Many business owners believe that outsourcing is for large businesses and corporations that have hundreds of staff. However, there are many benefits for SMEs too. In particular, HR services require expert knowledge and doing it yourself can take up a lot of valuable time. Not to mention, it can be a huge waste of resources. Here are a few reasons small businesses should outsource HR services to third-party providers.

REMINDER: Today we are making raw apple cider vinegar. It's been quite some time since we picked our apples and the harvest, although not yet including much from the new orchard, was plentiful. Many apples were given to friends and relatives, many more were stewed for sauce, crumbles and pies and yet more were turned into jelly with a combination of foraged berries and blackcurrants. The remaining apples are stored in black bags outside, chilled by the good old Scottish, winter weather.

Fundraising plays a major part in operating a project such as Frugaldom. As a fledgling social enterprise that plans to offer the freedom to explore the area, go foraging and observe nature, there are few opportunities for generating income on site, but we do have something to offer our friends, followers and supporters - Frugal Breaks, Artwork, Holidays and Life Experiences.
