The Future Business

When we started Markaaz, we had been studying small businesses, across the world, for years. 

It was only when we went through the same challenges as other small businesses that we realized what they needed.  

As businesses grow, there is a natural tendency to sign up for more and more business apps (most start with an email and accounting package and then add CRM, payroll, and marketing apps). If you are like most, before you know it, you end up with 20+ different browser tabs pinned to your favorites that you check daily for updates– none of which connect.  

The same goes for your essential documents. You might start with just your certificate of incorporation. Still, before you know it, you add bylaws, your EIN confirmation letter, and business owner insurance, and soon you need a whole filing system.  

Staying ahead

At Markaaz, we thought there had to be a better way to stay on top of all this. This back and forth between apps or looking for the right documents takes about 30% of your time.  

That’s how the Markaaz Dashboard came about! We’ve built the only place where you can organize your business in a single location, see

Your business already has a credit score. Do you know what it is? We talk to David Adams, Head of Product Marketing, Commercial
Equifax Inc., to discover how your business credit score affects your business 

Whether you know it or not, your small business started receiving a credit score as soon as you registered your business with your state. Like your personal score, it’s essential you work to maintain and improve that score. A better score allows you to access better credit and improve business growth. 

When you register your business with your state, credit score companies get a business registration notification and start a digital credit file. As your business grows, more and more information is added to your file based on your various business transactions, which strengthen or weaken your small business credit score based on your history. 

These payments include phone and internet service payments, rental agreements and rental payments, credit cards, and other recurring business payments and expenses. Paying your business bills on time gives you a good business credit score, which includes utility information.

Some credit agencies, such as Equifax, now have access to a utility payments database. This database can help new businesses or

What does a start-up need to know about payments and payment processing? Jerry McCarley, CTO, Markaaz explains

Selecting a suitable payment processor can be challenging for a start-up. However, it is one of the most essential steps to setting up a successful small business, whether you are taking online payments or using a point-of-sale system.  

Choosing the right vendor for payment processing is the key to a successful business. No small business owner wants the payment process to become challenging or too arduous for their clients resulting in abandoned carts and incomplete payments.  

We have all heard of the big payment processors, such as Stripe, PayPal, and First Data, but how do you choose the right one for your business? Let’s dive into what a payment processor is and what they do for your business. 

What is a payment processor? 

A payment processor is a technology that enables your small business to take payments safely and securely for goods and services for your small business. The types of payments these processors handle for your small business include debit cards, credit cards, and direct bank account payments. 

Your payment processing software is linked to your business bank account and can transfer
