The US offshoring landscape
Most US businesses are still looking in the wrong places
The US is the world’s largest outsourcing market. But the traditional markets, India and the Philippines — are under serious strain. A significant number of US businesses are actively looking for alternatives, with 90% currently exploring Latin America purely for time zone reasons.
Africa gives you the same time zone advantage as Latin America, plus an untapped talent pool, superior English proficiency, and access to a wider range of specialised professionals.

Of US firms exploring new destinations want time zone alignment
India — trade tension risk
US–India trade tensions under the current administration are creating supply chain uncertainty. Businesses relying on Indian providers face rising operational risk and difficult long-term planning.
Philippines — market saturation
The market is stretched thin for specialist roles. Turnover is high and wages are rising fast. The talent pool for complex finance, tech or operational work is increasingly difficult to access.
Latin America — limited specialist depth
Nearshore staffing from Latin America offers time zone alignment, but the specialist talent pool is narrower and competition is intensifying. Africa gives you both — the time zone and the talent.
TMA’s Africa model addresses all three. No visa complexity, no geopolitical risk, and a deep pool of university-educated English-speaking professionals ready for specialist work.
Why Africa works for US businesses
Africa works on your schedule
Time zones, cost, quality, infrastructure — the four concerns US decision-makers raise, answered.
Time zones that work with you
Africa sits 5–8 hours ahead of the US East Coast, giving you 6+ hours of daily overlap. That’s enough for stand-ups, real-time collaboration and same-day problem resolution — without the 24-hour lag of Asia-Pacific outsourcing.
6+ hrs daily overlap with East Coast
50-70% cost savings vs US salaries
Western companies typically save 50-70% compared to equivalent local hires — expressed in USD. A South African finance manager or Kenyan software engineer costs a fraction of their US counterpart, without compromising output or quality.
Savings reinvested into growth
University-educated critical thinkers
South Africa ranks 6th globally in English proficiency — higher than India (60th). African professionals are university-educated, culturally aligned with Western business norms and bring an entrepreneurial mindset to problem-solving.

Why Africa works for US businesses
We address your practical concerns — all of them
We know US businesses have specific questions about offshore staffing. Here’s how TMA handles each one.
01
We source from a deep pool of qualified professionals across African markets. Every candidate is interviewed, skills-tested, and reference-checked before you meet them. You only see people who are ready to work.
02
Less than you’d expect. We handle recruitment, onboarding coordination, and infrastructure through our facilities. You’ll get a briefing guide and dedicated support through the first 90 days.

Your business contracts directly with TMA, not the overseas professional. We manage the employment agreement, local compliance, IP protection, NDAs, and data security. We make sure all agreements meet your business standards.
04
Your team member works your hours, uses your tools, and joins your meetings (with their camera on!). We provide cultural onboarding and communication coaching so that working with remote staff feels seamless from day one.
05
We set KPIs at onboarding, run regular check-ins, and actively support retention. Our 85%+ client retention rate reflects what happens when offshore recruitment is done properly.
