It’s a good time to be a business owner as business technology has come a long way since the days of cash registers and paper files.
You can virtually manage every aspect of your business finances with a simple accounting mobile app for your phone or tablet.
These are the top (free) money management apps to consider downloading. You may wonder how you ever lived without some of them.
PayPal
Send invoices via email, accept credit card payments without a credit card terminal and transfer money between online banking accounts with ease
These are just some of the things you can do with the PayPal money app for your Smartphone, Blackberry or Android device. The app is free to download and use.
The only fees you will see are the fees associated with the transaction itself. For example, payments received through invoice might have a 2-3% fee that comes directly out of the payment received.
