5 Very useful free business tools!
How often do your read an article that talks about free business tools only to discover the “free” part is after you buy something? Well, free things do actually exist! We also need to be aware that just because things are free, doesn’t always mean they are of high quality.
I’m always on the look out for free and useful tips, tools and tricks. Those are some of the reasons I love listening to podcasts as they are almost always free. There may be suggestions offered in the content that is free as well. However, you need to listen to the entire podcast to locate the freebies.
I have found that subscribing to various sites and e-newsletter I can locate both personal and professional items that benefit me. Every morning and afternoon I receive Pinterest and Google content specifically tailored for my needs. I thought I would share some of those with you today.

3) Free accounting
I can absolutely endorse and encourage using this free accounting program! I have been using Waveapps for many years and have never paid for any of it’s features (other that credit card processing which is never free). It offers everything you need for your small business accounting needs. It also offers a multiple user option. I can’t say enough positives about this company! How they offer this without a fee is beyond me! But, like anything, most free things have a limited life expectancy before it becomes a paid program, so get it now! https://www.waveapps.com/pricing

In Conclusion
Running a business is costly and time consuming! Often we are biased about using things that appear too good to be true.
