Cardiff has always been the business hub when it comes to trading and maritime industries here in Wales. Its location and history attest to this claim. Cardiff lies at the centre of three river systems, the Taff, the Ely and the Rhymney and because of its strategic location, the initial residents here were able to control the movement of the rivers, thereby controlling trade. The Romans in AD 55-60 saw this opportunity and built forts in...more
Author: Kenneth KaufmanI have long suspected that most business people cannot give a simple definition for the common term of “business model.” It seems to be a nebulous and vague term that escapes most. Most people think they know what it means, but when you ask them to define it, they usually can’t come close to verbalizing it. So I decided to see if a group of business students, those who are in the great business textbooks every...more
Imagine this scenario (it is very similar to something that an acquaintance of mine dealt with not that long ago):Bob is a real estate investor. He has been very frugal with his money and has had good results from the real estate properties that he has been investing in for the past decade or so. In fact, he has had such good fortune (thanks to careful planning, analysis and management of his properties, of course) that he is ready to cash out and retire. However, as we all know, the time that we might want to cash out is not necessarily the best time to cash out. So what does Bob do?He has several options:1.He can try to sell his properties anyway, but he may have to leave them on the market for months, and they may not sell for years. 2.He can just hold on to the houses and keep on working as an investor, putting off retirement.3.He can try to come up with a way to make some money off of his properties even though they are not going to sell for anywhere near full value so that he can make some money to start his retirement. Now, at first Bob may not seem like a particularly likely candidate to sell his properties subject-to. After all, he is not in any danger of losing them. Hes...more

Today, people have options for getting a home sold quicker and easier, as shown in the tips listed below.- If a buyer comes in with a low price, instead of shutting it down, you might look at ways in which terms could be defined more in your favour in exchange for accepting the lower bid. - If you have repairs that need to be done but your finances do not warrant a budget to get things done, perhaps you could lower the price or you could ask buyers if they would allow you time to make all required repairs after the home sells. Obviously, you want your home to be in the best condition possible but if not, see if buyers would be a little flexible.- Make sure the real estate agent representing you on the sale of the home has access, either with a house key or lock box. This way, the agent would be able to bring potential buyers into the home when you are not there or at times more convenient to buyers.- When setting the asking price on the home, it is recommended that you be careful so if an offer were to come in just below that price, you would have some flexibility in accepting it. Obviously, setting the price too high would mean having the house sit too long on the market so...more
