Are you starting a small business in 2022? Here’s what you should consider first.

There are many things to think about when starting a small business, and telecommunications may not necessarily be at the top of your list. However, if you're only just starting out, it's essential to make sure you have the right processes in place as it will form an essential part of all communications. 

Whether you’re a one-person show, have a brick and mortar storefront, work from home, or have remote workers, it’s crucial to ensure your telco infrastructure will effectively support your venture.

Here are some areas for you to consider when it comes to setting up your telecommunications:

 

  • NBN - Check whether you are able to access Business NBN at your location. It may be harder to get for some rural and remote areas, but a quality telco provider should do their research and provide you with all available options.

 

  • Phone Calls - Consider SIP Trunk for your business phone needs. “SIP” is Session Initiation Protocol, or using computers to send and receive calls. With SIP Trunk, you can save money with no need for a landline.

 

  • Packages - Ask questions, and ensure they have a package tailored to your needs. You may be stationary, on the go or have remote team members, you may need more equipment or less depending on what industry you’re in. Never settle for a cookie-cutter approach. Only pay for what you need.

 

  • Customer Support - No matter which telco provider you choose, make sure you consider their ability to provide you with 24/7 customer support and assistance. (Tip: if they have an on-shore support team, they will be faster and more reliable with their service.)

We always recommend checking the above when you are setting up a new business, or even relocating an existing business.
