Should You Outsource or Hire? New Guide Helps Employers Decide

October 6th 2025
 

With changes to employment law and increased payroll costs, many UK businesses are asking: Should we hire in-house or outsource?

As a proud member of the UK200Group, we are delighted to share this new guide “Outsourcing for Employers” – which walks you through the costs and considerations of both approaches.

We explore:

  • Key changes to employment rights and sick pay
  • The hidden costs of hiring (from recruitment to training)
  • How outsourcing services like legal, payroll, or finance can improve productivity and reduce risk
  • Case studies from UK businesses who made the switch

Outsourcing can offer greater flexibility, access to top-level expertise, and cost predictability, especially for roles that don’t need to be full-time.

Whether you’re facing growth, staff departures, or just reviewing your team setup, this guide will help you weigh up the best options.
