Should You Hire or Outsource? A Guide for Small Business Owners

Growing businesses need help—but the right model depends on cost, control, and speed.

When hiring makes sense

• Work is ongoing and central to your brand.
• You want culture, continuity, and predictable availability.
• Cross-training across roles adds resilience.

When outsourcing wins

• Specialized or seasonal needs.
• Lower overhead and faster ramp-up than full-time payroll.
• Clear deliverables with fixed scopes.
