Ecommerce Business partners: Aviling B2B services

Some times you fall into this confusion to take the help of B2B services or not?  The important factor take decision is  whether are funded start up or not funded start up (self funded) start up. If the company is not funded, then the decision is purely trivial, it depends on your  financial situation. Can you afford it or not? 

If you are funded start-up, then you have some cash in hand, and you are under tremendous pressure of
hiring right people. Even you hire right people, you would ask them to work on core and critical component.
So in some sense, you can build the less important components which can improve the customer experience, but keep postponing them. These components are always present on your to do list. What to do in such cases?
