Recently, I wrote about the advantages of taking a company public but as you know, whatsoever has an advantage has a corresponding disadvantage. Though you might call them disadvantages, I prefer to call them challenges. I hope you know that forming a public corporation is the same as taking a company public. Below are 7 reasons why most entrepreneurs shy away from forming a public corporation or taking their company public. 1. The management structure in a public corporation is usually decentralized so therefore the managers are in most cases not the business owners. Since they are managers, they may not be motivated towards the company's goal and vision as the entrepreneur that created the...

Should you operate your small business as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or as an S corporation? Ever since LLCs were permitted a few years ago, many new businesses have been told that it as a preferred choice. However, if you own a small business, you will probably find that setting yourself up as an S corporation is the way to go. Here's why: First, this choice will probably save you Social Security and Medicare taxes. In your S corporation, you can pay yourself a salary and issue yourself a W-2 at the end of the year. Only the amount on your W-2 will be subject to these taxes. Other profits, even if they are distributed, remain exempt. Since there is no limit on the amount of earnings that...

A shelf corporation is sometimes viewed as a great way to get your business recognized and to make it easier to get credit. If you are going to contact the bank to see about a corporate credit card or a line of credit, you will have better luck if your business is a couple of years old instead of a couple of months old. In the eyes of the lender, it reduces the risk involved should they decide to issue you credit. Since at least 50% of all new businesses fail in the first year, the fact that you are a couple of years old significantly reduces the liability in their eyes. This could mean the difference between you getting the corporate credit you need or it being denied. It can also affect your...

If you have incorporated your business and decide to become an S Corporation, you should know the main difference between S and C is the corporation's tax structure. Once you incorporate your business, you will have to decide within about two and a half months whether you want to remain a C Corporation or file a form 2553 with the IRS to become an S Corporation. In an S Corporation, the shareholders are taxed like a partnership or sole proprietorship. In other words, an S Corporation avoids the "double taxation" of C Corporations in which taxes are paid by shareholders and the corporation itself. In a C Corporation, shareholders report income from the corporation on their 1040 form. The S...

When should a company consider change management? Most would say when the management is unable to perform up to the optimum level that is required to maintain shareholders' equity and quarterly profits. But when it comes to leadership it is much more than that and to that point let me discuss one of the major times it is important to consider a change management situation for the upper executive management. Often when a company is going to lay off many employees, it may be necessary to bring in a new set of corporate executives. Once the layoffs are completed many employees may feel that they no longer trust the Company or the leadership and that in the future they may lose their jobs as well...

On February 17, 2009 President Barack Obama signed the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" ("ARRA of 2009) into law. Section 1251 of the bill temporarily reduces the recognition period for "built-in" gains tax (BIG tax) on S Corporations from 10 years to 7 years for the 2009 and 2010 tax years. Why is this important? Historically, if you were a shareholder in an S Corporation that converted from a C Corporation and sold the company within 10 years of the date of conversion, you would be subject to BIG tax. For 2009 and 2010, that 10 year "recognition period" has been reduced to 7 years. So, if you sell your S Corporation in 2009 or 2010 and it has been converted from a C Corporation at...

Combining Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains ERP with non-Microsoft Business System or CRM: Lotus Notes Domino, Oracle, DB2 There are multiple opinions on building your established large business IT system.

The history always proofs that staking on one thing statistically has a chance to fail, remember Windows/Mac battle in the middle of 1990th? Then Java resurrected UNIX world in the end of the 20th century. All these facts just tell us that any prediction of...

Unfortunately, there will be no Christmas this year because Santa Claus Inc. is filing for bankruptcy. The company could not make its loan payments, or cover its costs this November. The taxes at the North Pole have skyrocketed to pay the interest on that debt due to Socialist-liberal expenditures and runaway debt spending. The CEO of Santa Claus Inc. noted that the increased taxes on the businesses at the North Pole have crushed the community's economic vitality. Polar bears and Eskimos alike are waiting in line for the government to give them potatoes. The elves will now be laid-off from the Santa Claus factories after Mr. Claus was unable to get stimulus monies because he was not "too big to fail...

When I first got started my search for working at home online I knew there was a lot I needed to learn. I was willing to work hard and had plenty of time available to dedicate but I just didn't know where to begin. I decided to search for a program that would would teach me about what working online entailed and also help me determine which way to go. While researching online I came across so many different things that for a while I wanted to give up. Most of what I found were outrageous get rich quick schemes claiming immediate success. Not to say they wouldn't work, but I was looking for basic information to help me get started as I did not have large funds available to throw away. After some time...

SMC, Specialty Merchandise Corporation, has been in business for years. Basically what SMC does is allow you to sell their products. The idea is that you will buy them at a low price and then sell them high. This is great in theory. But after talking to a large number of people that work from home, with SMC, I have yet to find a single person who can support him or herself from their SMC income. SMC has run ads in small business magazines for several years. They have also produced a large number of infomercials. SMC's success with their infomercials is largely due to the fact that they did choose the right person to be spokesman for the company. Tom Bosley, the dad from "Happy Days". Tom is the...

What’s better: Working for a small company or a large corporation? When I worked for a large corporation I was convinced that it was the best way to get ahead in my professional career. Years later I worked for a much smaller business, and was then convinced that a smaller organization was definitely best for me. It is only now that I look back on both of those experiences and realize that there really is no definite answer. I realized over time that there are many positives and negatives as well as many drawbacks to both. It all comes down to your personal preference and where you feel the most comfortable. I loved the feeling of prestige when I worked for a large multinational company. It had a...
