Some of the eBooks on this page are free, some you will have to pay for but I have found everyone to be valuable to me as I continue to build my small business!

Small Business Software Reviews

No matter what type of small business you decide to start, there are some tasks that you will need to do to manage the administration of your business.

You will have to track and record your financial transactions, calculate your profit or loss, and manage your inventory.

When you start your marketing program, you will need to develop promotional materials for your small business, you might need to track customer contacts or the sales efforts of your employees. While most of these activities can be managed using a 'manual' or paper based system, using small business software for many of these tasks can be much easier and far more efficient!

All of the software reviewed on this site is loaded onto my laptop. I use them for my own business, and to provide services to my clients (other small businesses).

The software I have selected cover a variety of topics, including:

  • Accounting Software for Small Business,
  • Business Planning Software, and
  • Business Administration Software.
