This is normally a media-centric blog, but every now and again, a great business idea comes across the ol’ Powerbook screen, and it’s worth mentioning.
As tax time approaches once again for those filing annually, the archaic methods of government entities never ceases to amaze me. Case in point: keeping receipts for tax purposes. Some folks scan in their receipts; others use a filing system — but for most of us, it’s a good old shoebox.
Hence the name of Shoeboxed, a small business that literally takes your tax-deductible receipts (or any receipts for that matter) and will scan them in and organize them for your records. Prices are affordable, and if you’re going for more than the standard deduction, more than likely well worth the money it would otherwise cost to scan, file or god forbid, have to sort due to an audit.
And for the sales guy or networking guru, they scan business cards as well.
