We all know that more and more people are setting up small businesses in 2009 but what does this mean for the established companies and the 'serious players' of British commerce?
Unfortunately, in recent months many companies have had to reduce overheads by cutting their staffing levels and often in the process the jobs that are spared are those considered to be the core skills of the business.
Sadly this often means that the so called ‘softer’, strategic skills that can add real value to a business are considered to be an 'overhead' and a ‘luxury’ with the perception being that these are the areas where savings can be made. And to a certain extent they can.
However, just because times are hard it doesn't necessary mean that you no longer have a need for these specialisms within your organisation, simply that you are not able to fund them on a 24/7 basis.
Fortunately, as a small business with lower overheads we are able to offer these same skills, on an adhoc basis, at a lower cost than would normally be associated with employed staff. This gives clients the flexibility to control expenditure, manage activity and enhance their existing team in order to respond the needs of their business.
Such an increase in the number of freelance business services available should be a godsend to British businesses as they stand to benefit from a massive range of skills such as Virtual Assistants, Accountants, PR and Media Specialists, Health & Safety Officers and Freelance Graphic Designers.
Salt Solutions has the expertise and ability to provide many of the softer skills on an ad hoc basis for as many or few hours as our clients need. We provide planning and implementation of new systems, strategic marketing, corporate events, product launches, staff training sessions, and business development projects. Plus we are able to research, review, implement and/or execute these plans at a manageable and affordable cost.
