You need help. But do you really need to hire? Many founders bring on admin staff prematurely, thinking it's the only route to order. But between salary, NI, pension, equipment, training, and oversight, the true cost of an in-house hire can be a surprise.

An employer and employee sit across a desk with a set of balancing scales between them, symbolising the cost and value considerations of in-house admin versus outsourcing.

The True Cost of In-House Support


  • Salary + hidden costs: Employers' NI, holiday, sick pay, pension, office space

  • Time lost to management: Training, supervision, reviews

  • Lack of flexibility: 40 hours a week might not match your actual needs


Why Outsourcing Makes Sense


  • Pay only for what you need - no idle hours

  • Get high-level thinking from day one - no hand-holding required

  • No overheads, contracts, or payroll admin

  • Scale up or down as your business evolves


Anchorpoint's Advantage


  • I'm not a temp or task-ticker - I become a trusted operational partner

  • You don't just outsource the doing - you outsource the thinking

  • You can choose ad hoc, project-based, or retainer support based on your needs


Before you post that job ad, let's talk. You might not need to hire - you might just need Anchorpoint.
