7 Biggest Tax Mistakes New Startups Make “If you don’t think about taxes until your company starts earning revenue, you’ve waited too long. While the IRS may not be especially interested in your company until you’ve been funded and have some capital, you need to think about taxes from the outset — to avoid tax trouble down the line, and to save money through deductions.” (Forbes)

The problem is that crowd funding means something different to everyone, and even I have been confused by the different ways the term gets used.” (Business Insider)

In many ways, it can be the most difficult hurdle for a startup because there are so many variables out of its control.” (The Globe and Mail)
