Welcome To Eagle's Small Biz Operations Center!

There are a wide variety of ways to put together the operations of your business so that it functions effectively and efficiently. The model that works best for you will be related to your objectives, what your product or service is, and your personal operational style. However, there are a number of functions that every business needs to address simply as part of doing business.

Employee Forms And Taxes - What Are Employment Taxes? Small business owners often have great responsibilities while operating and managing a business. Before you become an employer and hire employees, you need a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN). If you have employees, you are responsible for several federal, state, and local taxes. As an employer, you must withhold certain taxes from your employees' wages.

Financial Management - The bookkeeping and accounting systems, recordkeeping, taxes, collecting money, insurance, budgeting, and managing risk are all part of keeping your business financially solvent. While many people consider this the most painful part of running a business, it needs to handled well if you are going to stay in business.


Identity Theft - Business Guide For Protecting Personal Information - Most companies keep sensitive personal information in their files; names, Social Security numbers, credit card, or other account data that identifies customers or employees. This information often is necessary to fill orders, meet payroll, or perform other necessary business functions. However, if sensitive data falls into the wrong hands, it can lead to fraud, identity theft, or similar harms. Given the cost of a security breach; losing your customers trust and perhaps even defending yourself against a lawsuit, safeguarding personal information is just plain good business.
 
Independent Contractor Worker Classification - Determination Of Independent Contractor vs. Employee Worker Classification It is critical that you, the employer, correctly determine whether the individuals providing services are employees or independent contractors. Generally, you must withhold income taxes, withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax on wages paid to an employee. You do not generally have to withhold or pay any taxes on payments to independent contractors. Before you can determine how to treat payments you make for services, you must first know the business relationship that exists between you and the person performing the services.
 
Cyber Security Tips - Why is Cyber Security a Problem? You've heard the news stories about credit card numbers being stolen and email viruses spreading. Maybe you've even been a victim yourself. One of the best defenses is understanding the risks, what some of the basic terms mean, and what you can do to protect yourself against them.


What is cyber security? It seems that everything relies on computers and the internet now — communication (email, cellphones), entertainment (digital cable, mp3s), transportation (car engine systems, airplane navigation), shopping (online stores, credit cards), medicine (equipment, medical records), and the list goes on. How much of your daily life relies on computers? How much of your personal information is stored either on your own computer or on someone else's system? Cyber security involves protecting that information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks. Free Internet Security documents to help you start and manage your business!

Legal Management - You don't need to have a lawyer in house, but you definitely need to make certain that all the operations of your business are legal. Some of the issues to consider are business licenses, determining the correct legal form of your business, alliance agreements, copyrights, trademarks, patents, contracts with suppliers, and employment law.
