When you are running a business, there is no rule that says you have to do everything on your own. Sometimes, you're better off if you purchase a solution or outsource the function. Here are some parts of your business where you may be better off having them done by something or someone else.
This does not have to be a physical front desk, but the intent and purpose remains the same. Every business can use help with scheduling and certain functions that would be performed by your own staff. This can be through the use of a virtual assistant that handles these areas for you. This can free up your actual staff to take care of other administrative functions. This virtual help can handle everything that a traditional front desk receptionist could handle, without the added costs that it takes to employ someone.
Technical areas scare many business owners since they are unfamiliar with them. Giving this work to someone who is proficient in this can both increase your efficiency and save you some stress. Outsourced technical support can help if you or your contracted employees aren't very tech-savvy. You receive dedicated expertise without having to hire a person on staff who just handles your IT work. At the same time, you can have someone on call to deal with technical issues as they arise without having to add to your payroll.
Human resources is an area where it is critical to do the job right and it is laden with its own pitfalls. HR mistakes can subject you to financial and legal liability. It may be a leap to hire a dedicated HR person since your business might not be large enough yet. If you fall in the middle, you can get HR help, either through outsourcing the function or by purchasing a technical solution that can provide you with HR services. Lacking this function for your business can hurt efficiency and morale, but it may be too much of an expense to bring someone onboard full-time.
You do not have to do everything yourself, or even have your own people perform the function. Both outsourced help and software solutions can help save you time and money. Especially when your business is beginning, receiving help in these areas can make your business more viable as it grows.
