Free small business resources
‘Free’ is a tricky word – companies like Microsoft don’t like to use it because if you say ‘free training course’ the cost of driving to the venue is not free of course. And your time isn’t free either. So, accepting that you still have to pay for your internet connection, office space and time, etc, here are some FREE resources that might go some way to smoothing the ever-increasing financial burdens we’re all suffering from.
