When most people think of outsourcing, they picture foreign sweatshops and underpaid assembly-line workers. But outsourcing doesn’t necessarily mean setting up a warehouse or phone center in China or Mumbai.
Put simply, it’s hiring an outside firm or expert to handle work normally done within your company.
This means hiring a graphic designer, who lives 100 miles from your business, to create your logo. Or it can be contracting a copywriter to design and write your company brochures or staff manual.
Outsourcing can be extremely beneficial to companies small and large, especially in today’s rough economy.
Here are 10 benefits of outsourcing:
- Reduces labor costs by giving you professional work without paying a full-time salary.
- Saves you from paying employee medical and unemployment.
- Allows you to find a perfect fit for a specific job.
- Freelancers are often able to start projects immediately.
- Freelancers are great at meeting deadlines.
- Increases efficiency by lowering your structural costs, such as marketing, research and development expenses.

- Levels out seasonal or reoccurring fluctuations.
- Saves you money on man-power and training costs.
