Management Foibles...When 20 Bucks and Ego Is More Important than a Decade of Customer Loyalty
Trust me, management has their foibles! When is it that 20 bucks and a store manager’s ego become more important than a decade of loyalty from a customer? In my opinion, Never! Little things can be much more costly to your profitability than one might imagine.I recently had an experience that clearly demonstrated the crucial need for better training at all levels, from entr

Your Identity Speaks Loudly...What Are You Saying?
Your corporate identity is a graphic expression of who you are as an organization. It plays a major role in what sells your company and its products. Everything that identifies your business, including your logo, color scheme, and tagline, work together to create an image that your customers remember. Building a corporate identity that bolsters your business objectives is a subtle

Don’t get me wrong. I think LLCs, or limited liability companies, are great. At modest cost, they often let you minimize your legal liability. LLCs also give you tremendous tax flexibility, because with an LLC you can choose to be treated as a corporation, an S corporation, a partnership (if there are multiple owners), or a sole proprietorship (if you’re the only owner).
In spite of these big benefits, four good reasons exist for not forming a limited liability company for your next business. Here they are:
State Income & Franchise Taxes
All states charge at least a modest fee—sometimes less than $100—to set up an LLC. And that’s not so bad, but here’s what is bad. Some states like California also levy additional unfair annual fees and franchise taxes on even the smallest LLCs.
California’s minimum annual LLC franchise tax, for example, is a whopping $800. Ouch.

Customer Support: What Does Yours Say?
Whether you are talking about customer support software or you are talking about those employees that answer the phones, what does your customer support say about you? It should portray to the customer that you are dedicated to them and that you will do whatever it may take to make their experience the best it can be.What should customer support be, then?

New Business Loan - What to do Before you Apply
If you have been in business for over two years then you probably have already developed a business relationship with a bank, credit union, or other financial institution. You may already have a business loan or a business line of credit and hopefully you have been making enough money in the business to make your payments on time. In that case getting a new business loan is relati

Any individual or organization may be licensed as a private investigator. In the United States, forty-two states and the District of Columbia have licensing requirements for private investigators. The purpose of licensing basically is to regulate the industry and to keep the unqualified out of the profession.Under the state licensing authority rules, there are specific cr

Complicated Bookkeeping and Accounting
For sole proprietors, an LLC may complicate your accounting if you choose to have the LLC taxed as a regular corporation or an S corporation.
This extra complexity stems from the fact that a corporate tax return requires balance sheets once the business has more than $250,000 in revenue or assets. And to produce a balance sheet, you need to use correctly a full-blown accounting system such as QuickBooks. Checkbook programs like Microsoft Money and Quicken don’t really work.
Be careful that you don’t over-complicate your accounting without good reason.
Extra Paperwork and Red Tape
A limited liability company burdens you with significantly less red tape and paperwork than a corporation. Which is awesome. However, an LLC still requires more paperwork than a simple sole proprietorship. (Often a sole proprietorship requires no paperwork.)
