Tips

Business Link, a UK.Gov initiative, is one of the better websites available in the UK for SMEs. It offers "practical advice for businesses" as well as a host of features like a wizard system (to identify what your company needs) and even a local rate phone number (0845 600 9006) where you can call them.

All Business is by far one of the most complete SME resources available. Based in the US, it is packed with tips, blogs by businessmen and all manners of tools and services. Well worth investigating even if it has a strong American bias.

Dubbed the Small Business Portal, Bytestart combines news and features in an easy to read format. While not as formal as Business Link, it is a valuable resource for those looking “outside the box”.

Lifehacker is a website dedicated to making better use of technology. The authors and contributors to the site trawl the net and offer the very best tips and tricks that could give your SME a real edge.

The idea behind Simply docs is simplicity itself, providing companies with a one-stop shop for all their legal and business documents templates. For only £95 per year, you have unlimited access to more than 1000 documents.
