Small Businesses Money

Nowadays, an application and a mobile device can
help you start a company, share spreadsheets and process
credit card payments. The mobile app revolution makes it
easy and inexpensive - or even free - for entrepreneurs
to manage their entire operation with or without an office.
Entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to the more than
1 million mobile apps available to meet their business needs.
Forrester Research estimates that revenue from customers

the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.

organised finance to cover the gap.

at the edges.
