Yet, outsourcing is no easy decision. There is a lot to be said about having that great team in-house. Yet as business people, we need to analyze what is right and what is ego. With today's economy, many employees are working at way below capacity. You need to trim down or shut the doors.

Some reasons outsourcing may be right for you:

You are having trouble making payroll,
You can not afford the talent you want and need,
You are overstaffed for that occasional job,
You want to offer web design, but only have a few jobs a year

This calculator can help in your decision process.
