| Posted: 05 May 2018 07:04 AM PDT So, I had an interesting interview with a potential employee. That employee doesn't want to be paid in dollars, whether on a 1099 or W2, he/she wants to be paid in the product we sell (at cost of course). For easy numbers, product cost = $10 and product retail = $20. He/she would like to be paid 2 units @ cost an hour. He/she made it seem like they have worked in this situation before. I won't be accepting this proposition. I've never had this before and obviously there are legal and financial risks involved.

I'm trying to start a property management company. We could bounce ideas off each other and stay somewhat accountable as we try to get our projects going. Web dev with b2b marketing experience here. If you'd like to connect, send a message with what you're working on? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 05 May 2018 12:46 PM PDT So full disclosure, I have never wanted to own or start a small business. I worked most of my adult life (I'm 31) for small companies, I have seen most of them fail, relationships ruined, people losing everything they own because a business failed. I have never had an desire to be my own boss, I have always been ok with just collecting a paycheck and letting someone else make all the decisions. That being said I have extensive knowledge and training of how to run a small business through some of my previous jobs. My wife works for this pretty successful real estate broker and they got to talking about me and what I wanted to do with my life. From what I understand one thing led to another and the boss told her that she wanted to fund an ice cream shop, basically be the silent partner and fund everything, and have me run the actual shop and make the day to day decisions and everything. I've already talked to my wife about this and her opinion is that I am essentially afraid to succeed or afraid to push myself. I can think of about a million different reasons why this will never work, and I feel like if I'm not sold out to this idea then ultimately I will let it fail, whether consciously or subconsciously. So if you have made it this far any ideas? Tips? Gut reactions? Advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 May 2018 06:33 AM PDT Hi all, I have a bistro and am currently using ikentoo to manage my inventory and ordering systems however they charge a monthly fee and a per device fee. I'd love to have multiple devices (perhaps even on phones) to place orders however the additional device fees are ridiculously high. Any recommendations on other systems? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How to build an online platform Posted: 05 May 2018 08:33 AM PDT So I want to build an online site that works as a platform, something similar to what Shopify offers. So the project will be an online shop where customers can buy products as usual. But aside from that, I want to offer the possibility to people to put their own products on site and made them available for future customers. Something similar to what second-hand online stores offer(eg. Ebay). The differece is that i'm focusing on one niche and on specific customers. So my question is, should I build it using online tools such as Wordpress or I should start form 0 and hire a developer, and if so, what would be the prices? Also, if anyone is interested to collaborate, PM me! Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 05 May 2018 09:25 AM PDT Not usual niche, project that I sawso far, but I have decided last year to start writing about books that I was reading. I was looking to made some side income, but it was difficult to scale the blog. I know my options for advertising, but the problem is the cost of advertising and ROI. Since I'm mostly promoting cheap books, using AdWords, Facebook Ads it's really expensive. I'm looking for some advices and tips on how to gain some traffic and also if anything need to be improved on site also. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 May 2018 09:03 AM PDT Hi there, I started working for a small business and we are having some major inventory issues. The inventory counts are always wrong in the system and they always have to delay projects because we don't have the item in stock. We are currently using Quickbooks but most of the staff hate it. I'm not sure if it's a lack of knowledge or what but I was curious ... What inventory software or methods are you using? We have a wide variety of small items, possibly over 2000 different parts. Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Non-profit wanting to be able to auto-bill without liability of holding credit card info Posted: 05 May 2018 08:37 AM PDT I have a friend that runs a non-profit that provides counseling. Some clients have requested that there be a way that their credit card could just get billed automatically after each session ('pull' payment rather than 'push'). I found this site that lists a few options. Does anyone have any input on what would be the best choice? Obviously, it would be very easy to just write down the credit card number and charge it each session, but they're not comfortable with holding people's credit card numbers. And counseling sessions aren't always at regular intervals, so the recurring payment couldn't be truly automatic. The non-profit would need to 'pull' after each session. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 05 May 2018 03:25 AM PDT Hello all, I am a researcher in a Psychology department in the UK (Liverpool). I have been trying to promote to small businesses a piece of research focused around personality and a concept called social capital (how invested people feel towards an organisation they belong to). I have managed to collect data from 150 plus individuals but this source is drying up and have tried to promote the study to forums. I have explained that I can also collect other information from employees for business owners to better understand how supported their staff feel and how satisfied they are but this approach isn't working. The mods here suggested that I could ask advice from you all on how best to recruit SME's to ask their staff to take part. For further information I have stated the following when communicating previously: 1. The study has passed ethics and the research data will not be used for any other purpose 2. I will work with SME's owners on developing measures that can support their company. Thanks for any advice in advance, Julienne [link] [comments]  |
| Possible to start a brick and motar business part time? (ie while still working a full time job) Posted: 04 May 2018 11:59 PM PDT I'm sub-ed both here and on r/entrepreneur, and it seems like the consensus there is that you should only quit your day job when your product has traction, is making a profit, etc. However, I'm keenly aware that most of the people there are doing online businesses and so this makes sense. I'm planning to start a fitness studio (think spin classes), but I'm on contract with my current job until the end of this year. Current plan is to wait till I'm unemployed to get the "major" stuff rolling (eg signing a lease, employing people), while in the mean time I'm working on the business plan, market research, planning, etc. But also wondering if I could either start the major stuff earlier while I'm still drawing salary, or alternatively extending my contract even as I get the shop running. Would like to know if anyone has tried running your own b&m while holding another full time job. How did it work out? Or any other experience to share would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

| Posted: 04 May 2018 08:55 PM PDT For example, companies like Sears, Apple, Google, FedEx, don't have any descriptive terms about their business. Can I just put in the full name into Nuans? [link] [comments]  |
