Starting your own business is an exciting endeavor but one filled with so many questions. Selecting a name and a location, picking out office furniture, and figuring out what equipment you’ll need are just the tip of the business iceberg.
Getting started on the right track with all the necessary financial details can have even the savviest of new business owners quickly drowning in paperwork and decisions.
Some issues you need to grapple with as you begin your business venture include:
- Should your company be registered as a partnership, and S-Corp or an LLC? Are you going into business as a sole proprietor?
- How will you track your daily expenses and financial transactions? Then there’s also:
- Who will do this in your new company? With so much happening with a startup, are you better served outsourcing your bookkeeping to an experienced accounting firm?
- Which expenses are mandatory to track in order to develop accurate financial forecasts, budgets, and cash flow reports?
- Should your company’s accounting be on a cash or accrual basis?
- What are your new venture’s tax responsibilities?
