by | Dec 16, 2024 | DIY Legal Templates

With just 2 weeks before the end of the calendar year (can you even believe it?), I’ve got 3 smart biz moves for you to make.

 

Make these 3 smart biz moves before December 31.

 

Here’s your End of Year Biz Checklist:

1ļøāƒ£ Take stock of your legal documents.

To head into 2025 with your legal ducks in a rowšŸ¦†, this is a great time to take a quick look at your legal documents to be sure they don’t have holes the size of swiss cheese.

  • Do you have a strong Client Agreement for your 1-on-1 clients that you got from a lawyer (or had a lawyer review)?
  • Do you enroll peeps in your group programs or online courses and have them agree to your Terms of Use?
  • Is it time for you to create an LLC or S-Corp? (The end of the year is the BEST time of year to do it!)
  • Do you have something you’ve been wanting to Trademark?
  • Do you have your Website Documents up on your site – and are they GDPR-friendly?

Not sure? Have questions? Just hit reply and reach out to our team. We can help you. #easypeasyšŸ˜„

2ļøāƒ£ Make big purchases for your biz on or before 12/31 to save on taxes.

All legitimate business expenses made on or before December 31st can be taken as a tax deduction THIS YEAR.

Purchase these items NOW to help offset this year’s income – so you don’t have to pay as much in taxes:

šŸŖ‘new office equipment
āœˆļø travel costs
šŸ’» courses
🌓 retreats
āœļøoffice supplies

And guess what else is a legitimate business expense?

(Shameless plug, but it’s true!)

So get your Client Agreement for your new high-end program for 1-on-1 clients, Terms of Use for your group program launching in January, an Overnight Retreat Agreement for the fab retreat you’re planning to New Zealand in 2025 before 12/31.

3ļøāƒ£ Celebrate your successes!

Now is a GREAT time to celebrate your biz too.

Take just 15 minutes with your favorite bevvy and journal and ask yourself:

🦚 What can I be proud of this year?

Pat yourself on the back for what you accomplished, however big or small to you. It all adds up!

šŸ™šŸ» What am I grateful for this year?

Taking stock of the positives of 2024 can be a powerful way to wrap up the year. You’ve worked so hard – you deserve it!

Make these 3 smart biz moves before December 31st and know that you’re ending 2024 in a smart, organized and empowered way.

Here’s to being a smart biz owner this month – and also enjoying the holiday spirit! šŸ§‘ā€šŸŽ„
