2026-10-28 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Pathway Financial Education, 1520 East 18th Street, Kansas City, MO, 64108, United States
Running a business comes with a lot of responsibilities, and taxes are one of the most important (and often most confusing) parts. This workshop is designed to help business owners understand their tax obligations, stay organized throughout the year, and make informed decisions that protect both their business and their peace of mind.
You’ll learn how different business structures affect taxes and reporting, how to keep accurate records of income and expenses, and what deductions and credits may apply to your business. We’ll also cover common tax deadlines, estimated taxes, and how to avoid mistakes that can lead to penalties or missed savings.
This session will also walk through the differences between employees and independent contractors, what classifications mean for your business, and how to approach tax planning in a way that supports long-term sustainability. Rather than focusing on complicated tax codes, we’ll focus on practical steps and clear explanations you can actually use.

Financial Projections for Small Businesses
2026-11-18 18:00 - 19:30
If you own a business, you need more than a good idea. You need a clear understanding of how money will flow in and out over time. Financial projections help you answer some of the most important questions every business owner faces: How much can I realistically make? What will it cost to operate? And is this business sustainable long-term?
This workshop walks you through how financial projections work and how to build them in a way that’s practical, realistic, and useful. You’ll learn how to estimate revenue and expenses, use basic market and competitor research to inform your numbers, and apply common forecasting methods to plan for the next three to five years. We’ll also cover how projections fit into your business plan and why lenders and funders often expect to see them.
You’ll explore different forecasting approaches, learn what assumptions matter most, and understand how to adjust your projections as your business grows. We’ll break down key components like revenue, operating costs, profit, and cash flow so you can confidently explain your numbers, even if you’re not a financial expert.
