The Alpaca
Business Planner
We have created this business planning tool to help you through all of the
decisions that a prudent person would make prior to committing their
hard-earned capital to start an alpaca business.
The Alpaca Tax
Planner
Uncle Sam will pay for a portion of the cost of acquiring your herd, assuming
you are currently paying income tax and plan to continue paying income tax over
the next six years. Northwest Alpacas can help you better understand the new
tax laws, and benefits allowed when purchasing alpacas. We have even developed
a simple tool that will assist you in seeing just how your alpaca purchase will
affect your specific tax picture -- positively!
