Some Great Free Tools To Help With Your Startup Business

When starting a business spending money is one thing you want to limit even if you have a big investment. I am always looking for ways to improve my cost’s and increase my profits. I have put together a list of tools that I have used in starting a business which do not cost anything but get the job done. By using these tools you can keep your costs down which does not only improve profits it can make your business more competitive as you could drop your price and still turn a profit/

List of free tools

• Open office – Open office is a suite of tools which include a word processor, spreadsheets, presentations and much more I have used this for years and it is compatible with the other paid business applications
  Online tax calculator – This tool I have used before but here in the UK we now have a desktop application that we can use to calculate tax for free without an expensive accountant.
• Bubbl.us – Is an online tool that allows you to draw mind maps I have used this before but to be honest if your handwriting is not too messy I prefer paper and a pen for this job.
• Frontpage – This is a website editing program I do not think Microsoft support this product any more but you can still find it on the internet. It is not going to be helpful for designing complex dynamic websites but to build your first website it is perfect.

I hope this helps you progress your business with as little cost as possible this way you can maximise the profits your business is capable of making. If you can think of any other tools that you use and I have not included please leave them in the comments section below.
