In this virtual "How 2" program, Constance Hallinan Lagan will share with you how to successfully start a freelance home based business.

Be your own boss and work at home!  Sounds great, doesn't it?  More than 600,000 people start businesses each year; unfortunately, approximately 20% of these businesses fail within two years, with that number rising to approximately 45% within five years.  And those are pre-pandemic statistics! Do you want to avoid the pitfalls and increase your chances of succeeding?  This seminar will help you meet the challenges of home-based business start-up and expansion.  

This webinar is divided into two segments:  lecture and question-and-answer period.  The topics covered include the initial steps in business formation, including business registration, sales tax collection authorization, business checking account, financing, insurance, and hiring employees versus independent contractors.
