Business services: say what exactly you’re looking for

Order business services: accounting, IT, translation, security

Which business services you can order

A small business rarely needs a separate staff member for every function, so many tasks are given to outside specialists. This category brings together several areas: accounts and taxes, IT, translation, finance and security.

For accounts and filing, accounting services help: there is also bookkeeping for sole proprietors and tax returns and filing. For a website and a digital product there is website development, app development, chatbots and IT support. For documents and business meetings you will need interpreting and certified translation.

What to put in your request

The price of a business service depends on scope and complexity, so it's hard to quote without details:

  • what exactly you need: filing, a website, translation, software setup, security for an event;
  • about your situation: sole proprietor or company, tax regime, number of employees and transactions;
  • scope: number of pages, documents, features, hours or days;
  • deadlines: when the return is due or the project must launch;
  • form of cooperation: one-off or ongoing, remote or on site;
  • requirements for the provider: experience in your field, certification, knowledge of specific software;
  • budget, if you want to name it.

How to compare offers

Accounting services often cost a monthly fee: find out what it covers (number of documents, returns, consultations) and what is paid extra. If there is a mistake in a return, ask who is responsible for penalties and whether there is a contract.

For IT work, check that the provider will hand over the source code and access details, who hosts the project, and how much support costs after delivery. For translation, ask about the language pair, the subject (legal, technical), the deadline and whether certification is needed. For security, compare not only the price but what exactly the service includes, the schedule of posts, and whether the company is licensed.

Common mistakes

The biggest is choosing the cheapest without checking experience. For an accountant this means a risk of penalties, for a developer rework, for a translator an office refusing to accept the document. The second mistake is having no contract describing scope and responsibility. The third is giving access to your bank and accounting systems to someone you don't know: separate the rights and keep a log of access.

On financial and legal matters, also consult a specialist: general advice doesn't replace a consultation about your situation.

For ongoing work with an accountant or an IT specialist, ask for a trial month. Agree on confidentiality separately. An accountant, administrator or developer sees sensitive information about the business, and translators handle personal documents, so non-disclosure terms are worth putting in the contract.

If the task is unusual, just describe it in your own words: different specialists see different ways, and comparing offers helps you find the smartest one.

How BlaBlaPrice works

You write one request, and accountants, developers, translators and companies reply in the chat: the price or what it depends on, timing, experience. The platform shows the one that is best on substance first, and reviews are visible next to each. Providers see where they rank among the others, so they compete for your request. Contacts stay hidden until you choose. Find out more on the page “How it works”.

Questions and answers

How much does accounting for a sole proprietor cost?

The price depends on the tax regime, the number of transactions and documents. Describe your situation in the request, and accountants will state their terms.

How is interpreting different from certified translation?

Interpreting helps at meetings and negotiations, while certified translation is for documents submitted to offices. State in the request which format you need.

Can I order a website if I don't have the text ready?

Yes, but say so in the request. Some providers offer both content and structure, but this increases the scope of work.

How do I protect my business when handing accounting to outsiders?

Sign a contract, describe the scope of work and responsibility clearly, and give only the minimum access needed. Check the provider's reviews.
