Cut Your Costs, Not Your Standards
With labor costs soaring and talent in short supply, scaling locally isn’t your only option. Offshore staffing is how smart businesses stay competitive.
Build high-performing teams in the Philippines and save up to 70% on total staffing spend — often enough to hire three offshore specialists for the cost of one local role.
With Satellite Office, you get:
-
Significant savings: reduce staffing costs by up to 70% without compromising quality
-
Fast setup: fill roles and have your team running in as little as three weeks
-
Full support: payroll, HR, IT, and facilities all managed in one simple monthly invoice
Those savings unlock real growth – freeing up budget for new hires, better systems, or product innovation.
How Our Pricing Works
Hiring locally costs more than you think — once you add super, payroll tax, recruitment, workspace, IT, and HR, the true cost can be 25–40% higher than base salary.
With Satellite Office, you get transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden extras:
- The employee’s full cost: salary, benefits, insurance, entitlements, and compliance
- Our solution fee: which includes recruitment, payroll, HR, IT infrastructure, workspace, and ongoing support
Our clients save 65–70% on total staffing costs, with every dollar accounted for. No line-item surprises, no chasing vendors — just total clarity from day one.

work-from-home vs work-from-office cost options
What Model Do I Choose?
While both work-from-office (WFO) and work-from-home (WFH) setups offer cost advantages compared to onshore teams, there are differences to consider when budgeting your offshore strategy.
At Satellite Office, we can help you compare the options based on your goals, risk appetite, and budget — and even design a hybrid model that balances savings with performance.

Work-From-Office (WFO):
- Includes office space, utilities, and facilities management.
- Offers a secure environment with enterprise-grade IT, ISO-certified data protection, and a more consistent employee experience.
- Higher ongoing costs compared to WFH, but can result in stronger team cohesion, culture, retention, and productivity, particularly for large teams.
- Allows for additional physical security oversight with 24/7 on site security, clean desk policy implementation, biometric security access, and dedicated secure office spaces.
Work-From-Home (WFH):
- Typically, lower ongoing costs, as there’s no office space or facilities to maintain.
- Access to the same enterprise-grade IT, ISO-certified data protection via remote access, plus we evaluate home office working spaces for all remote staff to ensure effectiveness and connectivity.
- Increased location flexibility for team members via WFH or hybrid arrangements

Hidden Savings You Might Miss
Savings get the spotlight, but the biggest gains often happen behind the scenes. We help clients unlock value in the way teams are hired, retained, equipped, and supported over time.
Filling roles can take as little as three weeks, so teams can ramp and be productive quickly. And with attrition as low as 21%, you avoid the cost and disruption of rehiring and retraining.
There’s no need to lease more office space or invest in extra IT – this is included in the Satellite Office model. And with 24/7 shift coverage available, you can extend output without adding overtime or local headcount.
Our flexible model lets you scale up or down when you need to, so you never pay for idle seats or outgrow your infrastructure. These operational advantages often deliver as much value as the headline salary savings.
Risk and Quality Safeguards
Outsourcing delivers real savings only when built on trust, structure, and high standards — and that’s where we excel.
We’re ISO 27001 certified, with a 24/7 Security Operations Centre protecting your data, systems, and IP. Our managers uphold global standards, ensuring consistent performance and accountability across every team.
Ongoing training keeps offshore staff aligned with your culture long term — not just at onboarding.
We’re also a Great Place to Work® and one of the Best Employers in the Philippines, with a five-year average staff tenure. That means you’re not just saving money — you’re building a team that stays.
When it comes to quality, we don’t cut corners — we build confidence at every step.
It’s based on real client outcomes across common roles like CX, finance, marketing, and IT. Exact savings vary by role, but 65–70% is a reliable benchmark.
Roles with a high admin or process component, like customer service, accounts payable, digital marketing, and IT support, tend to offer the biggest cost advantage.
