An independent consulting business has one of the lowest start-up costs.

As a new consultant, you basically need to a website, a logo, a scheduling application, a project management system, and maybe a customer relationship management system (CRM). The CRM is optional especially since there are multiple applications on the market that serve as both a project management and a customer relationship management system. You can also build automations, send invoices, and receive payments with these newfangled “client flow” or “productivity” platforms.

I spent under $1,000 when I started Grants Works in January 2020. Now there are so many applications competing for your time, and many are offering three-month or forever free trials. Of course, the point is that you will begin to rely on the application and will eventually become a customer.

I created this list of resources and software that have a total cost under $500 you can use to jumpstart your consulting business.
