The benefits of outsourcing for small businesses

November 29th, 2013

An increasing number of organisations today are outsourcing some of their integral business processes as the benefits of doing so become clearer.

However, it's not just the big corporations that can take advantage of outsourcing. Even small startups can reap massive benefits in efficiency by allowing an external service take over the reins for part of their business.

So just what can a small business expect to gain from outsourcing?

For a start, the costs savings involved are one of the most attractive benefits of outsourcing. Outsourcing your business's routine, everyday functions to an outside provider gives you greater control over your capital costs, allowing you to better allocate the money required to perform certain tasks.

Efficiency is another key selling point of outsourcing. Freeing up your business's daily workload by letting someone else complete minor jobs gives you the time to focus on the more critical tasks, while specialists take care of these tasks for you. Not only do you eliminate such tasks completely from your agenda, but someone with the dedicated expertise and knowledge does it proficiently for you.

Finally, outsourcing parts of your business gives you the time, funds and resources to focus on other, more important areas of your business. As a small business starting out, growth and innovation will be high priorities, and you can't expect to reach these goals with mundane administrative hassles slowing you down.

With someone else taking care of the nitty gritty for you, you can focus on taking your business to the next level.

Almost every business function or process can be outsourced these days, from accounting to marketing to IT and HR, so it pays to assess where the deficiencies lie in your business and whether outsourcing is a viable solution.

Even things such as your cash flow management can be outsourced to an extent. If you have a lot of invoices owing and your customers aren't paying on time, you can simply assign them to a debtor finance company who will pay you the money due while they chase up your debtors themselves!
