Proven SMB systems, services, support
Atlanta-based Company.com created a comprehensive suite of enterprise-grade software and business resources. The cohesive cloud-based services aggregate both a range of productivity and social networking resources to help business owners manage operations, build meaningful relationships and achieve sustainable growth, company representatives stated.
"Small and midsize businesses make up more than 96 percent of U.S. businesses, and they need to be agile and efficient to make quick decisions and scale their companies," said Bill Wade, founder and Chief Executive Officer at Company.com. "As entrepreneurs who have grown and scaled businesses, our management knows businesses need a wealth of resources within easy reach. Our product suite consolidates productivity, collaboration and full-service financial services in a single stop."
Diversified services, solutions
Having spent countless hours building infrastructure, Company.com leaders tapped the resources that had helped them start, grow and sell their former businesses, Wade said. A full range of trustworthy, vetted resources in a single dashboard frees small and midsize business (SMB) owners to focus on their core competencies and businesses, he added.
The company noted that its Business Suite, available as a free bundle or in a premium version, includes the following:
- Team collaboration: Messaging and file sharing enable team members to communicate across connected devices. Advanced search and tagging expedites document sharing and feedback.
- Search optimization: Business owners use this tool to improve online and mobile web search rankings, increase business visibility and leverage geolocation tools to target nearby customers.
- Hiring: HR solutions streamline the hiring process, helping business owners post job openings on multiple job boards, find and evaluate candidates, and manage applications.
- Equipment protection plan: Repair and replacement coverage for office equipment can save time and money on equipment maintenance and minimize downtime.

Business owners can choose from hundreds of customizable templates to create a personalized, branded site, with domain name, mobile optimization and social media integration.
- Tech support: Business owners can outsource IT department functions to receive expert advice, online and phone support, and security compliance. The service also includes virus removal, the ability to add unlimited devices to a network and dedicated staff.
- Business email package: Business Suite subscribers receive a free email package for up to four users. Upgrades for more users are available. The email is linked to a business-related domain name, providing a professional appearance.

Merchant services include PCI and EMV compliance for online, in-store and mobile POSs; automated account settlement; and continuous support.
