Build operate transfer
emids, 'Build Operate Transfer' model of engagement helps clients in capturing new markets, optimize business processes, reduce administrative overheads by establishing an extended arm of the clients business. We assess the risks,opportunities and identify the right solution to match your global operational needs. This is a long term relationship which helps clients to gain a competitive advantage in a global environment.
The client has a right to own the facility, while we build the facility, hire the employees, get the operation running for an agreed period of time (usually a period of 3-5 years), and hand over the operations to the client after the agreed period.
Project based
