Most small businesses need computing tools to run their businesses, but those tools can be costly. "5 Awesome Free Tools for Small Businesses" in PC World lists, well, five computing tools that can be used for free.
For example, business apps from Google are available for free for companies with under 50 employees and offer free email services for those businesses with a few, minor restrictions. Dropbox gives businesses the ability to store files remotely and securely, enabling multiple users to access the same data.
Microsoft Security Essentials provides free antivirus protection for small businesses, with some limitations. Linux for your file servers provides free service, although there may be a learning curve. Go-OO office suite gives users free software similar to Microsoft Office.
I'm sure there are more options out there for small businesses, from free software and trials to security measures. It's nice to know that some things in life still are, after all, free.
Until next time,
Sarah
