It happens that in business, there are some one-time or regular tasks that you rarely need to perform. Hiring a permanent employee for them is inconvenient. Most of the time, he will have nothing to do, while you will have to pay his salary and make contributions to tax and insurance funds. To reduce these costs, you can work with freelancers.
Freelancers are people with whom you enter into a service agreement or a one-time work contract. Let's say you need to draw a logo, create a website, draw up a contract. You find a freelancer - designer, programmer, or lawyer, sign a contract with him, and he gets the job done. Pay only for the result, no additional costs.
Some even hire freelancers for regular tasks. For example, if you need texts for a website or on a social network, you can hire a freelancer with an individual entrepreneur for this, sign a service agreement with him, and you will have to pay only for a specific job. If sales fall and there is no money left for articles, you will not have to fire anyone; you can simply stop working with the freelancer.
However, Freelancers are cheaper, but often the low cost of their services is the 'pay' for the risk. Even with a contract, a freelancer can fail not to do the work or to cope with it poorly because he lied in his portfolio. Therefore, it is important to work only with trusted people. An unverified freelancer will not reduce but only increase costs because he will have to redo and spend precious time on improvements. Also, a freelancer is often not involved. Even if you pay him a lot, he may have five more of the same projects a day, he is sprayed, distracted, does not dive deeply into the task, and in the end, he does not do as well as he would like.
Well, the third problem is confidentiality. A freelancer is somewhere outside your network, and he may accidentally or deliberately disclose sensitive information, the loss of which will cost the company a tidy sum. Therefore, many entrepreneurs prefer to delegate to freelancers only, not very important, and certainly not confidential tasks.
See you some other time. Thanks for visiting my blog.

I would like to hear from you. Do you have contribution or comment? Do well to drop them in the comment section.
Hi @benie111
Everything you say is particularly true, and more so now that there is so much availability of freelancers.
But this always ends up being a detail in which many aspects must be considered. Regardless of the distance, it is someone who can be entrusted with something particularly important, and if it fails, we might still be a little compromised.
Good post, thanks for the information.
