SUNDAY
The question is swirling around the atmosphere again.....Why do Black Businesses Fail? As if there is something wrong with our ability to run a business. I beg to differ. The reason our businesses close at a higher rate than our counterparts is the techniques we use to start our businessess and the fact that we do not have access to the type or amount of money our counterparts have access to. Regardless of how great our business concepts are, or how well we run our businesses, we do not on average get funded to the level or frequency as our counterparts. 
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the business side of yoga or wondered what income is taxable, which expenses can be deducted, or whether you should create a business for your offerings? What are the responsibilities as a contractor or business owner? As an Accountant and Business Manager for over 25 years, Nancy can help you untangle the rules. This workshop is composed of discussion, Q&A, and tea, of course.
