GOOGLE WORKPLACE
I use Google Workplace to organise myself and my clients. I have set up a Google Drive for most of my clients so we can both access and edit documents. It saves time emailing attachments etc and you always have access to the latest version. Accessing a client's calendar and being able to update it instantly is also a very handy tool to have.

CANVA PRO
I use Canva Pro on a daily basis for so many things. I use it to design, resize and schedule my social media posts, to create my business cards, to create stationery templates for my clients and to produce adverts for print media to name a few. There is a free version of Canva but do think Canva Pro is worth the money. I particularly like that you can create a "brand kit" and the fact you can resize every design depending on the media you need it for. Click on the image opposite to have a free trial.
123 REG - WEBSITE BUILDER
I used 123 Reg to build this website. I found it easy to use and the template format made it easy to navigate. Their help desk is also pretty responsive if you have any issues. I also used 123 Reg to buy my domain name and to host my email. Click on the image opposite to find out more.
INDEMNITY INSURANCE
I chose Policy Bee for my indemnity insurance because I found them really reasonable and had the cover I wanted for a small business. If you click on the link opposite and purchase your cover, we will both receive a cheque for £20 from them as a thank you!
AMAZON BUSINESS
Like a lot of people, I use Amazon for so many things and Amazon Business makes it even quicker and easier. I use it for stationery, IT equipment, office furniture and even bought my iPad from there. The benefits of Amazon Business can include wholesale pricing and bulk discounts. Most products are free one-day delivery. Click on the link opposite to sign up for a free account.
BUSINESS DOCUMENTS
The Law Depot gives you access to legal documents, forms, and contracts which you can customise for your business and then print or download. Click on the link opposite for more information.
