SUMMARY:Tax Structure for Family Businesses
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled to a later date. \nFamily-run businesses need structure and careful planning to succeed. Which tax structure is best for a family business?  \n This FREE Small Business Tax Workshop will address the tax implications of family businesses that operate in one of several ways listed below. Family businesses are generally structured and run in one of these ways: \n\nOwned and operated by one individual\, such as the founder. Other family members may be employed by the company.\nOwned by multiple family members\, but operated by only select family members. Inactive shareholders delegate decision-making authority to others for the family’s collective interest.\nOwned by multiple family members who may or may not be involved in the management of the business. Often in long-established businesses\, outside management teams may run the company with family members/shareholders serving on the board of directors.

SUMMARY:8(a) Certification Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The 8(a) Business Development Program helps small\, disadvantaged businesses compete in the marketplace.  \nIn order to help small\, disadvantaged businesses compete in the marketplace\, the SBA created the 8(a) Business Development Program.  \nWhat is the 8(a) Business Development Program? \n\n\nThe 8(a) Business Development Program is a business assistance program for small disadvantaged businesses. The 8(a) Program offers a broad scope of assistance to firms that are owned and controlled at least 51% by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. \n\n\nThe 8(a) Program is an essential instrument for helping socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs gain access to the economic mainstream of American society. The program helps thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs to gain a foothold in government contracting. \n\n\nParticipation in the program is divided into two phases over nine years: a four-year developmental stage and a five-year transition stage. \n\n\nBenefits of the Program\n\n\nParticipants can receive sole-source contracts\, up to a ceiling of $4 million for goods and services and $6.5 million for manufacturing. While we help 8(a) firms build their competitive and institutional know-how\, we also encourage you to participate in competitive acquisitions. \n\n\n8(a) firms are also able to form joint ventures and teams to bid on contracts. This enhances the ability of 8(a) firms to perform larger prime contracts and overcome the effects of contract bundling\, the combining of two or more contracts together into one large contract. Also\, see the Mentor-Protégé Program for more information on allowing starting 8(a) companies to learn the ropes from other more experienced businesses.
