Are you just starting out a business with little to no profit as you just start out you just start out you can save money by hiring family members to help out. you would be able to get save money in the process but getting the business job done

[Fergal]

Family and friends will often be very supportive of a new business and be willing to help out whenever they can. Sometimes that's by doing some work (as you suggest), they can also help by offering advice, by becoming your first customers and by spreading the word to promote your new business.

[augusta]

Exactly that's my point if you can't hire outsiders because of lack of funds you can go with family members and save money in the process

[Yugocean]

Family member isn't some thing for hiring.
Friends and relatives might be, but not family member with whom you live.

Hiring family members can have a not-so-good consequences, sometimes family members expect to have more privileges, it is true that in most cases we can trust family members more but to have authority to give orders it is best to have people outside the family.

Well you go with those you can handle I don't think all family members are bad. From my experience i can employ my sister's for my business and they will deliver

Sure, family members are very supportive when it comes to starting out new business,but then it depends on specific role they can handle but at least would still reduce staff .

Yes that's the point exactly let them help out as you are starting out which they might help out free. This will help you save money in the long run.

[Treborika]

It will depend on the person that you are dealing with. Some family members would come to robe your business and you can subsequently do nothing about them other than suffering losses.

[eldavis]

This idea makes sense but it still depends. This family member is also human and probably have needs and things to carter for, meaning they might not be willing to work long under you cause they need money themselves, so they would want to work in a place where they would be paid.

[Inem]

You have to be careful about this. Your family member can consume your business products anyhow after all you won't do anything.

[SHAHID987]

Hiring a person of your family member sometime causes many problems, and we need to give them payment too. So it's better to hire eligible person.

Yes you are right. Family members are more calculative than friends or relatives. They ask for more pay not the market price. Take things for granted

I agree with you, hire a family member but be sure the business can handle the role you want the person to do

[crestcapital]

There is nothing wrong in hiring family member into a business provided he is capable of the role.

[Kenti]

My sister was my assistant for so many years and she showed great understanding with our humble beginnings.

[Nsikan]

Family members might tend to be more loyal to stay with the company for a longer time reducing the costs of having to rehire and train new staff often

[augusta]

You can save money this way but be sure that it is a trust and reliable person. Don't just trust the person because the person is a family member

[Kalayla]

In my country, you don't pay taxes on salaries and wages of family members working with you. And that is a direct cost saving measure.

In my country, you won't have to pay taxes on the salaries and wages of family members working with you as independent contractors. That is a direct cost saving measure.

[Fidelia]

Does this mean that one won't have to pay the family member the ideal salary for the job? The only positive about this is that your family member might not strike for delayed payment.
