What documents should I receive from my employer?

Documents from employers can be different depending on the situation. Typically, you should receive a W-2 Form from your employer for your taxes. The self-employed (independent contractors, product sales representatives, etc.) should receive a 1099-MISC from the company.

How can I prevent cash flow problems from hindering my business?

An analysis of the cash flow will demonstrate if the everyday operations produce sufficient cash to reach the obligation and the relation between large expenditures to pay for obligations and large inflows of cash from sales. With this information, it will be apparent if the inflows and outflows of your business have a positive cash flow or a net loss. Over time, important changes will be seen.

Is a cash reserve necessary in my small business?

It is important to have sufficient cash on hand to pay for expenses and emergencies. Cash beyond this should be put in a manageable, low-risk, interest-bearing account, like a savings account, Treasury bill, or short-term certificate of deposit.
