Assemble Your Business Team

Before you get anxious about the cost of all these professionals, consider this:

Your business team might be people or it might be resources. It depends on whether you intend to outsource or wear the hat yourself.

The decision to outsource any given task is based on a number of factors:

• Your knowledge
• Your time available
• Your enjoyment of (or stress level in) working on the task
• The cost of outsourcing
• Potential consequences of your decision

And what exactly constitutes your professional business team?

• Accountant
• Bookkeeper
• Lawyer
• Insurance Agent
• Virtual Assistant (new addition)
• Marketing Expert
• Graphic Designer
• Website Developer

There may be others, depending on your particular business. Likewise, some businesses may not need much very much from some of those experts.

For example, not every business will need regular legal advice or paperwork preparation, but you should at least have this resource at the ready in case you ever do need it.
