The Best Use of Your Time
Small business owners, entrepreneurs and the self-employed often find they cannot ?do it all’ themselves and do it well. Choosing who ? employee or service provider ? to hire is a tough decision, but one that is welcomed because it indicates growth in the business.
Many small companies begin as a sole proprietorship or two-person operation (fondly called mom-and-pops). As the company grows, a need for additional help is realized. This business owner who used to wear the operations, bookkeeping, marketing and sales hats now must decide who will help with these tasks. A choice whether to become an employer or to hire companies that provide some of these services looms overhead.
