How To

Many business owners get into a business to pursue a passion or a dream. Others want to be their own boss. Either way, nobody really shows them the back-end processes that HR, IT, and accounting departments take care of at a larger company. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could focus on doing the things you love and leave all that paperwork behind?

 

Unfortunately, most business owners don’t get to live that particular aspect of the dream. The average SMB owner may spend 16 hours per week on administrative tasks. Marketing, payroll, accounting, and inventory are just a few regular concerns—not to mention surprises.

 

Good news: many of these how-tos can be automated by the latest software developments. Your payment processing company can integrate with accounting, inventory, and even HR functionalities to smooth out back-end processes.

 

Every debit and credit card payment facilitates the organization of your inventory and an exact accounting of your sales numbers. In our blog posts, you’ll see how the most up-to-date payment solutions (hardware and software) can make your business day run much more smoothly.

 

There are some business how-to’s that can’t be automated. We’ll cover those as well in some of our blog posts: how to open a bar, how to scale your SaaS company, how to upsell, how to lower food costs…there are lots of exciting ideas in a variety of industries that we’ll explore in our business how-to articles.
