If you’re a contractor that wants to start your own business or have a business and want it to grow more, you need to make sure you have the right things or systems in place for your business to run efficiently and effectively.
As a contractor licensing business, we wanted to share with you some things you need to have in place for your business to flourish.
- Use accounting and bookkeeping software that is easy-to-use and understand. These systems track all your money come in and out, and they help you keep your business running. Some good choices are Quickbooks and Xero.
- Just like the accounting and bookkeeping software, you need a payroll and invoicing system that is easy to use, so you can pay yourself and your employees and invoice clients and vendors. Due.com is a great service. Quickbooks is great for payroll, as well.
- Get yourself a task management platform to manage projects. A great tool is Asana.
- A lot of your business communications may happen through email, so it is in your best interest to get a good email server, like Gmail, for your emails.
- Get yourself a proper digital calendar system to schedule projects, appointments, deliveries, bills due, etc. Google Calendar or Calendly are great tools to keep track of all your appointments.
- Google Docs and Google Sheets are a great and cheaper way to send paperwork and you don’t have to buy a software license to use them.
