Challenges

What challenges do small businesses face regarding documents and PDFs?

Due to the entrepreneurial opportunities fostered by the growing US economy, the number of small businesses in the US has increased rapidly.
By 2022, there were 33.2 million small businesses in the US, accounting for 99.9% of all businesses there. The rise in 2022 is representative of the continued expansion of small businesses in the country, as the number increased by 12.2% from 2017 to 2022.

Challenge 1: Tight Budget

Successful small businesses lie in cash flow management. They prefer cost-effective document editing software suitable for different scenarios. The tool your rely on must solve the most document processing problems with the lowest budget.

Challenge 2: Document Collaboration

Time is money! Small business owners must communicate with vendors, customers, and team members. A simplified document workflow will improve document collaboration, speed up communication, and shorten turnaround time.

Challenge 3: Multi-Platform Apps

Small business owners may frequently leave the workplace to meet with vendors, clients, or potential investors. Your software must be portable and compatible with desktop computers and mobile devices with different operating systems.

Challenge 4: No Extra Effort

Small business owners wear a lot of hats. Using hard-to-learn software will cost you extra time and effort. You need an intuitive application with organized patterns to minimize the learning curve and use it right off the bat.

Do Market Research

Why do market research?

By conducting market research, you can find out if there is a chance to turn your idea into a profitable business. Marker research helps you gather information about potential customers and existing businesses in the same industry. With that information, you may identify a competitive advantage for your company.

Write Business Plan

Why is a business plan important?

A good business plan helps you establish and run your business. It's a useful tool for persuading a new investor or partner, and it can improve your chances of getting a loan.

PDFelement's Solution:

Highlight useful information, add text notes, export the annotated pages only, and distill vast information down into a few pages.

Search keywords to quickly locate the target part. Use the Advanced search feature to adjust your search conditions and find relevant information easily.

Prepare Supporting Documents

How to fund your business？

You can obtain capital for your company in many ways. Among them, small business loans are a great option if you lack the start fund and wish to maintain total control over your company. You must prepare many documents for applying for such a loan, except for the application form. Varying from the different requirements of different banks, you may need to prepare a copy of your Social Security Card, an income statement, tax schedules, etc.

Fill in Loan Application Forms

Why use electronic forms instead of paper forms?

E-forms cut the cost of printers, paper, ink, storage, and delivery fees. Compared to handwriting on paper forms, typing is much faster. Text input on e-forms is easily recognized. The editable PDF forms can be easily amended and accessed from any device. The legally-binding e-signature enhances information security and streamlines the application process.

PDFelement's Solution:

Easily scan paper-based documents into PDF with PDFelement for iOS, upload them to the Document Cloud, and transfer them to your PC.

Take photos of each side of your ID card. Use the Combine feature to merge multiple images into one PDF.

If your supporting documents for online applications exceed the file size limit, use the compress feature to reduce the file size or split large files into multiple small ones.

Get Proposal & Quote

What are RFP and RFQ？

A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that asks for proposals from potential vendors to carry out a new project proposed by the company or other entity that issues it. A request for quotes (RFQ) is a purchase order in which a business asks suppliers to provide quotes and submit bids for the project.

Sign Contract

Why do electronic contracts improve cooperation efficiency?

Compared with paper contracts, signing and negotiating electronic contracts is much easier with digital management tools. Online electronic agreements guarantee quick and secure access from multiple parties. Every revision is stored and traceable in digital documents. Unlike vulnerable paper files, documents stored in the cloud are more secure.

PDFelement's Solution:

Choose and download suitable RFP and RFQ PDF templates from the Template Mall of PDFelement to simplify creation of documents.

Directly edit the texts, images, graphics, and logos on the PDF templates, or convert PDF templates to Excel and edit them.

Reduce Management Costs

How does a paperless office reduce management costs?

Going paperless reduces storage & stationery costs. By eliminating labor-intensive paperwork, employees focus on other valued work and get access to target files with a few clicks. With the license management tool, you can track your software asset deployment and maximize the life cycle of assets to cut licensing expenses.

Accelerate Team Productivity

How do PDF editors accelerate team productivity?
