Following extensive market research and a number of successful business ventures by our Australian owned parent company in the past, we selected the major financial center of Cebu in the Philippines as our location of choice to base Scale. For our existing Australian clientele, the benefits are immediately obvious. With the same time zone as Perth (WA) and only a two-hour time difference to Australia’s east coast, the Philippines offer ease of accessibility as well as a source of high quality employees, first class English language skills and salary costs at only a fraction of those domestically. For our Australian and international clients alike, the benefits are also demonstrated by the fact that the Philippines is renowned as the world’s second largest offshoring service provider with vast industry maturity and capability already proven in the offshoring of western business, has a similar culture to that of the US (it was a US colony for 50 years) and the positive work ethic displayed by the Filipino people who are very welcoming to western business and receptive to the possibility of employment.
Additional benefits of having an Australian company with offices in Perth (Western Australia) and Cebu (Philippines) manage your offshored business include the following:
- Both Australia and the Philippines have a full and mutual understanding of western
business culture and common business practice. - The rate of growth in the offshoring market of the Philippines is greater than in any other location and Australia stands as the logical neighbor to take an influential role in the industry’s future growth and development.
- Australia is consistently ranked among the strongest global economies and offers a very stable political climate. This gives clients the security of knowing that their business risks are comparably lower than they might be in other countries.
- Both countries speak English and have it as an official language.
- The Philippines is very accessible for the Australian management team and any issues can be readily addressed via video conference or a short flight.
- Communication and understanding between Scale employees in Australia and their Filipino counterparts is unhindered and contributes to greater reliability and business transparency.
- Many of the world’s largest multinational corporations have selected the Philippines as their preferred offshored location, which offers reliable information that a great deal of due diligence has already been undertaken by some of the world’s best economists and commercial analysts. Our clients can rest easily when in agreement with the abundance of experts who all decided upon the Philippines as their employing corporation’s first choice of base to offshore their own operations.
- Scale employees are under constant supervision by both of our management teams in Australia and the Philippines.
- Risks in conducting business are managed more effectively and this helps to ensure there are no “hidden surprises” when conducting business negotiations and transaction.
- Client peace of mind knowing that your business is being looked after by a team of experts who have your business interests and privacy in mind at all times.
