But there are a lot of companies that have chosen to outsource each day.

If are totally new to outsourcing, you may be a wee bit confused as to:
• Why you need to outsource in the first place

There are a lot of solo professionals, large and small businesses that are outsourcing today. If you are really not certain about outsourcing, then you will need to analyse these two:
1. Your personal needs
2. Your business needs
You need to figure out if your business needs outsourcing, you can find out by asking yourself a couple of questions:

a. Is my business finding it pretty hard to meet up with client or customer needs?
b. Are you interested in remaining small but still keep a pretty huge market presence?
c. Are you or your business managers still unsure about which business operations or products make money or lose it?
d. Is your business experiencing some challenges that are due to operational issues?
e. Is my business lacking the necessary experience needed to grow by company?
f. Do you have very important projects but short on resources to effectively handle them?
g. Do you have a lot of temporary jobs that typically come in cycles?
h. Is the task or job a routine that is known for wasting time and energy?

If your answer is yes to one or more of the above question, then you will need to consider venturing into outsourcing. If you do not want to refer to it as outsourcing, you can simply call it searching for “extra help”. When you make your mind to outsource, you are certainly not losing control of your business you are simply gaining a partner to help you grow your business, a person that will help you manage your business better.
