SUMMARY:Employee Retention Tax Credit and Your Business
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has been a challenge for all of us. As the world shut down the economy came to a halt\, leaving the future of many businesses in a precarious position. As we begin to find normalcy again\, businesses now have to focus on recovering and fortunately\, several government programs are easing this process. \nOne such program is the Employee Retention Credit or ERC\, which is a generous stimulus program designed to bolster those businesses that were able to retain their employees during this challenging time. Due to the extremely complex tax code and qualifications\, it is severely underutilized. \nAt ERC Specialists\, our goal is to help you get the maximum Employee Retention Credit (ERC) credit available to you. With new IRS guidelines and changing rules for employers\, tackling this monumental task is no place for a novice.   \nVerner Dixon has spent many years of his career with IBM\, Wang\, Gartner (Meta) Group holding executive positions in business development\, consulting services\, marketing and sales executive.  He also ran his own public relations firm working with the entertainment industry focusing on audio-visual products and services. \nVerner Dixon was\, responsible for direct sale activities and marketing programs for commercial and government clients.  His responsibilities include the introduction and implementation of new technology\, innovative ideas concerning management techniques\, employee incentive/training programs\, product development\, marketing strategies\, advertising campaigns\, sales promotions and customer service policies. Verner recruited contractors\, hired\, trained\, supervised\, and motivated personnel to increase client base and gross annual revenues. \nHe has published articles on robotic camera systems in Broadcast Engineering magazine and on disaster recovery in Casino Enterprise Management magazine. \n \nFunded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from local succesful healthcare entrepreneur and take your business planning skills to the next level. Let’s continue the conversation and journey towards more patient-centered practices in Nevada. \nDr. Ati Hakimi MD graduated from Northwestern University residency in Family Medicine and did an extra year of training in Geriatric Medicine at Rush University Medical Center. She has practiced medicine for over 20 years.\nShe moved to Las Vegas in 2016 and immediately knew she was home. She was chosen for Leadership Las Vegas Class of 2018 and that is where she found her tribe to motivate her to make a difference in the city. She was very disheartened to know that Las Vegas was number 47 in the nation in healthcare. So\, with the support of her life long leadership friends and her family\, she started Vegas Direct Primary Care. \nShe now practices medicine as she has always dreamed of! She is able to provide compassionate\, quality care to all her members and treats them as if they are a part of her own family. Her practice is equivalent to the Netflix of Healthcare\, a low and affordable flat monthly fee which gives her members all access to a physician! \nCheck out her website at https://vegasdpc.com/. \n \nThe Nevada SBDC is funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. All opinions\, conclusions\, and/or recommendations expressed herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the SBA.
