Running any small business involves a lot of hard work and planning, from building your business plan and finding initial funding, to applying for and getting the permits and licenses needed to operate. And then there is the confusing task of navigating the convoluted tax code as it pertains to businesses. A recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) found that over half of small-business owners find the current tax code to be “too complicated, too politically motivated, and inconsistent”.
There are lessons to be learned from successful business start-ups but don’t ignore the poignant lessons on what not to do from those businesses that failed. According to the US Small Business Administration, 50% of small businesses fail in the first year, with lack of experience listed as the top reason for failure. If you are not prepared or knowledgeable about the tax code and how it will impact your business venture, you are not ready to go it alone.
