The basic concept I'm trying to get some pointers on is this:
Let's say I'm based in the US, and I provide accounting services.
I grow, and I decide that certain back-office purely paperwork functions could be done by lets say Mongolians, for about the same reliability and half the price.
How do you normally execute this? Let's say I don't want any middlemen involved because I want full control, no middleman losses, and expect to scale the operation rapidly.
Thoughts on potential ways:
If anybody has tips on websites/blogs etc that might be down this alley, give us a tip. Cheers.

Thoughts on potential ways:
- You just contract them online i.e. as freelancers. You send them paperwork and Paypal money, they send back processed paperwork. Don't know if there's any legal/regulations dogshit involved in doing this, like you're "importing" something, or you just treat it as a plain expense like buying paper.
- You somehow hire them as permanent employees? I assume this is impossible as they're not US residents or whatever, even though they're not required to be in the US, they're working for a US company so it's a no no?
- You incorporate a company in Mongolia, which in turn then hires them as permanent employees. I assume this is the way it's done "for real". This then poses a bunch of other questions:
- How does this relate to your US business? Does it "own" that company? Do you own both of those companies, and then just pipe money/resources between them using contracts between them? No idea where to start in researching this.
If anybody has tips on websites/blogs etc that might be down this alley, give us a tip. Cheers.
