An LLC is a legal form of business that has characteristics of both corporations and a partnership. This form of business offers limited liability protection to its owners. In other words the owners of the business cannot be held fully responsible for any debts that the business occurs or actions taken on its behalf. This type of business form is best suited for small businesses with that have a small number of owners and preferably just one.

So what are some of the basic characteristics of a Limited Liability Company? Well for starters the owners of an LLC are not partners or shareholders like they are in other forms of business they are members and every LLC has to have at least one member. Members of an LLC cannot be held personally liable for the debts of the company. This is the same as for a corporation. Just don’t make the mistake of signing any documents where you provide your personal guarantee that the company will pay a bill or honor an agreement. If the company for some reason does not pay that bill or live up to an agreement then you can be held liable.

So just like a corporation you as an owner can use an LLC as a form of protection for your personal assets. And depending on the type of business you want to form this can be extremely important if something were to happen. Because being an LLC also provides you with legal protection in case the company was to be sued for some reason. Sometimes being protected from your business is the most important thing of all.

Now how is a Limited Liability Company like a partnership? Plain and simple it’s all in the taxes. LLC’s are not subject to the double taxation rule imposed on corporations. To explain this rule is easy. If your business is a corporation and you make a profit for the year that profit must be taxed. After the profits are taxed then you as the owner may take the profits and issue them to yourself as the owner and any other people that own a percentage of the business. This of course is your dividend. Well the IRS views the dividend as personal income and it is again taxed as part or your personal taxes. In an LLC the profits are not taxed. They are distributed to the members based on whatever percentages have been previously worked out. Then they are only taxed as personal income when that person files their taxes for the year.

Also if the business loses money for the year all members of the LLC can deduct the equivalent loss percentage from their income. You’ll of course need supporting documents to prove the loss to the IRS. And if the members do want to leave their profits in the company for business purposes then the Limited Liability Company can file a tax return of its own.

What most people gain that form a Limited Liability Company is flexibility. You can structure the management however the members see fit. You have the protection of a corporation for your personal assets. And you can elect to either leave your profits in the company, have them taxed or the profits can be distributed and the members can pay the taxes themselves. But you avoid the double taxation penalty that corporations can incur.

Many small businesses today were begun or continued because of an opportunity. Businesses are often inherited or started without really being thought out. Some businesses become hugely successful while others will fail miserably and some will just putter along in mediocrity. Often the reason for each of these situations is due to education.

In the case of the wildly successful business that person has an education. But we’re not talking about some formal Ivy League school they might have attended. No these people are educated in running a business and in particular their business. Say the business is inherited then where did they get their education? Often it is because they’ve worked for that business for many years. The family member in charge of the business taught them the ropes. And they probably attended a college of some sort to give them a more formal education in addition to their on the job training.

Often small businesses are begun by people that have worked for another company doing exactly the same thing. They are trained by a company that now has become their competition. They know their business inside and out as a result. They’ve been able to observe the things that work and do not work. To fill in their knowledge gabs they then take classes in what they haven’t learned on the job. They learn things like accounting, financial analysis, and marketing. They learn about whatever is missing in their education.

Of course education might not be the only reason for failure but it is the most likely. If you decide to open a small business do you know the answers to the questions you will face? Do you know the answer to such questions as how to pick the best location for your business? How to do proper bookkeeping? What insurance do you need? How to comply with OSHA? How do you prepare financial statements? And many more such questions. Businesses fail because the people that start them don’t realize what they are getting into.

Finally we have businesses that putter along. Often this is intentional. Some people just want the freedom of being their own boss. They don’t have bib business ambitions and that is fine for them. But others would like to grow their business. These are usually the people that can use formal training. Often they know enough to operate their business but they lack that extra education needed to get over the hump. They might not know how to market their business. Or they might not know how to negotiate with their suppliers effectively. It can be any number of things that they are not sure how to do or they don’t do well enough. They know how to stay in business but not how to grow their business.

Education in business is a continual experience. Just because you’ve managed to get your small business up and running doesn’t mean you are off the hook. You need to learn all that you can about running it. Yes sometimes it seems as if we are too busy running it to be able to take the time to learn more. But you must make the time anyway. Sometimes your education should be of the formal variety such as a college course or seminar. And sometimes your education will be of the less formal type. Such as reading trade journals and researching websites for information.

Even though not everything you learn will be of use to you there are things that will be. You need to always keep the idea of furthering your education at the forefront of your thinking. It’s always better to know too much rather than not enough.

To a small business name recognition can mean everything. Often small businesses are built by word of mouth and some business cards but so much more can be done to help your business grow. You need to develop your small businesses image. It needs to become a brand. Even if your company only serves your local market you can still build up its brand name.

So what exactly is branding? Branding is the process of creating a clear, consistent message about your company or product. Branding is about developing an image for your business. It’s about building a name for yourself, and showcasing what sets you apart from other businesses that do what you do. And with all the different forms of media in use today branding is used to send out a consistent message to consumers.

There are many aspects that can be covered when we talk about branding but they all start with one theme. A business must build and display a consistent message for consumers. Branding refers to the concrete symbols that are used such as a name, logo, slogan, design, fonts, color scheme, symbols and sound for easy identification of the product. Building consistency for our brand is the first step in building our image.

Okay so what exactly do we mean by building consistency? Well from the first day your business had its doors open and you made your first business transaction you started sending out your message. The message you decided to send was actually made before you opened your doors. You started making your choices when you ordered your business cards, letterhead, stationary, and signage for vehicles, signage for your storefront, and uniforms for you and your employees. Everything that your customer will see related to your business is a part of the image and brand you are trying to develop.

When someone looks in the phonebook and finds your company they are exposed to your brand because they see your advertising. If they first want to find out more information on your company they might check out your website. This is another opportunity for them to see your brand. When they come to visit your location or you go to see them this is another opportunity for them to see your brand through building or vehicle signage. And then you give them a business card or brochure telling them about your product or service. Once again they are exposed to your brand.

From that first contact your potential customer receives exposure to your brand and then each instance thereafter reinforces that first contact. If you run television or print ads this can further reinforce previous contact with customers. If their experience was good when they dealt with your company then when they need such a product or service again they’ll remember you and be inclined towards doing business with you again. And when they hear of a friend that is interested in the same service they may be inclined to recommend you.

Your business is a brand especially if your business is service oriented and does not have an actual product. And your brand building begins before you even open your doors to the public. It needs to be a part of your marketing plan for your business so that you can begin to imprint it on the consciousness of consumers as soon as you open your doors.

If you run a small business chances are you’ve established some credit lines with local vendors. Places such as hardware stores, printing shops, and gas stations. And if you have a business that has employees you may be in a position of having to trust other people to use those credit lines on your behalf.

Often businesses have employees such as delivery drivers, or runners. People that are trusted to pick up tools or materials that are needed to help produce the products that your business manufacturers. This is especially true if you own a carpentry shop, plumbing company or other such business. You often need things but you’re the boss. You don’t have the time to be running out to the store every time someone in your shop needs something.

So what do you do? You send someone or you ask your delivery driver to make a stop. And unless you want to give that person a check or cash every time you need something you’ll have already established some sort of credit line. The problem occurs because of the fact that these employees eventually become known at the places they stop. You’re not going to receive a call from the hardware store every time they stop there for something.

Typically the business you establish the credit line with will have the person picking up the item sign an invoice to acknowledge the purchase for their records and then give a second copy to the customer. If that customer is your driver then it becomes their responsibility to give you that copy so you can pay the bill when it comes due. Over time as the person doing your shopping becomes known to your suppliers the opportunity for abuse manifests itself.

Often what happens is a purchase is made. One you did not authorize. But the supplier has no way of knowing that. They give your employee what they ask for and an invoice. The invoice will find its way into the trash. Eventually you will receive a statement that will include that missing invoice. You might wonder about but you’ll probably assume it was misplaced. So you call the vendor and ask for another copy.

This is your chance to check and see if something is going on that shouldn’t be. Check the invoice for unusual information. Things like the date the purchase was made and if included on the invoice what time did they make the purchase? Was the purchase made during normal business hours or was it after. Often such fraudulent purchases are made on a weekend. People that abuse your trust many times will try to do things after hours and tell the vendor about having to work late.

To try and avoid the problem to begin with there are steps you can take. Most vendors keep a card of authorized signors from your company. That way if you spot a signature you do not recognize the vendor can be held responsible for allowing the purchase. It will still be your responsibility to handle the employee and their conduct. You can also make it clear to your employees that you do check all the statements and invoices from your vendors. This shouldn’t be done in a threatening way just as a statement of fact so that they will be discouraged from doing something they shouldn’t. Also you can ask the vendor to send copies of all invoices to you so that you can verify all purchases.

Most employees would never consider abusing the trust given them by an employer but there are always some that feel they can get one over on the boss. Or they may feel slighted by something you did. Such as not giving them a raise they believe they deserve. The point of course is that it does happen but it can be prevented before it happens. And if an employee does go so far as to commit such an act they can be found out about.

Now I know you’ve probably heard about what blogs are and you’ve probably even read a few but have you ever considered starting your own? Probably not but maybe you should. First for the uninformed I’ll explain what a blog is. A blog is essentially a journal or newsletter that is regularly updated by the person who posted it. It’s meant to be an informal posting on a particular subject. It might be politics, sports, religion, or even mountain climbing in the Himalayas. A blog can be about what ever you want it to be including your business or product. Blogs offer people the chance to post stories about their own business experiences. They do this because their readers can relate best to each other and understand the trials and tribulations each other faces.

Blogging is a chance for you to tell your story to a much larger audience than you would normally receive. It’s a chance to spread the word about that incredible new product you’ve developed. And best of all you can tell your story in your own words which can be a lot of fun and very fulfilling.

Nowadays a blog can be fairly easy to setup. There are a number of companies that offer ready made templates to use for your blog. Some are free and some offer their service for a small fee. Sites such as Blog City, Blog Spot, and TBlog can help get you started. But if you want to make money off of your blog then you’ll need to be careful when choosing a host for your blog as some of them will use your blog to post their own advertising instead of you being able to do so.

But once your blog is up even if it isn’t immediately generating much traffic you can set up your advertising. You can sign up with a pay per click program or pay per impression. You can join an affiliate program. Or offer ad space directly to advertisers; although when your blog is new don’t expect much interest in it from that route until you’re more established.

The whole point of a blog is to become known for what you do or the knowledge that you have. By establishing a business blog you give yourself the opportunity to show your readers why they should listen or buy from you. You can use other people’s blog sites or if you are a bit more ambitious start your own! Either way it’s about getting more exposure for you, your business, and your product.

Running a small business is hard. We all know that to be true. And you as the heart and soul of your small business sometimes can barely find the opportunity to catch your own breath. Your business becomes your life and you give it everything you have. You live and breath your business. And it can consume you.

After eight years of running my business I realized I had become consumed by it. But not in a good way. Everything revolved around me. The finances, employees, customers, taxes, an so on. I had twenty-five people working for me. I had managers, salespeople, and workers. But nothing ever seemed to get done without my input.

At the time we were going through a fair amount of problems. I was the only one that might be able to solve them. But I no longer had it in me. My stress level had gone through the roof. I was overweight and had high blood pressure. My wife and I had just had our first child. I had all my employees depending on me and that obligation weighed heavily on my shoulders.

Then one day it happened. I walked into work and realized I hated being there. I couldn’t believe it. I realized I’d lost my love for the business. I guess the only way to truly describe the experience is to compare it to a marriage gone bad. When you first get married you’re madly in love with each other. But as time goes on you get used to each other and things start to settle down. Then the problems start. You start to bicker with each other. The bickering eventually turns into full blown arguments. Then one day you come home and realize it’s not worth it anymore, the love is gone and you want a divorce.

And so one day that is what happened to me. I realized that I’d lost my love for the business and I wanted out. I was actually quite stunned by the realization that what I’d spent the past eight years of my life building was over and that I wasn’t willing to do it anymore.

So I got out. My only option was to close the doors. I finished what projects we were obligated to do and I let my employees go. It’s of course way more complicated than that but I won’t go into it right now. I just new I had to be free of it all. Within a couple of months I was.

At the time that I was done I told myself I would never run another business again. Anytime I would think about it I would remind myself of all the headaches it caused me. But then a funny thing happened. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who just happened to be my former General Manager. He’s gone into business for himself in the same industry as I was in. He was telling me how his business was doing. Afterwards I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

I realized then that I missed it. That it was still in my blood. I missed all the good things that my business represented early on for me. I missed the challenge, the people, both customers and employees, and everything else.

The fact that a business takes on a life of its own and that you have to nurture and guide it along the way to success is such a challenge. I’d found that I missed those challenges a great deal. I realized that I wanted and needed to get back into it. I wanted to play the game again. Time will tell if things work out better than before. But at least I’ve got my passion for playing the game back. You gotta love the game to want to play.

Starting a new business is a very trying ordeal that is already complicated by the number of decisions you have to make. Decisions that involve money and since your the boss only you can make them. Just as you’re in business to sell and make money so are thousands of others. They offer a variety of products and services that although you think might be a good idea at the time really aren’t and will only prove to be a drain on your bank account.

I’ve seen all sorts of offers for items and services that would supposedly help my small business. But most small businesses are already cash strapped and can’t afford to be wasting money. And oh will you see some ways to waste your money. Those ways will come from door to door solicitations, emails, snail mail, and the occasional phone call. I even get regular fax’s telling me how good fax advertising works as I’m wading the paper up and throwing it away.

You’ll constantly get such offers. I’ve been offered magnets, buttons and pins to advertise my company. Coffee mugs and phone book covers as marketing materials. Credit card machines for credit card processing. Magazine advertising, and offers to build me a website.

I’ve even received offers from people wanting to help me sell my business. The list goes on and on. But hey maybe you’ve been in business awhile and are looking to sell or just want to know what your business is worth. Well what are you going to do with all these offers so you can see if one might just be useful?

The first thing you need to do is take a breather. If you have a sales rep right in front of you don’t fall for the pressure of having to make a decision right away. I once had a magazine rep that was in my office for over an hour trying to get me to commit to an ad in her magazine. She finally got me to sign and almost as soon as she left the office I regreted it. Here I was committing money to something that was going to cost me month after month and I’d let the pressure make my decision. I ultimately had to go to the trouble of canceling but luckily I hadn’t given her any money.

Constantly salespeople use pressure tactics to try to get you to make a decision. But you don’t want to be an impulse buyer. An early mistake I made was signing up for a check clearing machine. When you received a check from someone you would run it through the machine and the processing company would essentially insure the check by confirming the funds were in the account.

If the check bounced the processor would cover the check and incure the cost of getting the customer to cover the check. What I failed to pay attention to was my own customers. They are mostly businesses that never bounce checks and are repeat customers. But that machine was costing me monthly.

One bill from the processor and another from the leasing company for the machine. I was able to cancel the processing side by I was stuck with the lease at about $60 a month for four years. I made an impulse decision without considering all the ramifications.

The worst thing you can sign up for is a credit card machine. Yes you may need one but do your homework. You’ll find that you can get them a lot cheaper by buying them outright than by leasing. You’ll save thousands of dollars.

So when considering all these offers take time to really think them over. Don’t give in to the pressure, it can cost you a lot of money with little or no return.

Do you sell a product or service best suited for use by other businesses? Are you having a hard time building your clientele? Then we have a suggestion for you. Try selling to chain stores. You’d be surprised how easy it can actually be.

The first thing you need to do is pick a suitable chain to sell to. My own experience is in selling to restaurant chains. I’ve sold my service to many national chains over the years but on a local level. You’d be surprised about how uncoordinated they are in spending their money collectively. Many of them are free to order items and services specifically for themselves ever though each store in the chain may need that same item or service.

This brings me to the first part of the problem. Say you identify a chain with ten stores located locally. The first thing you need to do is identify if they are considered corporate stores, that is owned by one parent company or are they franchised stores controlled by one or more seperate owners. One of my larger restaurant clients has over twenty local stores but half of them are franchises owned by another company. So I have to deal with two different companies.

The next thing you need to do is to figure out how to get in. Now assuming you have been selling your product or service to other customers successfully then you should be able to use the same approach you’ve been using. If you are able try to identify the store most in need of what you have to offer.

The real key to selling to certain chains is taking advantage of the fact that they don’t necessarily use a system of centralized buying for their products or services. Some of the restaurant chains that I’ve done business with at one time had half a dozen vendors each with different pricing offering exactly the same service. Your job is to replace them.

So to do that you need to find a crack in the system. You need to find one store manager willing to give you a chance. If you can find that person and satisfy them then you have a chance to grab all the stores in that chain at least locally.

How are you going to do that? Well that’s the easy part. You’re going to leverage that relationship of course. Don’t do it right away of course. Allow some time for your new customer to get to know you. But remember store managers all know each other at least to some degree. They meet with each other probably once a month or more. Your job is to develop that first relationship as thoroughly and quickly as possible. Don’t over do it though, you wouldn’t want them to think you’re being pushy. But keeping long term customers is all about relationships so become an expert at them.

Once you’re confident that your new customer is happy with you and you feel safe then you take the straight forward approach about the other stores. You ask about them. See what your customer knows. Are they using another product or service, are they happy with it. Wouldn’t it be better if their chain only used one vendor? Ask them if they mind if you contact other stores. Can you use them as a reference? Could they mention you to the other managers in their meetings? You’d be surprised how much help existing customers can be with other stores if you have a good relationship and you take the time to ask.

Once you’ve landed that first store things can actually move pretty quickly as long as you’re up to the task. Unless their current vendor is really good at what they do most managers will be willing to give you a shot. Even if you don’t get it at first stay in contact with them. Many chain stores change managers more often than you would think. When that happens you get a new manager that has no reason to be loyal to a certain vendor. And often they don’t even know who the vendor was for a particular product or service.

The simple fact is that landing one chain store can produce for you numerous leads and much easier sales compared to individual store sales that can take much more time and money to sell to. If you need a good bump in your sales efforts chain stores can be a great place to start.

The only way to get better at something is to do it. Taking a speech or business communication class will force you to make presentations to audiences of people you don’t know.

Speaking to groups of people that you don’t know can be an extremely hard thing to do. For some it comes naturally but for most of us it’s about as pleasant as getting a tooth pulled. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With most skills that a person develops the old axiom “practice makes perfect” holds especially true. And eventually you might find that you even enjoy giving a presentation.

I’ve always hated giving presentations. I hated it so much that during high school I’d often be absent the day I had to give a speech or presentation. I hated it with a passion. I was always afraid I’d embarrass myself and in school if you do that you still have to show up the next day. Of course most of my fear was self induced.

But from the many speech’s I’ve been forced to give in my life I did manage to learn a couple of lessons. The biggest lesson I have ever learned about giving a presentation actually came in the seventh grade. Our teacher gave us an assignment for a speech that allowed us to pick what we wanted to talk about. For my topic I picked baseball cards. It was my favorite hobby so much so that I worked part time in a sports card shop and spent all my wages on baseball cards. I believe that they were my first ever true love. And when it came time to make my presentation I aced it. I even went beyond my allotted time without realizing it.

I later wondered what was different about that presentation compared to others I’d had to do. Then it dawned on me, I loved my topic and I knew everything about it.

As a small business owner I also love what I do. I love talking to people about what my company does. And I hope that you as a small business owner love what you do because passion can take you a long way. And loving what you do can make that sales presentation go a lot easier. After all you’re just talking about something you love.

My second important lesson came years later while I was in college. To meet my degree requirements I was forced to take the always dreaded speech class. In it I learned to prepare because if you don’t love the subject then you need to know it even better. It will lessen the potential stumbling that might otherwise occur.

But even more importantly it made me get up in front of a group of people I didn’t know. And I had to do it again and again. Naturally I was able to get more comfortable with what I was doing. Later on in my schooling I took Speech two and business communication so that I could stay in practice even though I could have opted for other courses.

I can’t begin to emphasize how important practice is to becoming good at presentations. And practicing in front of friends doesn’t cut it. You need an audience you don’t know. I know for a lot of us going back to school may be a pain but you only need to take speech, not get a degree.

Another way to get regular practice is to volunteer as a guest speaker. I myself periodically volunteer as a guest speaker for one of my former professors who happens to teach small business. A good place to do this would be your local community or junior college where there’s less pressure on you and the professors are more open to people that approach them with such an idea. All you need to do is contact the business department for information. You might even end up liking it. You might dread giving a speech now but with practice you may embrace them.

Everybody who surf’s the internet has at one time or another run into Adsense ads. Nowadays they seem to be on just about every website out there. We have them to if you haven’t noticed. If your wondering why they’re so popular it’s because they work and they’re easy to set up. And it might just be that you could use them too.

Of course many websites run by bigger companies have the ability to actually sell their ad space themselves but for smaller businesses on a tight budget using something like Adsense is a good way to go. In fact it has proven so popular that there have been a number of books written on the subject. Our goal here is to just give you the basics of the program. If you want more information you can use our search engine and type in Adsense.

Its starts with a website. You need to already have a published website to sign up for the program. It doesn’t though need to be a finished website. But you do need to have some pages published that have some sort of content that lets visitors know what the website is going to be.

I recommend waiting until the site is about half way done and it contains relevant content to what you are building. The reason for this is that once you sign up Adsense needs to be able to review the site for content. They of course do not want their ads appearing on inappropriate websites. Publishing areas that are meant to contain text can help with this more than adding all your photos would.

Okay so you’ve got the begginings of your website published or you already have one and are prepared to make some changes. The next step is to sign up. If you don’t already have a regular Adsense account you’ll be asked to create one before you can sign up for Adsense.

They’ll ask you for an email address which does not have to be an Adsense one. Once that is out of the way you can sign up for Adsense and submit your website address. Now comes the hard part, you have to sit back and wait. Probably for three or four days maybe more. And even though they will be checking out your website you can keep working on it.

Okay now assuming you’ve been approved and most websites have no reason not to be we’ll move on to the next part. Now Adsense will walk you through what to do. It’s a fairly easy process that will have you ready in no time. Once you’ve gone through their set up process you’ll be ready to post some ads. During setup you will need to be prepared to fill out a quick tax form as you do have to pay taxes on your earnings. You’ll also need to provide a bank account for them to send your payment unless you prefer to receive a check in the mail.

Once your setup is complete you’ll be ready to create some ads. Now you do need to realize that you do not get to pick who’s ad is displayed. What happens instead is your website is constantly checked for content. They search the content and use keywords so that Adsense can send you ads that will be relevant to your site. Using our website as an example we obviously get sent ads that are business related. So based on what kind of website you’ve put together you should receive mostly relevant ads.

The final step depends on who is resposible for editing your site. Our website is run by our own staff and we have the ability to not only edit our content but also the ads we display. We can pick both the size of the ad and where we want to place it on any given page. So if you do your own editing then this can be a very easy process for you.

There are two basic types of ads, text and image. You can also do a rotating ad that alternates between the two. They have some basic sizes to pick from and you can set up as many styles of ad as you like. For each page of your website you’re allowed up to three ads that can be any size. Once you’ve created the type of ad you need you’ll be provided with the link to it.

The link itself is html code that has been written for you. Once you see the code it’s as simple as copy and paste. If you pay for professional website design then the code can be provided to your webmaster for them to put it in. But it’s basically that simple they write the code for you you copy it and paste it into the appropriate area. Once you publish the page you’ll be able to see the ads, but only on the actual website not in any kind of preview mode that your website buildng program may have.

Now the final question is how do you make money? It’s pretty simple, your paid for impressions. Basically every time someone views a web page you get an impression. Once you reach 1,000 impressions you’ve earned some money. How much I can’t say as it varies. But this information should allow you to get started.
