Business brokers are often asked by buyers to draft an 'offer' on a particular business for sale they might be interested in. Offers can take several different formats though. The most common offer to buy a small business for sale is a conditional purchase offer. This agreement stipulates the common deal points like price, terms and other conditions. The conditional agreement is moved forward by the buyer who usually waives conditions as they...more
Many of the top magazines and newspapers hire inexperienced writers to write about business topics, and although it is understandable that these publications hire young people, some of the information and advice out there is plain wrong. In many cases, these dont match what truly experienced and successful business people have gone through, and the problem may reside in the process.Secondhand information gets misunderstood, oversimplified, and...more
Author: Bennie GayWe have a big problem; all of our competition is selling their products for less than we are. This is causing us not to have any sales. We got ourselves into quite a bad situation; was there anything we could have done differently?Things would not have been so bad if we would have done our research! Research is our best friend in business, and in this regard it is no different. Before we build a site, we want to see how our potential suppliers stack up compared to everyone else online. Now, if our retail price is the same or higher than our competitors wholesale price, we really have a problem.Some people may wonder how a retail price could ever be the same as somebodies wholesale price that they have to pay their supplier. We'd talked previously about this phenomenon, and this is definitely one instance where we're seeing first-hand the effect this concept has with us and our business.Since we can't really order inventory in large amounts to reduce our cost, we should research the effectiveness of our supplier(s) before we create our website. If we do all of this before we create our site, we can still change suppliers or even find an entirely new niche if we...more

I've seen a lot of police action movies, and there are others that I find kind of boring. It's not because of the action scenes because one good movie I can tell you is "S.W.A.T". I like the scenes because they are more on strategy and not just shoot at the enemies. The only part that I don't like is the part that the good guys are actually kind of perfect. I mean they are not corrupt or anything. And that is a good thing, don't get me wrong. It is a reality that there are still some good cops in this world. But I want to see a movie that shows the negative side of the hero. Just like "Watchmen", only it is a sci-fi movie.But then I found this new movie starring "Nicolas Cage" and "Eva Mendes" entitled "The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans". When I first heard of the title, I judged it being a corny movie. I thought it was just like a typical action movie that has a bad story and scenes that will make you say, "That is impossible." But the moment I saw the poster and saw it was Nicolas Cage in that movie, it changed everything. I think that is the good thing of being a famous celebrity. However, you still need to find out if the movie is good or not even though big...more
