No tax advantage in your own company

Steve Pruneau

One of the most common justifications we get from independent consultants and solopreneurs for creating and maintaining their own company are the tax advantages of being able to deduct business expenses.

As the boss of your own business unit in Free Agent Source, you get the tax advantage of deducting normal business expenses here too:

BUSINESS EXPENSE FAS REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
Mobile phone and monthly bill? yes
iPad and mobile data plan? yep
LinkedIn premium, DropBox, YouSendIt and other software subscriptions? definitely
Computer and Software? sure
Meal expenses for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee with clients? affirmative
Travel expenses to client meetings, trade shows and training? go
Mileage reimbursement or maintenance for car used on business? can do
Trade show registration fees? do it
Professional association membership dues and events? gotta network
Business books and publications? get smart
Professional training courses and certification expenses? get smarter

Every tax break that you can get through your own company, you can have in your own business unit within Free Agent Source. So what’s the advantage of operating as your own business unit within Free Agent Source instead of operating through your own business?
