Lots of advice. Too little money.
Starting a business can be an expensive task, not to say extremely confusing.
In the crucial first few weeks and months before trading takes off, cash can be in very short supply, but advice comes flying at you from all directions.
What's more, you need to be on the move all the time:
- Meeting potential clients.
- Dealing with business advisors.
- Working with your bank.
- Networking like crazy.
- Working on your business plan.
- The list is endless...
Indeed, it sometimes feels as if you never get the time to sit at your desk and actually work, doesn't it? And when you do get a minute to sit down, all this information comes crowding in and distracts you.
If only there was something you could use to capture and manage all this business information quickly and simply, so you could free up your time for real work.
And what about working together with your business partners and colleagues? And are you spending money that you don't have in renting an office? Or are you working from home and keeping in touch by phone and email?
If you're taking the cheaper option, how much extra work does that create? Are you having to update colleagues via email every time a new piece of information arrives? Aren't you busy enough already without having to do that, too?
Can we keep up with the big boys?
Big companies have been using systems to organise business information and help staff to collaborate for a while now, and increasing numbers of them are learning about the benefits of using technology to help staff work together more efficiently.
But big companies can afford to invest in such systems. You're a small business start-up... You probably don't have the money to pay for a big IT project, do you?
Plus even if you could afford to buy in such a system, it would be all very "businesslike" - so while it might be easy enough for a business expert with an MBA to understand, for someone like you who's just finding their feet in the business world there would be a steep learning curve.
But what if there was a solution?
But imagine if there was a cheap and easy-to-use system that helped you:
- Manage all the advice you receive.
- Maintain a central list of business contacts.
- Keep track of all your exciting new opportunities.
- Organise your businesses documentation so you can find it all easily.
- Organise your diary.
- Plan your work and monitor progress.
Imagine if all of this was available through a web browser so you could access it from anywhere with a web connection. You wouldn't have to be at your desk to organise all the information for your business; you could file it away quickly and easily as soon as you got it.
Also, because all the information would be available in a secure online location, once you've filed it away your colleagues would be able to see it immediately. You wouldn't have to waste any more time emailing them with updates about what you'd been doing.
Introducing the Trovo Online Office.
Well such a system exists - it's called the Trovo Online Office.
The Trovo Online Office allows you to manage all your business information via a web browser quickly and easily. It's based upon a new product called Office Live Small Business which Microsoft are giving away free to small start-ups.
So why pick a Trovo Online Office? Couldn't you just go straight to Microsoft and set one up yourself? Of course you could... If you just had the time to learn all about it and then implement it.
But Office Live Small Business is an extremely flexible product that can be configured in millions of different ways, to suit any business. So even if you had some time to take a look at it and try and set it up, you probably wouldn't know where to start.
At Trovo, we not only have a wealth of business experience to call upon, we also know Office Live Small Business inside out. This means we can offer you all the expert help you need to get your Trovo Online Office up-and-running overnight.
And because the basic underlying product is free, we can keep the costs right down to a level that a new business like yours can easily afford.
This means that we can work with you to base the setup of your Trovo Online Office on your real-world requirements. And we can train you to use it too, all for a price you can easily afford.
