Franchisor Website Rules and Media Regulations
Recently a Federal Trade Commission Report on Franchising has been looking into what should be allowed on Franchisor websites, as some information could be considered advertising for franchise buyers. Most websites of businesses in the franchising industry are set up to sell and give information to consumers of the end product; Submarine Sandwiches, haircuts, hotel rooms and things of this nature.This has been one of my major complaints in franchi

Getting a Federal EIN for Your Start-Up Business - One Little Form - So Many Questions
One of the first questions start up businesses have is…"How do I get an EIN?"Before we look at the how to get this magic number, you need to make sure you really need one.If you have a sole proprietorship, with no employees, you do not need an EIN. The Federal Employer Identification Number, or EIN, is an IRS reference number for your business. As a sole proprietorship, your Social Security Number is the only number you need. You d

I was reading the local paper and came across a picture of the cleanest garage I ever saw. In addition to a picture of the garage there was a picture of a gentlemen, in his late 60's cleaning the cobwebs with an extension pole. I thought to myself I have never seen a garage so clean in my life. The accompanying article was discussing how this individual and another had painted and put cabinets in their garages, and how you could eat off this garage floor.

Now we have all seen those storage cabinets for garages, but how many of us ever get them and if we do, don't we fill them up and then the garage goes back to looking like it did before we got them. Imagine if someone would come to your home, condo or townhouse and clean out, paint and organize that garage for you; and you would tell them how you want it done. I am not talking about those expensive ads we've all seen where they can come in and re-do your garage. Not many of us have thousands of dollars to spend on our garages.

It got me to thinking that this could be the perfect business for someone who loves to clean and organize. You could network with one of the local home depot places to provide you cabinets, or you could take your re-sale number and purchase them directly from the manufacturer, rather than dealing with a local company. The only negative sometimes with dealing directly with the manufacturer, you might have to purchase larger quantities or they might have minimum order requirements.

What Is The Fair Market Value of Your Business? Part 2
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 giv

The Power in Establishing Support Teams
Have you ever had an incredible idea only to have it shot down by friends or family? Just because someone is a family member or a friend is no guarantee they will support you in reaching your dreams or goals. If they are not motivated or goal oriented themselves, they may not want you to be more successful than they are. Some people are far more interested in holding you back than pushing forward and being left to eat your dust.They may ask questi

Power Tools: The Products Behind the Colors
It’s kind of funny how the sales and marketing/advertising folks of the power tool companies have “drilled” into our heads the brand logos and the coordinating colors that accompany them. Do you think this was done completely by accident, or were there secret tests going on behind the scenes in your local hardware store’s backroom? Whatever the case may be, orange and black means Black & Decker; DeWalts brand is yellow; Milwaukee is the “power-color” of

Used Pallet Racks
Pallets are platforms that are used for transporting or storing things. They are used especially in industries like factories, warehouses, retail, food storage, grains, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. Pallet racks are the stands where pallets are stored. Each rack can effectively hold hundreds of pallets, depending on the size. Pallet racks are excellent for managing space within a warehouse or store.There are different kinds of pallet racks: pus

You could run small classified ads in your local paper, in specialty papers in your area or make up flyers with a before and after picture of what you could do with someone's garage. You'd meet with the homeowner and discuss where certain items would be placed, inform them of your services: painting and providing cabinets and then re-organizing the garage for them. If it were me I would certainly get half of my fee up front (which would also include the cost of the cabinets).

Like the article I read, get your local paper to feature your business. Show them a before and after picture. It would certainly be a great way to get you more business. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words.

What should you charge. I really don't know. However, if I were thinking about starting this business I'd call homeowners and ask them what they would pay. Tell homeowners you are doing a survey and just want to know if they would be interested if someone would paint, and re-organize their garage, and if so, what would it be worth to them. You would also have to find out the cost of the cabinets beforehand so that you could factor this into your cost; in addition to how much paint you would need for the average garage. You would obviously want a paint that is easy to clean. The biggest thing is to decide how much time it would take and what you want to make per hour. If it were me, I would do it on a sliding scale.

Corporate communication is an important asset of company's organization. It can lead the company to success or a failure.

Young Entrepreneur Ryan Allis discusses how one can find and create business opportunities. Key tips include having an opportunity mindset and not waiting for opportunities to come to you.

Although workplaces and management styles have come a long way in the last decade, the command and control style of management behaviour remains common practice in many companies.But these days we are hearing about a more collaborative and engaging style – a “Coach” approach or being a “manager-coach”. This is a positive shift – as long as we support our managers in understanding what on earth is meant by a “coach approach”, and how expectations of them are changing.
