Why Company Owners Need To Outsource Business Services
By Steuart J. Pereira
Surviving the Worst Economy in a Century
The economy has been devastated since the housing bubble burst in October of 2007, and the whole world is feeling the brunt of a fiscal meltdown the proportions of which have not been seen since the Great Depression. The number of home foreclosures has quadrupled. The number of companies going out of business has tripled. Bankruptcies have more than doubled. More than one hundred banks closed in the United States in 2009. How does the business world repair itself? If we as a society are to get out of this mess, we must start by pulling our bootstraps up at the work place. Businesses must recover and, to do that, they must learn to operate in new ways, innovate, cut costs, and generate new streams of revenue. First businesses must stop failing.
Why Businesses Fail
In most cases, business failure is the result of overhead costs running out of control and owners ignoring some basic business operating concepts. Capitalism and business fundamentals are still what they were prior to October of 2007, but the marketplace has changed, and businesses must adapt. Exuberance and overspending must be forgotten, whereas creativity and ingenuity must be exploited to survive in today's world. Many businesses have been devastated by the change in the economy, but there are still other companies thriving. Pereira Enterprises is a prime example of a company that helps other companies survive and thrive in this painful economic climate by helping firms cut overhead costs by outsourcing outdated functions that traditionally have been an excessive operating expense.
Pereira Enterprises, Inc., offers interior designers the fastest and easiest way to avoid many common problems, problems that face and destroy many design firms today:
- Reduction Of Employee-Related Expenses: One common problem is an overabundance of unnecessary expenses. Pereira Enterprises starts the cost cutting process here. Say you have a full-time in-house accountant or bookkeeper; you are probably paying them for more work than you actually have to keep them busy. Outsourcing means you only pay for what you need when you need it -- whether you need a bookkeeper a few hours a week, an accountant a few days a month, or a virtual CFO every quarter to review your progress. You save money on labor, taxes, and benefits, and there is no need to generate busy work. Pereira Enterprises offers specialized outsourcing services to firms, allowing them to reduce such wasted expenses. Too many company owners spend too much time on needless activities because they think they are helping their business. Any waste in today's business world can be fatal.
- Access to Seasoned Experts in Specialized Functions: At most firms, employees are skilled in their field of expertise, but probably know very little about the inner workings of how to run a business. This is appropriate; they should focus on their specific abilities. However, many professionals spend only 20 - 30% of their day on their "real" work. How much more profitable would your firm be if your team could focus on their true proficiencies and not on tasks like supervising or bookkeeping? Pereira Enterprises takes care of these things so your team can be free to produce your product or service. We handle the day-to-day tedium necessary for building and maintaining a successful practice by streamlining overall business operations. We offer you our years of experience on the “business” side of the business, and we understand the complexities of taxes, accounting, and management. In today's world, specialty and bare boned practicality are the keys to survival.
- Improved Profitability & Cost Reductions: By eliminating needless overhead and labor hours, profitability and productivity will soar, even in tough economic times. The key to success in any economy is profitability. Today's world simply makes fiscal responsibility a reality that must be respected. Pereira Enterprises saves money on wasted labor, offers superior cost cutting advice, and even reduces IRS fees in the form of payroll taxes and accounting errors.
- Secure Web-Based Support from Anywhere in the World: Another reality in today's world is that instant access is imperative in every business. Pereira Enterprises is a virtual consultant who is accessible at any time from any place. You can be at your office or at a client site and create an invoice with the click of a mouse. The information age has changed the way business operates, and yet many businesses still act as if snail mail and phone calls are the only form of communication. As many business owners are learning, there is no need for excessive staff because the staff can be there, on call, on demand, when and where it is needed, with no excess cost or waste!
