Business Tax deduction facing 2025 expiration, NFIB urges extension of small business deduction 

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, recently released two reports examining the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction, which was included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but is scheduled to expire at the end of next year. The reports find that if Congress fails to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent, small employers and the broader economy would face significant harm.

“These studies underscore just how crucial the 20% Small Business Deduction is to our Main Street employers,” NFIB State Director Chad Heinrich said. “Small businesses are the foundation of our national and local economy. The 20% Small Business Deduction has made it easier for small, and family-owned businesses here in Arizona to raise wages, purchase new equipment, and expand their operations. In this challenging economic environment, Congress must stop the massive tax hike on small businesses and pass the Main Street Tax Certainty Act.” For more info click on link and submit your concern and message to your state representative.

Tips for Introducing a Subscription-Based Business Model for HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical

In the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing sectors, the traditional business model typically revolves around one-time installations or repairs. However, with the increasing shift toward service-based models across industries, subscription-based offerings have become an attractive option for service providers. Subscriptions can provide businesses with a consistent revenue stream while offering customers value in terms of regular maintenance, priority service, and more. Here's how to successfully introduce a subscription-based business model in these industries. Many customers may not be familiar with subscription services for these industries, so education is crucial. Use your website, social media, and email campaigns to explain the advantages of subscribing. Key points to focus on include:

• Cost Savings: Subscriptions offer long-term savings by bundling services and offering discounts on repairs or new installations.
• Convenience: Regular check-ups can be scheduled automatically, and customers receive priority service, avoiding long wait times during emergencies.
• Reliability: Well-maintained systems (whether HVAC, plumbing, or electrical) run more efficiently, minimizing unexpected breakdowns.
