Default Re: DO You Tell Your Clients if You're Subcontracting?
I tell all my clients that I have a few people who work for me so if they need something done that I, personally, can't do I assure them I will oversee the entire project to completion with one of my associates.

That way I'm being honest with them from the get-go. They may assume I sub out or that I have actual employees. Either way, it gives them the opportunity to make the decision.

No need to provide the specifics of your company workings.

Now, if they specifically ask if I have employees or subs, I tell them the truth. I also assure them that I will be overseeing ALL work.

No problems yet. Plus, my business has recently skyrocketed so I've had lots of chances to try this method out. :-)
