What's different about running a business in Prosper?
Prosper is one of the fastest-growing towns in North Texas, and its business owners reflect that. We work with home builders and the subcontractors who follow them, real estate agents and investors, insurance and mortgage professionals, dental and medical practices, fitness studios, and plenty of consultants who run their business from home.
Growth like that brings a specific set of bookkeeping problems. Contractors juggle draws, retainage and subcontractor 1099s. Agents get paid in irregular commissions and need quarterly estimates that match. Home-based owners can usually claim a home office deduction, and need to know how it works if they're an S-Corp. And a lot of Prosper businesses started as side projects, so the books were never set up properly in the first place.
The town straddles two counties. Most of it is in Collin County and files business personal property renditions with the Collin Central Appraisal District, while the western side is in Denton County and its district. Either way the rendition is due April 15.
Prosper's 2% local sales tax share funds the town and its economic development corporations, which brings the total to 8.25%. Retail, restaurants and service businesses that sell taxable items collect it and file with the Texas Comptroller.
