The case for nearshoring

Western EU is too expensive. Offshore is too far.

Western EU rates are crushing budgets

Senior dev rates in London, Berlin or Amsterdam run €120–€180/hour. Multi-month projects burn through budget faster than scope can be locked.

Offshore means async-only

Bangalore, Manila and Buenos Aires are 4–10 hours offset. By the time you respond to a question, you've lost a working day.

Non-EU contracts are painful

Schrems II concerns, SCC paperwork, international wire fees, foreign-exchange risk, complicated tax handling — none of it is free.

Quality gap with cheap offshore

Lowest-bid offshore often means junior-heavy teams, project managers as buffers, and English that breaks under technical pressure. Total cost ends up higher than you projected.

Why nearshore to Latvia

Eastern European prices,
Western European reliability

Same working day

Riga is in EET (UTC+2/+3) — same hours as Berlin, Stockholm, Helsinki and Vienna, within an hour of London. You get real-time collaboration, not async-only handoffs.

EU contracts, GDPR by default

We're an EU-registered company (SIA, reg. 40203735662). Standard EU contracts, mutual NDAs and DPAs are part of every engagement. No Schrems II paperwork, no cross-border data concerns.

Fluent English, fluent business

Latvia ranks in the top tier of the EF EPI English Proficiency Index. All meetings, docs, code comments and tickets in English. Most clients are UK, German, Dutch, Nordic or US.

30–60% lower than Western EU

Senior developers and architects in Riga at a fraction of London or Berlin pricing. Not because of junior talent — because of cost-of-living differential. Same skill, lower rate.

EU invoicing, EUR pricing

Invoices in EUR (or GBP/USD on request). Reverse-charge VAT for EU B2B. SEPA payments. No FX surprises, no foreign tax handling, no offshore-specific paperwork.

Senior team, not body shop

Most of our team has 10+ years' experience. We do not staff projects with juniors and absorb them into someone else's PMO. You talk directly to the people building it.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with us

End-to-end project delivery

We run the entire engagement — discovery, design, build, deploy, support. Fixed-price by milestone. Your team stays focused on the business.

Dedicated developer / pod

One or two senior developers plugged into your existing team and tools. Day rate or monthly retainer. You own the backlog; we deliver against it.

Specialist task force

Short-burst engagements — CRM rollout, automation programme, integration project. 2–8 weeks, scoped and fixed-price.

FAQ

Common questions

Latvia is in EET (UTC+2/+3) — the same working day as Berlin, Stockholm, Helsinki and within an hour of London. You get the cost advantage of Eastern Europe without the time zone gap, language barrier or non-EU contractual headaches that come with offshore destinations.

We are an EU-registered company (IL Goldberg Solutions SIA, reg. 40203735662) and contract directly under EU law. Standard contracts, mutual NDAs and Data Processing Agreements are part of every engagement. Reverse-charge VAT applies for EU B2B clients.

GDPR applies to us by default — we're inside the EU. We sign Data Processing Agreements, follow data minimisation principles and recommend only GDPR-compliant infrastructure. There's no Schrems II, SCC or international transfer paperwork required.

Fully fluent. All client-facing meetings, documentation and code comments are in English. Latvia ranks consistently in the top tier of the EF EPI English Proficiency Index — most of our clients are UK, German, Dutch, Nordic or US-based.

Typically 30–60% lower for equivalent senior talent. We work fixed-price for clearly scoped projects, and time-and-materials for ongoing development engagements. There are no hidden fees or per-seat licences from us.

End-to-end CRM implementations, custom CRM and SaaS development, business process automation, system integrations, web applications and ongoing dedicated-team retainers. We typically work with companies from 10 to 500 employees.

Both, depending on what you need. We can run an entire project (discovery, design, build, deployment, support) or plug a senior developer or small team into your existing structure. Most clients prefer the end-to-end model.
