Why people tip so low in Europe- Small Business Management

I’m away on vacation with Natalie.  She’s my sweetie and travelling companion.

We’ve been over to London, Brussels, Frankfurt and now in Munich.

We’re having a great time.  We’ve also been learning about some of the differences between Europe and Canada.

More windmills, fast trains, container boats on the river Rhine and why everyone tells us not to leave big tips in Europe.  That’s interesting, isn’t it?

Using Equity Financing to find money for a business- How to buy a business

A few weeks ago someone posted a request on YouTube asking for examples of equity financing.

Equity financing is one of the hardest things for a small business owner to pull off but yields huge results.

You get money with no fixed payment.

There is a cost though, you start to give up some of the flexibility and control you enjoy as a sole-owner.

Equity financing comes in many flavours and has its’ own set of hazards when you try to put it in place.

Another neat way to get cash to buy a business

I’m not really here.  I’ve gone camping with my kids.

Taking days off whenever you want is one of the advantages of owning your own business.

Recently, I sent out an offer to my e-mail subscribers offering them the first opportunity to download my new special report; How to Borrow Money from Business Brokers.

I’ve gotten some incredible feedback from those who bought the product.

One business broker from Texas told me he was apprehensive at first, but now that he understands the technique, he’ll do it when he needs to.

Finding money to finance the purchase of a business is one of the common roadblocks that keeps people from buying a successful and profitable business.

If you are planning to buy a business, you should learn this powerful technique.  Go to www.DavidCBarnett.com and click the ‘order books’ tab.  You’ll find How to Borrow Money from Business Brokers there.

Just how expensive is Merchant Cash Advance Really??- David C Barnett

Tom says I don’t love small business people.

If I did, I wouldn’t be so hard on Merchant Cash Advance he claims.

You see, I made a video 3 years ago about how small businesses with credit card terminals could effectively sell a portion of their future cash flows to get money today.

I said that this was a very expensive way to finance a business and that people need to be fully informed about the actual costs.

Tom thinks that I got my numbers wrong and that we should be rejoicing that this financing option exists in light of apathy and searing hatred on the part of big evil banks.

I made a new video where I explain how expensive merchant cash advance can really be and the difference between APR and ‘payback.’  Payback is a new financial term created by this industry to try to confuse unsophisticated small business owners.

Does every Small Business need employment contracts?

Do small businesses need employment contracts when they hire?

An email that arrived a few weeks ago caught my attention when it talked about the importance of employment contracts even for small businesses.

HR Expert Sarah Mullins and I speak about why and how you should get things on paper, even in the tiniest of businesses.

I also learned an incredible fact about buying businesses in Nova Scotia.  It highlights why you need local legal advice with some of the details when you buy or sell a business.

Watch and learn how and why all businesses can benefit from employment contracts in dealing with employees: https://youtu.be/rjg0q7F0C-Q
