A small business can run a shockingly professional operation on free software today. These are the ten we recommend (and use) most often.
1. A shared cloud drive
One organised company drive ends the "which version?" email chains.
2. Free design studio
Browser design tools with templates make social posts and flyers a ten-minute job.
3. Google Business Profile
The highest-ROI marketing asset in local search costs exactly nothing.
4. A form builder
Customer feedback, job applications and order forms without a developer.
5. Open-source accounting
Track income and expenses properly from day one.
6. BD Remote App
Our free remote desktop for Windows — control the office PC from anywhere with owner approval and email OTP security.
7. vCard QR Generator
Also ours, also free: turn your contact details into a scan-to-save QR for cards and counters.
8. A password manager
One strong master password, unique passwords everywhere else.
9. Meeting scheduler
A booking link kills the "are you free Tuesday?" tennis match.
10. Website uptime monitor
Know your site is down before your customers tell you.
