Subcontracting is a process which involves a company hiring another individual or firm to complete a specialised task or function that the internal team is not equipped to perform.
Outsourcing is a business practise where a company hires an external, third party provider to perform tasks, manage operations, or supply services that were previously handled by its in house staff.
This strategic decision allows companies to reduce costs, access specialized expertise, improve efficiency, and focus on their core business functions by delegating non-core activities like IT, customer service, manufacturing, or financial tasks.
