Outsourcing will save you time
Outsourcing is the contracting out of a business service to a third party.
Business owners need so many skills to keep their business going and growing that it makes sense to know what you are best at and what someone else will be able to do better than you.
As a business owner myself I know what I need to outsource because trying to do those tasks myself would take me at least three times as long as someone who already has those skills, knowledge and experience.
In the early days of my business I worked with an MD who did all their own accounts and I visited once per month to do the things like bank reconciliation and VAT returns. However I spent much of my sorting things out. One day the MD told me how much time he spent doing the accounts every week. After I got over my surprise I said I would be able to do it in less than a quarter of the time he spent on it. Later that day the MD phoned me and asked me if I really meant what I said. Of course I did. From then on I took over the accounts and he got on with growing his company. That was more than 11 years ago. The company has grown significantly and now exports their products around the world. And I still work with them half a day a month on the more complicated aspects of international trading.
Payroll is another easily outsourced task. How much time do you spend processing your payroll each month, keeping up to date with legislation, researching statutory payments, holiday pay and all those other little oddities which don't occur frequently enough for you to remember what you have to do? Getting payroll right is vital on so many levels. Outsourcing to a payroll service with people who do this work all the time will not only save you time but will ensure you receive relevant advice when you need it.
Pension auto-enrolment is just around the corner. Yet another task for business owners to research and implement before their Staging Date. Auto enrolment can also be easily outsourced not only saving you time but significant penalties if you are not ready for your Staging Date.
