Business Registration & Reporting Business Income Program Recap

NJSL Presents Blog Research Library No Comments

Thank you to Solange Pimentel and Tilesha McCall from the Division of Taxation, Taxation University for their very informative presentation on how to register a business and report business income in New Jersey.

Starting a new business can be an overwhelming undertaking.  However, during this presentation Solange broke business registration into three manageable steps specific to the different types of business structures.  Tilesha continued the presentation by clearly defining the steps a business owner needs to take in order to report their income in New Jersey.  Focusing on the specific business goals of the attendees, both presenters emphasized the pros and cons of each type business structure.

Also discussed were organizations where individuals can get further business guidance and mentorship.  These include:

SCORE – Service Corps of Retired Executives – https://www.score.org/

SBDC – Small Business Development Center (NJ) –  https://njsbdc.com/

SBA – Small Business Administration – https://www.sba.gov/

ReferenceUSA Program Recap

Thank you to Bill Loges from ReferenceUSA for showcasing many of the features available through ReferenceUSA aimed at people starting or trying to grow their own business.

The U.S. Business database allows you to search for businesses by a host of different parameters, including business types, geography, and business size among others.  A great feature to help pinpoint marketing opportunities or help in market research for a certain industry is the Map Based Search, where you can get immediate business listings based on radius from a central location, along a certain route, or through free-drawn boundaries.

The U.S. Consumers/Lifestyles database allows you to search for potential customers through a variety of parameters, including geography and lifestyle attributes.

Results from both the Business and Customer databases can be viewed and downloaded for free; however, if you would like to narrow down results in the Customer database by Consumer Snapshot limits, such as age, gender, income, etc., you will need to pay for that data.
