Nearshoring / Mexico Site Feasibility
Decide on Mexico with a total-cost model, not a labor-rate headline.
In six to eight weeks we test whether moving production or assembly to Mexico pays, and where. You get a total-cost model against your current footprint, a three-site shortlist, the shelter and own-entity options compared, and a launch timeline, so the board decision rests on numbers your team can defend.
Six questions before you move.
Total landed cost
Labor, overhead, freight, duty, inventory and ramp cost versus today.
USMCA qualification
Content rules, and what would enter duty-free.
Site shortlist
Three locations scored on labor, suppliers, logistics and utilities.
Operating model
Shelter, contract manufacturing or your own entity, compared.
Talent & suppliers
Labor market depth, wage trends and the local supply base.
Launch plan
Timeline, transfer sequence, risks and buffers.
Yours to keep.
- Total-cost model against your current footprint, with scenarios

Six to eight weeks.
Fixed fee for one product family or operation, six to eight weeks. Travel to Mexico is billed at cost with your approval. Legal, tax and real-estate work stays with your advisers.
Manufacturers and assemblers serving North American customers who face tariffs, long lead times from Asia, or labor constraints in the U.S.
- Not a real-estate broker or shelter provider: we take no commission
- Not legal, tax or immigration advice
- Not a guarantee of incentives
Before you ask.
Which regions do you look at?
The shortlist comes from your requirements. Common options include Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Coahuila and the Bajío.
Do you work with shelter companies?
We compare shelter providers and contract manufacturers on fit and cost. We take no commission, and any relationship is disclosed in writing.
Do we visit the sites?
Yes. Weeks five and six usually include a three-to-four-day visit to the shortlisted locations with your team. Travel is billed at cost.
What if Mexico doesn't pay?
Then the model shows it, and why. A clear no-go saves far more than the study costs.
