FAQ
Nearshore FAQ
What is nearshore software development?
Nearshore means partnering with a software team in a nearby country and time zone. From Guatemala we work during US business hours, unlike offshore teams that are many hours ahead.
What time zone is Guatemala in?
Guatemala is on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) year-round, with no daylight saving — so we overlap with US business hours every day.
Do your engineers speak English?
Yes. Our engineers are bilingual (English/Spanish) and collaborate directly with your team in your tools and rituals.
How fast can we start?
Typically within a couple of weeks, depending on the roles. We scope your needs, match the right people and onboard quickly.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. We assign all intellectual property to you and work under confidentiality from day one.
