FAQ
Most asked questions to learn more about software R&D centers
Is nCube a research and development company?
Yes. nCube sets up and manages software R&D centers for other companies, mainly for Western European and North American businesses that seek to open software development offices in Central and Eastern Europe or Latin America. We’ve launched five R&D centers since 2019 and have been building remote engineering teams for more than 17 years.
What are your research and development services?
nCube’s research and development services cover setting up and managing your software R&D center abroad. This includes recruitment, office fit-out and administration, legal entity setup, tax arrangements, and people management, including appointing a local manager and providing retention support. You will determine what the team develops and how it operates. Our role is to handle hiring, provide ongoing support to the team on the ground, and manage legal matters.
Do you provide research and development consulting?
Yes. nCube provides research and development consulting through arranging a free call with Dmytro Malashevskiy, our Head of Business Development. During the call, you can discuss where to set up the center, how to organize your R&D team, local regulations, R&D tax incentives, and IP protection. He can also help you decide whether an R&D center is the right choice.
Why build a research and development team with nCube?
Speed, worldwide coverage, and your operations taken care of. We fill most positions within 2 to 4 weeks by drawing on more than 200,000 engineers in Europe and Latin America and serve clients in 14 countries. We plan the R&D setup around your goals and handle all operations, from office and IT to HR and legal. You lead the R&D center and can choose each person you hire.
How does research and development for business work?
- First call with the Head of Business Development. We agree on objectives, define the R&D scope, pick a tech hub, and set milestones.
- Forming the core team (no upfront hiring fee). Our HR team looks for and narrows down engineers who are a good fit; you then decide who to hire.
- Legal aspects management. We register the business entity, help you comply with local tax and labor regulations, and establish an exit plan in case your requirements change.
- R&D launch. We launch once the office, IT infrastructure, and security are ready, and your team begins working within your processes.
- R&D stabilization. We hire a local manager, HR staff, and administrative staff to manage daily office operations.
- Scaling our talent pipeline. We maintain our talent pipeline as you grow. For instance, for Life360, we scaled the R&D team to 50+ people in 12 months.
What is the cost structure of building a center for software research and development?
A software R&D center for up to 25 people in Eastern Europe costs about $50,000 to launch, plus around $3,500 per month in office rent. Salaries come on top and make up most of the budget, because software research and development is mostly people. The initial $50,000 covers equipment, entity registration, legal assistance, and a deposit equivalent to two months’ rent. Once the center has launched, you will also need to pay for ongoing administrative and human resources support.
Who owns the IP your R&D center creates?
Your company, with an agreement specifying IP ownership before any work starts. We define the terms for intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and data protection to meet your internal company requirements. In sectors that are subject to regulation, such as fintech and healthcare, we also take into account the local regulations of the country you have chosen for your R&D center.
