offshore development teams eliminate EU employment law complexities entirely. You avoid social security contributions (20-40% in most EU countries), complex labor regulations, employment protection costs, and termination restrictions. This provides significant legal protection and administrative simplification for European companies.
How do your developers compare to Nordic and Swiss quality standards?
Our AI-enhanced developers undergo rigorous screening comparable to Nordic and Swiss standards. They work with enterprise technologies, follow European quality frameworks, and understand European business culture. You get Nordic/Swiss-caliber talent at 60-70% cost savings with the same technical expertise and attention to quality.
Which European countries do you primarily serve?
We primarily serve Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and Switzerland. Our developers are trained in European business practices and have experience with country-specific regulatory requirements, quality standards, and communication styles for seamless integration with European teams.
How quickly can you deploy teams for European companies?
We can deploy AI-enhanced development teams for European companies within 2-4 weeks, significantly faster than local hiring which typically takes 3-6 months. Our Europe-specific onboarding includes GDPR compliance briefing, European business culture training, time zone coordination, and integration with European business practices and tools.
