In a recent quest for Frugal Business Models, we were evaluating a possibility of running a business completely online. First search was on various resources required to run a business online. Criteria was Free Resources – ideally with no download requirement – better still no registration!
We found quite a few good ones away from the standard search around Google world. Might be useful for those interested in similar quests… Try it out and enjoy!
