For my long term projects, should I go for a company or a freelancer?

According to some facts mentioned below, a professional company is a better option to assign long term tasks to. Let’s have a look at some of these facts:-

  • Companies are the ones you can depend on for the long term. For instance, if the freelancer is unwell or cannot work due to some unimaginable circumstances, then he/she won’t be able to proceed with your tasks. But it is not the same case with a company, companies usually assign someone else for the work if the person working on your project falls ill.

  • There is a huge difference in time when a company is working on a task and when a single person is doing the same task. So, when a company is doing your long term task they will complete it faster than the freelancer because of the team effort.

  • A company has lots of experts working for you with years of experience and a freelancer can only work with his/her personal experience that he has gained over the years.
