GARRETT SUTTON, ESQ.
“I’ve set up my corporation. Now what do I do?”
If you have asked yourself this question, Run Your Own Corporation is the book to answer it. Written in an easy to follow, entertaining and educational format, this is the companion book to Garrett Sutton’s bestselling Start Your Own Corporation.
Follow the lives of three different couples as they start new companies all the way through their first five years in business. You will see real life examples of mistakes often made by new entrepreneurs, and the consequences of them. You will see these business owners learn, grow, struggle and succeed while learning about taxes, document retention, how to deal with local, state and federal governmental agencies, employee issues, customer recognition, legal matters, trademarks, insurance, business plans, corporate veil protection, stock sales, business credit, annual meetings, IRS audits and more.
Run Your Own Corporation shows you what to do, and what not to do, in very human terms throughout the early stages of your business. Learn from these business owners mistakes and you can save yourself thousands of dollars and many sleepless nights while freeing yourself to worry about what is really important, your business.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Robert Kiyosaki, Brandi MacLeod, Lyn Millard, Cindie Geddes, Mona Gambetta, Tom Wheelwright, Melvin Jackson and Gerri Detweiler for their assistance in shaping, critiquing, producing and getting this book out.
I would also like to thank my children, Teddy, Emily and Sarah, for their wonderful support and encouragement. Utterances such as “Dad, when are you going to finish the book!” and “Dad, you are way past the deadline on this one!” certainly in some way contributed to the enjoyment I experienced in writing this book.
