Many processes and strategies apply equally to those businesses that sell products and those that sell services. However, for a service-based small business, the intangible product is that provided by the owner. In other words, “you” are the product, so you are selling or providing what you do (not a product that you manufacture or distribute). This webinar with SCORE Mentor Eric Munro will focus on identifying the key activities you must develop in order to run your service-based business profitably. You’ll learn to find and target your client base, build strong relationships with clients, define the potential value of the service you offer, and more.

This webinar with IRS Tax Specialist and Certified Public Accountant Joseph McCarthy discusses the different ways that small businesses can plan for and pay their federal tax liabilities throughout the year to avoid a big year-end tax bill. The presentation will also discuss how making timely tax payments can help small businesses avoid federal tax payment penalties.
