si:t ˈliys.iŋ / Seat Leasing
Seat leasing is a practice that allows a company to provide office accommodation to its employees through a service provider.
In this setup, the client retains control over the recruitment, training, and management of employees in a different office, usually in another country.
Meanwhile, the seat leasing company takes over the office space rental payment, equipment acquisition, and facilities management.
Most business process outsourcing (BPO) companies offer this service as they already have invested in the physical infrastructure required for remote work.
On the client's side, it allows them to begin their offshore operations without incurring high costs for their investment.
