Why Choose BOT with KMC?
KMC’s BOT and Assisted Entry model is designed for high-growth SaaS, tech, cybersecurity and e-commerce companies that demand end-to-end execution and flexibility. With KMC, you get:
Complete, Turnkey Support:
We handle it all. KMC covers entity formation, office fitout, IT infrastructure, staffing, HR, payroll and compliance from day one. (Other BOT providers may exclude training or project management – we include them.) You never juggle vendors or surprise fees; KMC is your single point of accountability.
Deep Local Expertise
KMC was born in the Philippines. We operate 30+ modern, Tier-3 capable campuses nationwide and manage 5,000+ Filipino professionals. This scale lets you tap into the rich Philippines talent pool faster (our average hire time is just 30 days) while we navigate all local regulations on your behalf.
Human-First Approach
We invest in people and culture. KMC’s award-winning workplace (Top 50 Best in Asia) means our teams are motivated and stable – we achieve ~86% retention on average. Your brand’s mission and values are embedded into every hire through structured onboarding and mentorship, so overseas staff truly feel part of your company.
Full Control, No Surprises
Unlike purely outsourcing contracts, KMC’s BOT model gives you 100% ownership from the start. There are no hidden “conversion” fees at handover. We share real-time reports and invite you into every decision. You’ll have governance dashboards and direct contacts at KMC, so you see performance metrics and compliance updates at any time.
Strategic Partnership
We don’t just execute a playbook – we act as your strategic ally. Our leadership works closely with yours on location strategy, operational best practices, and talent planning. KMC champions your goals as if they were our own. (In fact, our clients often comment that KMC functions like their Philippines HQ team, not a distant vendor)
Each of these factors makes KMC the complete BOT partner, not just a partial solution. We combine the agility of a challenger brand with the premium service of an enterprise provider – you get best-in-class support without compromising your independence.
How Our BOT and Assisted Entry Model Works
KMC offers two related models:
- Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT): We build your new Philippines center from the ground up, operate it to maturity, then transfer it to you. This creates a true captive center under your ownership.
- Assisted Entry (EOR): We act as your legal employer and operate the center indefinitely. You gain immediate team capacity without forming a local entity, and can still transition to full ownership anytime.
In practice, the phases look like this:
- Plan & Build: We register your company, secure approvals, lease office space, and set up infrastructure. Our in-house legal experts and project managers navigate all permits and contracts. Within weeks, you have a functioning Filipino entity and workspace (offices or hybrid) tailored to your needs.
- Recruit & Onboard: KMC’s recruiters define roles with you and run the hiring process end-to-end. We leverage AI-driven sourcing and our deep local networks to find and vet candidates. Each hire goes through comprehensive onboarding and training in your tools and culture, while KMC sets up payroll and benefits.
- Operate & Optimize: KMC manages day-to-day operations under agreed SLAs. We provide on-site management, IT support, HR administration, and continuous performance tracking. Our team works 24/7 if needed, optimizing workflows and upskilling staff so the unit runs like a native branch of your company. You receive regular reports and can fully participate in management.
- Transfer: When you decide the center is ready (often after a set term or when strategic goals are met), KMC facilitates a smooth handover. We transfer all contracts, assets, and IP – and crucially all the know-how – to your control. From that moment, you “fully own the offshore operations” as your Philippine subsidiary. There is no downtime or loss of talent in this transition.
(For Assisted Entry clients, the “transfer” step is optional – you simply continue growing under KMC’s EOR umbrella until you’re ready to form your own entity or spin off the operation.)
Unlike one-off outsourcing, KMC makes offshore expansion predictable. Our proven BOT flow takes you from zero to scale in record time, with full transparency and contingency planning at each step.
Comprehensive Support at Every Step
At KMC, full-stack support means we become your dedicated Philippines HQ. We manage every operational detail so you don’t have to. From day one, every aspect is covered:
Recruitment & Talent
We build teams tailored to your technology and culture requirements. Our in-house recruiters use advanced AI sourcing alongside local expertise to fill roles fast (30-day average to hire). All candidates are fully vetted by us.
HR, Payroll & Benefits
As your Employer of Record, KMC handles all payroll, benefits, local tax and labor filings. Our internal legal/compliance team ensures every hire is compliant with Philippine laws (no surprises with labor regulations or taxes).
Offices & IT
We provide turnkey workspace solutions – furnished offices with high-speed redundant networks, backup power, and meeting facilities. Every employee gets hardware (laptops, headsets, etc.) and secure connectivity. Our IT team provides 24/7 support and maintains enterprise-grade security.
Compliance & Governance
KMC enforces a comprehensive compliance program. We register the company for all required permits (tax ID, SEC, local permits, etc.), maintain insurance, and schedule regular audits. Our experts ensure you meet international security standards and data protection laws, keeping your intellectual property safe.
Culture & Training
We don’t treat your offshore center as a faceless labor pool. KMC’s on-site managers and HR staff infuse your company’s values through structured onboarding, training programs, and cultural events. This human-first approach yields high engagement and retention (our teams routinely outperform industry norms).
Performance & Transition
We establish KPIs from the start and share progress in dashboards you can view anytime. When it’s time to transfer, KMC conducts formal knowledge handover – documentation, training manuals, and client meetings – so you take over a fully ramped, well-documented operation with zero disruption.
With KMC’s comprehensive support, you’re never “outsourcing” alone. Think of us as your extension team on the ground in Manila – handling every support function so your leadership can focus on core strategy.
KMC’s Unique Strengths as a BOT Partner
KMC is not just another service provider – we are your strategic partner in expansion. Our unique strengths set us apart from any typical BOT or outsourcing firm:
True Local Footprint
We pioneered flexible workspaces in the Philippines and operate30+ centers across major cities. Whether you want everyone on-site or a mix of remote work, KMC can place your team where it makes sense. Our scale also means redundancies: if one site has issues, we can seamlessly shift operations.
In-House Expertise
All key services are owned by KMC. Our recruiters, accountants, legal counsel, IT engineers and on-site managers are all full-time KMC staff. There are no third-party contractors to coordinate. This results in higher quality control and faster response – clients frequently remark that it feels like KMC has become their own branch office.
Culture & People-First
We’ve built one of the Top 50 workplaces in Asia. This commitment to employees means lower turnover for you: clients see consistently high productivity and morale. We also put customers first – every KMC account has a dedicated expansion consultant and support team who live by our motto: “Your expansion, our obsession.”
Tech-Enabled Agility
Our investment in technology (AI recruitment tools, cloud HR systems, analytics) accelerates every phase. For example, we leverage AI to identify talent patterns and optimize sourcing. You get the benefit of a cutting-edge approach that many legacy BPOs cannot match.
Flexibility & Transparency
As a challenger brand, we flex to your needs. Want to change headcount mid-term? No problem. If you decide later to take a different path, KMC adapts. Our financial model is straightforward – costs are tied to headcount and a flat management fee, with no hidden BOT “conversion” add-ons .You’ll know exactly how your investment is driving growth.
In short, KMC brings scale, security, and personalization to your BOT journey. Unlike pure EOR platforms (which lack local presence) or huge BPOs (which can be rigid), we combine the best of both worlds: on-the-ground agility backed by corporate-grade processes.
Proof & Success
The results speak for themselves. KMC’s BOT and Assisted Entry solutions have helped 500+ companies in technology and high-growth sectors launch successful offshore operations. These clients consistently report faster hiring cycles, higher-quality staff, and smoother transitions than if they had gone it alone.
