Hub You - Move Slowly Into Your First Office
DIY stores have changed massively over the last 20yrs. In fact the very Term DIY did not have the same impact to our lives then, as it does now. Back then when you visited your local hardware store, you spoke to the hardware man over a counter, I say man deliberately, who would then walk into their stores area, try to find your requirements from a very limited choice. Now modern DIY stores are all self selection, contain up to 20,000 lines in stock, covering just about every subject and tools, and you're just as likely to be served by teenagers, pensioners, male or female than the perceived hardware man.This change has not just occurred by accident, but to adjust to peoples needs over the years. Now more people than ever own his or her own home, there i

Financial Data – What’s Needed?As a general rule, the more financial data that is available, the better. If your accounting system is sophisticated enough to produce internal Balance Sheets and P&L Statements, they are certainly helpful. Of course the best information to use as a basis is the Federal Tax Return, since when these are submitted to the IRS, any and all final adjustments have been made. Also, three to five years of returns will give the valuation analyst a better and more consistent track record of the firm’s history. For further insight and/or questions, lean on the valuator for guidance. Typically, the most important source of necessary data is the owner or CEO (or the CFO if a firm is large enough to support that position), who usua
A: Congratulations on the growth of your business, Jay, and I understand your excitement. Putting your name on a commercial lease is one of the first tangible commitments an entrepreneur makes to his or her business and searching for that first office or retail space can be a truly invigorating experience.
We entrepreneurs like to imagine ourselves as modern day explorers, going out into the cold, cruel, commercial world to plant the company flag in our own little piece of rented real estate. I remember that feeling of triumph when I rented my first office so many years ago. Funny how you never get the same feeling when laying claim to future office space. For us old timers searching for new office space is about as exciting as watching paint dry on a new office wall.
For entrepreneurs who have never rented commercial space before, however, moving into that first office or storefront serves to validate their membership in the Official Entrepreneur's Club and makes them feel that they have arrived.

Last time we talked about the steps on how to skip trace an account. Let’s expand on that a little more. Get something to take notes with-because there is going to be a test, go ahead I’ll wait.Now, let’s get started.This is how the test starts. You are given a stack of accounts to work. You have never seen them before. If you find them, you collect what is owed and you are the company hero, if not…Question one. What is the best way to filter an account so it is worked effectively?A) It was done by someone else before it got to me.B) Not worry about it.C) You filter again to ensure that you will not waste your time working an account that you shouldn’t.Consider this before answering.You start working an a

Is there really a place for motivational posters in your home office? The thought of putting these posters in your home workspace may sound cheesy to say the least. Even worse it could even remind you of those dreaded, awful days when you were tied to a desk and forced to enjoy the company "decoration" of mission statements, useless slogans and their idea of motivational posters (more like propaganda eh?).All these things were meant to make you more productive each day, to enhance your company "loyalty" and to increase staff morale. What effect did they really have? Yes they drove you a little bit more mad each day and actually made you resent where you worked - the exact opposite effect they were meant to have! It makes you wonder if management teams r

There are three primary reasons to use a corporation to own your business today: (1) Liability Protection, (2) Tax Savings and (3) Accelerated Retirement. To make the most of it, you need to understand how a corporation actually works, and how you can take advantage of what it has to offer you in the way of tax savings, lawsuit protection and retirement planning opportunities.LAWSUITS AND THE LIABILITY SHIELD.The USA is home to over 90% of the world’s lawsuits. One out of every five people in the U.S. will be involved in a lawsuit, and if you’re a business owner, professional or own real estate your chances go up to one out of three. Unincorporated business owners (which a

There's a big cake with their logo on it and they hand out twenty-five cent pens that have the company name screened on the side and a good time is had by all.
Then reality sets in and they realize that they used one of those twenty-five cent pens to affix their name to an ironclad lease that is invariably slanted in favor of the landlord. By the time they use that pen to sign the next month's rent check, they often find themselves sitting in a leased space that does not suit their needs, staring at a 5 year lease that they really don't understand, wondering just what the hell they have gotten themselves into.
Many entrepreneurs get so caught up in the swell of their first commercial space that they fail to look beyond their immediate needs. You can't predict the future, but the biggest mistake you can make when leasing space is to put very little thought into whether the space will suit your needs for the long term.
So my first advice to you is to curb your excitement and call in a professional to help you find the perfect space for your business. A good realtor or commercial leasing agent can not only save you time and money, but can also help you avoid mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars over the course of your lease. They can help you locate property, negotiate with landlo
