Growth options for a home-based business
How to manage the growth of your home business by employing people, outsourcing and meeting spaces
When it comes to growing your business, one popular option is to focus on what you do best and outsource the rest.
Employing staff
If you are thinking of employing people, you need to determine their employment status, for example whether you will treat them as employees, contractors or sub-contractors, or simply 'volunteer' family and friends - see recruiting staff.
If you employ someone, you will have extra responsibilities relating to health and safety - for more information read what you need to do about health and safety.
Outsourcing
You can grow your business without increasing headcount or expanding your premises, by outsourcing, for example:
- accounts
- administration
- telemarketing - for generating leads
- PR
- design and copywriting
For more information see outsourcing.
Meeting spaces
As your business grows, you may find that your home is no longer suitable for all your business needs. Remember that you can rent managed workspace and meeting facilities for occasional use through business centres. These can be found in central locations in many towns across the United Kingdom.
