Strengths: Easy to use interface and lots of features created for the small business owner

Weaknesses: Not meant for organizations with more that 3 to 4 people

Though there are many automation tools available for small and new business owners, only a handful of them manage to make the cut and deliver a very good quality output to users. The MYOB BusinessBasics is one of them. The beauty of the software is that it is very easy to use and does not require any major software knowledge to get started. Apart from that, the BusinessBasics software has features which deliver some very useful features for all small businesses.

MYOB BusinessBasics is a good alternative to a spreadsheet and any business looking for growth should opt for it in order to meet its growing demand for accounting information. Modules include a VAT (or local taxes as applicable) section and there is free support available at all times which helps you go through any teething issues which you might have. BusinessBasics is mostly meant for one to two people organizations and thus it is not suitable for a mid-sized business.

User friendly features of the MYOB BusinessBasics include compatibility with Mac and an interface which is quite easy to use. The contact manager is really useful and the invoice creation section allows you to deliver ‘professional-looking’ invoices to customers which might not demonstrate the small size of the company. Similar to other MYOB products, BusinessBasics keeps the users’ requirements in the forefront when creating the software.
