Where to go if I get too busy, don't have time and experience to effectively operate and manage my Wordpress site

First time Wordpress site builder here. So this whole building a Wordpress website is way more difficult than I thought initially. I say that because I had started with Shopify (easy peezy to do) but I don't like that you don't own your site at the end of day etc. So after watching a few Elementor videos on Wordpress felt the design process etc was somewhat similar to Shopify, so ditched Shopify and came over to Wordpress. Turns out there is way more involved than I anticipated, even though I was already expecting a steep learning curve moving to Wordpress from Shopify.

Don't get me wrong, I am muddling my way through and am kinda enjoying it to a certain degree (and will finish the site build myself), but as a sole operator of a new startup business I am wearing a lot of other hats in trying to get my business up in running and feeling time poor for it. If I had the funds at this point honestly I would just pay someone to complete the site build for me, but I'm not in that position just at the moment.

So my question is this, I will continue to finish the build, but if I find after launching my Wordpress site (next week or two?), if I get to a point whereby I don't have the time or experience to fairly keep up with managing the site, where do I go to get the site properly managed?

There is a local company where I live that do exactly what I am asking about, however I am aware of a couple of locals that have said that they are no good, and cost them time and money.

The reason I'm asking this now is cause I do expect that I will need to hand the site off to be managed (once I have funds coming into the business), but my main concern then is that I may possibly waste a number of months, time and money etc trying to find a reputable company that can do what I need, and considering what I am doing as a business, I just don't have the luxury to go through that process.

Are there any commonly known agreed large reliable providers that do 'full' WordPress site management, so that I can just concentrate on running my business. I've googled for such, but without experience don't know who is genuinely regarded as good or not in the industry etc.

Thanks.
