Some new business services come from established financial technology players such as Yodlee; others hail from tiny startups. These apps can potentially help your SMB raise money, keep the books, find customers and investors, or simply ring up sales and get paid. Here are half a dozen that caught our attention at the Finovate Fall showcase in New York earlier this month.

Yodlee is best known for its consumer online banking software, which is by dozens of institutions, and it makes other finance apps. It recently unveiled the Yodlee SmallBusiness Suite, which includes widget-like components called FinApps. These handle payroll, invoicing, funds transfer, bookkeeping, trip-planning, inventory management, cash flow and expenses management, and more. Some involve partners that specialize in business tools, such as PaySimple, TouMetis and Working Point. Based on HTML5, FinApps will run on multiple devices. Yodlee won't offer them directly; rather, they will be deployed by its financial institution partners.

There's more to running a brick-and-mortar business than swiping plastic à la the Square card reader. ShopKeep takes mobile commerce to a new level with a complete cloud-based point-of-sale service accessed via its new iPad app, ShopKeepPOS. In tandem with a card swiper, a cash box, and a receipt printer, ShopKeepPOS lets you easily ring up sales and collect sales tax and train employees to do so in minutes. It also affords anywhere-access to income and inventory reports--all for $49 a month (excluding payment gateway fees) for a single register.
