As more and more businesses both big and small take advantage of outsourcing to cut costs, improve productivity and retain their competitive advantage, the market for on-demand company services continues to rise, providing plenty of openings for freelancers eager to take advantage of the trend.
Indeed, according to the Freelancing in America: Upwork and Freelancers Union’s 2017 report, freelance contractors will make up the majority of the U.S. population overwhelmingly within a decade, with almost 50 per cent of millennial employees now freelancing.
Small companies are more likely to take advantage of on-demand systems, since they do not usually need (and can not afford) full-time experience in different fields such as finance, technical infrastructure, human resources, finance and accounting, regulatory and general consulting. For starters, 70 percent of small businesses outsource tax planning, according to the 2017 Wasp Barcode Small Business Survey.

How to Operate as a Service Provider Starting your career as a service provider begins with evaluating your skills and abilities and determining what to sell to prospective customers. The next step is to study the market and determine if there is sufficient demand for your services, particularly if you operate locally in your area.
When you have undertaken your market analysis, put together a strong business plan. Choose a name for your company with a business plan and start-up capital in place, and register it with your state or province.
Get the appropriate business licenses or permits, and register for taxation if that’s essential for your government or province. Then begin to promote your product. When you do not have prior experience, you can initially have to sell your services at a low rate or on a commission basis in order to make a name for yourself and grow clients.
