New businesses have enough challenges to face let alone trying to figure out how you’re going to be able to hire help when there is little wiggle room within the budget.  You know you can’t handle all aspects of the business alone but just how are you going to afford to hire qualified help?  The business is new and just getting off the ground so how do you know what you will be able to pay your new employees?  Zach Heller of Be Innovation suggests that you Use Incentives Instead Of Salaries To Recruit Early Hires.

I have always been one that thought that giving your employees a vested interest in the success of your company will lead to better results.  When people see that their work directly leads to the company’s success, and they are rewarded based on that productivity, they are much more likely to increase their effort.

I tend to agree that more pride is injected into someone’s work when their pay is based on their performance.  They feel less like hampsters on an endless wheel and more like a team member who’s work really matters to the success of the company.  For a new business just starting out, there’s strength in numbers when everyone combines efforts into one strong united front.
