SBA to host Web Chats with How-To Tax and Marketing Tips for Small Business Owners

First of Two Web Chats is Monday, November 19, at 1 p.m. ET

The start of the holiday season also signals the end of another year. Small businesses are gearing up for holiday sales and they’re looking for ways to minimize their tax burdens, both of which can be crucial to a business’ success in the New Year.

Now is a good time to get tips and advice on how to maximize both, with help from the U.S. Small Business Administration. November’s web chats will feature experts who will give tips on how to boost holiday marketing strategies, and how to prepare now for tax filing season.

The November web chats and links are:

Nov 19, 1 p.m. EST: “Holiday Marketing Tips & Ideas” with Caron Beesley, SBA blogger, marketing communications consultant, and small business owner.
