Every business is different and requirements may depend on the product(s) or service(s) you provide as well as the growth stage your business has reached. We provide business owners with access to a dedicated team who handle the administration, telephone calls, sales and finance functions of the business allowing the owner to focus on generating income.

What are the benefits?

Cost - Outsourcing is cheaper (see here)

Skills - Access a greater skill set (see here)

Scaleability - Use us as much or as little as required - not just small, but large businesses too. (see here)

The Pros and Cons for Outsourcing - There are naturally advantages and disadvantages to outsourcing (see here)

And for Larger businesses? Your requirements are very specific - often a particular need requires fulfilling and fast - after all you have an established team. In this instance Paper Mountain Solutions comes to the fore with its scaleability and knowledge. Click here to see a couple of examples where Paper Mountain Solutions has been approched to fulfil particular projects.

* Barclays average salary for cross sector administrator 2008
** Currently 12.8% of gross salary - due to rise next year!
*** Calculated from 20 days at 7 hours at £20 per hour
**** Based on the same calcs for the holiday - 8 days sick is the average number of days taken per the 2008 CIPD Survey

So is this the true cost - sadly not for you! Would your member of staff be working 100% of the time? Probably not! We estimate that if you get 90% 'chargeable' time out of your member of staff you are doing well, but this lifts the cost for the staff member to £25,655.

Does it stop there? No - you need to factor in the rent of the office, business rates, cost of the furniture, electricity, insurance....is there anything I have forgotten?

Now can you see why access to a team of outsourced team would be best for your business?

Access A Wider Skills Pool

The old adage 'a jack of all trades and master of none' certainly rings true here. When someone starts a business, it is normally because they have that service or product that everybody needs - the problem is, when you run a business you have to maintain proper records. That is the law!

So when you get to the stage that you need help - who do you hire? Someone who can deal with the administration, handle sales and do the finances? Is the jack of all trades adage creeping into your thoughts?

Using an outsourcing company provides you with access to a team of people who have the relevant skills to handle the work at hand.

At Paper Mountain Solutions the teams are headed by an account manager who has a wealth of experience, a finance person and they are ably supported by four administrators with varying skills. Why six people per team? They all know what is happening with the clients the team manage, so should someone be off on holiday, they have it covered!

Scaleability

In any business, large or small, the ability to suddenly increase capacity in the good times or slim down in bad times can be the difference between success and failure for your business. By utilising an outsourcing company, you can upscale or downscale very easily without the issue of dealing with the staff - that is the responsibility of the outsourcing company. You get access to a team with relevant skills that you can utilise as much or as little as you need - outsourcing puts you in control of your business.

Larger Business Requirements

It is well recorded that established businesses who employ a number of staff often outsource specific areas of their operations - IT, Human Resources etc. There are instances where special projects arise or alternative solutions to existing operations need to be investigated.

Here are a couple of examples that Paper Mountain Solutions have been approached on:

Credit Control

A well established investment house based in London required assistance with collecting a significant number of what it termed 'low value debtors'. The existing 'in-house' team focused on ensuring the swift collection of the larger sums of money at the expense of the amounts of circa £5,000 and below.

To establish a team to make these collections was deemed too expensive so the company turned to an outsourcing solution instead. Paper Mountain Solutions stepped up to the mark and presented a viable option that was much more cost effective than employing a collections team 'in-house'.

Sales Team

A fund management house based in London was investigating ways of increasing their sales of particular financial instruments, whilst ensuring the costs were kept to a minimum.

Paper Mountain Solutions tabled a proposal that was purely based on results - effectively the more sales achieved, the greater the revenue for the both the fund management house and Paper Mountain Solutions.

These two cases prove that Paper Mountain Solutions has the capabilities to assist larger organisations in providing outsourced facilities to maximise their revenue schemes.
