Small and medium sized companies often can't do everything by themselves all the time. And the ones that end up growing and being successful are the ones that figure out early on what they are good at and what they need to outsource. Below I've identified five specialized companies that provide outsourcing solutions to help take the burden of many of those distracting but necessary business functions away from those small and medium companies so that they can concentrate on their own business success.
Each of these companies are similar but not the same. They offer slightly different services in slightly different locations. But I think each of these deserve additional research into what they may offer different types of investors. In the future I expect to look deeper into the fundamentals of a few of these companies, but for today I just want to lay out the basics to present some great investment ideas.
