Resource Management
Small, midsize and large businesses use outsourcing in varying degrees to meet their needs, and it can be a smart move even when you’re focused on controlling costs. There are situations when outsourcing can save time and help you stay within budget. Being able to recognize those opportunities and bring in the right vendors can position your business for growth.
You may want to explore options for outsourcing when your business reaches a tipping point with staffing or workload, or there’s a need to fill a role that requires a specialized skill set or level of expertise. Outsourcing allows you to bring in qualified professionals without paying for the overhead that comes with payroll, insurance and in-house office space.
If you or your team members are stretched so thin that you don’t have enough time to spend on strategies for growing revenue and other core responsibilities, this is another sign that your business could benefit from outsourcing. Outsourcing back-office tasks allows you and your teams to focus on more important initiatives.
Here are some business functions that are commonly outsourced:
When you’re searching for a vendor, ask for referrals and recommendations from your business network. Also consider using online marketplaces designed to connect contractors and businesses, such as Upwork.com and Fiverr.com. The best vendors are willing to embrace change and modify their solutions to meet your needs. Look for flexibility in delivery approach, technologies, pricing and more.
