Small business owners are very busy. Most don’t have the time or knowledge to keep their financial records in order.

Small companies are often short on employees, and can’t afford to add another person to the payroll.

Big companies need extra people for special projects, but short-term hires can cost big time in unemployment costs.

What’s happening in your business?

Starting a new business or expanding the business you have are both scary things. You don’t want to make a wrong move, but you want to move forward. You need to figure out the risks involved, and how to overcome them. You need a plan of action that won’t bankrupt you, but is clearly laid out and do-able.  

There are so many questions involved in starting a business. 

What state/federal agencies do I need to register with?

What identification numbers do I need?

What kind of records do I have to keep?

How do I handle payroll taxes?

Can I get a bank loan? How?

The bank wants to see my Business Plan…what is that?

What kind of insurances do I need to get?

Should I register as a sole proprietor, or do I need to incorporate?

What type of corporation? 

Do I need to collect sales tax?

How much money do I have to make each day, just to break even?

What are overhead expenses, and how much will they be? 

How is depreciation figured?

Can I write off my car expenses?

If you’ve been doing a little work on the side for a while now and you’re ready to turn this hobby into a business, you need to go about it properly. The last thing you want to do is get on the wrong side of the IRS!
