eSignatures for Small
Business Owners

Australian small businesses waste thousands of dollars each year on printing, posting, and chasing paper signatures. Here is how to fix that for less than a dollar a day.

The Real Cost of Paper Signatures

For most small business owners, document signing feels like a minor overhead. But when you add up the true cost -- printing, envelopes, postage, scanning, filing, storage, and the labour to manage all of it -- paper signatures are surprisingly expensive. Then factor in the delays: the average paper document takes 5-7 days to get signed and returned. Electronic signatures reduce that to under 24 hours.
