All of the clients that we handle in Springhill
Louisiana have a standard approach to the
business model which they must take. It's
that simple, first, they have to be registered
with the Secretary of States office in Baton
Rouge, DDP Group encourages them to
pursue L.L.C. status, because that seems to
accord them the widest variety of choices to
make as to the future of their business.
Next we like our clients to tackle the fun
of the I.R.S. at IRS.gov. What we tell themis, "if you will call the IRS you will find a
friendly helpful human on the line."
We know, we've called them countless times,
we've never had a bad experience, but bear
in mind, people are gonna treat you like
you treat them, so if you call up irate,
do you really expect someone a thousand
miles away on a phone line, to not get
in your face in return? Be nice...it's easy
to do...even if you're fumed, just think of
it as ...therapy, and call the IRS.gov.
Second we like them to register with the
Louisiana Economic Development Division
in Baton Rouge, this allows us to work with
the Hudson Initiative and the Small and
Emerging Business Division, as well. If we are dealing with veterans that are
opening their business we try to affirm
such with them and have them register with the
Veterans initiative at that site as well.
This opens doors for our clients to information
that previously they might not have been
aware of. So when they help us do our job
better we can in turn, hopefully, help them
to do theirs with a little more clarity. It's
something to get used to, it's not easy
for small business when there are any
additional hoops to jump through, but
in the long run, it's worth it.
