It takes a team to go far. You will rarely find a solo entrepreneur who go far alone in the business world. In fact, many solo entrepreneurs spend all their time tied up by their businesses and yet do not experience any growth or expansion.

For businesses that start small, deciding when to start hiring may be daunting. It means spending more money and re-organizing how the business operates. So, how do you know when it is the right time to start hiring?

Every business needs a dedicated manager. As a manager, you will need to put effort in almost every aspect of your business. However, it doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself. If you do so, you will not have enough time to cater for other things, some that will help your business grow.

So, how much does your business demand from you? Do you have enough time to meet all these needs? If not, it is a clear indication that you need help. Depending on how thin you are stretched, hire one or two to handle the business operation may be what you need.

Hiring a new employee may seem like another added expenses, but his or her input may inject new life and revenue to your business. In the long run, you may stand to make more than the monthly salary. You will also save yourself a lot of time to cater to other aspects of your business and life. It is a win-win situation for everyone.

Do you know?

Sometimes, it is easier and cheaper to outsource than hiring a person or a team. Consider outsourcing the followings to the professionals to ease your administrative burden:

• Compulsory Secretarial Responsibilties
• Accounting and Bookkeeping
• Payroll Management
• Work Pass Applications and Appeals
• Digital Marketing

Every entrepreneur starts a small business with the intention of growing and expanding it into the next multi-nation, billion-dollar corporation. However, very few solo entrepreneurship reaches such height. Even tech geniuses leading today’s biggest tech corporations, whose business may be largely automated, still need a solid manpower and labor force backing the operation.

If you are diligent and smart in how you run your small business, you may realize some growth in the short-term. However, it will come to a time when it seems that growth is slowing in spite of sufficient opportunities available for more growth and expansion. At this point, analyse the situation and whether more manpower is what you need to maintain or grow the business.

You can not just get up and decide that you are ready to take your business to the next level. However, there are times when opportunities open up and you are confident that it is time to for this growth. It will take extra effort on your part and  a small gamble. When you feel that such a time has come, it is also the time to hire to fuel this potential growth.
