Small businesses tell consumers why Main Street is the place to shop
The "Shift Your Shopping" campaign by thousands of small businesses in North America seeks to get consumers to spend more at local businesses, which organizers argue would help the surrounding communities. "By shifting the focus of holiday shopping to locally owned, independent businesses, we can strengthen our communities and economy, create more jobs and -- equally important -- we can enjoy more relaxed and rewarding experiences doing holiday shopping," said Jennifer Rockne of the American Independent Business Alliance.BusinessNewsDaily.com (11/4)
What to deduct for your home office
If you have a home office, you can take deductions on your taxes for expenses such as your mortgage, property taxes and insurance, Bonnie Lee writes. To qualify, the office must be used only for "business purposes and as a principal and regular place of business to meet with customers, clients, or patients," she writes. The size of the deduction you can take depends on the size of the office in relation to the rest of the home. Fox Business Small Business Center (11/4)
