How Small Businesses Are Beating Big Budgets

The U.S. job market has shifted, and small business owners are feeling the squeeze. Hiring top-tier talent domestically comes at a steep cost—especially for critical administrative, operations, and marketing roles. 

But there’s a smarter way to scale -> The Outsource Power Play. Let’s break down the numbers, the opportunities, and why offshoring isn’t just a cost-saving tactic—it’s a strategic power move.

The Reality Check: U.S. Hiring Costs vs. Offshore Solutions

Hiring great talent shouldn’t drain your resources, but in today’s market, that’s exactly what’s happening. According to LinkedIn and Glassdoor, the average U.S. salary for a senior-level administrative role is $92,613 per year—before benefits, taxes, and overhead. That’s a massive investment for any small business. Now, let’s compare that with what we’re seeing at Assistantly:

• Our full-time senior-level admin Unicorns are averaging $2,600 per month (that’s about $31,200 per year).
• Operations and marketing roles also come in at a fraction of six-figure U.S. salaries—without sacrificing expertise or performance.

That’s not just a budget cut—that’s an entire financial reset for your business. It’s about cutting waste and reinvesting where it actually matters.

Why Small Businesses Are Embracing Offshoring

The cost savings alone are compelling, but smart businesses aren’t just offshoring for the price tag. They’re shifting their hiring strategies to gain a competitive edge. Here’s how:

Imagine what you could do with an extra $60,000+ per year (the difference between hiring domestically vs. offshoring just ONE role). Instead of sinking funds into payroll, businesses can:

• Invest in growth initiatives like marketing, product development, or expanding services.
• Increase cash flow stability, allowing for better financial planning and risk mitigation.
• Scale teams strategically—hiring more high-impact talent for the same budget.
