(M) Legal, Accounting, and Insurance Basics for Business - Free Workshop
When you open your doors, have you covered the bases legally? Do you have the necessary registrations, licenses, and permits? Do you need contracts with your employees and/or customers? What are your legal responsibilities to your employees and/or contractors? All of these issues should be planned for and addressed before they become problems and impact your ability to succeed in business. Kevin Pethick, Partner at Austin & Pethick Law Firm, PC, will answer your legal questions about:
- Business structure and asset protection
- Partnership agreements
- Non-disclosure and non-compete agreements
- Real estate decisions
- Employment matters
- Workers Comp
- Corporate compliance
- Licensing
- Business estate planning
Starting a business is exciting, but also overwhelming. It is tempting to concentrate on what makes money for the business and let necessary business structure and accounting decisions slide until it is too late. Joel Stewart, Partner at Serotta Maddocks and Evans, CPAs, will help prepare you for business ownership. You don’t have to be an accountant to do a great job of record keeping, but you do need to understand some basic principles and terms. In this workshop, Joel will:
- Provide an overview of basic business tax structures and their similarities and differences
- Discuss accounting systems and their implementation
- Cover many of the different tax reporting and licensing agencies
- Offer advice on employees and subcontractors
- Walk through basic financial statements
- Talk about common business deductions
- General Liability Insurance
- Property Insurance
- Workers Compensation Insurance
- Commercial Auto Insurance
- Commercial Umbrella Insurance
- Management and Professional Liability Insurance
- Business Income Insurance
