    How Stainless Steel Was Invented
    Stainless Steel is more than just steel that doesn't stain! It is an umbrella term that covers various types of steel that are resistant to corrosion. There are at least two claims to the title of inventor, one from the UK and one from Sweden. The most likely inventor is Harry Brearley, the son of a steel melter. Harry, who was born in Sheffield in 1871, studied the properties of steel and the effects that various production processes had on it.In 1908, two large steel firms set up a research company called Brown Firth Laboratories and asked Harry to head it up. It's job would be to improve production processes. One of the problems he was ask

    What Type of Advertising is Most Effective?
    Word of mouth! Next question!That was the typical answer of most of my clients over a 25 year period of consulting. Why? Because it was (a) free, (b) easy, (c) obvious, (d) what their customer told them, and (e) free. Did I mention it was free? That seemed to be their criteria in choosing an effective media. What they didn’t want to hear from me was how expensive their campaign might be. But I was kind and gentle when I told them they were completely insane. No, I didn’t really say that. But I wanted to, believe me.The plain truth was that I had to learn their business, who their customers were and what they wan
    One of the most difficult sections to write in a business plan is the proforma and financial sections. After all it is most difficult to what exact costs you will incur or what level of sales volumes are actually achievable. So often businesses are faced with excess government controls at all levels which take thousands of dollars in fees, additionally legal fees, delays and lawsuits often ensue and slow the project. You cannot know in advance what roadblocks or brick walls city planners, country agencies or Federal Regulators will come up with, as they often change their minds and add new laws in the middle of your already delayed project. These are only a few of the problems facing entrepreneurs when writing financial projections. Other issues occur from an over enthusiastic entrepreneurial positive attitude and business plan writers should double the money needed and triple the time to complete the project to be on a reality based plain. Thus if you beat your projections everyone is happy. Including bankers, investors and yourself. If folks are not happy you may find yourself in court defending yourself and making excuses, many of which many not be your fault, but in the end you are hung out to dry as the buck stops with you.

    To assist you in writing your financial projections section of your business plan, I have prepared a sample. This sample is from a most simple business model; a mobile car wash, which is part of a franchise system. Please feel free to print this article out and make notes in the margins and then take a legal pad and sketch out your own financial projections and start-up capital needed. I sincerely hope this sample helps you.

    The Cubicle: Your Home Away From Home?
    Is your cubicle your home away from home? For many, everything that they need is there. Of course, you have your phone, your computer and your paperwork. But, you probably have all sorts of other things as well. Photos are throughout the walls. Your hot drink and your cold drinks are there. You will find that many people have their doodle pads within reach as well. But, really, the cubicle is a sad place.You can brighten them up a little. One excellent way to improve employee satisfaction is to provide them with a comfortable place to work, even if that is only a cubicle. But, make them convenient, comfortable and spacious. Sure, yo

    Employee Benefit Plans
    A well-thought-out benefits package understands an employee's needs and also keeps in mind the employer's objectives. In prevailing market conditions, a competitive benefits package can serve as a nice recruitment tool and also act as an effective tool for employee retention.Basic benefit plans for employees include healthcare, retirement, holiday pay and paid vacation time. There are in-depth plans that cover things like flexible spending and day care.Many employers are now offering “cafeteria plans” in which employees can choose from a menu and level of benefits. In most cases, these plans are funded by both the employees and the emp
    ise system. Please feel free to print this article out and make notes in the margins and then take a legal pad and sketch out your own financial projections and start-up capital needed. I sincerely hope this sample helps you.

    Selling for Entrepreneurs - Be Yourself
    An entrepreneur has many things to worry during the start-up process. One of the most common requests I receive from people who are starting a new business is to teach them how to sell. For many new entrepreneurs, this is the scarcest part of the process. While this may be intimidating at first, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.Entrepreneurs sell themselves at every stage of the start-up process. Entrepreneurs already know how to sell. They sell their ideas to their family first. Betting their future on a new business takes some convincing. After the family comes the people who will finance the venture. The business owner mus

    Gross Revenue:

    * Note: Car washing of personal vehicles will be 60% of our business. Over 80% of these monies will be collected at the point of sale by either:

    · Cash
    · Check
    · Credit Card

    Some will actually be paid in advance on credit cards thus keeping us on the proper course to achieve positive cash flow at all times. Very few customers will be allowed to be billed monthly.

    ** Note: Fleet washing and industrial (graffiti, concrete, etc.) will only account for 35% of gross receipts. Twenty-five percent of this will be collected at the time the work is done, leaving only 26.25% of gross receipts to be billed at month’s end.

    Billing

    On fleet accounts, all invoices will be net due in fifteen days. After fifteen days they will be considered late and 2% will be charged. If, in the future, our mix of percentages of services performed changes, we may offer a 2% discount for payment in ten days and a 1% discount for payment between ten and fifteen days. We don’t anticipate changing our mix. However, if our city awards us a graffiti contract for $75,000 a year we will definitely accept it.

    Anticipated Gross Sales From Services

    In the appendix there is a first year pro forma of projected sales. We believe these figures are attainable. For various reasons we will take a 70% scenario for budgeting purposes in case everything doesn’t go as planned. Just to be on the safe side. We project a conservative gross sales dollar amount to be:

    $124,630 Projected Gross Revenue X .70 70% Of Projected Dollars = $ 87,241 A Conservative Safe Number To Project As First Year Gross Receipts

    Anticipated Business Expenses

    We project costs of $56,112 for our first year of expenses. Please see spreadsheet in the appendix. We will add in a 20% fudge factor just in case we have any unanticipated expenses in year one. We project a conservative business expense dollar amount to be:
