Working with an outsourced team means that you are dealing with a group of people who are specialized in various aspects. This means that you would be having expatriates who could handle different roles such as copywriting, designing, experts in PPC and SEO, etc – all embedded in one team. Such that the idea of assigning these roles to an individual who is ‘insourced’ cannot give you the desired result.
2. Hiring less experienced personnel
It may seem a better option to replace an outsourced team with someone who is ‘insourced’. The junior staff will be in lack of experience compared to his seniors who had acquired years of experience while working for an agency.
3. Choosing a senior staff as against outsourcing a team
The choice of replacing an outsourced team with an experienced staff does not guarantee success either. This calls for amateurish performance as the experienced staff ventures into other areas, not his specialization.
4. The tendency of quitting
As witnessed on several occasions, the employer may find their newly recruited staff incapable of handling assigned tasks. This has often led to the sacking of the worker. Sometimes, the employee makes excuses for being sick and still expects to be paid his annual leave!
5. Exposition to higher risks
When a business concern is rallied around a single person, it exposes the business to higher risks. For instance, at the absence of the much-depended staff, the business will experience a halt in leads generation.
6. Incurring higher costs
Even though it may look ideal and cost-effective to rely on your staff to do some tasks, sometimes, the reverse is the case. Take for instance where you may be needing to establish a new call center, the cost you would incur as to set up the new center would be far greater than relying on an outsourced agency to do the same job for you.
7. Over stressing your staff
Depending on your staff to carry out newer responsibilities is a sure way of stressing them. As a result, they would also become less efficient in their daily routine. Whereas, hiring outside your employees enhances proficiency.
Conclusion
So many outsourcing agencies out there can aid you in growing your business. You do not need to rely solely on your staff’s strength to carry out every business function nowadays. It is even cheaper and more reliant for you to do outsourcing rather than doing the so-called ‘insourcing’.

7 Disadvantages of Trying To Do ‘Insourcing’ For Your Business Concern
