Atricle Dump - Franchised Service Stations Should be Given Incentives to Sell Flex Fuels and Bio Fuels
What business valuation would you place on a distribution management software company with $1.5 million in annual revenues and $500,000 in losses? How about a healthcare software ASP with $300 K in revenues that is breaking even? These companies don’t exactly fit the 5 times EBITDA or the discounted cash flow valuation models.That is what makes software or technology base

If business isn't going too well you must ask yourself if you are guilty of making one the Seven Deadly Business Mistakes! If you haven't started your business yet, consider what follows - your new commandments.1. Are you caught in a Paradigm?A paradigm is an example or model. Are you so inflexible that you can't escape your original business plan? Is this causing you
Some say it is not enough, yet others think, well it might work? Now then, the other issues I see is that some of the franchisees may have "tie-in" clauses in their franchise agreements and not be allowed to sell the other blends. This is why the oil companies must have some type of buy in and therefore be at that negotiation table to figure out how to bring flex fuels to the American People.
If the underground tanks are plastic lined, new materials or 505 stainless with liner, the gas station owners may not have to change out tanks. Some of these blends are corrosive somewhat; some are not so bad. If you do not stipulate which blend, percentage or type, ethanol or diesel blend; let the market decide, the plan could work. Indeed I was not considering replacing tanks, unless they needed to be replaced anyway, rather using existing tank and two pumps. Two pumps could have the same fuel. Just if a station has 10 pumps then 2 could be flex fuels. Like a gas station, which has diesel, having 2 pumps for diesel the rest for gasoline.
This is an incentive of course and if the station did well, they would put in more, if not they would not, thus is would be reality based on market forces not government intervention. Remember I am totally free market, government needs to stay out of the way, only incentives and no additional regulations or taxation without any representation, based on Utopia seekers at the expense of an all star Ayn Rand character you see?

If you own a business and your clients take up to 60 days to pay your invoices, you may want to consider invoice factoring. Invoice factoring eliminates the payment wait and gets your invoices paid in a couple of days. This gives you the necessary financing to pay ongoing expenses such as suppliers, salaries and rent.But invoice factoring is different from most traditional

This is a very unsexy topic, unlikely to raise your pulse, but I think these concepts, once understood will make a major difference to understanding exactly how you can upgrade your success in anything.While you may find this article somewhat abstract, you will also find many useful applications for it, once you grasp the universal applicability of these two concepts.<

Negotiating with your boss can be a little tricky because you are not on equal footing. Since there is always the chance there could be repercussions for speaking out, an employee usually won’t tell his boss what he is really thinking. Anyway, let’s assume that you want to get a raise or a promotion. Here are some of the rules you can use to negotiate with your boss.1. Foc

We can deal with the Oil Companies, as they understand the game. Since 90% of gas stations are independently owned we have to do something for the other 10% which are owned by refineries or oil companies, so how about trade pollution credits if owned by an Oil Company? And remember if the oil company owns the stations, they do not need the $40K but they sure want the increased profit of lower taxes on the sale of the product. 7.5 cents is a lot per gallon. Help with their obligations for air pollution and increased profits, so they can use that money to build modified refineries.
Additionally I am concerned with environmentalist hit and run lawsuit tactics. The costs for an environmental impact report for a new refinery could be 250 million dollars prior to turning shovel number one. We have bureaucratic blockage, sound and fury infighting and partisan politics here too. There are several things we must do to get flex fuels into the market place to replace our dependence on foreign oil and perhaps this concept is a start. Consider this in 2006.
