If you are operating out of your home, I am sure you can claim some of the operating expenses which include utilities, mortgage, telephone/wireless but how do you do the general breakdown to show the amount used for business operating expenses? Do you include real estate taxes and HOA fees in these calculations?

Business Entity Name

CulinaryCarrie — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:54:32 +0000

We have a small sole proprietor business and are purchasing another business from friends. Our plan is to form an LLC in our original name and then, when we buy the new business, call it (Our Company LLC) dba (New Company). Does that make sense or should we just keep them completely separate? They are businesses in the same general market offering different services. Our original company will actually be run from the new company's space.

Market Research

clvandegrift@gmail.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 22:48:46 +0000

I've been in Land Surveying for nearly 20 years, and feel I know quite a bit about the Profession, but trying to get this business plan together is quite a challenge! I really do not understand how to conduct the Market Research portion of the Plan. I visited the recommended government web sites, but I honestly don't know how to use them and I'm not sure I understand the information contained within them. Does the Market Research have to do with how Land Surveying is doing business-wise in my Geographical Area? Do I need to somehow pull up statistical data for my City, then County, Region State and finally the country? I feel a bit lost.

My name is Jim gomez.
