A small business might find sufficient 0063 functionality to use &kmymoney;, but features such as accounts-receivable and 0064 accounts-payable are not directly supported. However, it would be possible to 0065 create client, supplier, document, or other features through plugins. 0066 </para> 0067 0068 <para> 0069 &kmymoney; is not simply a clone of the commercially available personal 0070 finance programs. Although many of the features present in &kmymoney; can be 0071 found in other similar applications, &kmymoney; strives to present an 0072 individual and unique view of your finances. 0073 </para> 0074 0075 </sect1> 0076 </chapter>
