Winning the Tax Game- End of the Season Tax Tips

If you think gridlock is a football term, you may not be too far out of bounds.  Tax cuts, tax increases and tax provisions are being passed back and forth in Washington, D. C. and whoever fumbles, loses.  That can be bad news for taxpayers. 
Look at what hangs in the balance:  Lower tax rates, the 15% capital gains rate on long-term investments, the 2% payroll tax cut, the 35% maximum estate and gift tax rates, direct IRA payouts to charity, higher alternative minimum tax exemptions, the deduction for state sales taxes and even the $250 deduction for out-of-pocket teacher supplies.  And you thought the potential for a 2012 catastrophe was only a Mayan myth.
Although we may be down to the final quarter of the year, there is still time before the two-minute warning, to take a look at your tax situation and see if you can save a few tax dollars.

BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT CENTER BLOG: What’s Your Business Exit Strategy?

BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT CENTER BLOG: What’s Your Business Exit Strategy?:
Contributed by Cassandra Jones, Esq. Houghton Jones, A.P.C.

You have worked hard to build your business. As you approach retirement, or the need to leave your business for other reasons, you should have a plan in place to wind up your business. There are several different types of exit strategies. Which one is right for you depends on factors like your customers, finances, your family, and your employees.

The most obvious strategy is simply to close down the business. When you close down the business you must be certain to properly wind down the business’ affairs. Just because you have decided to leave the business does not mean that the business’ responsibilities and obligations immediately cease. Final taxes must be filed and paid. Outstanding vendors must be paid. There should be a filing with the Secretary of State indicating that the business has been closed. Failure to properly wind down the business may expose you individually. For example, if the business has any unpaid debts, its assets should be used to satisfy those debts. If you take the assets without paying the debts, you may be risking future creditor’s efforts against you personally to recoup those assets. Continue reading…

6 Ways to Increase Revenue, part 2

PART 2 – DIVERSIFY and then DIVERSIFY some more!!

The 2nd way to Increase Revenues is to Diversify your business. Largely, due to the economy, we have been given the opportunity to take a peripheral look at our business and ask ourselves,

• “What else can I do with the product or service I already have”?

• “What related product or service can I offer to my already existing client base”?

• “What completely different product or service can I bring in to serve a completely different client base”?

Many small businesses grow by taking opportunities to diversify.

Simply put, these are the forms Diversification:

• New, related products or services to existing customers=RELATIONAL DIVERSIFYING

• New markets for existing products=HORIZONTAL DIVERSIFYING

• New products for new markets=PROBATIVE DIVERSIFYING

The ones that seek out different market segments are the ones that will most likely survive the present environment. Again, simply put companies do this:

• Take a look at their existing product or service

• Take a look at their current client and market base

Then they take a step back and ask, “Is there another demographic or psychographic segment that could use my product or service”? and “Can I adapt to offer another potential product or service or adapt to open up to another potential client pool”?

I would love to explore this with you, so give me a call at Matrix Leadership, LLC, 775.884.6161, and let’s get started creating more income through Diversifying.

Lee Iacocca said, “In times of great stress and adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and energy into something positive”.

6 Ways to Increase Revenue, part 1

Contributed by Jojo Myers, CEO- Matrix Leadership, LLC

PART 1 – Business and Strategic Planning

When I go into a business for the 1st time I do a Discovery. From my Discovery, I do a Needs Assessment, but one of my first questions I ask is, “May I see your business plan”?

I get (3) responses:

(1) Absolutely OR
(2) What business plan OR
(3) They start cinching their heart and I start giving CPR
MUCH to my surprise, many businesses do not have a completed business plan. WHAT???

This is your roadmap, your atlas, your lifeline. In today’s economy and marketplace we MUST write, revise, or get back to the Business Plan. A business plan is not just your Mission Statement or your Value Statement with a few Goals and Objectives listed, but it actually has a detailed action plan outlining your strategies, telling the story about how you are going to live up to that Mission and Value Statement. The story tells what strategies are in place or will be in place for your company to be a success.

However, they really AREN’T that much fun to do right? And YES, they are a lot of work, but worth it. If your business is more than a hobby, do not operate it without a Business Plan. Matrix Leadership can help you do that or I can recommend a company that can help you. Either way ……..get on it. Start 2012 with a roadmap of SUCCESS!!!
