Insourcing vs. Outsourcing

Insourcing means assigning new tasks to employees within your company. Though small companies make use of insourcing more often than large companies, it is still an underused tool. In small businesses, you can save yourself an entire employee salary by doling out extra tasks to the employees you already have. For example, if you own a restaurant, ask your servers about their additional talents. If one of them is good at graphic design, put her in charge of your advertising flyers instead of hiring someone else to create them.

Outsourcing means hiring people outside the company to complete tasks. These days, outsourcing has a bad rap because we think of it as sending jobs overseas. But outsourcing can be a small business owner’s best friend. There are tons of freelancers and independents out there who would be happy to help you with your projects. Outsourcing can even be as simple as hiring your own cousin or niece whose talents are different from yours. We’ll help you figure out whether outsourcing can help to minimize your workload and make your business run more efficiently.
