When building your business, you will need to get help from outside. You will hire freelancers or other small companies. Some might even be big companies.
You need to be aware that such helpers tend to shift your original strategy towards changing them to what they prefer to deliver. This change of strategy might be motivated by their lack of knowledge, their focus on higher margin services or misunderstanding of your business model.
Here an example scenario:

Some people you are hiring as full time employees and others you can only afford to have as freelance experts on bord.

Once you have those enterprises as clients you can use their branding to show that you are trustworthy because these large companies do not buy from everyone.
