New QuickBooks Help
Remote Online Assistance
The
SBDC now has the ability to assist clients with QuickBooks issues through an
internet connection. A simple download is required to prepare your
computer to engage in the initial help session, and it doesn't have to be
repeated for subsequent sessions.
The technology is provided by WebEx and allows SBDC consultants to see on their computer exactly what you see on yours in order to answer questions and resolve problems.
To receive QuickBooks assistance, you must be registered as an SBDC client. There is no charge for the service. request more information
File a DBA
New Service
You
can now download Assumed Name forms from the SBDC website for
use in any county in Texas, and the SBDC will help you file, if
you wish.
A DBA, or Assumed Name, is the name of a business other than the owner’s own name, or in the case of a corporation, a name that is different from the legal corporate name. If you are an individual conducting business under a business name other than your own legal name, you will need to register the assumed name with the county clerk in the county where your business operates. more information and forms
A filing fee will be charged by the county clerk involved, but the SBDC services, including the Notary services necessary to witness the certificate, are free. Call us for more information at 806-372-5151.
