Xero & QuickBooks Slug it out on Receipt Scanning Features

Xero Accounting Pricing Comparison shows extra for Projects and Expenses - Online Training Courses & Advanced Xero Certificate

Start or buy an online drop shipping business using Shopify and Oberlo - online training courses to work remotely from home - EzyLearn

I’ve been speaking to an ex-corporate employee from the US lately and we were talking about buying an online business. It’s something that I have spoken with people about a lot but it seems to be more relevant now that we’re all stuck at home!

The common words online business buyers and sellers use are “drop shipping”, “affiliate marketing”, and “advertising revenue” and they are synonymous with Google and Amazon. It’s little wonder these companies continue to grow during the Covid19 crisis, but there is lots more to consider.
