Small Business Toolkit - Welcome note

Welcome to Small Business Toolkit !

It needs guts to start and run a business and a lot of efforts to be successful. Especially when you start a small business with no business background and no big investments or sponsors to back you.

Few years being in this route, I would like to bring the optimum tools in my experience that helps the business to run better.  Warning: It is going to be highly opinionated, cost-effective solutions that worked for me and that I feel it will be work for you.

There are few criteria on which I selected the tools

• Runs on Cloud  

  • always on, 

  • multiuser, multi device, etc 

  • Yeah, I do not own any servers any more (except for an IBM server that lying as antique piece in my house, collecting dust - don't ever buy a server; not any more)

• FREE 

  • Free or 

  • Very much affordable, 

  • SaaS

• Secure - no explanation required !

Before, jumping in to the tools, let me list the important functions of Small Business. Being in software business, I orient these functions towards software, but you should be able to align it to your business very easily.

• Office Suites

• Finance

• Productivity

• Product Management

• Engineering

• Marketing

• Sales

• Service

• Customer Relationship

• Project Management

• Quality Assurance

• Human Resources

Throughout the series of this Small Business - Toolkit articles, I classify the tools into one or more functions. The tools and usage are based on my experience and only based on my experience. I believe the articles help you to achieve better results in whatever that you are doing in your business.

Best wishes for your business success.

May Lord bless you.
