Monday Update

Monday got you down? Well here is some good news! 

We have started a new Youtube Channel and are adding our Facebook Live videos for on-demand viewing! This, in addition to the Facebook page, is another way you can get all the information we share every week! 

In other news; Sunbiz has added an automated system that will notify you whenever a business filing has been processed. This added layer of security is to make sure that you can verify changes made to your business. If you receive an email from Sunbiz and you haven’t made a change make sure to call them to protect your business.

We are back!

Everyone has been feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma. Our offices have been without power for a few days. As of this morning, the power has been restored and we are back to work for you! If we can be of any assistance, please give us a call.

Starting a Business is More Than Just an Idea!!

About two months ago, I met a young man full of enthusiasm to start his own business providing lawn services. The momentum was lost after a few weeks and he abandoned the idea. You may think he gave up, however, it was the capital that dried up. He purchased a used trailer that ended up using all his financial resources in repairs.

Starting any business is more than an idea – it is a combination of the idea, the working capital, the resources, the business environment, and the government rules and regulations. By following the basic startup steps, you are not guaranteed success, however, the likelihood increases significantly when you follow these steps.

  1. Create a Business Plan
  2. Secure financing for your business
  3. Decide on the legal structure
  4. Register your Business
  5. Register for the federal and state taxes
  6. Get your business licenses and permits
  7. Understand your responsibilities as an Employer
