Part III, Because Session 1 & II weren't enough..

Is your dream to start a business but you aren’t sure where to start?  Does the mere mention of paperwork and taxes make you want to run the other way? Take the mystery out of starting a business by attending  The C’crets of Starting a Business.  Find out the C’crets of choosing a business form, state registrations, how to navigate the contract labor vs. employee quicksand and recordkeeping tips. Bonus topics include how to prepare to apply for a business loan and tax tips for the business owner.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear Debbie Leonard, CPA  Partner with Thill & Leonard CPAs in Overland Park. Debbie is a frequent presenter on networking and business topics. She is recognized as a networking expert and has appeared on MSNBC discussing networking and her book,  The C’crets of Networking.
