Entrepreneurs and small business should no longer fear
accessing the professional skills required in getting a new venture off
the ground.
That's the message from OutsourceMyProject.com, a web based marketplace which
allows small businesses to outsource work and business functions to specialists in
the UK and aboard.
OutsourceMyProject launched at the start of 2011 and has already helped over 1,000
entrepreneurs find a freelancer or professional in service categories such as web design, e-commerce, graphic
design, copywriting and administrative support.
Recent research carried out by OursourceMyProject.com illustrated the strong demand
for its service as 74% of entrepreneurs claimed that they would have found it easier
to launch their business if they had access to a network of experienced
professionals to outsource specific functions to.
Managing director Loren Holland, said: "Entrepreneurs need access to a variety of
professional skills in order to successful launch a business venture.
OutsourceMyProject helps connect businesses with a network of professionals and
freelancers across a wide range of service categories. Whatever your need, you can
find the right expert on OutsourceMyProject".
The research also found that the main factors in choosing to outsource were, i)
access to specialist skills and resource (37%) ii) flexibility and choice of labour
(24%) and iii) Price (18%). However, many (33%) struggled to find suitable suppliers
and some (17%) are concerned that the level of skills, quality and experience may
not be up to scratch.
Loren added, “It's clear that entrepreneurs and small companies are aware that they
need to access external specialist skills in order to succeed.
OutsourceMyProject.com provides an online portal to not only find, but also evaluate
and manage service providers and projects. Concerns over ability and experience of
providers are mitigated by our comprehensive feedback and rating system.”
The research also focussed on attitudes to outsourcing work abroad, with 58% of
those questioned admitting they have, or would consider, sending work abroad.
However, the main concerns from those who have not considered outsourcing abroad
centred on sacrificing quality compared to UK providers (26%) and ability to meet
the required standard (22%).
OutsourceMyProject.com helps smooth the process of finding the right professional or
freelancer to outsource to, whether they are based in the UK or abroad. Of those
surveyed 82% said that OutsourceMyProject was a service they will use in the future.
One early customer was Manchester based Edge Worldwide Logistics who posted a web design project.
Director Philip Edge said: “We posted our job on OutsourceMyProject and received
over 20 offers to redevelop our company website from specialists in the UK, India
and other offshore locations, all at a significantly lower price than I had budgeted
for.”
