It can be a great option for entrepreneurs when hiring full-time staff often simply isn’t an option for a fledgling company, especially if your business is bootstrapped.

Now, “lean” is often used to refer to a company’s financial situation, so it might make you think of a bootstrapped or under-funded organization.
