Does your company wish that it had a team of consultants on call to contact whenever you had a relatively simple question?  Even though it is a simple question, maybe it's one where the answer could significantly impact your business   Maybe you really didn't want to start the meter running with your service provider (lawyer, accountant, technology consultant, etc.) for just that one question.  But, at the same time, you are not qualified to answer it yourself.  You trust your staff and their ability to research the correct answer, but it's not their area of expertise either.

No matter how proficient you may be at your occupation, questions come up on subjects for which you are not qualified to answer.  You are required to rely on the expertise of someone else.  It could be a financial question or a question about your entity's structure.  It could be a question regarding human resources or legal issues......or even a question about your office space.  Regardless, it is a question that neither you nor your staff feel qualified to answer.  Reaching out to one of your contracted service providers will most likely result in an invoice.
