When it comes to running a web business in a remote location, Justin and Sadie Knight may be one of the farthest flung in the whole of mainland Britain.
Operating their web design company Glassraven from their home near Sennen, Cornwall - just half a mile up the road from Land’s End - the husband and wife team spend their days providing web design services and e-commerce expertise for small businesses around the UK. But when not working hard with clients, they’re likely to hike to one of the picturesque beaches along the South West coast to catch some surf.
A main reason the Knights give for being able to operate their business successfully in a far flung part of the UK is new technology. Cloud tools and apps, in particular, have been invaluable in helping Glassraven work effectively with clients and to manage their admin.
One of the main tools that Sadie highlights which has been especially beneficial for the business is their cloud accounting software, FreeAgent. “I used to keep our accounts in a spreadsheet but it was hard to keep track of all of our incomings and outgoings so when we switched to FreeAgent in 2010 it was a revelation! Not only does it automatically chase overdue invoices for us, but it’s also saved us loads of admin and meant that we actually get paid faster for the work we carry out.”
FreeAgent brings together invoices, expenses, bank accounts and more, helping you keep your business on the right track.
Wherever you choose to run your small business, FreeAgent helps you nail the daily admin, relax about tax and see the big picture when it comes to your business finances.
