Just saw your great blog and this article. Can a startup be qualified as a QSBS where it acts as an incubator for different products and spin them out? Basically, we have a few different related products we want to bring to market in a SaaS model and wondered if we could setup one C corp and have the founders issued stock in this as a QSBS then later in 5 years per the holding rules spin out different companies with the tax exemption?

I suggest that the US government will remove all the taxes and not only capital gains tax for starting businesses. Starting business have really small investment and taxes really makes them not last in the business. I know millions of dollars will lost on the government but this will give a huge benefit for the people of US.

I see health companies are excluded from capital gains exemption. This would mean home health care agencies I presume?

This sure would be a good reason to expand but will not help our industry if health care companies are excluded.

I assume there will be more details on this next week. Interesting that it dates back to May 09 and maybe even before.

We are small sub-prime auto finance business actively seeking investment. Sounds like we would be excluded from taking advantage of this.

A real shame as we have a potential investor who would jump on opportunity to avoid capital gains tax.

Really? Because to me it sounds like although you may not be an “investor”, those that are will help stimulate small business growth, which in turn will create jobs and wage increases to YOU.

@Joe – it sounds like your stock isn't issued yet.

Hi – I incorporated at the end of 2006 in New York, however no stock has been issued yet. I plan to issue stock to my partners at the end of this year. Does that count for “small business stock issued after feb. 17, 2009?” thanks for your help!
