As a business owner managing fixed assets, you'll need to maintain various paperwork and documentation to ensure accurate accounting, and compliance.

Here's a list of important paperwork for fixed assets:

1. Documentation for each fixed asset purchase, including invoices or receipts.

2. A detailed record or register that includes information about each fixed asset, such as its description, purchase date, cost, useful life, and depreciation.
