Benefits Of Forming A UK Company
First and foremost, the principal benefit of trading via a limited company has always been the limited liability bestowed upon the company's officers and shareholders. As a sole trader or other non-limited business, personal assets can be at risk in the event of a failure of the business, but this is not the case for a limited company. As long as the business is operated legally and within the terms of the Companies Act, directors' or shareholders' personal assets are not at risk in the event of a winding up or receivership. And as often happens on occasion, such events are not always under our own control.

Turning Personal Loans Into Business Payoff
Hi. My husband and I started a business and incorporated it Jan 24, 2001. We are a custom software development company. When we began, we used our own money to buy computers and other office needs, then, when we moved into a commercial office space in October of 2002, we took out loans in our own (personal) names using our own credit to fund the business moving into an office space and all the expenditures associated with this move (like office furniture, etc.). The reason we took out personal loans (and used personal credit cards) was that the business had no credit itself and we were really sure that neither a bank loan nor a credit card in the business' name would be possible at that stage. Is there any way we can deal with the company paying off these debts? And how can we deal with this odd situation to minimize both business taxes and our personal taxes? And how can we re-seal the corporate veil, so to speak?

Unraveling Tax Laws: Inventory And Depreciation

Why Are You Doing Everything Yourself?

It's not that they don't understand the value of those efforts, or they don't want to make the time. It's that they're simply trying to do too much by themselves. They're so busy running their business that they're not working ON their business.

Sometimes by the time they get to me they have already spent hundreds of dollars on different types of advertising. They are dejected, demoralized and defeated.

Communicate & Co-operate to Satisfy Your Customer
The ability to speak English well does not automatically make you a good communicator. There are a few natives who can communicate much better thru sign language than we can with our artery of words. Communication is a 2 way process and involves a feedback loop. The speaker sends a message, which is received by the other person. Now how does the person interpret the message? Do both the speaker & the spoken to understand the message in the same spirit? Often no.

Multicultural Differences in Greetings You Need to Be Aware Of
Multiculturalism is a reality in the US and for those of us who do business globally. The US has more legal immigrants yearly than all the other countries in the world combined. Also there are vast cultural differences among "native" Americans living in the US for several generations, as you know if you've done business with a New Yorker (better be quick!) or bi'ness with a Texan (better stand at a 90% angle to your male companion).

QuickBooks Q&A: Mulitiple Customers, One Invoice
Hi Scott, I run a sales & service business (I sell & service Fire Fighting Equipment) and I have clients that have multiple outlets.
These clients require me to call on their outlets but want only one Invoice to their head office.
How do I set up my Customers so that I have a main customer name and address and then all their other outlets?

QuickBooks Q&A: Tax Tables
Q: I have a question about payroll items and tax-tracking categories in QuickBooks. I have just me and I'm an 1120-S, so I don't feel it is worth the $169 subscription price when I used to be able to download the tax tables for free. I waited until February 2003 to activate my free download, but now the payroll area keeps running me through the setup wizard telling me that my tax-tracking categories are all wrong. Even when I check "this payroll item is inactive" for things I don't use, it still gives me the error. Maybe this is just a quirky coincidence of me not paying the subscription fee?
