RBS back Swindon outsourcing seminar with Morris Owen

Rob%20Harman%201The global credit crunch means battling through 2008 will be all about survival of the fittest. And when times are tough, it is often those with the most business acumen who focus their energies on what they do well and outsource the parts of their business in which they do not have such great expertise.

Given the current economic climate, the simple truth is that many businesses cannot afford not to outsource. But if outsourcing is never a step your business has considered taking before, now could be your chance to learn more.

The Royal Bank of Scotland together with chartered accountants Morris Owen will be hosting an outsourcing seminar in Shrivenham on May 21.

The seminar will provide the perfect opportunity for businesses in Swindon and beyond to find out more about how outsourcing can work for them.

Rob Harman, partner at Morris Owen, pictured, said: "Given the current economic climate, the simple truth is that businesses which are well-structured, controlled and focused will survive and prosper as weaker competitors buckle under the strain and fade away.

"Outsourcing not only takes one worry off an already heavily-laden plate, it will also allow company owners and directors to ensure they have the time to maintain that all-important competitive advantage and look ahead to more prosperous times."

The seminar promises to provide a number of solutions which will allow senior managers and business owners to have more time to focus on the areas which really matter to the running of their company.

Topics to be covered at the seminar include accounts office and financial management services, credit control and funding solutions, employment law, health and safety support and IT infrastructure support and maintenance services. To book a place at the seminar on May 21, register online in the resources section of the website or call Morris Owen on 01793 603900. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Chris Oakley, senior manager for RBS Commercial Banking, said: "By enlisting the help of financial experts to take control of compliance and regulatory tasks, effort is not detracted from the core issues at the heart of running a business.

"Trying to balance these tasks with complex financial and legislative duties in which you have little or no expertise can often prove time-consuming and costly.

"By outsourcing and calling upon the experience and expertise of a professional team of accountants, businesses are really giving themselves a helping hand in what is already proving to be a tough financial year."
