One of the most popular posts on StartUp Revolution's forum at the moment is all about outsourcing, and so it seems like the perfect time to revisit some of the key points about outsourcing. Paper Mountain Solutions has successfully been providing outsourcing support for many years, and you can find out more about our services here.

So why outsource? Well, in the words of Paul Smalley, Paper Mountain Solution's MD, "It gives you access to a team of specialists that ordinarily a small business could not afford."

So not only do you get an expert, from finance and admin to graphic designers and content writers, looking after your business, but the outsourcing company will also be employing that member of staff, meaning you don't have to. In effect your business gains expert knowledge and saves money at the same time. An essential combination for any small business.
