Today, we are talking about insurance! Exciting and insurance are two words we wouldn’t normally associate with each other, but this is a fascinating topic. We recently encountered SRA 831(b) Admin. Yes, that is the name of the company. A company that is making maximum use of SEO, which of course, we love. SRA 831(b) Admin is owned by fellow Idahoan (Mac lives in Idaho), Van Carlson, and is built around I.R.S. Code 831(b). This tax law establishes micro-captive insurance companies. If none of this makes sense to you, Van Carlson is here today to tell you how his company can help you create your own tax-friendly insurance program to offset risks to your business. There are a lot of moving pieces to this tax code, but that’s why this company exists. This may be a game changer for you and your business.
