  • PCSing Your Business Like A Pro with Megan Harless

    PCSing Your Business Like A Pro with Megan Harless
    Dec 8 2025
    Episode Summary In this episode, AMSE CEO and Founder Moni sits down with Megan Harless, founder of PCS Like A Pro, to discuss everything military spouse business owners need to know about moving their businesses during a PCS. From maximizing reimbursements to managing the stress of relocation, Megan shares insider knowledge on regulations, documentation, and strategies that can save military families thousands of dollars. This conversation covers the often-overlooked financial benefits available to spouses, common costly mistakes, and practical tools for making your next PCS smoother for both your family and your business. Key Takeaways Money & Reimbursements: Military spouses can get reimbursed for licenses, certifications, equipment moving, permits, registrations, and technology upgradesEach service branch offers up to $1,000 for business costs and $1,000 for licensing (up to $2,000 total)These reimbursements are IN ADDITION to regular PCS moving expensesYou must have established your business at your current or previous duty station to qualify Documentation Essentials: Keep all receipts and invoices (set up email filters to auto-sort into folders)Required documents: service-specific verification form, PCS orders, current/previous licenses, new state licenses, fee payment receipts, and marriage certificateUse apps like Stride or Google Drive to organize and store documentationDocument everything as you go—don't wait until tax season Tax Implications: You CANNOT double-dip—if the military reimburses an expense, you cannot claim it on your taxesConsider Schedule C for self-employed individuals for non-reimbursed expensesContact a tax professional as soon as you know you're movingKeep business and personal expenses separate and well-documented Timeline Strategy: Before the Move: Research requirements for establishing business in your new statePrint and prepare reimbursement formsGet quotes for moving specialty equipmentNotify clients as soon as possible about your moving timeline During the Move: Communicate with clients about service interruptionsShare your journey on business social media (humanizes your brand)Set expectations for response times and availabilityCreate a "last chance" promotion if applicable After the Move: Re-register your business in the new stateUpdate tax information (city, state, IRS)Submit reimbursement packet immediatelyNetwork in local military and civilian communitiesJoin Facebook groups for your new area We love how our listeners support the mission of AMSE and the Owning Up podcast.
