Your Business Is In Debt. Now What?

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. While debt can be an important tool in business, it can also be a danger if misused. What do you do if you business goes into debt? The following contributed post is entitled, Your Business Is In Debt. Now What?

* * *

If your business is in serious debt, it can cause an enormous amount of stress and misery. You may wonder what your options are and what you can do to turn the situation around. In this article, we’re going to take a look at some frequently asked questions so that you have the knowledge you need to proceed if the bailiffs come knocking.

What Are My Options If My Bank Calls In My Business Overdraft?

Many businesses rely on their business overdrafts to provide them with the capital that they need to survive. Unfortunately, some banks can demand that you pay back the entire overdraft immediately, not giving you any time to actually earn the money you need. If you don’t pay back the money you owe, then you can lose access to your account altogether. The best strategy in this situation is to go to another bank and open a new account, or open a separate account right now with an overdraft facility if you think your bank may shut your account.

Can I Get Debt Counselling?

Debt counseling business services help you reduce stress, manage your finances, and work out whether you can afford to repay the money you owe long term. Through the debt counseling process, some people discover that they can no longer sustain their businesses and have to shut them down. Others realize that they can better manage their money for a happier, more productive working life.

Can My Landlord Change The Locks On My Business Premises?

The rules for business premises are different from those for your private residence. A landlord can evict you immediately from commercial premises if you fail to pay the rent. They are also allowed to change the locks, but in most cases, they must apply to the court first to do this.

What Happens If I Cannot Pay An Employee?

In most cases, you have up to fourteen days to pay an employee any money that you owe them. If you can’t pay them because you don’t have the money to do so in your business account, then you must make alternative arrangements. Most business owners will try to come to some resolution with employees, paying them through installments if and when the money comes through.

Can Debt Collection Agencies Take Your Tools And Business Property To Repay A Debt?

Debt collection agencies are not the same as bailiffs. They do not have the right to force entry into your property and take your possessions. Usually, companies will hire debt collection agencies if you’ve missed a payment or two. After that, they may then pass the matter onto the courts and bailiffs who may decide that they can take possessions from you by force.

Can I Still Have A Bank Account If I Go Bankrupt?

In general, the answer is yes, but these accounts tend to be very basic. It’s unlikely that you’ll get an overdraft facility or the option to borrow money. You’ll also probably have to stick with a debit account.

Giving Your House Its Groove Back

Two key focus of my blog is Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. The greatest investment many people will make is their house/primary residence. In addition to enjoying your home in the here and now, it’s important to also think about reselling it one day which may require some updates and renovations. The following contributed post is entitled, Giving Your House Its Groove Back.

* * *

From time to time, we all get bored; after all, we are only human. Boredom can strike at work, with a partner, and most prominently, it can strike at home. We are all guilty of taking a look around the home and wishing things were different.

For most people, they want to give their home a new lease of life, but available finances can often get in the way. In this post, we are going to be examining what exactly gives a house a new feel, and then we will take a look at a few things you can do around the house to really give it a brand new spark of life.

Things To Consider When Updating Your Property

When it comes to updating your home, there are a few reasons you may want to give it a boost, and depending on these reasons, there are certain things on today’s list you may wish to consider.

The first reason most people give their home a little update is just that they want a fresh feel to their home; secondly, people also choose to freshen up their home in more extreme ways, and these ways will often be to add value to the home.

Whichever of these groups you fit into, there are a few things to consider, for those looking to add value, you will need to spend a little in order to see some return on your investment. For those who want to achieve a little freshness in the home, it’s probably not a great idea to spend huge amounts on things that won’t do a lot to the value of your property.
What Gives A House Its Groove?

When we look at the things that really give a house its spark, on the outside, we think of how appealing it is to onlookers, and on the inside, we have to consider not only how the house looks, but also how the house feels.

Now, when we talk about how the house feels, we don’t mean a system based on where your furniture is, we mean how your house feels based on psychological facts. If you aren’t quite sure what we are on about, worry not, we will be explaining a little further into the post.

Give Your Garden A Revamp

Something that often gets left until last when it comes to updating the home is the garden. If you are blessed with having space in the garden, there is no better time than now to really put some love into it.

While the inside of the house is incredibly important, having somewhere to escape to that’s peaceful and that allows you just to appreciate the world can be equally, if not more important. When it comes to giving your garden a revamp, you may consider lawn treatments and flowers as a standard, but there are some additions that will really give your garden a little extra life.

A great and cheap addition to every garden could be an awning close to the house. These awnings can provide protection from the weather, both bad and good, and can also be a great separator in the garden.

If you just want to simply clean up your garden, then you should consider Industrial Pressure Washing on any paving or decking. While some will opt for standard pressure washers, the performance levels are generally quite low, and you won’t get the same crisp, clean finish.

Create Some More Space

The next item on the list is great for both people wanting to stay in their forever home and for those hoping to increase the value of their homes, and that is some form of extension.

One of the most popular forms of extension nowadays is to create a ton of room by having the basement renovated. Unbelievable, there are over 132 million homes in the US with a basement, and most of them go completely unused.

By converting your basement, you can extend the space in your home exponentially, and if you ever come to sell the home, the renovation will usually pay for itself and then add some profit on top of that too.

Alternatively, should you not have space on the lower levels of your home, you could always aim higher. Another addition to the home that adds space and value is an attic conversion.
Just like basement conversions, a loft conversion can have many uses. Unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be used for, and this is usually why basement projects are more popular.

Update Your Flooring

If you haven’t updated the flooring in your house for some years, your house may have a certain aged feel that no amount of decorating will shake.

If you have an old carpet, this can really drain the personality from your house, and the only solution to getting it back is an extreme one. One of the best ways to really give a house that modern and sophisticated look is to update the flooring throughout.

In today’s world, the most popular option for flooring seems to be hardwood or laminate. Flooring like this is so popular generally due to its simplicity to manage. While carpets may be wonderful, warm and homely, they take on dirt very easily and can stain and be destroyed in no time at all.

When it comes to laminate or hardwood, you can set your Roomba to clean all day, and you can tackle any dirt with a simple wipe over with a mop or cloth.

Hardwood floors can also add a little extra value to the home, but it’s recommended to go with laminate should you be considering selling up.

Get Spring Cleaning

The final thing to make the post today is the one that costs nothing. While this tip is completely free, you may find yourself amazed at what a real clean and declutter can do for your home.

As we mention briefly, early when your house has its groove back, it will have psychological and visual benefits, and this is the main one that will really make your house feel amazing. When you really start to deep clean a house, you often find yourself getting rid of years of accumulated junk. The moment you start to get rid of junk, this is when you start to realize just how much space you really have in your home.

A lot of people store so much stuff that’s collected over the years, and this post isn’t saying throw everything away; it’s simply saying be mindful of keeping things around when you don’t use them.

If you have items that you could store, you should do so, as a simple spring clean can completely give your house a brand new lease of life.

Conclusion

As you can probably imagine, there is so much that you can do with your house to give it a brand new feel. Whether it’s spending to create space or even just doing a spring clean, the options are almost endless.

While we have only mentioned a few things in this post, you shouldn’t restrict yourself to just these. Maybe this post can just serve as an inspiration to you when you are trying to give your house it’s long lost groove.

The 4 Stages Of Product Design Your Business Needs To Get Right

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. If your business creates a product, there are a couple of stages to be mindful of. There is a step-wise transition from creating the idea, to its research and development, to the selling phase. The following contributed is entitled, The 4 Stages Of Product Design Your Business Needs To Get Right.

* * *

A good product is at the heart of every successful business, which is why the product design process is one of the things that all new businesses need to get right. Unfortunately, a lot of new business owners don’t know how to translate a good idea into a working product that catches the attention of the consumer. If you are planning to start your own business, read this quick guide to the product design process to help you create the best possible product. Any type of product or business has to ensure that it follows certain steps to get the most out of their business efforts. Marketing is how it all begins, but of course the idea and implementation must all tie in nicely. No matter the industry niche, it’s important to look at the idea, prototype and the groups to see how it will work. Even lawyers have to exude a certain amount of marketing skill to be taken seriously. It doesn’t just stop with digital businesses. Lawyer SEO could help in this instance of course. What industry are you choosing to delve into? Will it be ecommerce or perhaps interior design? You need to start the journey with a good headspace and a lot of enthusiasm. So what are some good ways to get started?

Good practices to carry out

1. Keep finances separate, on the one hand those of your company and on the other hand the personal ones.

2. Give yourself work hours and respect the routine. Part of the success of a business lies in being consistent with your daily work.

3. Create marketing campaigns from the beginning. You can even start launching campaigns before you open your business to generate interest and attract the attention of future customers.

4. Create your work team. The beginnings are tough and everyone knows it. Make sure you have a team to advise you on your company. It all starts with you, however.

Let’s have a look at how to begin…it all starts with a great idea.

The Idea

Every product starts as a simple idea. When you are coming up with a product idea, there are a few important things to consider. Firstly, your product needs to fill a need of some kind. Look at existing products and think about where they fall down and how you could improve on them. Alternatively, think about common problems that people have in their everyday lives and try to come up with products that solve those problems. You also need to make sure that the product doesn’t already exist and your product is different enough to other products out there. If you just make a few small tweaks to an existing product, that isn’t enough incentive for people to buy it. You will only be successful if your product offers something that nobody else can.

The Prototype

Once you have your idea and you have finalized a design for it, the next stage is to make a prototype. Make sure that you don’t cut corners and you go to a professional company like Evans Manufacturing to get the prototype made. This initial prototype will be used for focus groups and showing to investors, so it’s important that it is good quality and it demonstrates all of the benefits that your product offers.

Focus Groups

Once you have a prototype, you need to run some focus groups to see how consumers respond to it. A lot of business owners find that, although they thought their product was amazing and it filled a gap in the market, the general public didn’t agree. Just because you think it’s a great idea, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is. Running focus groups will give you an idea of what works about the product and what doesn’t. It’s important that you test the product with a wide range of different age groups and demographics to get a clear idea of the potential problems with the product.

Redesign And Launch

It is likely that your focus groups will pick up on some issues with the product so the next step is to go back to the drawing board and make some tweaks to the design. Once finished, you are ready to put your product into production and launch it. The launch is so important because you need to get people excited and build some momentum so you see good first-day sales levels. You should use social media to advertise the upcoming product launch, and then host a marketing event on launch day. As long as you market it effectively and you have taken care during the design process, your new product will be a big hit.

The product design process is absolutely vital if you want your new business to be a success, so make sure you don’t cut any corners.

Never Neglect These Parts Of Your Business

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. In order to keep your business running successfully, there are parts that you must constantly mind. Paying attention to those parts will keep the performance of your business consistent and even make it successful. The following contributed post is entitled, Never Neglect These Parts Of Your Business.

* * *

It’s understandable that every business owner needs to focus their energy in specific directions. After all, a business is extremely complicated, and it would be just about impossible to focus on everything at once. The problem arises when business owners consistently neglect particular parts of their business for long periods of time. This can be for a variety of reasons including lack of technical expertise and even simply not being that interested in it. But when you’re running a business, you need to be willing to take care of every part of it, no matter what it is. With that in mind, here are a few things that far too many business owners neglect, and why you should make sure that you don’t!

Logistics

Considering just how important it really is, it’s baffling that logistics seems to be neglected by so many businesses. Logistics simply refers to how you store and transport your good. Obviously, how important this is will depend on the type of business you’re running, but it will almost always be something that you have to think about. While many business owners are aware that logistics is important, they don’t really put effort into making sure that the logistic side of the business is being run as efficiently as possible. Of course, it’s not just about efficiency, it’s also about safety. Something like an 18-wheeler accident can be one of the worst things that happens to any business. Proper training and constant maintenance of your vehicles are essential to avoid law suits and injuries. Make sure that you’re paying close attention to your business’s logistics so that you can figure out more effective working methods as they arise.

Measurements

If you’re working with any product, then the measurements of that product will be imperative. Anyone could tell you that, if you’re producing large volumes, it’s important that your products are uniform. And yet, when it actually comes down to it, far too many businesses leave this small, but crucial detail by the wayside. Don’t think that you can just think about it regarding size and weight either. Depending on the type of product you’re selling, the measurements you need to take will vary.

Web presence

Yes, we all know that a business needs a website. That’s something that’s pretty much universally known at this point. The problem is that far too many businesses seem to think that that’s the beginning and end of the presence that they need online. In fact, your website is only one of dozens of online services that your business should be utilizing. Every business should have social media pages as a large part of their marketing strategies. Similarly, you should make sure that your business has a blog that is regularly updated with interesting and engaging content. When you have an online presence set up, you need to make sure that you’re getting your presence out into the world. You should dedicate some time and focus on the SEO for your business to make sure that people can actually find the website and social media pages you worked so hard to create.

It might seem like paying attention to all of these things could leave you feeling somewhat stretched thin. However, the truth is, if you’re not willing to put the effort into taking care of every aspect of your business, it might be worth asking if being a business owner is the right choice for you.

With that in mind, here are some of the things to think about.

Work on your idea and create a business plan

One of the first things you need to think about doing would be to work on your idea and create a business plan. This might sound obvious, but many people are in love with the idea of working for themselves but have no clue how or what to do to make it happen. You may already have an idea that you have worked on for some time. Or it could be that you just have the desire to do it. Working on your idea and then creating a business plan to support it can help you to make the dream more of a reality.

Do you personally have the right skills to do it?

Another thing to think about would be to decide whether you have the right skills to make it happen. Sure you may think that you have that entrepreneurial flare but do you have business know-how to go with it? This is when speaking to business coaches for entrepreneurs could help you do that. They may be able to give you confidence and the boost that you need in your skills to help you on your way to starting a business from home or working for yourself.

Where will you work and when?

Working for yourself does bring up the question of where you will work and when is the best time to do it? Many businesses will start off from home, and this can give you great flexibility as well as keeping the costs down. But you might also need to think about when the best time to work is. For some people, they may be more productive in the morning, whereas others will find working in the evening is the best time to make the most of family life and other commitments during the day. Having dedicated time and also a dedicated space to work can help you to stay focused.

The financial backing to do it

Finally, you may need to consider what financial backing you have? This might be because you need to think about supporting yourself and your family in those early set up days. Or feeling the need for an investor to help you kick start the venture in terms of products and creating a brand.

Let’s hope these suggestions help you to start your own business next year.

Tips On Finding A Good Wholesaler

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. Depending upon the type of business you’re running, finding a good wholesaler could be the difference between your operations sinking or swimming as they can help you properly manage the costs of your goods and services. The following contributed post is entitled, Tips On Finding A Good Wholesaler.

https://www.pexels.com/photo/men-going-around-a-warehouse-1797428/

There are many businesses that use and sell wholesale products, from general home stores to event planning companies. Unless these businesses make their own products, they need to find a good wholesaler to provide them with the products they require.

If you take a look on the Internet, you will see that there are many companies offering items on a wholesale basis. Nevertheless, the importance of choosing with care cannot be overlooked, which is why we have put this handy guide together. Keep on reading to discover how to find the best arwholesale company for your requirements.

First and foremost, you will want to take a look at the company’s product selection to ensure they have a wide range of products for you to choose from. Choose a specialist company, for example, if you need mannequins, then shop at the likes of https://shop.moremannequins.co.uk/, rather than a general store.

Aside from this, you also want to be sure that the company has the capability to cater to bulk orders. Is there are a restriction on the number of items you can purchase? It is imperative to make certain the wholesaler can handle the level of demand you are going to place on them, otherwise you will only be frustrated when they can’t complete your orders.

Quality is a vital factor. After all, the level of quality the company offers is going to reflect on you. Therefore, if you purchase cheap artificial flowers, for example, which look tacky and you can easily tell are fake, they are going to look bad for your business and your brand image, as you are presenting these flowers to your customers as your products. You may want to consider making a small order initially to check that you are happy with the products being sold.

Aside from this, it is a good idea to read reviews that have been left by previous customers to see what they have to say about the wholesale products they purchased from the company in question. You should be able to pick up on anyone with a bad reputation with ease.

Aside from this, the price is, of course, a pivotal factor when it comes to purchasing wholesale products. Needless to say, you should never choose a company simply because it is the cheapest. However, you do need to make sure the products are reasonably priced, especially as you will want to make a profit yourself. It is a good idea to go for a company that offers special deals and discounts, whether it is free delivery or reductions on bulk orders, as this presents you with an effective way of making your money go further.

Concentrate on your customers

Your customers should always be the focus of your business, of course, so how much do you know about them? How well do you understand their requirements and needs? How satisfied are they with your service and products?

If you do not do so already, you need to seek customer feedback regularly. Get feedback directly, do not attempt to second guess how your customers feel about your business.

Your customers will have an opinion and they can probably offer you valuable criticism that you can use to improve on what you currently do. Be open to hearing everything that they have to say and take it all on balance before devising new plans and strategies.
Customers appreciate that you are taking the time to ask for their views and will be more likely to engage with you and continue to buy from you if they can see that you are taking their ideas and feedback on board.

Work with the professionals

It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need to learn and master every single aspect of your business, after all it is all yours. However, there is absolutely no need to do this as there are experts out there only too willing to step in and support you.

Whether your busy would benefit from managed IT from companies such as UOTech.co Managed Services or you would appreciate some support around your marketing strategy, it can make a lot of sense to start working with the professionals. It will mean that you get some guidance from specialists in their field, they can take a burden from you and free you up to focus on other areas of your business.

Build an effective team

Your business can be improved if you are working to build an effective team. To do this, you will need to recruit wisely and then put the time in to training and coaching them consistently. Everybody should be clear on their role within your team and be confident to carry out that role. They should be made to feel valued and an integral part of your business.

Look after your team by showing how much you appreciate and value them. Work on the ambience of your office, take the time to spot when they have done something well and thank them, and look out for ways to reward them appropriately. Keep the lines of communication open so that everyone feels that they are a part of your business and feel able to contribute their own ideas to help you to continue improving.

If you have a creative skill that you do not make the best use out of, why not find a way of starting a small business that you can run in your spare time in order to make some money from your skills? There is no need to hide your talents when there are lots of opportunities to take these items out to a wide range of people who may be interested in buying them for gifts or for their own homes.

It has never been easier to make money off the creative skills that you possess, and not only will you hopefully find a nice extra source of revenue, but you will also enjoy the experience of creating and find that it makes you feel great.

Set Up A Stall In A Craft Fair Or Christmas Market

An excellent opportunity to sell your items would be to set up a stall in a craft fair or a Christmas market. There are plenty of openings for stalls in these types of events and it is worth doing some research online to find out what is available in your local area.

Once you have found a market that you can join, you will need to create a stall. Buy a hop-up display if you would like to create a more professional look. Use the signage to highlight your products and services as well as including your name and any brand that you would like to create associated with your crafts. Make sure it is eye catching and professionally designed.

Christmas markets have boomed in popularity in recent years and you will find that there are a lot of people who will be looking for gifts for their loved ones. This is a great opportunity for you to make some real sales. Start looking for a stall as early as possible as these events can be very popular.

Make sure that when you run your stall that you are focused on providing great customer service. Often, the thing that seals the deal when it comes to selling craft products is the service that you deliver. People like to know a bit about who made the item as it adds to the product that you have made.

Set Up An Etsy Store

Online marketplaces such as Etsy are a great place for you to sell your crafting goods. Stores are very easy to create and you can upload descriptions and photos of your products in order to attract customers in.

Getting your items onto your store is only half of the work though. You will need to market your Etsy store through the use of social media. This can be a lot of work and you will need to build up followings on major sites such as Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest in order to attract some interest in your items.

Sales will take some time to rise on your Etsy store so have a long term strategy and keep working at it. The important aspect of doing this is that you enjoy the work that you are creating though, so ensure you retain that passion.

4 Ways To Improve The Security Of Your Business

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. No matter how novel and exciting your business idea is, you must secure it. You must optimize the security of your business on numerous fronts. The following contributed post is entitled, 4 Ways To Improve The Security Of Your Business.

Regardless of the kind of business that you operate, you’ll want to keep all of your assets safe and sound. Whether it’s stock, technology, data, or money, there are several ways that you can enhance your security.

1 . Invest in CCTV

A good CCTV system is a must-have to keep your premises protected. CCTV cameras can function to deter criminals from targeting your property. As well as this, a CCTV monitoring system means that you’ll have evidence should a crime occur. The theft or damage of equipment or data will cost your business time and money both. CCTV can serve as a good damage control solution should the worst happen. Should extreme damages occur in the event of a break-in, it’s a good idea to call upon commercial restoration companies to provide help. Such companies can also assist in the event of high scale damages; from extreme weather to other structural disasters.

2 . Hire a security guard

To protect your business premises, a security guard can be a great call. Having a well-trained security professional will provide you with peace of mind that your building and employees are safe. A security guard will be able to monitor video surveillance around the building and ensure the correct access to the correct people. They can check ID and direct visitors as needed. Again, a security guard alone can be a great deterrent to potential thieves.

3. Cybersecurity

In the modern business world, cybersecurity is just as big an issue as physical security. It’s essential to put means in place to protect yourself online. When employees are accessing your network, ensure that you implement a multi-factor authentication system. Such a system involves several different checks to prove the identity of the employee. From biometric traits like fingerprints to codes sent via SMS; you can be sure that the right people have access. It can also be useful to hire an IT professional to perform a cybersecurity audit. An audit can identify and fix the weak points in your security system. When you implement new security solutions, ensure that you train your staff in terms of best practices. Using the internet to help your business can only be successful if you know how to stay safe online.

4. Install an alarm system

An effective alarm system is a great way to improve the security of your business. Such systems can alert the police quickly and efficiently should there be a break in. Regardless of an alarm system, it can be a good idea not to store all your valuables on-premises. Some businesses like to invest in storage solutions to have another place to keep valuable data or assets. Spreading your assets over multiple locations can be a good damage control solution.

Lastly, make sure that you backup your valuable documents and data and use the cloud as much as possible. If you’re concerned about cybersecurity, it can be beneficial to invest in a cybersecurity insurance policy. These policies can cover you in the event of a data breach, including any loss of revenue incurred as a result.

Start Growing And Selling Produce

If you’re a bit of a green thumb in the garden, then there might be a business in what you are successfully able to grow. In this world, where we’re trying to be more sustainable in order to help and support the environment, people will likely want to buy locally. This is because it’s more sustainable and kinder on the environment when you’re getting your fresh produce from a few doors down. First, you want to figure out exactly what you can sell and preferably, you want food and herbs that are going to be quick to grow and harvest. You may also have quite a bit of land to work with and so having somewhat of a farm might be a useful business to operate on the side of your full-time job. It’s important that if you start expanding beyond selling locally, then you may need to get clued up with some Agriculture lawyers who can give you advice on contracts, etc.

Rent Out A Room

You might have quite a big-sized property, so big in fact that you have too much to make use of. Renting out your space has now become very profitable after the creation of sites like Airbnb, which lets pretty much anyone put up a room or home as a holiday let.
