One of the biggest benefits of using an open-source platform, or any other platform that’s free to use and modify, for your business is that you can do so without having to pay licensing fees. This benefit alone can save you tens of thousands of dollars in your first year alone, which is money that you can then funnel into growing your business even further! And if you don’t have the money, to begin with, the savings make it more likely that you’ll be able to start your own business in the first place.
