That’s a difficult sell for many reasons. Companies may have regulatory requirements that prevent it. Even if they don’t, it’s a big deal to open a remote office. You have to have management, legal resources to operate in the country, etc. I’ve also heard management express concerns about protecting IP in low cost jurisdictions.
