Hiring Staff, Business Process, and Inventory Management
Small business can start out as a one man show. As your business grows you might want to start hiring more people, but you should be careful about doing so. Being fit to handle the growth is very important. You don't want to create customer service issues because of inefficient processes. For example, an easy way to improve efficiency is to implement a system for inventory management. This will speed up order processing and improve supply tracking. That way when you hire new employees you're able to make them more effective and ensure you're tracking valuable assets.
Although employees might benefit the business in many ways, they also are a constant expense. People do not work for free, so you have to be sure that you’re constantly making enough profit and pay your workers. Also you have to consider if the position you would hire someone is necessary. If you can do it yourself in a timely manner then you shouldn’t worry about paying someone else to do it. And maybe you’re only working on temporary project for your business. Instead of hiring a permanent staff member, you can look to freelancers or temp agencies for a temporary worker. But if you really think you need a permanent employee, there is a governmental procedure that you must follow, so make sure you look up all the rules and regulations for doing so.
