Essential Computer Skills for Small Business Owners

Introduction

Small shops now compete with big brands online. Customers expect fast replies and digital bills. Owners who still write bills by hand lose money daily. Mastering Basic Computer Skills decides if your business grows or closes. Sharada Academy helps thousands of entrepreneurs learn practical Computer Literacy Training in just weeks.

1.Importance of Digital Skills in Small Businesses

Customers search Google before buying. They pay through UPI and expect GST invoices on WhatsApp. Without Basic Computer Skills, owners depend on others for everything. Staff cheat when the boss cannot check files. Marketing stays zero because Facebook ads look scary. Late replies kill sales. Digital-savvy owners close more deals from home. They track stock on mobile. They file GST themselves. Their profit grows while others struggle.

2.Key Software Business Owners Must Learn

Start with Windows basics. Learn folders, copying files, and installing software. Move to Google Chrome for fast browsing. Master WhatsApp Business for free marketing. Use Canva to create posters in minutes. Learn UPI apps like PhonePe and Google Pay. Install free antivirus. These simple tools run 80% of daily work. Sharada Academy teaches exactly these in the first week of Computer Literacy Training.
