Sage Helps Entrepreneurs Experience Success with New SageSpark.com Including Billing Boss Invoicing Service
New online destination accelerates small businesses, empowering potential entrepreneurs across North America to get motivated, get started and get paid
Richmond, BC, April 14, 2009 — Sage North America today announced SageSpark.com, a new online destination for small businesses that brings together an array of key elements entrepreneurs need to get started. As part of SageSpark.com, Sage is also launching Billing Boss, an online invoicing service, aimed at helping North American small businesses get paid, quickly and easily.
SageSpark.com is a centralized online resource to help early stage small businesses:
· access and use free and fee-based online applications to manage specific, discrete business needs, such as invoicing customers.
· sign up for small business services that free up their time to run their business and accelerate business growth, such as online IT helpdesk services, online marketing services, business benchmarking, and employee recruitment.
· engage in a comprehensive small business community that allows users to connect with other small businesses, find new customers, share best practices, and learn from various experts.
“Small businesses are starting up at a record pace for a variety of reasons: from baby boomers postponing retirement to recent college graduates, to moms trying to make extra money, and with the recent waves of layoffs and the current economy, many people are seizing the opportunity to start their own business,” said Jamie Sutherland, general manager, SageSpark.com. ”With SageSpark.com, we are providing current and potential entrepreneurs with a small business accelerator that offers the choice of online services beyond traditional accounting software that will jump-start their efficiency and quickly put them on the road to success.”
SageSpark.com delivers the elements entrepreneurs need to get started inexpensively, via free and low-cost services; and get motivated, via a strong community of experts and peers, sharing best practices and providing encouragement for entry-level businesses.
Low-cost services include credit card processing and payroll direct deposit, a virtual IT helpdesk, and sales and marketing services, to name a few. SageSpark.com also offers no-cost services, including Billing Boss, a simple invoicing tool.
Billing Boss is easy to use, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, and available on 3G enabled mobile devices such as the iPhone. With Billing Boss, small businesses can easily create and send professional-looking invoices within minutes of signing up, and get paid faster online and increase their productivity since they’ll spend less time preparing invoices and tracking down payments.
Billing Boss is designed for businesses in North America and is currently available in seven languages with three dialects: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (+ Brazil), Korean, and traditional Chinese.
