I am looking to sell one of my businesses in the Phoenix area. It is a part time business that is growing, however I am going to be relocating out of state. I have a broker but that doesn’t seem to be moving the process along quickly. Any ideas???? I have posted a listing on Craigslist and stumblehere.

I am planning to home phone line for my home but I have home based business. Can I still deduct part of my business phone calls? I am a sole proprietor but what if I incorporate as S corporation? Can I still deduct my part of my home phones for business use?

I am going to be getting a bachelor’s degree in economics and want to continue my education after that, I am aware of the MBA degree as well as a CPA (which at least in California, where I live, it is possible to get without actually receiving a bachelor’s in accounting). I am wondering, other than an MBA what are the top certifications to get in the business world that lead to an overall better career, I haven’t decided yet exactly what type of career I want to go into so anything having to do with finance, accounting, management, marketing and so on would be interesting and I think this may be of use to others who are looking to continue their education after college.

My husband and I have started a process serving business in Central Florida. After becoming licensed,we’ve visited over 200 attorney’s offices in the last three weeks with fliers, cards, etc. I’ve followed up with an individual email to each office manager. So far, we’ve had two phone calls. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the phone rings? BTW, I have a website up and running and our pricing in commensurate with the area.

I am looking at buying a children’s day nursery as a going concern. Is there any way that i can value a business, for example are there any ratios, calculations or magical formulas based on Turnover or Gross or Net Profit, etc.?
I seem to remember that someone once told me that you can value a business at 3 x its current Net Profits.

What I mean is with everything involed getting e-books, CD’s, personal coaches, making phone calls, and everything else you need to help start your business without the other people that are involed or the one’s who won’t to make a profit from you starting you own bussiness with the computer. I receive e-mails all the time about people that can help me start a business but, they all won’t something. I don’t know who is for real or not. I do know you got to invest some money and I know you won’t get wealthy over night. So what do I need to look for?
I am not sure to sell a product or try to offer direction in finding a product when starting my internet business.

I’m doing this business on my own and would like your suggestions on how to succeed. Thanks!

I’m currently working towards my BS in Business Administration at the University of Southern California. We are required to major in another topic within the business school like marketing, communication, etc. I was planning on international business because it seems cool that you can work on a business level with people from other cultures and countries. I was wondering exactly what kind of a job I could get if I chose to emphasize my business studies in international business.

Our business has been closed for a year now and our bank account for that business has also been closed for a year. We just received a check made out to our former business. How do we cash this since the business is no longer and the bank account is closed?
