Hello all you Bizzy people. We wanted to take a couple of minutes to remind you that it’s tax season. As life partners and business partners there are a few things that you may not know, so we wanted to share some of the things we’ve learned this tax season.

What we want to talk about is Form 1065 . This form is the ‘Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, and Deductions form’ and it is a necessity for partners in a LLC, LLP or general partnerships. Of course there are other forms that you may need depending on how you record your income, and how you make it but we just wanted to give you a little help before you grab up your receipts and income statements and run down to your local H&R Block . They will tell you that you need it so go prepared. If you’ve been in business with a partner before, feel free to pass on this post or comment with any additional information you think our users could use.

If anyone else has any other forms or tax information that you know couples may need, please post them here and happy deduction hunting.

Cheers!

Akuba & Justin

Hello Bizzy people! It’s Justin back to share with you a nice resource to hopefully help you be more efficient, a little more productive and a little less bizzy. That resource is Google’s “Google Apps.”

Google Apps is a service that allows users to use all of the great features of Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Calendar and Gmail, but with your own domain. What this means is that organizations can set up email accounts using Google’s powerful email systems, create a intuitive collaboration platform for team members using a hosted version of Google Docs, and integrate Google Talk into the company infrastructure with no heavy lifting. On top of all of the great features, organization can do it all with little or no cost. At this point you may be asking yourself, “what’s the big deal?” Well using Google Apps gives your organization greater control and a system that is exist entirely on the internet. This allows users to interact, collaborate and create anywhere there is an internet connection.

One of the most difficult things for me, as an entrepreneur, is fulfilling all of the operational task required to maintain my businesses. Things like, finance, accounting, marketing, and client management are all jobs that have to get done but let’s face it, that’s not why I became an entrepreneur. That very reason may be why there aren’t more entrepreneurs in the market today. Most people just don’t want to have to wear all of the hats of a business, and really only want to focus on what their job description requires. Well I found a great piece of software that makes my life a little easier. That software is Freshbooks.
