<\/p>\nBROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) \u2014 The Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation (BCIC) is encouraging small business owners to remodel their tax structures in an effort to increase their profits.<\/p>\n
\u201cTax structure sounds really boring, but when you really think about it so many businesses were left behind during COVID-19 because they weren\u2019t able to actually access emergency funding,\u201d said Nathan Burkhart, Director of Small Business Development, BCIC.<\/p>\n
Burkhart added that small businesses owners easily make mistakes with their taxes, but said it could result in illegal tax structures.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of businesses want to start right away and in doing so a lot of mistakes can be made and in this case, those mistakes could be costly,\u201d said Burkhart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Rio Grande Valley region is growing and local businesses need the tools to expand and keep up, according to Burkhart.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want those businesses to fall through the cracks. So, this is a great workshop to ensure that these businesses are operating legally and operating correctly and are not missing out on those grants,\u201d said Burkhart.<\/p>\n
Burkhart said the eBridge was established with multiple partners to be a resource center for small businesses to find information and support.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis workshop like many others in the future is going to be a component of our eBridge center for business and commercialization,\u201d said Burkhart.<\/p>\n
The eBridge Center\u2019s physical location will be done and ready to use by March 2022.<\/p>\n
