When a business succeeds, growth is the natural result. The more customers you attract, the larger your operations will be. The larger your operations, the more customers you can serve. Of course, this also requires the expansion of your team, and not everyone has to share the same office. In fact, they don’t have to come into the office at all! This is where remote teams come into play.
Many of today’s business roles can be performed remotely. You can scale your business for growth without the cost of additional office space by hiring remote teams to fulfill your increasing need for tasks that can be done from a computer. This can include marketing, design, customer service, finances, and beyond.
Let’s dive into remote teams’ role in your business’s scalable growth.
Remote Teams Can Grow Organically
When you hire remote teams, you can hire as many people as you need while your business grows. Most businesses grow on a sliding scale, slowly expanding the balance of supply, demand, and back-office support to reach an ever-larger audience and market. Remote team members can be hired separately or in operational groups based on the needs of your business.
In other words, you can grow your staff organically to match the natural growth rate of your business by hiring remote team members instead of staffing offices and locations.
Save on Office Space, Focus on Growth
Business growth involves the careful allocation of revenue toward expansion. In the past, this has required significant investment in new office space every time the staff needs to grow. But remote teams don’t need office space. With remote hiring, you can exclude this costly source of overhead and focus entirely on operational growth instead.
Remote team members typically work from home – or wherever they want. They only require access to cloud-based business software to perform their work duties. This allows you to scale without worrying about leasing new office space.
Pairing Scalable Software and Team Seats
Modern business software is configured to be accessible from anywhere. This can accommodate businesses with multiple locations, facilitate operations away from the office, and incorporate remote and hybrid workflows. If you have already invested in scalable business software, it’s easy to grow your business by adding more “seats” and hiring remote team members to perform the new roles as integrated members of the team sharing the same platform as everyone else.
Meshing Smoothly With Outsourced Business Services
Many growing businesses invest in both outsourcing and direct hiring. Outsourcing allows you to offload essential business operations to a team of experts while focusing on your core business model. Remote teams pair perfectly with outsourced services because they offer many of the same advantages and rely on the same remote-capable business technology to provide their services.
Outsourced services typically connect via remote software, providing digital business support like financial management or IT. Remote teams, on the other hand, work with internal business procedures through similar software. This also means that if your remote teams need to work directly with outsourced services, they will share the skills necessary to work well together.
Access to the Best Talent
Growing your business, you want new team members who can contribute to that growth. Hiring remotely allows you to widen your hiring scope beyond commute distance from your business location and target top talent in the industry – wherever they might be. You can even look beyond the borders of your country with the help of an Employer of Record (EOR) like BrightR.
