.org If you are starting a business it is extremely important to keep clear and detailed records of your income and expenses. Often entrepreneurs have their mind on other things besides record keeping and planning ahead for tax time. However, it is much easier to keep track of receipts and expenses due to the improvements in scanning technology. There are several portable and desk top scanners available that will be a great investment for anyone starting or growing a business.
If you want to TRY NEATportable single sheet scanner that is the perfect size to take with you anywhere. It is especially great for receipts of course it will handle larger documents also. The Neatworks
software is excellent and allows it allows you to key word search your documents once you have them on your computer.
The Neat Company also has a powerful desktop scanner they have coined the Neat Desk. It also has an automated document feed that will accept up to 50 documents at a time. If you have a large number of invoices or billing sheets this machine will save you time and money in the long run.
The people over at the Neat Company have created two very solid, user friendly scanners in Neat Desk

| The Flip Pal Portable Scanner |
TheFlip Pal 
is a very neat scanner that can scan go anywhere with you. It is small enough for your brief case and it comes with stitching software that will let you scan an object in sections. The software "stitches" a document because it will take more than one scan to get a normal sheet of paper into the Flip Pal. But it is versatile and it even lets you scan photos on the wall and still in the frame. My favorite of all the portable scanners is the Vupoint Scanner
called the Magic Wand
. This is the most portable and most useful of all the scanners in my opinion. It is much different from anything that has been on the market in the past. Instead of putting the document through the scanner, you wave the Vupoint Magic Wand over the document or pages of a book or magazine and it saves it to a micro disk
to be down loaded to your computer for filing. Here are a couple of other scanners to check out.
