Keep simplicity and scale in mind when choosing your tech
Look for tech solutions that offer the features and capabilities you’ll need later on. Keep in mind:
Simplified workflows. Look for tools that minimize steps per task.
Product trials. Spend time working with the tech before you commit.
Scaling with success. The more successful you are, the more projects you’ll need to manage.
Transferring ownership. For example, you may cover web hosting costs or other fees on behalf of your clients. Know how you’ll transfer ownership if costs need to move to the client.
Be financially accountable
Be diligent with your business bookkeeping and client billing information right from the start.
Use an accounting/bookkeeping tool. Make sure your chosen solution easily creates professional invoices, automatically tracks expenses, and allows for recurring invoices and expenses.
You don’t just want this information to make sure you get paid. You’ll also want to have that data for future projects, plus income/expense estimates and forecasting.
