    Great point, @rankhavenseo! Cost savings is one of the many benefits of outsourcing. What do you find are a few additional pros?

    Couldn't agree more. You can really save a lot by offshoring a significant portion of your workload, you should be able to reduce operational expenses by at least 50 percent, and possibly as much as 80 percent. Also as Cara Boyer mentioned, Cost savings is one of the many benefits of outsourcing. In such cases, you should choose the outsourcing company from India or similar countries where labor cost are lower. In fact, I have experienced this myself. Few months ago when I started my food delivery business, I contracted with Staff India for my data entry project – suggested by a friend who also got his data entry by them. And, really, I saved almost 70% of the project cost. Needless to say, the quality has also been high. So, yes outsourcing is really a great way to save overhead for small business owners.

    Again, thanks to the writer, really helpful article. I wish I knew these facts before. :)

    Great to hear you've had some success with outsourcing, @Rick Anderson! You might also enjoy this case study by MicroSourcing, which illustrates how a company in New York City found success through outsourcing.
