Frequently Asked Questions

A Global Capability Center (GCC) is a wholly owned offshore office set up by a foreign company to run critical business functions — engineering, finance, operations, analytics, or support — while the parent company retains full ownership, IP, and governance. India is currently the world's largest hub for GCCs.

Companies set up GCCs in India for access to deep technical and financial talent, typical cost savings of 40–60% versus running the same function in the US or Europe, and a mature ecosystem of GCC-focused infrastructure, compliance, and talent partners.

Most GCC setups, including entity incorporation, compliance registration, and initial hiring, take roughly 12 to 16 weeks depending on entity complexity, city, and headcount plan.

NeedGCC covers entity incorporation, RBI and FEMA compliance, statutory registrations, recruitment through vetted partners, real estate and office setup, ongoing payroll and compliance, Virtual CFO and finance operations, and ERP implementation on Odoo or Zoho — coordinated by one dedicated Fractional India Lead.

Not always. Some companies start with an Employer of Record model for a small pilot team before incorporating. However, a wholly owned Private Limited entity gives full IP ownership and control, which is why most GCCs — and NeedGCC's Launch package — are structured around direct incorporation.

NeedGCC's Launch package for entity incorporation and statutory setup starts at $599 one-time. Ongoing operations, including compliance, payroll, Virtual CFO, and ERP management, are $2,499 per month under the Operate package. Recruitment is billed separately and transparently, at 12% of annual compensation for individual hires and 10% for team builds of 10 or more.

NeedGCC is built on NeedCFO, a Chartered Accountant and ACCA-led financial advisory practice with 25+ years of experience. Unlike operations-first GCC enablers, NeedGCC includes a native Virtual CFO function and ERP implementation as part of its core offering, alongside entity, talent, and compliance services.

NeedGCC supports companies across real estate, SaaS and technology, financial services, and professional services, adapting its compliance and finance operations approach to each sector's regulatory and reporting requirements.
