"To-Do" Tasks
Before you begin your Interim business owner journey...
Consider addressing the following "to-do" tasks so you're ready to roll when you're awarded your first client engagement:
Fill out your profile.
If you are a new or returning Interim Candidate, please fill out your profile here.
Hire a knowledgeable attorney.
They can help you set up and file your business legal entity - such as a single-member LLC or S-Corp.
Acquire the advice of a CPA tax expert.
They can educate you regarding tax withholding and remittance, jurisdictions and online websites to file/remit taxes (e.g., EFTPS, state, local) qualifying business expenses, and other related matters. She/he may advise you purchase an accounting software subscription - this will make tax time much easier.
Acquire business and benefits insurance.
A good insurance agent can advise you regarding comprehensive, commercial general liability, errors & omissions (E&O), an umbrella policy, among other coverage needs. At Hartz Search, we require all candidates who work onsite with their clients to acquire workers' compensation insurance. Lastly, as a business owner - consider insured benefits such as health, dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability insurance.
Having these items addressed and ready-to-go will help you breeze through the next step.
Once you've been awarded your first engagement...
Hartz Search will email you an Onboarding Checklist through our Payroll and Expense vendor - Paylocity. It's a simple step-by-step checklist to make sure you have all the background necessities done before you begin your engagement.
