  • Small Business Inventory Control Pro

    Small Business Inventory Control Pro

    A couple of the tool’s more notable features are its ability\r\nto create purchase orders and invoices and its capacity for dealing with\r\nbundles, not just individual products.

    Small Business Inventory Control Pro sells for $259, but a\r\nfree trial is available for download.

  • Publish-iT

    Publish-iT

    Publish-iT also includes countless text and image formatting\r\noptions. This tool probably won’t meet the needs of professional graphic\r\ndesigners, but it will work fine for most other people.

    Publish-iT sells for $24, but a free trial is available for\r\ndownload.

  • Advertising Manager

    Advertising Manager

    Advertising\r\nManager is designed to help businesses make the most of their advertising\r\nbudget. The tool reminds me a lot of a business plan template because of some\r\nof the questions it asks. Advertising Manager requires you to enter some basic information\r\nabout your business and then helps you brainstorm by asking you questions about\r\nthings like market share and public perception.

  • Ultimate Business Plan Starter

    Ultimate Business Plan Starter

    Ultimate Business Plan Starter uses a tree-like interface\r\nthat makes it easy to move between parts of the plan. The plan’s elements are\r\ncleanly organized into categories, such as Executive Summary, Operating Plan,\r\nand Financial Assumptions.
