Excerpts from the Course:

Section 5: BUSINESS ESSENTIALS - Taxes and Insurance

Lecture - Tax Deductions for a Small Business

"...will talk about the write-offs commonly available to small businesses that are organized as sole proprietorships, partnerships, or limited liability companies (LLCs). Some of these are directly related to running a business, and some are more personal deductions that a small business owner should be aware of because making the most of all your available tax deductions can save you hundreds—even thousands—of dollars when is tax time. We’ll get into details, but first, let’s look at a real example.

Jennifer is a self-employed, sole proprietor life coach who made $60,000 in self-employment taxable income in 2020. For simplicity we will say that she is single, not married with no children and no other types of taxable income to take in consideration. This is her full-time occupation. Based on her income, she must pay 15.3% self-employment tax plus income tax based on her individual tax rate - we’re assuming she doesn’t live in Florida or in another state without income tax. Therefore, the self-employment tax on $60,000 is $9,180 and the income tax is $4,865, for a total of $14,045 that she needs to pay in taxes at first glance. But Jennifer likes the idea of not paying in taxes more than necessary, therefore, in January 2021, Jennifer went to see an accountant for the first time and by looking at her books, the accountant identified $6,000 worth of contractor expenses that Jennifer’s business had in 2020. These expenses count as tax deductions and reduce Jennifer’s net self-employment income to $54,000 instead of the initial $60,000.00. Now, with $54,000 in taxable self-employment income, Jennifer has to pay $8,262 in self-employment tax and $4,200 in income tax, for a total of $12,462. That’s $1,583 in savings after including the contractor tax deduction. What other tax deductions are there?***"

Section 2: BUSINESS ESSENTIALS - Planning the Business

Lecture - The Executive Summary

"Here's a suggested format for an executive summary:

1. What's the business idea, what problem does it solve and how does it fit into the marketplace?

You’ll need to explain why your idea has merit and how it can solve a common problem by making things easier, faster, or cheaper for the prospective customer(s). No matter how brilliantly crafted, written and presented your business plan is, it will be difficult to win your investors, and customers, with a bad idea. Therefore, you want to wow them first with your idea! If they’re not interested in your idea, no matter how well is all written or what your financials are, they won’t help.

2. How much will it cost, and how much financing are you seeking?

Provide a short explanation of how you’ll use any financing you seek. Tell investors why you need the money. Nobody wants to lend you money if they don’t know exactly why you need it. It’s not necessary to get into much detail here—just make it clear that you need it for this, this and that. You should also let the reader know how the investment will help the company grow and/or increase its profits. Why else would you be seeking funding? The best use of somebody else’s money is to buy or build something that will make more money, both for you and for that person.

3. What will the return be to the investor? Over what length of time?

In your executive summary, consider the following:

• Friends and family want to get their money back, but often are not very interested in timing and returns.

• Bankers look for free cash flow to pay back the principal and interest of their loan. They also look closely at management experience and marketing. They may ask for collateral. By law they must be conservative, that is, risk averse, so they are not great candidates for risky financing.

• Angel investors look for moderate rates of return, usually above the prime rate, plus some capital appreciation. They sometimes want to be involved at a hands-on level.

• Venture capitalists seek annual compound rates of return in the area of 35 to 50 percent per year. They seldom want to go longer than three to five years to cash out. They always want to know what the exit strategy is.

  Don’t forget yourself: It’s a rare company that doesn’t have any investment from the entrepreneur or entrepreneurs who started it."
