FAQ
There are many questions we are asked about the many business outsourcing services we provide and to help we have listed below some of the more common ones, if yours is not listed below, then please get in touch and we will be happy to answer any question you may have in relation to the many business support solutions we provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
- 1. Can you visit or work at my office or home?
Yes, we are fully insured for on-site work and visits.
- 2. Can you just work on particular projects?
Yes, we work on an ad hoc, project or ongoing basis – it is your choice, you are in control!
- 3. Who do you help?
We specialise in supporting micro to Small Businesses, busy executives and charitable organisations.
- 4. What about confidentiality?
We take confidentiality very seriously and to support our claim we are willing to sign confidentiality agreements if requested and we are also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office. What this means to you is that you can rest assured your confidential information is stored and treated with the utmost care and discretion.
- 5. Where are you based?
We are based in the Midlands (Chesterfield, Derbyshire).
- 6. Which areas do you cover?
We can work remotely/virtually across the UK. For on-site work we cover Chesterfield, Sheffield, Derby and Mansfield.
- 7. Can payment be made via BACS?
No problem, our bank account details will appear on the bottom of your invoice.
- 8. How do you keep your costs down?
In an effort to keep costs down for our administration outsourcing services we do not include costs for stationery, postage and telephone calls, these are charged at cost price to clients who need them.
- 9. Can you help me to identify what I can outsource?
No problem at all. Many businesses are unsure how we can help and we are happy to discuss this with you. How much or how little you decide to outsource is entirely in your hands.
- 10. I am worried about ‘letting go’ – should I be?
The simple answer is no. Business process outsourcing (bpo) is becoming common practice for many varied reasons (cutting costs, business growth and development and many other reasons) we can put your mind at rest. Many of our current clients felt the same way as you are perhaps feeling now, but they have all stayed with us as they enjoy their new found ‘freedom’.
