In the spirit of trying to help out new entrepreneurs, we decided to share the many business documents that we use frequently when working with both clients and customers. Some of these documents (like the Employee Handbook) were built for us by people who are professionals in the industry. Others, like the NDA and Consultant […]

As tax day rolls around, I was talking with one of our employees about taxes. While we do not (yet) offer a company sponsored 401K plan, it should not deter our employees from contributing to their own personally managed IRA.
