In every economic downturn, corporations shed employees to shave costs. And in every economic downturn, many of those let-go employees make lemons out of lemonade by starting that small business they’ve always dreamed of operating, whether it involves doing what they were doing as an employee or trying something entirely different.
Like all small-business owners, newbies need to start off on the right foot by avoiding legal, tax and financial problems that too often trip up the freshly self-employed. Here are five tips for making your launch successful.
1. Create the right legal structure
One of the first questions every small-busines owner must consider is whether to operate as a sole proprietorship or as a corporate entity. “You automatically start out as a sole proprietorship,” says Certified Financial Planner David M. Williams, founding director of Business Enhancement Associates LLC in Cordova, Tenn.
Operating as a sole proprietor costs no money because you don’t have to pay to create corporate documents and tax returns. Whether you should continue to operate as a sole proprietor, however, depends on your business and personal risk tolerance.

business is necessary in its place and niche, and, therefore, one cannot be compared to the other.

Ever wondered what a well-planned and deployed business intelligence project can do for your business without all the challenges? By now if you’re not aggressively mining your data you’re not only leaving money on the table, you’re falling behind your competitors. Looking for basic aberrations and trends in data for sales, marketing, operations and customers is second nature to most companies. This will help you tread water for a time but did you know you unlock exponential value to your data once you reach cross functional, role based, and collaborative analysis which enables iterative business process improvement?
The challenges to operative data visibility are pretty easy to identify in a company. Do any of these ring a bell? You have a thousand spreadsheets stored on your network and different departments may have different values for the same measure? The executives have clear objectives and have a strategy but if you ask an individual contributor there is only a vague notion of what they are, or are pursuing their own department objectives? You have data, a vision for analyzing your marketing or industry metrics but your IT department takes so long to assist with setting up the reporting tools and infrastructure

A business strategy is the means by which it sets out to achieve its desired ends (objectives). It can simply be described as a long-term business planning. Typically a business strategy will cover a period of about 3-5 years (sometimes even longer).
A business strategy is concerned with major resource issues e.g. raising the finance to build a new factory or plant. Strategies are also concerned with deciding on what products to allocate major resources to – for example when Coca-Cola launched Pooh Roo Juice in this country.
Strategies are concerned with the scope of a business’ activities i.e. what and where they produce. For example, BIC’s scope is focused on three main product areas – lighters, pens, and razors, and they have developed superfactories in key geographical locations to produce these items.
Two main categories of strategies can be identified:
1. Generic (general) strategies, and
2. Competitive strategies.
The main types of generic strategies that organisations can pursue are:
1. Growth i.e. the expansion of the company to purchase new assets, including new businesses, and to develop new products. The Inland Revenue has expanded from being just a tax collector,

What does it take to be successful in today’s business world? It takes a lot of things to run a successful business.
To start, you have to have a product that’s wanted or needed, and it has to be properly priced. That’s just the beginning.

Write a business plan, any business plan
You have a passion, and you’d like to make it your profession. No matter how enthusiastic you are about your small business, though, it won’t be successful unless you have a plan in place for how you’re going to start and run it.
It doesn’t matter how long or detailed your plan is, as long as it covers a few essential points. Most successful small businesses will need to have a break-even analysis, a profit-loss forecast and a cash-flow analysis. A cash-flow analysis is especially important since you could be selling your products like hotcakes, but if you won’t be paid for six months, you could still run out of money and have to close your doors.
A business plan is essential because it allows you to experiment with the strategy for your business on paper, before you start playing for keeps.
Determine how you’ll make a profit
Profit is, after all, the ultimate goal of any successful small business. You should examine your business’ expenses (rent, materials, employee compensation, etc.) and then figure out how much you will need to sell to cover those

Sometimes what helps us to be successful in our professional lives is not such a great idea in our personal lives — competition is a quality that comes to mind. At the same time, we all have a limited amount of time each day to do the things that we want to do.
So for the sake of saving time and energy, I’m sharing a list of tips that will help you be successful in both life and in business.
1. Add Value
No matter what you do and where you go, you can’t go wrong with adding value. Simply put value is anything that people are willing to pay for. In your professional life, the more value you can offer the more money you can make. In your personal life, more value translates to closer relationships and strong personal growth. The best way to add value is to find the intersection between what people are willing to pay for and what service or product you can offer that is aligned with your values, strengths and goals.

Once an entrepreneur has taken the bull by the horns and started his or her own home based business, the time has begun to tackle all of the little tasks that go along with it. One of these– and one that some people seem to fear more than many others –is copywriting. Tips for creating effective copy for your company’s Internet presence can only help you to manage a better and more effective interface with clients and other businesses.
After all, let’s face it, in the modern business world it is most often the copy on your website that is read first.
Create Copy That Interacts With People
The first task in writing good copy for your website is to make the content seem interesting and lively. So much of what people read on the Internet can be dry as melba toast, and it can actually help your cause to make your information just a little bit blustery, just to keep things lively.

I’ve been in the surety business for a long time. As a student of the industry, I have observed the dynamics that occur between bonding companies and their clients. My conclusion: Bonding Companies are like Girlfriends!
(My comments are written from a male point of view, but I’m sure you can flip this to be applicable if the reader is “non-male.”)

To be successful in today’s competitive business environment, an organization needs to align its strategic goals to increase top and bottom line improvements while better responding to customers’ changing demands. To make that happen, an enterprise needs to effectively capture, manage, and leverage all intellectual property pertaining to its products. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a prudent business strategy that business needs to adopt to improve product quality and stay successful in the market.
By implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, companies can simplify and reduce each phase of the product development process. While a PLM system is implemented to support all engineering processes and address challenges with continual new product introductions, there are often budget restraints. Due to these restrains, quality processes are often managed manually with in-house tools such as Excel spreadsheets. Using PLM as a quality platform can help organizations not only address the challenges and provide additional benefits.
· Get Accurate Product Information – PLM provides a holistic approach to managing data, and offers an easy and central location to track and manage all product related information. Using PLM as a platform for quality management, helps streamline independent data sources

Being in the hospitality business is not an easy task. This is an industry that is usually considered seasonal: your hotel will gain more business and profits during the summer season and on holidays. Of course, your establishment won’t be earning any profits and may even suffer some losses during off-peak seasons: months wherein you can’t expect a satisfactory number of guests to check-in.
Unfortunately, even during peak seasons, your small or independent hotel may still not earn as much as you want it to. And this is mainly due to your competition. For every city, at least a dozen hotels are open and ready to accept tourists and even locals who want to feel pampered, even for just one day or so.
There are certain tips or ways small or independent hotel owners can follow so that they can increase or grow their business. These include the following:
