And there is no real clear answer. Some people never let go as businesses grow to several hundred million dollars a year in revenue. All I can say is talk with her directly. Why will she benefit if she turns over some duties? Has she trained anyone adequately to take over? Will she suffer financially if business falters if she takes a step back?

If it feels like too much, it probably is and if you are in the black, you can definitely outsource now. If you are concerned about handling the legal aspects, book keeping, etc. of a new hire, you can go through a temp. agency first. That way, you pay the agency and they handle payroll, etc. for their employee. The agency can coach you through it. You can always keep the person on, too, if it works out.
