As an Internet entrepreneur, one of the first things you will want to look for is small business software. All programs are different, with varying features and price ranges, but there is a fit for any type of business. You can pick and choose if you want to go small scale, using Outlook for contact management and Quicken to manage your books for example. You can also go with software that combines many features into one package:

Core features of a small business software :

• Contact Management
• Sales Force Automation
• Inventory Management
• Purchasing and Vendor Management
• Productivity Tools
• Payroll and Employee Management
• Financial Management
• Time and Billing
• Fully integrated Web Store
• Order Management and Fulfillment
• Customer and Vendor Center

Sit down and just write out your business process to see what types of things a software solution can help with. After doing that, choosing the right package should be simple.
