According to a 2020 studyAn estimated 59 million Americans freelanced during the Covid-19 epidemic, equivalent to 36% percent of the nation’s total workforce. The US has a growing number of freelancers. It is estimated that they will exceed 90.1 millions by 2028. This is estimated to contribute $1.2 trillion to the U.S economy.
Independent workers today are becoming an important part of the American workforce. They are busy and often manage multiple clients across multiple time zones. The operational challenges of owning a business come with them. A survey of over 200 independent business owners by Indy in 2021 found that approximately 25% of respondents spend at least 10 hours per month on work not related to their business or paid projects. Invoicing, billing, managing contracts, expenses, and organizing workflow are all administrative tasks that can hinder your ability to grow and manage your business in today’s highly competitive and decentralized marketplace.
Indy’s survey found that 30% of respondents use at most five tools and 44% spend over $50 per month. This includes a subset of those who pay $300 each month for tools that they need to run and manage their business. These small-business owners, solopreneurs, and self-employed cited cost, accessibility, and ease of use as the most important criteria when choosing the right services to increase their business’ productivity and growth.
