UK already in the middle of a recession?

Well… there is no getting around it, it seems as though we are already in recession, which brings to the UK a significant decline in economic activity.

A slowdown is expected for businesses in a tightening economy, given rising tax, energy, and employment costs. Business owners will need to cut down their spending and look for strategies in order to increase efficiency. (UK Is Already in the Middle of a Recession, British Chambers of Commerce Says).

A recession may be terrible, but looking at the big picture, it gives entrepreneurs opportunities to innovate and look at the situation from a positive perspective. And one innovation in demand that businesses of all sizes are jumping at is… outsourcing.

Outsourcing – a proven, highly effective business strategy

Outsourcing is a highly effective business strategy used during an economic recession. It saved many big companies during the 2008 financial crisis from going bankrupt, and actually increased their profits – Google, Apple, Skype, Cisco, Microsoft, and IBM are just a few examples of success.

What is outsourcing?

“Outsourcing is the business practice of contracting with an outside party to take care of certain tasks instead of hiring new employees or assigning those tasks to existing staff.” (The Balance Small Business)

The size and nature of these outsourced tasks may be something simple and occasional, such as hiring an accountant to do your taxes once a year. They may also be a regular part of business operations, such as contracting with an answering service or virtual receptionist provider to look after your inbound customer enquiries.

To many business owners, outsourcing can be a frightening proposition. Despite this, it is a business model that has been adopted worldwide across both the private and the public sectors, and it provides multiple benefits.

“[Outsourcing] improves efficiency, cuts costs, speeds up product development, and allows companies to focus on their ‘core competencies’.” (FESPA)

Now is the best time to outsource your reception and customer service. It is one of the best business strategies you can adopt.
