STARTUP Your Visualization Business: Become a Chief Visualization Officer

What we'll do:

• Setting up your books to make taxes less painful,

• Business entities and incorporation (LLCs, sole proprietorships, S-corps, C-corps),
• Choosing the right kind of insurance,
• Growing your business through targeted marketing,
• Business start-up costs (like agent fees, business licenses, websites and domains, and software),
• Terms and conditions, contracts, and agreements,
• Partnering with others,
• Getting legal advice,
  ...all in the context of our unique profession as visual practitioners!

If you've been in the business for the while, please join us to share your insights!

Ed will take your questions by phone and Zoom chat, but to make sure you get your questions answered, please send them in advance in the comments section of this Meetup page.
