Frank- Obviously everyone has has very different experiences with their own businesses. This is definitely a case where doing your own research counts. When all is said and done you are virtually certain to have *something* you wished you'd done differently. Don't worry about it, just get well informed and make the choices you think make sense.
It's easy to get stuck worrying that you will do the wrong thing. Don't be afraid to be wrong and learn from your mistakes. Don't let analysis of the right answer slow you down on getting started. Forge ahead. No matter who's advice you take - doing nothing is the worst choice you can make. Just do it. Good luck! -Cameron On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 4:11 PM, Frank Moorman <stretch...@franksdomain.net>wrote: > All, > > I am meeting with a CPA tomorrow.
