The Best Free Apps for Small Business Owners
Best Tools for Small Business: The Basics
To get started you’re most likely going to need an email address, I probably don’t need to elaborate on why, but very quickly email is where you’ll deal with nearly all of your suppliers, customer sand pretty much all other communications. For email there are a few free options:
Proton Mail - Security and privacy focused.
Proton Mail is a Swiss email provider focused on privacy and security, they claim, unlike other providers, they don’t scan your emails to build a profile of you which others sell to marketers. They also provide end to end encryption, so only you can see your emails. They state they cannot view the contents of your emails or attachments. The downside of the free plan, is you can’t use a custom domain. So you’ll end up with an email @proton. Proton in my opinion is one of the best apps for small business, it’s as easy as Google to use and it’s nice to know your data is more protected.
