Start-Up. Plan, Start and Run Your Business

Sage Start-Up is a subscription-based service that helps you plan, start and run your business. 

Planning?

Planning and creating a business will involve lots of research and legwork. Sage Start-Up’s online management resources consist of planning tools, up-to-date industry information and “How To” business briefings – designed to bring everything you need to get up and running to your desktop.

Starting?

The software included with the Start-Up service will help you start out in the most effective way. Follow the process maps for step-by-step guidance through key tasks such as invoicing, and use the diary to stay on track. The online resources will help you build your marketing and business know-how, to help you attract and retain customers during this vital stage.

Running?

The software will ensure you manage cash flow, and will help you work more effectively with suppliers, your bank, and your accountant. Use the online resources to access information such as recruitment or marketing advice, to help you develop your future plans.

The Sage Start-Up service also includes one year’s telephone and e-mail support.
