End of the Year Business Tips for 2013
Here at MyCorporation, we’re busy prepping for the end of the year and looking forward to what 2014 will bring for small businesses and entrepreneurs. But while our prep involves helping to file delayed filings or incorporating or forming LLCs for small businesses, we’re curious to see how other companies are closing out 2013. Today, we have 24 small business professionals giving us a look at what they’re working on for their brands and their biggest business tips on how to close out the end of the year!
1. “Make a resolution to focus on one social media platform. Social media is not going away and it’s time for small business to step up.”
- Lisa McTigue, Social Media Expert, LisaMcTigue.com
2. “We are making sure all inventory is in stock and organized, all marketing materials ready to go and short lead press releases being sent to appropriate parties. We look forward to a successful holiday season!”
- Sally Goodgold, Founder, WarmTradition.com
3. “At year end, I always check in with everyone who was interested to hire us during the year but didn’t. Many times companies find “use it or lose it funds” on the books at the end of the year and if you hit the timing right, they may just reopen the conversation where you left off before and have you invoice them in December to get the found money off the books. Then you can start the new year strong with motivated clients who will return your calls fast since they have already paid you!”

on for their brands and their biggest business tips on how to close out
the end of the year!1. “Make a resolution to focus on one social media platform. Social media is not going away and it’s time for small business to step up.”

4. “Owners with lots of income in 2013 (in the higher tax bracket) should try to pull in expenses from 2014 by negotiating a discount from their vendors – get the discount AND the tax savings. Put it on a short term cheap line of credit or 0% teaser credit card. If you have a low income and tax bracket in 2013, business owners should try to pull in revenue by offering a deal to their customers to pay next year early and their customers get the tax savings. Don’t just ask though, educate them.”
