Individual Magento Developers/ Magento Freelancer:
Individual Magento developers of freelancers are those people who either work from home individually or with 2 or 3 people under them. Normally Magento freelancer can provide you with your small Magento task done quickly but for big task there may be a risk in hiring individual developer as single person may not be able to handle all the task as the individual with strength in designing, implementation, back end development and shipping configuration.
The biggest advantage you get from hiring single Magento developer is that the cost is very very low compare to big or medium sized Magento companies further as one single person is working on your project quick actions and decision can be taken.

Based on the above we suggest is to have medium size organization so to ensure you can put less cost with low risk on failures.
