Use Technology To Your Advantage<\/h3>\n

\n5 Ways Tech Startups Can Save Money<\/em><\/p>\n

There is no end to the technological potential available for most digital startups today. If you\u2019re wise enough to do your homework, you can start your business for tens of thousands less than your competitors, and get yourself profitably \u201cin the green\u201d in less time than has been the average.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to need to incorporate a multi-pronged approach which considers diverse factors. For example, you\u2019re going to want the latest in architectural, energy, technology, and infrastructural innovation. Consider this scenario: you build and own your own building, design it grid-independent and receive a tax-break to do so, and almost entirely curtail the need for on-site networks or employees.<\/p>\n

This can be done through purchase of a prefabricated metal building. Such buildings can be built at a baseline of $16 per square foot\u2014though with amenities and finishing touches, you\u2019ll probably be closer to $60 by the time the building is finished. That means on the high end you\u2019ve got a 2,000 square-foot building for $120k. On the low-end, you\u2019ve got it for $32k.<\/p>\n

Green Energy<\/h3>\n

\nSMART STARTUP HAS A NEW IDEA FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND IT INVOLVES GIANT KITES<\/em><\/p>\n

Now you want to outfit that building with sustainable energy solutions. As a digital startup, depending on your concentration, operations may or may not need to be centrally located. If central location isn\u2019t key to operations, for sustainability purposes, it makes sense to build your structure near a moving body of water.<\/p>\n

It turns out that going the green-energy route may additionally prove a cost-effective investment. That way you can install water turbines, solar energy systems and<\/i> wind turbines. Spending $5k per system, you\u2019d be at $15k by the time this was done, and probably average around 15.3 kWh should all three systems be activated simultaneously. Now you\u2019ve got a redundantly secured energy system that\u2019s entirely off-grid and costs you nothing to use.<\/p>\n

BYOD And The Cloud<\/h3>\n

\nThe Privacy Issues You Should (And Shouldn\u2019t) Worry About With BYOD<\/em><\/p>\n

Once you get your building set up, you\u2019ll want to outsource your business\u2019s network to the cloud. Use Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) to \u201cfloat\u201d your network such that wherever the internet can be accessed, so can your system. Now you can incorporate a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) system which cuts the cost of hardware.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll additionally want to employ cloud-based applications for purposes of security and infrastructural fluidity. These can help reduce the number of employees necessary to helm operations. A great way to do this is through applications that surrogate traditional office roles, like payroll and timekeeping.<\/p>\n

When it comes to using time sheets, there are digital solutions that are definitely considerable. Downloadable timesheets will maximize their functionality and streamline how you track time. This way you will get an easy overview of how many hours your team has been working.<\/p>\n

Your final step might be to cut redundancies out of intra-business transactions. A great way to do this is to seek credit card processing fee reduction through specialized agencies.<\/p>\n

Everything Working Together<\/h3>\n

\nAmazon\u2019s cashier-free Go stores may only need six human employees<\/em><\/p>\n

If you own instead of rent, you\u2019ll save thousands a month. If you outsource hardware to BYOD solutions over the cloud, you\u2019ll save tens of thousands annually. Streamlining business through cloud-based apps that surrogate the need for traditional employees can save you $30k+ a year (that\u2019s at least one qualified individual\u2019s salary), and sustainable energy options cut utility costs continually.<\/p>\n

Through these means, a startup can excise as much as $100k or even more from initiation expenses. That $100k during the first five years could be the difference between successful operation and expansion, and bankruptcy. So do your homework and use technology to your advantage. You may save tens of thousands of dollars as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
