NC Business Survival Kit

You spent hundreds of hours learning how to fix people's bodies. Your school spent approximately zero hours explaining self-employment tax, why that 1099 from Square arrives every January, or what happens when you mix personal and business bank accounts before an audit. Spoiler: it’s not a fun surprise.

This kit is the business education that was supposed to come with your NC license. It didn’t. Here we are.

You get both files

• Desktop / 16:9 — open on a laptop.
• Phone / 4:5

Same pack. Same prompts. Two layouts. No extra charge.

What You Get (Everything You Need):

• Step-by-step NC business registration (LLC, Sole Prop, DBA, EIN) in the right order
• Clear explanation of self-employment tax (15.3% before federal & state income tax)
• Quarterly tax payment system so April is never a crisis
• The biggest NC-specific write-offs most therapists miss — mileage, laundry, home office, health insurance, CE
• New federal tip deduction rules and how to maximize them through 2028
• Commission split math, red-flag clauses, and what must be in writing before you sign
• Audit checklists, tax calendars, and compliance guidance tailored for NC LMBTs

Why This Kit Delivers Fast ROI:

• Stay fully compliant with the NC Board of Massage & Bodywork Therapy and the IRS
• Capture every legitimate deduction and keep more of what you earn
• Avoid expensive mistakes with proper setup and documentation
• Gain confidence and peace of mind around taxes and business structure

This is not NCBTMB-approved CE — no learning objectives, no certificate. Just practical, unsexy, critical information that keeps you out of trouble.
