Own A Growing Business? 2 Professionals You Should Hire

Posted on

If you own your own business and it is growing, it can be difficult to keep up with everything. This is especially true if you do not have the right employees in your company. To help you out, below are two professionals you should consider hiring so you can concentrate on your business.

IT Support

Computers are the backbone of a company and it is vital that they stay up and running. If your company is medium sized or larger, you likely have a server in your company, as well as computers and/or laptops for each employee, printers, routers, and more.

Problems could happen with an individual computer also. For example, one of your employees may turn on their computer and all their emails may be gone or they cannot print any documents.  Their computer may go down completely.

If you can't afford to hire a full-time IT support employee right now, you can contract the work out to an IT services company. If you have any kind of trouble you can call them and they will send someone out to you immediately.  The IT support professional will offer services like:

  • Perform updates
  • Run backups
  • Install and set up virus software and keep it updated to protect your system
  • Install and set up spyware software to protect your system from spyware and malware.
  • Install and set up a firewall to protect your system from hackers and other intruders.

Maintenance

Keeping your business clean inside and out is very important. For example, if the outside of your business is not well kept, this would give your clients or customers a very bad impression of you. This will be worse if the inside of your company is also not clean.

You likely do not have time to take care of all of this, so you can hire a maintenance person to do this work for you. They can vacuum, dust, remove trash, and disinfect your offices at the end of each workday.

The maintenance employee should be able to do things like repairing windows, restoring concrete, and cleaning bricks. There are some maintenance employees that can take care of the landscaping for you. They can plant flowers or bushes and take care of them, as well as make sure the lawn is always mowed.

Think of other employees you may need to hire, such as an accountant, bookkeeper or a business lawyer.
