Taxes, Branding, and Intellectual Rights Resources

Taxes, Branding, and Intellectual Property
Taxes for Small Business There are a number of guides out there, but we have found the quality highly variable. The biggest difficulty is that most take as their point of departure the assumption that you are operating as a sole proprietor or partnership, which we find highly problematic. Below are the guides that we've found most useful: Eva Rosenberg, Small Business Taxes Made Easy Paul N. Gada, CCH Toolkit Tax Guide 2006 (CCH Business Owner's Toolkit series) Steven Fishman, Deduct It! Lower Your Small Business Taxes (Nolo) <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=wwwgermaineho-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0471733113&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0">
