You probably did everything yourself from building your website to cleaning the office to meeting with clients and actually doing the work you\u2019re fond of.\n\nMoving forward, we hope you\u2019ll arrive at a point where it\u2019s all just too much to handle on your own and you start thinking about hiring someone to help you out! Hiring a few extra hands can be a daunting task. There are so many things to think about when you make that decision.\n\nToday we\u2019ll look at a few questions to ask yourself when considering expanding the business.\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#What_elements_do_you_need_help_with_the_most\" >What elements do you need help with the most?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#What_do_you_want_to_spend_your_time_on\" >What do you want to spend your time on?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#Do_you_need_full-time_or_part-time_help\" >Do you need full-time or part-time help?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#How_much_time_do_you_have_for_hiring_training\" >How much time do you have for hiring &amp; training?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#Do_you_have_the_capital_to_hire_someone\" >Do you have the capital to hire someone?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#Are_you_willing_to_take_on_an_Intern\" >Are you willing to take on an Intern?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#What_are_your_legal_responsibilities_when_hiring_someone\" >What are your legal responsibilities when hiring someone?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/expanding-your-business-hiring-employees\/#Thats_a_lot_to_consider\" >That\u2019s a lot to consider!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_elements_do_you_need_help_with_the_most\"><\/span>What elements do you need help with the most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou\u2019ve probably come to the decision to hire someone because you\u2019re overwhelmed. But what specific tasks do you find overwhelming? Sit down and make a list of the most frustrating parts to the day. What don\u2019t you have any time for and where do you need the most help?\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202759.563.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202759.563.png 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202759.563-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202759.563-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202759.563-670x335.png 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_want_to_spend_your_time_on\"><\/span>What do you want to spend your time on?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nMany business owners will rush to hire someone with similar skills to their own\u2026only to find themselves handing off all the \u201cfun\u201d projects to the new hire, and being stuck with the day-to-day maintenance of the business such as the bookkeeping, etc.\n\nSo spend some time thinking about the tasks that could be handed off to someone who holds a different skill set. Ideally you get to spend the most amount of time with your clients. So a good first hire might be a part-time bookkeeper or accountant who can help with the budgeting and financial reporting. A personal assistant can be another great start: someone who has the ability to schedule your day, help you with client communications, and keep track of invoices, contracts, etc.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_need_full-time_or_part-time_help\"><\/span>Do you need full-time or part-time help?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nReally think about this. If you\u2019re overwhelmed with running the business yourself it can seem like you need three extra sets of hands for 60 hours per week each! That\u2019s likely not reality. And the last thing you want is to hire someone to sit on their hands.\n\nTake some time to objectively look at the tasks you want this new person to complete, and how much time these should take. Average it out and include this in your \u201chelp wanted\u201d ad. Being clear about the time commitment will help avoid applications from unqualified candidates.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_time_do_you_have_for_hiring_training\"><\/span>How much time do you have for hiring &amp; training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen you hire someone, it will take a chunk of your time to peruse resumes and interview potential candidates. You\u2019ll also want to set aside a fair chunk of time to train your new employee. No one will succeed if you stick them at a desk and expect them to read your mind. Training, mentoring, evaluating, and nurturing are all part of the deal when hiring someone new.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202848.074.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202848.074.png 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202848.074-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202848.074-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202848.074-670x335.png 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_the_capital_to_hire_someone\"><\/span>Do you have the capital to hire someone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re bringing on a new employee you need to consider the up-front costs, not just in your time, but in overhead costs as well. Can you supply them with the tools they need to do the job? Most employees will require a quiet workspace that contains a desk, phone, and computer. You should also consider added costs such as Internet usage, etc. that will increase once it\u2019s more than just yourself using the office.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_you_willing_to_take_on_an_Intern\"><\/span>Are you willing to take on an Intern?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAn internship or co-op can be a cost-effective way to get some temporary help. You can work with local schools to recruit someone who\u2019s right for the job. The downside is they often require more of your time in terms of training. Still, it\u2019s a viable option to consider and can lead to some of the best employees you\u2019ve ever had.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_your_legal_responsibilities_when_hiring_someone\"><\/span>What are your legal responsibilities when hiring someone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThis will vary based on your city, state or province, but you need to know all the requirements associated with becoming an employer. Everything from wages to employment insurance to employee benefits, you need to know what you\u2019re required to offer employees, and what\u2019s standard for employers in your area as well.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202951.187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202951.187.png 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202951.187-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202951.187-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Copy-of-Makeup-In-Post-QC-Logo-140x121-2020-06-18T202951.187-670x335.png 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thats_a_lot_to_consider\"><\/span>That\u2019s a lot to consider!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYes it is.\n\nHiring someone shouldn\u2019t be done lightly, but doing so when well-informed and prepared for the task at hand can be the best business decision you ever make!\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Don&#8217;t miss QC&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional makeup courses<\/a>for your chance to succeed in the makeup industry!<\/i><\/h3>\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you first started your business, you were likely a one-person band.
