What is Outsourcing ? Outsourcingis a commercial operation made by a company, by which it subcontracts abroad some tasks previously performed by the employees of that company. Outsourcing some tasks has many advantages, not being the least, the possibility to count on foreign employees’ services subject to the current local fees.
Furthermore, in the case of Bolivia, according to the applicable laws, the VAT (Value Added Tax) for most export products to Europe equals 0% (zero percent). This means that European companies can save 15% to 25% on operational costs made under this procedure…and we are talking about this item only.
Of course, Illimani Outsourcing pricing reflects the low cost in Human Resources to the profit of its customers creating a win-win situation. Compared to European payroll standards, we have evidenced that Human Resources cost at least 25% less in Bolivia, which adds again to the profit your European company can get by outsourcing tasks with us.

How about products? When talking about physical products, we must consider different aspects, such as distance, time and cost of transportation and delivery, etc. But no matter what your needs are, we are able to establish the contacts you need in Bolivia, find the perfect partner for you and negotiate the best prices on your behalf acting as representatives on commission basis.
Companies interested in innovative opportunities should consider products that have a high added value and are unusual, in that way they can target high end final customers, for example: clothing in alpaca wool (finer than cashmere wool) knitted and woven; handcrafted artisan decoration products in ethnic/rustic style in wood, tin, silver, fabrics, etc; pink salt, etc. These products are interesting because they are still rare in Europe, exploited or made mostly by hand which adds tremendous value.
More delicate but just as interesting, food products of every kind, especially granulated cereals, Arabica coffee, pink salt (food and non-food applications), etc., to be conveyed by ship, for the booming BIO market and with Fair Trade certifications. Be careful, the production of such products is mainly focused in high quality rather than low pricing.
