In starting a new business, thereare three experts that your businesscannot do without: An attorney, anaccountant and an insurance agent.
ATTORNEYYour attorney should ascertain the
law and other legal requirementsnecessary to enter into most aspectsof your business, which can varygreatly from state to state. Businessforms, contracts, employee relations,antitrust, product liability andenvironmental concerns affect yourbusiness daily. In most instances, anattorney should be consulted to helpyou meet many of your legalrequirements facing your business.
ACCOUNTANTYour accountant should be a
practical business advisor who can
set up a total financial control systemfor your business. Primarily, thisincludes an accounting and reportingsystem, cash flow projections andbusiness forecast, financingstrategies and tax planning. Businessforecast, tax planning, employeeprofit sharing and pricing policies.
INSURANCE AGENTYour insurance agent is just as

These three experts can help youmove your business forwardpractically, legally and soundly.However, you are the ultimatedecision maker. Make the decision touse expert advice from those whounderstand the legal process ofowning and operating a business.

“The Deliverance Baptist Church Fund was established so that those who take on the responsibilities of the church after us will be covered. The fund was also started to provide scholarships for the youth of Deliverance Baptist Church. I encourage others to open a fund with POISE Foundation, because God would have us be good stewards over what he has given us. Furthermore, it is important for us to support one another.”
Rev. Michael W. Golphin, Sr.Pastor, DeliveranceBaptist Church
