Common approaches
How companies usually do it.
This is the landscape, not a recommendation. Which approach fits depends on your product, timing and risk appetite. That's what we work out together.
01
Outsource operations
- Good when
- Payroll, HR and compliance work is slowing your team down.
- Trade-off
- You depend on a provider for day-to-day processes.
02
Fractional business development
- Good when
- You need senior sales or BD experience before you can hire full-time.
- Trade-off
- Part-time capacity, so priorities need to be clear.
03
Partner channels and introductions
- Good when
- The right partner or customer is one introduction away.
- Trade-off
- Results depend on fit, so introductions need qualifying.
04
Specialists on demand
- Good when
- A project needs expertise your team doesn't have yet.
- Trade-off
- Knowledge stays with the specialist unless you plan the handover.
