As a small business owner, it can be tempting to want to do everything in-house to save money and ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck, but the truth is that it’s often worth paying for the professionals to do a job properly. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the things that you should consider outsourcing as a business owner; let us know your thoughts.
Cleaning
The last thing you want to worry about on a Friday afternoon is whether or not the toilets have been cleaned. Hiring a facilities management company that specialities in cleaning your premises will give you some peace of mind and ensure that you’re able to focus on the more important business tasks, whether it’s welcoming clients or scaling the organization.
IT support
Downtime can be costly, and though you might be good with computers, not all of your employees are. There are lots of issues that IT support departments can offer help with, and the benefits of outsourcing it to a third-party company are that you’ll only pay when you need help and you don’t have to worry about taking on a permanent member of additional staff.
Marketing
We all know how to use Facebook, but do you really know how to engage an audience and grow your business online? Outsourcing marketing services like social media, SEO, content marketing, public relations, web design and photography will ensure you’re positioning your business in the best possible light, and they’ll be accountable to you, ensuring real growth.
Accounting
Though software makes it easy to take charge of your bookkeeping, handing over the role to an accountant will give you one less thing to worry about. Plus, as your business scales, they will be on hand to assist with things such as payroll, tax, and pension contributions.
Recruitment
It’s vital that you find the right people to help you run your business. Although it can be very tempting to ask friends and family to step into the fold, it’s better to choose the most qualified person for the job. Sure, it’s possible to work with family members and find success, but it can also open up a whole range of problems and make it harder to separate your personal life from your work life. Find a talent company or recruitment agency who can find the very best candidates for your vacancies; it saves you time and removes the personal emotion.
