Introduction
Starting a business is hard. Managing a business – even harder. Let’s be real here; there is absolutely no chance at all that a person can efficiently and effectively manage a business on their own. Yes, even in small startups.
Businesses need help from anywhere they can get it, and one of the best ways of getting this help is through certain business tools. Today, we will briefly examine three of the best tools that will help run a business more efficiently and, of course, save money.
QuickBooks
QuickBooks by Intuit is one of the most revolutionary accounting software programs ever created. That is not at all overstating it, and their more than seven million customers worldwide is a testament to this.
You can use it for a wide variety of tasks, including all the basics a startup will need, like invoice creation, taxes, employee management, adding and paying bills, organizing transactions, and managing expenses.
QuickBooks has an intuitive design which makes it easy to use. There is also no hassle in setting up the application, as users can start using it the very first day they get it. Then there’s the outstanding customer support the app offers. You can contact the support team through email, phone calls, online chats, and video calls.
What makes this software even more impressive is that it offers all of these at affordable and startup-friendly rates. In fact, it is among the bottom in the industry in prices charged. Of course, that’s always good news for startups.
LastPass
You just need to know how often businesses run into password problems to appreciate what LastPass offers. We can assure you that LastPass is perfect for managing your passwords and safeguarding your data.
Before you ask, they don’t have the key to your account. They never will. All they do is ensure your passwords are properly organized and safe. All data encryptions and decryptions are done at your device level.
They leverage their state-of-the-art encryption algorithms to ensure the total security of data. Other measures, like multifactor authentication, are also put in place to secure your data fully. LastPass is available for mobiles and browsers. Their pricing options are also favorable to small businesses and startups.
Teamwork
Teamwork is a cloud-based project management software that helps businesses efficiently manage the operations of a particular project. It is, without any doubt, one of the prime services for managing projects and saving costs. Why? You’ll see!
For starters, it is free. Yes, you read that right. While there are other tiers you have to pay for, there is a free tier that can allow two projects and up to five users. This is particularly useful for small businesses and startups that cannot afford to pay for management software but still need them.
Some of the features available to users on Teamwork include project scheduling, managing group objectives, organizing business processes, tracking the progress of projects, and client billing. All of these features make the software perfect for both individual users and small startup teams.
Conclusion
One of the primary concerns of any startup is saving costs yet effectively managing their business. Some tools tick these boxes, and we have outlined three of them here – QuickBooks, LastPass, and Teamwork. We recommend getting them for your business.
