I am a consultant for a children's book company. I love the books and the company. I used to do fundraisers with schools and made quite a bit from those. However, when the economy crashed so did my sales. Now I had a school call me last month and wanted to do a fundraiser with me again. I...

I found out last night from DH that today is Small Business Saturday. My DH works in a small business and we often try to support small local business in our community. I don't know if there is any kickbacks for today (I know in my DH's store they have a ton of good sales for Christmas...

A word of warning to all, don't ever do any kind of business or accept any kind of monetary favors from family, no matter how "good" it seems! My DH and I have had a hard time and were close to losing our house, which we were fine with renting if it came to that. But we had decided to try to...

I have ran a dayhome for the last 6 years. I am tired of it, my kids are both in school and I feel because I am at home with other peoples kids I am missing out on my kids events. I would love a homebased business I can do from home...I am in Alberta, Canada..we can't legally operate any...

Now the business is being foreclosed on by Wachovia, not Bank of Hell. Papers were served Monday. Absolutely no clue it was going to happen. Was supposed to be taken care of if you read my other post on this thread, Bankruptcy and so it begins. Bank of Hell tried, told the trustee we hadn't...

Today I went to court. I'm a landlord, as many of you know, and today was the first time I took a tenant to court for non-payment of rent. I was astounded at the amounts some landlords allow to accumulate, but that's not the real story. (Oh and I won a summary judgment. Eviction will be...

I've been looking into helping my oldest get set up for when he's old enough to be out on his own. This includes a job, residential living, health care, etc. I started looking around at places that actually help people with disabilities to do such a task and well, there really isn't that many...

Last night aquaintances of ours came over with their friend and described all about owning apart of this business and working towards the goals u wanted to set for yourself. here's the link and we decided it wasn't for us. Hubbys wants his own business down the road he says through time not...

Yes, I'm preparing my 2009 business taxes already. What can I say, I'm a nerd. Question - I've set up a payroll contribution to automatically go into the business account. Am I right in thinking that this qualifies as a "contribution to the business from a capital account" for tax purposes?

Ok, this just totally backs up everything I've already said. This is totally outrageous. Click on link to read Bank of Hell's practices recited by an ex-employee. And they aren't denying. Includes a U Tube video of her...

My husband's office moved a couple weeks ago. He brought home a box of business cards for me, thinking I could use them for something. I am not creative, I am terrible at coming up with original ideas. I used 20 of them to make a set of 1-10 number cards for each of the kids. Any ideas what...

So, here is the back-story: I had been plotting and planning opening a bead store for quite some time. I did tons of market research and wrote up a business plan. At the time I was still working at the car dealership and then my dad passed away, so my plans got put on the back burner. I...

A question for all you wise and saavy shoppers. My husband owns a home services company in a metropolitan area, and business (as I may have mentioned before) is not good. We are making a last ditch effort to save the business and have allocated $1,000 to advertising. For many years, we have...
