Indie firms will put the staff who work on your business on the pitch, unlike "engulf and devour" firms that will bait and switch their grandmother if needed. 2. Indie firms are more likely to get the outside help they need at greater cost savings, or at least the best price possible. Firms operating under a larger umbrella are under enormous pressure to cross-sell other services from The Mother Ship, at premium prices and not always the best of class.
