Home Business Start Up Needs a
Software Inventory Tool

In today’s world, home business start up operators handle a lot more equipment than operators did 20 years ago and to make it less stressful you need an equipment and software inventory tool. You may have equipment specific for producing product e.g. silk screen equipment plus you will have the normal computer and associated software that all businesses use. Due to manufacturers continually improving equipment we are often forced to constantly update our equipment and/or software and a software inventory tool becomes essential for any home business start up.

If you were asked to list all of the equipment and software packages you owned, let alone what their codes were and when their guarantees ran out; would you be able to do so? Of course not - and why should a busy entrepreneur even have to try to, when all he or she has to do is to refer to their software inventory tool; their Register!

No Cost

The Register you need to have at your fingertips:-
1. The date the equipment was purchased;
2. When you registered the guarantee (how much time have you spent looking for this when a piece of equipment breaks down?);
3. What is the serial number (ever had a piece of equipment stolen? – the first question the police ask...);
4. Not only do you need to know the cost, but also the replacement value (you are insured, aren’t you?)

In this register you could also consider maintenance (however, this could also be a separate template) - if asked last time your printer had maintenance - would you know? You could just wait until it breaks down and then have it looked at; but surely that inconvenience can throw you into stress overload; as it will inevitably break down just as you are in the middle of a big job with a deadline to meet. It is much more efficient and cheaper for you to choose the time for maintenance! Your software inventory tool, your register, is the place to have all this information recorded.

Home Business Start Up

Jeff Day wanted to have a special piece of software he had heard about that would make his workload easier. So he went and purchased it. It wasn’t until he went to install it on his computer that he discovered he already had it - it was included in a bundle of software that was on his computer when he purchased it. If he had a register and kept his records up to date he would have known and saved himself the time and cost let alone the embarrassment!

TIP for Home Business Start Up on Using Your Software Inventory Tool

When keeping a register consider writing down the purpose of the software too - if you are not a wiz kid with these things - it will help you to better understand what you have and what support it can give you.
