4 Reasons why Freelancers add real value to your business 

With all the current news about public sector cuts in the UK, is your business going to be affected? Will you need to consider redundancy for departments or individuals within your company? If so how will you remain as a productive and successful business?

1. Reduce staff costs. Only employ one single or a team of freelancers for the duration of a project. No monthly salary, pension or National Insurance costs. Better suited to budgets and cash flow.
2. Reduce your carbon footprint. Outsourcing stops the requirement for commuting as most freelancers work from home. Reduce your office heating and electricity costs, as you will run less computer terminals and will require less office space.
3. Flexibility. Get to know and utilise the skill sets of a variety of freelance workers. Different global locations allow for work to be completed over different time zones. Costs vary according to global location also.
4. Inspiration and creativity. Being self employed and focussed on making a success of their own business, freelance workers add spark and energy to your work. They often bring an outside viewpoint, new ideas and opinions, and a fresh and forward thinking approach to the work to be completed. They have an unrestricted mindset and bags of free thought!
