Financial management strategies and tools for small business owners
Since 1 March 2026, printerless Chilean businesses must deliver every boleta electrónica by email, SMS, WhatsApp or QR — fines reach 500% of the sale.
The IRS can reclassify your salary top-up, company-paid bills, and shareholder loans as taxable dividends — and deny the corporate deduction.
AHA eCards run $6–7 for BLS but about $20 for a Heartsaver combo — price each US course from its own cost card, not one flat seat price.
A domestic asset protection trust shields personal assets from future lawsuits, but only if you fund it while solvent, years before any claim arises.
Bars must clean draught lines every 14 days — price the route per tap, log every visit, and track chemical cost per line.
IRS rules: gift cards to employees are cash equivalents, never de minimis — report face value as supplemental wages on Form W-2 with 22% withholding.
Form 5500 is due July 31 for calendar-year plans; IRS late penalties run $250 a day up to $150,000, but DFVCP caps small-plan relief at $1,500.
Greece requires every small business to issue myDATA e-invoices from October 1, 2026 — declare your method and get the MARK stamp or face 50% VAT penalties.
A one-employee Section 105 HRA lets a sole proprietor deduct the family's medical spend — premiums included — against income and self-employment tax.
Hungary's KATA flat tax is set to return for freelancers who invoice businesses. Expect per-client concentration caps, so track revenue per payer now.

Every required federal labor law poster is free from the DOL, so the $90 compliance mailer is a scam. Which sheets you owe, plus state and remote rules.
