National Small Business Day is a wonderful opportunity to show your support for local entrepreneurs and businesses. Here are 10 ways you can celebrate and support small businesses this month: Shop Local: Make a conscious effort to patronize small businesses in your community. Whether it's buying groceries from a local market, getting coffee from a neighborhood café, or shopping at a boutique, your purchases directly contribute to the success of these businesses. Spread the Word: Use your social media platforms to highlight your favorite small businesses. Share photos of your purchases, leave positive reviews on review sites, and encourage your friends and followers to support these establishments as well. Attend Local Events: Many communities organize events or markets to celebrate National Small Business Day. Attend these events to discover new businesses, meet local entrepreneurs, and show your support for the small business community. Gift Certificates: Purchase gift certificates from small businesses to use later or give as gifts to friends and family. Collaborate with Small Businesses: If you're a blogger, influencer, or content creator, consider collaborating with small businesses for sponsored posts, reviews, or giveaways. Offer Your Skills: If you have professional skills such as graphic design, marketing, or accounting, consider offering your services pro bono or at a discounted rate to small businesses in need. Attend Workshops or Classes: Many small businesses offer workshops or classes on various topics such as cooking, crafting, or fitness. Attend these sessions to learn something new while supporting local entrepreneurs. Join a Loyalty Program: Join these programs to enjoy discounts, special offers, and exclusive perks while supporting your favorite local establishments. Write Thank You Notes: Take the time to write personalized thank you notes to small business owners and employees expressing your appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Volunteer or Donate: Offer your time or resources to support small business organizations or initiatives in your community. By implementing these ideas, you can celebrate National Small Business Day in a meaningful way and contribute to the success and sustainability of small businesses in your community.

    Here are a few strategies to consider: 1. Review Here are a few strategies to consider: 1. Review income and expenses. Identify areas to defer income or accelerate deductible expenses before December 31. 2. Make last-minute purchases. Equipment, software, or other business investments made now could qualify for deductions this year. 3. Contribute to retirement accounts. Boost savings and reduce taxable income by making year-end contributions. 4. Plan charitable giving. Donations made before year-end can still count toward this year’s deductions.

    Here’s what to know before celebrating the season: Here’s what to know before celebrating the season: You can deduct up to $25 per employee for business gifts each year. Small, thoughtful gifts like gift cards or baskets usually qualify. 100% of the cost of staff parties is typically deductible if they’re primarily for employees, not clients. That includes food, drinks, and entertainment. Always document who attended, the purpose, and what was spent. And don’t forget to double-check everything with your tax professional.
