What is 'In-House'

In-house refers to conducting an activity or operation within a company, instead of relying on outsourcing. A firm uses its own employees and time to keep a division or business activity, such as financing or brokering, in-house.

An in-house operation is an activity performed within the same business, using the company’s assets and employees to perform the necessary tasks, whereas outsourcing involves hiring outside assistance, often through another business, to perform those activities instead of using internal assets or employees.

Financial Benefits of Maintaining In-House Services

When dealing with customers, a firm may try to keep the entiretransactionin-house. For example,in-house financingis a common practice in certain industries. This form of financing works by using the firm's own resources to extend the customer's credit with the firm potentially benefiting from any associated interest payments in exchange for assuming the risk associated with default.

For a brokerage, the firm may try to match a client's order with another customer, creating an in-house transaction. This allows the firm to benefit from both the buy- and sell-sidecommissionsand potentially lowering other administrative costs.

5. Insider trading

Insider trading is the trading of a public company's stock or other securities (such as bonds or stock options) by individuals with access to nonpublic information about the company. In various countries, some kinds of trading based on insider information is illegal. This is because it is seen as unfair to other investors who do not have access to the information, as the investor with insider information could potentially make far larger profits that a typical investor could not make.
