Abstract: A budget represents the numerical battle lines in which a business fights to succeed in the coming year. To this end, it’s advantageous to do an early review of the budget now, while there’s still plenty of time to make sensible adjustments. The key is to keep the budget in mind as the year progresses and rework it as new information becomes available. This article explains how to do so and looks at the three primary components of a budget: the income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet. A sidebar notes the importance of making sure the budget doesn’t ignore impending tax liability.

There are a number of prominent strategies available, including three joint venture models. These offer tremendous benefits, but many business and legal questions need first be considered.

Abstract: Today’s employees may be more concerned than ever about building up retirement savings, and they’ll be looking to their employers to help them meet this goal via a 401(k) plan. Companies not worried about attracting and retaining workers now will likely do so as the economy recovers and more baby boomers retire. This article looks at a number of 401(k) options — the traditional, the Roth, the Safe Harbor and the SIMPLE — and how each may or not be suited for a particular type of business. A sidebar discusses the Solo 401(k) for self-employed businesspeople.
