3 Types of Free and Paid Services Entrepreneurs Can Leverage to Grow Their Business in 2023

One of the keys to success for any small business is maintaining a healthy bottom line. In addition to adopting sound financial practices, this can be achieved by automating or delegating time extensive processes in the areas of marketing, finance, product management, and more. In this article by The Virtual Consulting Firm, we’ll explore the best free and paid services businesses should leverage in 2023 to streamline operations and maintain a strong bottom line.

1. Project Management Services

Over the last few years, the discipline of project management has grown in prominence among businesses of all sizes. The main reason is to find the best ways to streamline business processes and reduce costs. Additionally, in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have understood the importance of adopting lean project management processes allowing them to quickly pivot in times of emergencies or market slump.

There are a host of free and paid project management tools on the market that small businesses can utilize starting today. Here are the benefits they provide:

• Serves as a centralized system used by managers and employees to track, assign and collaborate on projects.
• Generates on-demand performance reports to track the efficiency levels of an employee, team, or specific projects.
• Enables decision-makers to leverage real-time data and make prompt informed decisions regarding key business projects.

2. Business Formation Services

The business structure has a direct impact on the level of the owner’s liability towards business liens and dues in addition to its tax burden. For instance, if the business is established as a sole proprietorship, the owner bears unlimited liability and receives limited tax benefits. Given the complexity of choosing the best business structure, small business owners should take the help of experts i.e. formation services.

A formation service will provide you with guidance on the best structure suited for your business and undertake the tedious task of filing paperwork with the required authorities. Additionally, come tax season, they’ll assist in making the right deductions and helping you save as much as possible.

When it comes to small businesses, an LLC (limited liability company) is often the best option, owing to its ease of formation and tax benefits, according to Management Library. Additionally, it protects the owner’s private assets and finances from business-related risks, which helps overcome the biggest drawback of a sole proprietorship.

3. Digital Marketing Services

According to research by Smart Insights, businesses need to create a sound digital marketing strategy to be successful in 2023 and beyond. More people than ever are using the internet and interacting with brands on social media. Additionally, every year millions of new customers (predominantly young buyers) are entering the market, bringing along a change in demands and products based on their needs. Hence, digital marketing is not a one-time strategy, rather it is a constant process that needs to be studied, analyzed, and taken advantage of to drive business growth.

Understandably, not all businesses have the in-house expertise to manage the gamut of social media activities, but here’s where working with a digital marketing agency like The Virtual Consulting Firm serves as the best choice, as they can successfully manage the following projects:

• Social Media Campaigns: From organic posting to paid marketing campaigns, your agency will create a personalized content calendar in line with customer expectations to drive traffic to your store/website and make higher sales.
• Website Design and Optimization: A great design, fast load speeds and responsiveness to screen sizes is the hallmark of a great website. Meeting this parameter will allow your content to be ranked higher on SERP and generate organic brand awareness among hundreds if not thousands of customers daily.

Professionals will also know how to implement search engine optimization (SEO) strategies that will get your content out to more people. If you are managing your digital content strategy on your own, definitely look into SEO so that you can make the most out of your campaigns.

Invest Strategically to Grow

It can be challenging to expand your business, but there are great support services available that can help you. Don’t be afraid to outsource when necessary. If you are strategic about where you invest your money, you are likely to see a significant return on investment. So focus on your project management, business structure, and marketing to make 2023 your best year yet!

Tips for Going Paperless at Your Small Business

Have you thought about transitioning to a paperless office? Going paperless at your business means minimizing your use of paper and using primarily electronic files. Not only is going paperless a great way to support the planet, but it can also help your business run more efficiently! Check out the following tips from The Virtual Consulting Firm to learn how you can create a paperless office and enjoy all the benefits that come with it.

Why Go Paperless?

According to GobyInc.com, many business owners are unaware of the surprising and far-reaching benefits of embracing a paperless office system. Going paperless can improve many facets of your business. Cutting out paper will lead to better document organization, easier team collaboration, increased efficiency, and reduced costs. Think about how much time your team spends managing, organizing, and looking for paper documents. Not to mention the money spent on printing, postage, and physical storage.

Digitizing your documents will also improve the security of your sensitive business information. Paperless documents are easy to secure through password protection, permission controls, and encryption technology. You can also backup your digital documents so you can avoid disruptive data loss events.

Of course, going paperless is also a great move for sustainability. Taking steps to reduce your company’s environmental footprint can boost your brand image and encourage customers to choose you over your competitors. One survey revealed that 66% of respondents — and 75% of millennial respondents — consider sustainability when making a purchase!

Move to a Paperless Payroll System

Payroll should be one of the first areas of your business to go paperless. Paperless payroll is faster, more reliable, and far more secure than traditional payroll systems. And if you have international employees or contractors from places like the Philippines, for example, paperless payroll means your team members won’t have to wait on paper checks to arrive in the mail.

There are many different ways to pay international workers, including using e-payment platforms like PayPal and Stripe. If you need to pay people from the Philippines, specialized money transfer services like Remitly tend to be faster and more cost-effective. For example, Remitly charges just $3.99 to have money transfers arrive within minutes!

On top of these international payments tools, payroll software can help you manage payments, taxes, benefits, and other information related to payroll. Take advantage of payroll tools like Gusto and OnPay to streamline your paperless payroll process and help you stay organized.

Implement Other Paperless Strategies

Once you get comfortable navigating paperless payroll, look to digitize other areas of your business. Start by scanning and organizing your existing documents so you don’t lose important information in the transition. If you need help shifting your business towards digital document keeping, you can always hire an IT consultant. Be sure to train your employees how to use your new digital systems instead of leaving them to figure things out on their own. Many software tools include trials and demos that your team can use to test different systems and find what works best!

Get Your Team On Board

Before you begin implementing paperless systems at your business, make sure your team is ready to shift to digital documents. Some of your team members may be hesitant to embrace paperless systems. Talk to your team ahead of time to ensure your new systems seek to solve any frustrations created by your current paper-based system. You’ll have an easier time getting your team on board if you focus on how your new paperless system will directly benefit them, such as by making their jobs easier or speeding up the payroll process so they can get paid faster.

Cutting paper out of your business is a great way to save space, reduce errors, boost security, and ease the transfer of information between team members. If you’re looking for ways to streamline your business, going paperless is a great move! Start preparing your team for your paperless transition so you can enjoy all the benefits of a paperless office.

Why the Name of Your Business Matters

In business, your name does matter from both a business standpoint and for your marketing strategy. It’s like meeting someone for the first time and processing that all-important first impression — your company’s name is the equivalent of that first impression. It should also make a statement about your brand, both in what you provide and your personality. Would you feel confident if your local emergency clinic was called “In ‘N Out Express?”

This article is brought to you by The Virtual Consulting Firm, which provides information and services to help you market, manage, and grow your business virtually.

What do you do and how you do it

Your business name is the start of building your brand, which is what makes you distinct from competitors and defines your business personality. Consider “Toys R Us,” for example — it clearly defines what it sells, and the colors and styles they use are childlike, fun, and distinctive or memorable.

However, not every business is so lucky as to have its products or services so clearly defined. Someone may set up a business that later provides multiple business lines or services. For example, you may set up a business selling lawn and garden items, and then later branch out to sell all-natural products and essential oils. There’s a loose connection, but the same name wouldn’t make sense. In this case, it may make more sense to have a legal business name and then create a fictitious name — or a DBA (“doing business as”) — for a specific and separate business line. You can select a DBA that clearly defines what it is you do or sell.

You want to also create a distinct logo for your business. Adobe Spark is a free logo design tool you can use to create ideas and try them out. As you go along, try out several different ideas to shape and create a logo that stands out and makes you unique.

Your other marketing consideration is your online presence. Can you find and reserve a domain name that exactly (or even just closely) reflects your business name? If not, your customers or clients may have a hard time finding you, and it offers up some marketing challenges. You can attempt to buy your desired domain name from whoever owns it, but once someone knows they have something you want, they are in a position to name an asking price. You may be better off selecting a name that will work with currently available domain names.

Legal nuts and bolts

You will also want to select a name that is distinct from other business names, especially if they are in the same type of business as you are. This not only gives you a competitive edge by making it easy for your customers and clients to find and identify you, but it allows you to trademark your name and logo for additional protection.

This is the part that can get tricky, as trademarking involves following both state and federal laws. You can search for existing trademarks through the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as register your own. But before doing so, you have to follow your state regulations that oversee business naming. Such regulations could include prohibiting certain words, such as those that imply any affiliation with a government agency. You may also need to select a distinct name from another business incorporated and operating in that state — how distinct will vary by state.

If the name fits. . .

Naming a business can be like naming your child. Your business is, after all, an entity of your creation and one that is at least a partial reflection of you. You will want to do it justice from an operations standpoint, and that starts with a name.

Learn how virtual consultants can help you run your business more efficiently without having to hire personnel on the ground. Also, you can become a virtual consultant to help spread your reach.
