As the sole owner of a business, you will not be paid like an employee would, so there will not be any tax deductions from whatever money you decide to withdraw from your company's earnings. What you will have to do is to check the IRS office or a tax guide for small business owners, which will probably end up with you filing out an estimated tax return on a quarterly basis. The minute you open your doors for business, you'll have to spend some time engaged in the work of book-keeping. Exactly how, and using what forms, you keep books, should be on the recommendations of a good tax counselor... The same holds true for your overall business and/or payroll accounting system. Look for an experienced CPA that knows the accounting problems to your particular kind of business, and solicit his advise/counseling. If the company you are setting up is going to involve the purchase of the lease of operating equipment, again it's best practice that you seek advice from your tax counselor for the most beneficial method of obtaining the required equipment. Basically, arranging for your suppliers to give you materials on credit will depend upon your honesty and personal financial statement. The best way is usually a personal visit to the person with the power to approve or disapprove of credit at the company where you want to set up a credit account. Show him your financial statement, and explain your prospects for success. Then assure him that you've always honoured all of your obligations, and that if ever there's a question or problem, you'd like for him to call you at home. And of course, give him your home phone number. We won't delve into the inner workings of adverting your services, products or business here, but there is something along these lines that you should always be aware of. The best kind of advertising that your business can ever receive is the kind that you don't really pay for, which is publicity. Whenever something unexpected happens to you or your business or an employee, that's news, so be sure to get in contact with your local news outlet. In closing, let me say that the most important ingredient of your eventual success will be the soundness of the planning you did before you started your business. Any number of bad things can really throw your business into a tailspin, but if you've done your homework well - really set up a detailed business plan before starting - your losses or setbacks will be minimal. Success takes planning, and within this report, you've got a basic checklist... The rest is up to you...Good luck, and may your life overflow with success in all that you undertake from this moment forward.
