The Internal Revenue Service recognizes the fact that small business owners are
the heart and soul of the economic community, and often have little time to learn more about taxes. As a result, to make taxes less taxing a new series of online educational tax discussions is being piloted called "IRS Tax Tools in 10..." give us 10-minutes, and we'll give you the tax tools to help meet your Small Business needs.
The dates and times of each roundtable discussion is below:
May 5th - Small Business ID Theft - 11am & 2pm - Eastern
Attendance is limited, so please register by providing your name, e-mail, session date and time by

When Seth Bertram, Jomo Thompson, and Cannon Armstrong first met with Fausto, their conversation was more about national championships and rock and roll than about business. Before the meeting was over, however, Fausto laid the groundwork for developing Cannon's and Seth's hole-in-the-wall rehearsal space into what would become one of the Bluegrass area's top rated entertainment venues. Combining Seth's business experience, Cannon's legal expertise, and Jomo's networking abilities with Fausto's knowledge of funding opportunities, an old train depot was beautifully transformed.
The Burl is a highly regarded entertainment destination in Lexington's burgeoning Distillery District. Featuring a unique space, a variety of drinks, live music ranging from nationally recognized acts to local prodigies, and "the tall good looking guy at the door", the Burl will soon celebrate its one year anniversary! To celebrate the one year anniversary, The Burl will host a HUGE party and market on July 22nd in order to give back to the many people and businesses who helped make the first year a success.
All makers, artists, and small business owners are invited to submit a vendor application. The application deadline is May 19th. Apply at the following link:

Congratulations, The Burl, on your upcoming anniversary and thank you for your support of the SBDC and area small businesses!

LEXINGTON, KY. (April 14, 2017) - Eight business owners recently graduated from the Lexington Minority and Women Contractor Training Program. The 10-week program provided skills training to minority and women business owners who have at least 50 percent ownership in a contracting business.
"This year's class represents a diverse group of entrepreneurs sharing a common desire: to improve the performance and operations of their business. The participants overwhelmingly agreed the program was beneficial and will help further their businesses," said Becky Naugle, state director of the Kentucky Small Business Development Center, which is one of the program sponsors.
Instructor: Dawn Watson, Administrative Specialist III, Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet Date:
The newly created Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Certification Program supports service-disabled military veterans who own a business and live in Kentucky. It is designed to promote growth among SDVOSBs and encourage these businesses to locate and expand in the Commonwealth.
The Kentucky SDVOSB certification is recognized and accepted by Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. When required by a statewide body, certification also allows businesses owned by service-disabled military veterans to compete for work in states outside of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
This class will provide participants with information about program eligibility, the application and approval process and frequently asked questions.
SDVOSBs that are already approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) will also learn about the streamlined application process available only to CVE-approved businesses.
Instructors: Sherita Miller, LFUCG Minority Business Enterprise Liaison and Celia Moore, Grants Administrative Aide, Division of Grants & Special Programs
This workshop will explain the history of certification, the different certifications available, the certification criteria and application process.
Certification verifies that your business is at least 51% owned, operated, controlled and managed by a minority or woman. Learn if your business qualifies as a Section 3 contractor.
