Does UPS pay for your Dental expenses?

Do start-ups need to pay all of the same payroll expenses as a large company?

• It just seems like an enormous financial burden for a start-up with just a few employees.

• Answer:

  Start ups face the dual problem of establishing the enterprise with  the one-time, non-recurring activities necessary to get the operation  underway and at the same time acquire the core management talent and  subsequent help as the business grows. Even established  companies find they cannot  sustain a work force for large scale programs until the contracts  are in hand to finance them. A core team is an  absolute necessity; it may be small and the business proposals may be  few at first. But the core team product must be strategic in terms of  high probability marketing to build the company base. Supplementary  help can be acquired by permanent ads at the company web site for  generic skill sets, contingent hire agreements with prospective  employees and similar techniques that position the resources on deck for  business growth. Small businesses  commonly utilize contingent hire agreements to locate promising  individuals who can bring projects or contacts with them when they join  the firm. They are willing to negotiate a prospective wage and salary  arrangement in advance of a proposal submission and commit to an offer  of employment with benefits and commission should the program be won.  They further offer to reimburse the participant for expenses and  business related costs during the proposal period, if pre-approved. The key to these  arrangements is to identify target projects that both you and the  candidate can go after, where the candidate is uniquely qualified to : (1) Help win the job (2) Contribute heavily to the proposal. Just bringing someone on who has no ability to offer targets usually does not work.
