There are many things to consider when operating a business.  There are many ways you can make money and many ways to spend it.  In an effort to tackle these challenges, consider the following statement:

Outsource to maximize profits and minimize office space.

Now, this takes care of the two major goals of a business: maximizing profits and minimizing expenses.  Some ways that you can accomplish these goals are through human resources department outsourcing (think training, payroll, benefits and employee relations), utilizing recruitment firms to screen and hire employees, and contract out ecommerce website design needs (in the case of a business that operates on the web) instead of doing it in house. 

By minimizing the number of on hand staff, the need for office space will decrease.  Yet, at the same time, your organization will be able to function as a fully staffed organization thanks to your outsourcing efforts.

There are also many smaller organizations that do the same sales volumes of larger companies, but utilize outsourcing to leverage their time and free themselves up to focus on the business.  Before you hire more employees, consider outsourcing as an alternative.
