Its no secret that todays small-business owners have a lot on their plates. Meetings, customers, employees, government regulations and tax issues are enough to fill an entrepreneurs day from dawn until dusk. Keeping track of all the paperwork involved can be challenging even for the most organized person.

One of the best ways to stay organized is to have all of your important papers and phone numbers in one centralized document that is easily accessible," says Shane Reed, local Membership representative for the National Association for the Self-Employed. You should also have copies on file with a few trusted business advisors such as your attorney or accountant."

The NASE makes this chore easier by offering its Members a free Records Locator to help keep track of the location of important papers, such as wills, birth certificates, trust documents, partnership agreements and powers of attorney. With this valuable tool you know at a glance where your essential documents are stored.

Members also have access to useful information through an award-winning Web site at www.nase.org, an exclusive bimonthly magazine, and free business and tax advice. In addition, the NASE has a full-time Washington, D.C.-based legislative staff that gives its Members a strong political voice and the negotiating power that comes with group size.
