Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA – January 30, 2012 – The Anago of Western PA Monthly Franchise Owner’s Meeting for January/February 2012 addressed some timely issues this election year: Managing Credit and Business Taxes.

Two different guest speakers took the stage for this highly attended meeting.  First up was Brittany Seibel, Branch Manager of the Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania location at The Pointe at North Fayette.  Ms. Seibel discussed not only the importance of monitoring your credit but some tips, tricks, do’s and don’ts, when it comes to improving your credit.  The discussion was just that, with question and comments coming from Anago Franchise Owners’ throughout Ms. Seibel’s presentation.

Next up was James Merante, President of Padgett Business Services and a Member of the IRS Small Business Forum.  Mr. Merante’s presentation, which was also inundated with questions and comments from the group, covered all topics related to Small Business and Taxes.  From documenting expenses, to having a plan, to understanding types of business structures and the benefits of each, to retirement plans, to understanding the difference between a subcontractor and an employee.

“This was one of our highest attended non-mandatory meetings,” according to Anago of Western PA Vice President Bill Ross, “when you add-in the high level of participation from the group, it shows that these were true topics of interest for today’s Franchise Owners.”

The meeting was held on Monday, January 30, 2012 from 11:00am to 1:30pm at the Anago of Western PA Regional Support Office (300 Old Pond Road, Suite 202, Pittsburgh, PA 15017).  A pizza lunch was provided following the meeting, compliments of Anago of Western PA.
