Starting up: A non-starter without freelancers

Starting a business not just about hard work and good ideas - both of these are abundant commodities. Patricia Schaefer, writing for BusinessKnowHow.com believes that learning from mistakes is not the best approach:

“New business owners frequently lack relevant business and management expertise in areas such as finance, purchasing, selling, production, hiring and managing employees. Unless they recognize what they don't do well, and seek help, business owners may soon face disaster.”

With freelance advisors available by the hour, many start-up businesses see this as a vital investment.
