23 Departments your little business never knew it had.

You’ve probably found that since you started running your own business, you’re spending most of your time doing things which have nothing to do with whatever it was you set up your business to do. You’re doing accountancy, choosing stationery, buying tea bags. You’re spending most of your day doing things you know very little about, and it’s time that should be spent doing what you’re good at. That’s where usecolor.com comes in. We can help sort out most of your admin, legal, finance, and just about everything else, straight through your computer. There’s also a whole bunch of specialist, ready and waiting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case you need to talk something through. Think of them as thirty people you can’t afford to hire. If the internet is good for anything, it’s good for this. Those other departments don’t need to be upstairs, or down the corridor, they can be anywhere. Subscribing to usecolor.com is currently free for the first 60 days, and £15 a month once you’ve decided you can’t live without it. In the meantime, you might find some of this information helpful.

“I’m the director of a massive corporate enterprise employing, oh say 3 people.”

You’re really good at what you do. That’s why you’ve started a business doing it. So do it. Concentrate on what you’re good at, and delegate the rest. We’re not saying you should immediately go out and hire an office full of specialists in different fields, your financial adviser (or ours, if you haven’t got one) might have a few words to say about that. You’re not a massive company so your don’t need a whole employment law specialist taking up a whole desk space the whole of the time. You need that specialist a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost, and sitting somewhere else, thank you very much. Usecolor.com to the rescue. Need legal support? We can help. Need an IT department? We can help. Need to know where to buy tea bags? Go to the supermarket.

Let’s talk ringbinders.

Stationery. Now there’s a subject you never thought you’d be interested in. Started writing really small? Not doing quite so much basketball practice with screwed up pieces of paper? It’s not cheap is it. Or rather it wasn’t until we came along. Here’s a clever thing about subscribing to usecolor.com. Even though you may be a small business, you get the buying power of a really, really big business. Which means you can get discounts of up to 65% off the recommended retail price on stationery and office equipment. It’s economies of scale for the small scale.
