Looking to establish your own offshore outsourcing operation? Many businesses want the control and long-term value of owning their own offshore outsourcing entity, but without the hassle of setting it up from scratch. Ryoss’ International Business Office (IBO) model solves this challenge with a complete, done-for-you setup.
This is a flexible model where you can choose how involved you would like us to be in the set-up of your business.
What is an International Business Office
The International Business Office (IBO) model is a fully managed, end-to-end solution for businesses wanting to establish a self-sustaining outsourcing operation in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia or Vietnam. Unlike traditional consulting or BPO services, IBO builds your entire business infrastructure, from legal incorporation to operational tools, staffing, and compliance frameworks.
You own it. We build it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding How Ryoss Group Can Drive Your Success
How long does it take to fully launch an IBO operation?
Timelines vary based on complexity, but most IBO projects are up and running within 60 to 90 days. This includes incorporation, setup, staffing, and systems implementation. In many cases, your team can be operational within the first month, with full transition completed shortly thereafter.
Will the offshore business be legally mine from day one?
Yes. From incorporation to infrastructure, Ryoss builds everything in your name. Once the operation is launched, full ownership, including the entity, systems, IP, contracts, and staff is legally transferred to you. You’re not renting a service, you own the business.
Do I need experience running an offshore team or business to use IBO?
Not at all. That’s precisely why the IBO model exists. Ryoss brings all the legal, operational, and compliance expertise required, so you don’t have to start from scratch. We help you avoid mistakes, skip the learning curve, and step into a well-oiled operation from day one.
What kind of support does Ryoss offer after handover?
Our support doesn’t end at launch. Many clients choose to keep Ryoss involved post-handover for ongoing compliance management, IT support, HR and recruitment advisory, and strategic guidance as their business grows. We can act as an extension of your leadership team for as long as needed.
How flexible is the IBO model? Can I tailor it to my needs?
Very. IBO is fully customisable, whether you want us to handle everything end-to-end or just specific components. We tailor the setup to match your sector, goals, and growth stage. You can scale up or down, choose your own tools, and define your operating model from the outset.
How does IBO compare to using a traditional BPO or freelancer platform?
IBO gives you ownership, control, and strategic value. Traditional BPOs offer temporary, third-party services with limited oversight. With IBO, you get your own legally registered entity, customised processes, directly hired staff, and systems built around your business. It’s a long-term asset, not just a short-term service.
