DEAR IT IS A LENTHLY ANSWER
this is another easy one. Phone and hydro can get stretched, ad companies will let you go 90 days before whining; mom and pop landlords are great if you pay the balance of your rent due before the 15th of the month. Next is order of important suppliers. Figure out which supplier you can live without and order hordes of product from them. it fills your inventory all the meanwhile your paying your other suppliers on time and hanging in there. Give the supplier you plan on dumping 4 equal post dated cheques dated 90 days apart starting from 30 days you originally got the product. (yes, stretch payment for 1 full year - they'll accept it)
Fax them a very apologetic note saying your on the verge of bankrupcy and the money will be there on the dates of your cheques. make sure it is too! They won't sue you.
Communicate with your bank officer regularly. If he or she likes you they'll call you when your about to bounce a few cheques. Ive had banks in my start up days hold me to 10K in overdraft (when I had $0.00 overdraft protection) 2 weeks before Xmas because I bought too much inventory. The account was brought up to par just before xmas eve. Guess what? they helped me again once or twice in the future because I stuck to my word.
Keep applying for new credit cards and always pay the minimum payment + 20%. Manage to pay them off and regulary ask for increases. (right after you pay the card off) Run you card through your own Visa machine and use the money as cash...when you have enough cash in your account refund you credit cards through you machine. (avoids getting nailed the extra percentage merchants are charged)
10 years and a few million bucks later, those were the best days....
also, only take advise from people who've done it better than you!!
AnswerAnd always pay the IRS and State government on time. I always say the first three rules of accounting are: debits on the left, credits on the right and don't mess with the IRS. AnswerAs others have mentioned, pay all taxes due first.Then you have to pay your employees.
Then, get an Accounts Payable Aging report to see which bills are due now, or soon.
Pay current interest payments on loans.
Then, my advice is to pay as many small suppliers on the schedule as possible. These are the people whose goodwill you really need, and taking care of them will get a lot of people off your back. Huge utility companies will take some time before they actually get around to cutting off service, so I would not wait too long, but they would not be a priority payment in a pinch.
If the difficulty in paying is going to be an ongoing thing, you should work with your creditors and make payment arrangements. If you know a payment will have to be late simply because of cash flow issues, explain to the creditor that payment has to be later than you anticipated, and tell him when you expect to pay.
And know that a prolonged inability to pay debts as they come due is a sign of insolvency. The very last thing I would tell a supplier is that my company was on the verge of bankruptcy, even if it were true, unless I was actually in bankruptcy proceedings and I had the authority to tell him (and an ethical reason to). I'd never be able to get anything on credit ever again. You want to reassure your vendors, not terrify them.
They should be paying the taxes they are due to pay and if they are not doing this then they will eventually be caught, the back taxes will be collected and they will be punished for not paying the taxes due.If you believe someone is committing a criminal offence you should report this to the police.
There is no such thing as a best business. The question should be, which type of business is the best business for you (if you are interested in business). Your choice of career should be based on a passion for what you want to do. You must acquire a vision; A clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. It should be very specific. Once you have that vision, your path to achieve your career goals and objectives will become clear.
This would depend on where you live. In the UK, if the items purchased on the credit card were purchased solely for the business then the interest paid to the credit card company until these items were paid off might be considered a business expense. Essentially the business would be paying the credit card company interest for loaning it the money to purchase the business items. In this case proof of the interest accrued should be retained for tax records in addition to the receipts for the items purchased.
Percentage of business income should not be used to decide rent. Business needs and desires should be used to calculate rent. You could be making hundreds of thousands of dollars working out of a home office.
you should mention a country...but I don't think there are countries where you don't have to pay it.
The most critical part of the business plan for knowing if you can cover the bills is the cashflow statement. If you don't keep an official cashflow statement, your monthly business snapshot should show your cash on hand, short term receivables so you know how much cash you can expect to receive over the next 30 days and short term payables so you know how much outgoing cash you'll have in the next 30 days. Cashflow is the most important measurement to stay in business.
troughIf you were paying your full National Insurance stamp for the required amount of time then you should be able to.
A good business loan should have a reasonable interest rate. Also, it shouldn't penalize you for paying it off early.
The first thought that comes to mind regards money. "Strapped for cash" as to not having any available to share. Why should they be sharing in the first place?
It depends on how the business and the loan are titled. If the business is a partnership, the business may be responsible for paying the loan. If the borrowers signed as individuals the surviving signer may be able to make a claim against the estate. You should consult with an attorney who can review the loan and any business documents and explain your responsibilities and options.
No, regulations state all persons should be seated and strapped in
The best paying degrees include computer science and electrical engineering as well as bio-engineering and business degrees. You should aim for a top 10 school.
It really doesn't matter as long as it is comfortable.
You need to call the Florida Department of Revenue or the Internal Revenue Service. You should send these organizations as much evidence as you have.
If you plan on printing yourself, you can use any kind of template for business cards. If you plan on paying for printing, however, you should use the templates provided by the online store to make the process simpler.
Don't spend alot paying for expense reports, as a small business get consolidated with some of these program makers. Such as www.Aestiva.com; www.data-basics.com; www.Centage.com, these should be very comprehensive programs.
You make the offer, IF they accept it, they will give you the title, ect. Fairly simple business deal.
