Matt asked:

I work for a major tech firm (semiconductors) and want to start a side business. The side business doesn’t exactly compete with them but it doesn’t really help their cause either… Can they steal my ideas and work and claim it as their own?

Emily P asked:

I have a few questions about the screenplay writing business. For instance, do they normally live in LA close to the actual making of the movie in Hollywood or can they live anywhere? Also, can someone explain the basics of the process of turning a screenplay into a movie?

What advantages are there to a small business?

Don Squirtellee asked:


I work in a small contracting office. We are never the “low bidder” because we plan for some unexpected difficulties, and we are not “Change Order Artists”. With the economy as is, its kind of difficult to get work since bigger companies have enough funding that they can undercut small businesses to tread water.

Any suggestions for what we can do to leverage our small business style?

If a small business hires either independent contractors or another business to perform work for them, what steps should that business take to make sure that the completed product is legally owned by the business and not the entities or individual employed to create that product? Pointing me to resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a BS in Business, and I work in healthcare. I want to continue in a field similar to this one, but I am not geared to the exact job I am doing. I am looking at a graduate degree that enables me to teach high school, but it will be a lateral move income-wise. I was wondering if there is anything else out there in a similar direction but that enables more income.

I’m finding it difficult to think of ways to do this without seeming pushy, or too salesperson-like. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer Man asked:


I am in the United States. I do not understand this and am confused. Suppose an online company that resells products needs a computer to manage the business. This is an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Do you just get it for free and the IRS pays for it? How does it work? Please explain in detail. Thanks.
