Greetings!

Spring has sprung and that means it's time for everyone's favourite activity: doing taxes! (note the hint of sarcasm) Regardless of how you may feel about it, the fact is that filing taxes correctly and on time is an important part of being an entrepreneur. That's why, this month, we bring you Tax 101 for Entrepreneurs.

 

And be sure to check out all of our coverage from the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, where we spent three fabulous days with a veritable who's who of social change.

 

Plus, find out about a social enterprise for brides-to-be, how to globalize SE, and all the latest news and events. Enjoy!
