7 Best Software For SMB in 2021

Setting up a small business can be intimidating, and identifying the requirements of your business is critical to its sustenance. While there are obvious requirements such as productivity suites and accounting software, there can be instances when you need a better solution. This complicated situation usually arises when you are new in the market and want to communicate and network with others. The software market is highly competitive with major players that dominate the field. These software giants usually charge a hefty price for the services they provide. However, other smaller and cheaper alternatives can be just as good if not better. Here’s a list of seven software for small and medium-sized businesses(SMBs) for 2021.

  1. Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is the original and best office suite currently in the market. Microsoft 365 is used for homes as well as offices. It consists of a very easy to use interface and provides a cloud data storage solution. It can be slightly expensive for newcomers, but the cost is worth it for the range of services: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive and much more. Microsoft 365 is a must-have for all offices with high functionality.

  1. Sage Accounting

When we said accounting software is necessary for a business, this is what we meant. Neatly organised interface and easy-to-use mechanics are the main attractions of Sage Accounting. It also helps you manage quotes, invoices, handle and submit tax online, smart bank feeds and reconciliation, cash flow forecasting, detailed reports, multiple currency support and project tracking—all these facilities along with a 24/7 customer support line. The cost for handling these tasks can be an issue for some businesses, but Sage Accounting also has a more basic offering called Accounting Start. This software doesn’t include support for quotes, estimates, or vendor bills. It also has no cash flow forecasts but can be highly useful for SMBs.

  1. Asana

Asana is the best project management tool available in the market right now at an affordable price. Asana helps you distribute work easily and also provides deadlines. Delegation of tasks to team members has never been so easy. It also presents its services in a clean and organised dashboard that anyone could operate and understand.

It also provides video calling solutions and much more.

  1. Avast Business Antivirus Pro

All businesses require data protection, and more so after the recent rapid digitisation. Avast brings you its best business security solutions in one software. Firewall, email protection, anti-spam and the ability to sandbox applications for complete security are some of the features of this software. The free version is considered one of the best, but if you require all-around protection for your data, the paid version is an excellent choice.
