Perhaps that\u2019s why there were nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/fortunly.com\/statistics\/startup-statistics\/#:~:text=There%20were%2030.7%20million%20small%20businesses%20in%20the%20U.S.%20in%202019.&amp;text=Entrepreneur%20statistics%20reveal%20growth%20of,the%20country's%20entire%20private%20workforce.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">31 million small businesses<\/a> in the U.S. in 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While the typical small size of a startup allows it to be more versatile and agile than its oversized competitors, they often face unique challenges as well. Between never-ending to-do lists, funding fumbles, and navigating industry technology, startups can crumble before their foundation is even poured.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are services and tools that can help startups not just stay in the game but come out ahead of their competitors. One such tool is Onehub, a cloud-based platform offering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/solutions\/secure-file-sharing\">secure file sharing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/features-index#collaboration\">collaboration tools<\/a> for startups in a variety of industries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re a startup struggling to keep your head above water, see how Onehub\u2019s file sharing solution for startups can help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Common Startup Challenges (with Solutions from Onehub)<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Of course Onehub can help startups store and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/solutions\/secure-file-sharing\">share files securely<\/a> and confidently. But here are three ways the file sharing service can help with other common startup challenges.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited funding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Startups aren\u2019t known for having piles of cash available for marketing, supplies, and payroll. While raising funds should always be on a startup\u2019s radar, finding ways to stretch the budget they do have is important as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/solutions\/online-data-storage\">cloud storage solution<\/a> like Onehub won\u2019t directly put money in a startup\u2019s bank account. But it can help in several indirect ways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, studies show that the equivalent of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xenit.eu\/blog\/do-workers-still-waste-time-searching-for-information#:~:text=According%20to%20Interact%20Source%2C%2019.8,the%20workday%2C%20searching%20for%20information.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one working day per week is wasted<\/a> by employee\u2019s searching for job-related documents. Onehub can help make every payroll hour count with their organizational and document search features.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Onehub\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/features-index#collaboration\">collaboration and personalization tools<\/a> can help startups impress and secure more clients, ideally growing their financial resources for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Onehub&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/solutions\/virtual-data-room\">virtual data rooms<\/a> can help startups go through fundraising rounds to earn more capital and has the features you require and expect from data rooms, all without breaking the budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And finally, Onehub also offers users four different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pricing tiers<\/a>, allowing startups to choose the features they need without going over budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time management<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Research has shown that up to <a href=\"https:\/\/firstround.com\/review\/70-of-Time-Could-Be-Used-Better-How-the-Best-CEOs-Get-the-Most-Out-of-Every-Day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">70% of a CEOs schedule<\/a> is spent on tasks that don\u2019t add up to great time management skills. This can be especially true in a startup, where the to-do lists tend to grow and the hours in a day stay the same.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Onehub helps teams, whether made of a sole CEO or a small army of hungry entrepreneurs, boost productivity levels by simplifying several common business processes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Need to send an email to a client reminding them to sign their contract? Just send a message through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehub.com\/solutions\/client-portal\">client portal<\/a> in Onehub that not only nudges your client to sign but lets them view all submitted documents, including the original proposal, in one place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Do you need to send the new employee handbook to your team?
