When you issue stock or stock options to yourself or your employees, if you do it at a value other than “fair market value” then you are likely creating compensation and income. And we all know… where’s there’s income, there’s tax.
In order to avoid unnecessary taxes, the IRS provides a “safe harbor” as long as you have a 3rd party determine the fair market value. That’s what a 409A valuation is, and why you need Early Growth to help you.
