Listen "Problem #21: The Business of Design"
Episode Synopsis
This week Tracy and Kristian are joined by Jodi Black, President of Carolina Game Tables and lead editor at Pinnacle Entertainment. We dive into the complex but rewarding world of running your own business (particularly as it applies in the US, since that's what we're familiar with). We talk about the different business entity types from Sole Proprietorships to C-Corps, what might be right for you, and how you can start small and think big. We dive into the benefits that setting up a proper business entity offers, and even touch on the challenge of collecting and paying sales and use taxes for products. This is a dense episode with a lot of information, but it's okay to start small and grow. DISCLAIMER: We are not accountants, lawyers, or tax professionals and none of what's said in this podcast should be considered professional advice. We encourage you to form your own team for this purpose. As your business grows they become invaluable.Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/Bc9dvuzZYJThe Han Cluster® Role Playing Game Website: https://hancluster.comImmaterial Plane: https://immaterialplane.com/Carolina Game Tables: https://carolinagametables.com/Small Business Administration: https://www.sba.gov/
