Keep hiring costs down

Find a recruiting niche

Grow with freelancers


There are even low cost strategies to retain employees without the one thing no bootstrapper can afford, stratospheric salaries. Inc.com suggests:

Be flexible

Share the perks

Offer advancement opportunities

Piggyback on training

Build employee commitment

Tap vendors for credit

Borrow from customers

Borrow prudently from family and friends


• (And, if you can believe it) Ask employees
