Let’s see those business building blocks!

From your perfectly formulated file names to your invoice template, we want to see how you’re leveling up your business through expert administration. Just remember to keep your private information confidential. If you love the way your W-9 looks after a few adjustments, feel free to share it with a fun, made-up address rather than information like your real address or social security number.

A few reminders:

Investing in your business is just as important as investing in good marketing or a strong logo. By protecting yourself legally, you’ll be better equipped to handle any unwelcome surprises.
Be careful when taking financial or tax advice online. It’s always better to speak with a professional.
Knowing your business is protected can help you feel more confident as a small business owner, which often shines through to your clients.
Be creative and curious in business ownership. Enjoy the process of learning, and if you don’t have an answer, don’t be afraid to ask.
