Outsourcing Isn’t Always Bad

From USA Today Small Business:

“Fed up with rising labor costs, a new generation of entrepreneurs is launching millions of tiny companies differing from business in the past: They don’t want employees.

“The trend, building since the late 1990s, hit a milestone this year when the number of these microbusinesses reached 20 million — one for every six private-sector workers, a new analysis of government data shows.

“In place of paid employees, owners harness new technologies to outsource work, often linking up with other like-minded entrepreneurs to get jobs done in a virtual assembly line spanning the globe.”

Any guess as why an article like this might show up on this website?

SHCC, Inc. is a one-man show. Everything not done in-house it outsourced. Lean and mean. Well, maybe more like “lean and courteous/professional/thorough” – but whatever. It seems other people are finding the benefits of doing business this way also.
