Am I Planning for Success or Disaster? Business Start-up and Taxes

Many times the accounting or tax professional is the last person an entrepreneur speaks to when starting a business. When in actuality the tax professional is first person you should consult when starting a business. This episode will discuss the importance validating your business idea, developing a business plan, and selecting a structure (Sole-Proprietorship, Corporation, LLC, or Partnership) for tax purposes. Proper planning and guidance in each of these areas will help you to succeed in starting and operating your business. You will see the importance of proper accounting and payment systems, so you can take the right steps and make a profit faster.

Questions to Ask When Buying a Business

Business

Each year I learn about disasters that occur when my clients or others either buy or start a business. Why do these disasters happen? Many times the problems start because of consulting the attorney and the banker, but not consulting their tax professional. Why is it necessary to consult a tax professional when starting or buying a business? With good planning and discussion tax issues can be avoided and tax liabilities can be minimized by working with a tax professional even before buying or starting a business. If you wait until tax season to inform your tax professional, you could then be facing a large tax bill. And, the ability to take advantage of any additional tax deductions for the start-up year is greatly reduced.

When you consider buying a business, there are many tax and accounting questions that have to be asked. You need to consult tax professional not working for the current business owner. This is even more necessary if you have been working in the accounting department for the company you are looking to buy.

Some points about buying a business you need to consider are:

What type of entity is the business you are looking to buy?
If the business is a corporation, will I be buying the stock of the corporation or the assets of the corporation?
What type of business entity is best for my situation?

These are only a few of the questions a prospective business owner must get answered before signing any papers to purchase a business. The answer to these and many other questions will determine how the buying and operating of the business will affect your tax situation.

I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with an Enrolled Agent, like myself for a Free Business Discovery Session, when you consider either starting a business or buying a business. By consulting with me now, you will save on tax payments and tax headaches later.

Am I Planning for Success or Disaster? Business Startup and Taxes

Business

Your have the idea. You have the skill of a trade for which you are passionate. You believe there is a need in your area or on the internet for your services. Where to begin is the BIG question. What kind of business structure should I have? A sole-proprietorship? An LLC? A Corporation? A Partnership? To whom should I go visit first, an attorney, the banker, or my tax person? To often when starting a new business the prospective new business owner goes either to the attorney and/or the banker first and never considers their tax person. Many times the tax person does not learn of the business until the time comes to file the tax return. In fact, the first stop when looking to start the business should be to the tax preparer’s office.

For example, when a client or potential client comes in or schedules a video conference, we sit down and have a free discovery session about their business idea. We want to help you own a business that will bring you the joy and freedom you deserve. From the beginning, you will learn the correct steps to become profitable faster.

First, you will need a business plan to document success for your business. The plan will identify you unique elements for success. Second, what business structure will give you the most benefits and protection? By analyzing your goals and understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of each structure you will be able to know whether you should be a corporation? LLC? or Sole Proprietorship? Third, we will help with the heavy lifting of startup for your company, including tax registrations, Federal ID numbers, assistance with bank accounts and more. Fourth and most importantly, you will need to manage profits. We help to implement your accounting and payroll systems, so you can fully understand the status of your business and know when to make adjustments.

A customized success plan designed just for you will help you to take the right steps from day one and put you on the road to making a profit.

What is perception? Perception comes from the Latin word âperceptioâ which means receiving, collecting, an action of taking possession with the mind or senses. Perception is an intuitive understanding of something, the understanding of an impression. Or is it, as a Google definition proclaims, a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression?â Is âperceptionâ synonymous with âjudgmentâ or âbeliefâ? Does it have an unmistakable subjective, even illusory, quality?

Join Hosts Asya Gonzalez and Henna Hundal as they dissect, debate, and discuss this mode of communication.

In Health Rap, Alex Pawlakos examines how a personâs perception of their own health and health risks has important implications for their actual health.

Halloween Witch & Horror Writer By Cynthia Brian

Every Tuesday at NOON PT, the talented teens of Be the Star You Are!Â® bring you an exciting, informative, mind-boggling program with fresh ideas from youthful minds. Join the fun!

Halloween is THE favourite holiday for many teens and our hosts Asya Gonzalez and Brigitte Jia are among those who love October. Today they interview two fascinating authors around the theme of Halloween: the King of Witches, Devin Hunter, whose new book is The Witches Book of Power and Australian author and gamer, Brewinâ with his supernatural horror, The Dark Horde. Instead of being dark and frightening, Devinâs book empowers readers to ignite the fire within. He discusses the importance of being unique and reaching your magical potentials. Part thriller and part crime-fiction, Brewinâs, The Dark Horde tells of the return of an ancient evil that is neither stoppable nor comprehensible. Brewinâ is also the creator of the sci-fi games, Gamebooks Adventures. The hosts were very excited about downloading the series immediately to start playing. Both authors were questioned about their Halloween experiences and what theyâll be doing on this next hallowed eve. An entertaining hour of G rated conversations. Donât be afraid to let the kids tune in.

Faith, family, and friends are critical to happiness and decisions determine our destiny.

World Watch reporter, Joven Hundal takes us on a journey of technological advances over the past 16 years showing us why we need to appreciate the gift of âtodayâ. In Aim to Shoot, Katie Choo covers numerous opportunities for careers in a variety of fields. Embrace the present, live for today and take the advice of Mike McMoy: âReact, reflect, and respond.â

Each day brings an opportunity to enliven, inspire, and elevate other peopleâs lives. The question is, how are you going to find the big and small ways to be caring and helpful? Hosts Henna Hundal and Asya Gonzalez explore what it means to act with altruism, to fulfill our civic virtues, to be our neighborâs keeper, and to be our most benevolent selves. The Gift of Giving reporter, Katelyn Darrow, shares stories from her life that inspired her to create Angels of God charity and encourages acts of kindness every day. For a fresh perspective on the topic, the youngest person ever to audition for be a reporter on Express Yourself!â¢, ten-year-old Sam Casey along with his cousin, Eddie, join the ladies with a new segment called Game Boys. Whether playing on-line games is helpful is debatable, so weâll wait to hear from you.

Be helpful. Care, share, and be fair.
