Top Tactical Reasons to Outsource

Reduce or control operating costs
Bucar Group's lower cost structure is one of the most compelling short-term benefits of outsourcing.

Make capital funds available
Reduces the need to invest capital funds in non-core business functions. This makes funds more available by core areas.

Cash infusion
People, equipment, and facilities used in the current operations all have a value, and are in effect, sold to the provider as part of the transaction, resulting in a cash payment.

Resources not available internally
Outsourcing is a viable and important alternative to building the needed capability from the ground up.

Function difficult to manage or out of control
Does not mean abdication of management responsibility.

Top Strategic Reasons to Outsource

Improve business focus
Allows company to focus on broader business issues.

Access to capabilities
Brings extensive resources to meeting the needs of customers; access to new technology, tools, and techniques that the organization may not currently possess; more structured methodologies, procedures, and documentation.

Accelerated reengineering benefits
Allows organizations to immediately realize the anticipated benefits of reengineering by having an outside organization, one that is already reengineered to state-of-the-art world-class standards, take over the process.

Shared risks
When companies outsource, they become more flexible, more dynamic, and better able to adapt to changing opportunities.

Free resources for other purposes
Organizations redirect its resources from non-core activities toward activities that have greater return in serving the customer.

How Much Does An Employee Cost?

Employment costs fall into several broad categories:

Recruiting Expenses
Finding technically qualified people who can function effectively in a rapidly growing start up venture is not an easy task. Be sure to devote the time to ensure that your hires are as close to perfect "10s" as possible. Anything less will be a drag on your business.

Basic Salary

Basic salaries vary all over the place depending on the industry and a variety of other factors. There are data that can help you calibrate an appropriate base salary. Be sure to establish rational salary ranges given your growth plans. This means that in most cases there should not be great salary differentials between early hires and later employees. Any "risk component" of being an early hire should be made up in the equity compensation component.

Employment Taxes
In preparing your personnel budget be sure sure to include allowances for Social Security/FICA (currently 6.2% on the first $90,000 of salary, Unemployment/FUTA (6.2% of $7,000 of salary and Medicare (1.45% with no salary cap). Workmen's Compensation premiums will depend on the category of your employee, with clerical at about 0.3% of salary and manufacturing at 7.5%.

Benefits
Basic salary and employment taxes are a minimum. The costs to this point (basic salary, employment taxes and benefits) are typically in the 1.25 to 1.5 times base salary range. The cost range for a $50,000/year employee might be $62,500 to $75,000.

Space
How many square feet does an employee need? Work cubes are typically 8' x 8' in size and private offices range in size. In high tech, figure on 225 to 250 square feet per employee when you add in common space. Furnishing the space, even with used work cubes, will probably run $2,000 at a minimum.

Other Equipment and Overhead
The basics these days for high tech or office workers have to include a computer and telephone. Even with decreases in PC prices, figure on $1,000+ for a computer, $500 to several thousand for software and $250-$350 initially per telephone handset on average when you factor in installation. Don't forget the periodic expensive upgrades you will need to your LAN and voice mail systems.
