Frequently asked questions about business outsourcing services
When should a business outsource its back office?
If your back-office functions have become too time consuming or error prone, it could be time for back-office outsourcing. Or if your business is scaling or moving into new sectors or jurisdictions, you may benefit from the flexibility and expertise of an outsourced service provider. Struggling businesses can also often cut costs by outsourcing rather than maintaining in-house teams.
Is outsourcing business services expensive?
How much you pay for outsourced business services depends on several factors including: the services and level of expertise you need, the complexity of tasks and the volume of work. But outsourcing business services is often a cost-effective way to access specialist services and skills and can be cheaper than running in-house teams.
Why does outsourcing go wrong?
Many companies have bad experiences when they outsource their business services because they have chosen a provider that doesn’t have the technical expertise or technology to offer a tailored, flexible and scalable service. They are often forced into a one-size-fits-all solution.
