“A big business starts small.” Richard Branson


Starting a business and running an existing business requires knowledge and skills. Today's business owner must stay current on new technology, human resources changes, ways to develop and grow their business and so much more. No matter if the business is a part-time business, a home-based business, an on-line business or a bricks and mortar business; there is a need to keep up with the many rapid changes in the business world. The UHV SBDC workshops help all business owners to expand business knowledge and skills. You do not need to be a UHV SBDC client to attend.

Can't make to our office or want to provide the workshop to all your staff, we can provide these workshops at your place of business. We need a minimum of two attendees to hold a workshop.

The IRS has updated Frequently Asked Questions on how to report digital asset transactions. If employees are paid with digital assets, they must report the value of assets received as wages. Similarly, if they worked as an independent contractor and were paid with digital assets, they must report that income on Schedule C. This schedule is also used by anyone who sold, exchanged, or transferred digital assets to customers in connection with a trade or business. #IdeaoftheDay from Big Ideas for Small Business
