You might have heard that the overall success rate for first-time entrepreneurs is only 12% -- Do you want to become one of those lucky guys who created successful businesses?
CHAIN is hosting our Startup Success Boot Camp again to help you build a winning business. It is a series of workshops intended to help Chinese entrepreneurs in silicon valley -- such as yourself -- to learn the nuts and bolts of starting a business venture and understand the challenges and risks in the startup process. No fluff, only practical information you can apply right away.
This is an invitation to the fourth workshop focusing on tax.
Tax has huge implications for a startup. The workshop will cover all these areas and more:
- Entity classifications
- Intro to state tax implications including income tax and sales and use tax
