Captive offshoring involves a company setting up and managing its own subsidiary or facility in a foreign country. While it may be more expensive initially, it gives the company complete control over its operations and the ability to tailor them to their own specific needs. This is in contrast to traditional outsourcing where the company may have less control over the procedures used by the outsourcing partner. Indirect outsourcing, capital offshoring, and pointed outsourcing are not terms commonly used in the outsourcing industry.
