| Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:34 PM PDT I'm in the process of opening a small bakery. The area doesn't necessarily feel unsafe but is on the "less nice" side of town. I was in NY recently and noticed a few shops did not accept cash. My fear is probably escalated from binge-listening true crime podcasts but regardless, this sounds appealing! Employees can't pocket cash and there wouldn't be anything to rob. Any opinions on this? I'm required to pay 2% food tax to the state and square takes 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction. Just wondering if it's really that big of a deal. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Another, hopefully more specific D&B/DUNS# question Posted: 03 Oct 2019 12:30 PM PDT I am aware of the DUNS' practices, I have gotten and evaded their cold call attempts. I do have the free number. I work with industrial clients, international company's and their factories. I do have a local government account open as well. Not having DUNS has never hurt me with getting jobs. I do want to build my business credit, not depend on mine or my partner's personal credit so much, and i need to open a line of credit here soon. If it is pay to play, should I pay? Does that 900 bucks turn into easier access to cash flow solutions? More just background info on me, feel free to skip: My business is service based: maintenance and construction. Just over a year old. Just me and my partner. Work keeps coming. Right now I am making net 45 and net 90 work with nothing, just toughing it out. I have one company credit card. We have the connections, and the opportunity to get some bigger jobs. I need cash flow solutions, I need to pay guys every week, not in 90 days. All this to say, my biggest goal is to solve cash flow problems and if paying for a DUNS number does that, then maybe i should do it? Edit: To clarify those net terms are standard, you get the occasional net 30 but for the big dog factories you can expect net 45 or net 60. Net 75 and 90 are more rare but more common than net 30. You can get them to issue a PO on net 30 but AP in Germany doesn't know about that agreement so they pay net 60 anyways. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Oct 2019 01:18 AM PDT I heard on reddit that had previous workers opening their own businesses and stealing critical b2b customers. Potentially this can be stolen contracted engineering work. Is it best to do it like the military does it 'know only what you need to know'? To divide up the work to multiple people, so they can't steal it, and for workers inhouse that won't know how everything works so they are less likely to want to start their own competing business?

| Posted: 03 Oct 2019 10:36 AM PDT I was always against debt. Now I have a debt situation I bought a business cash ($60,000) inventory and supplies. It is seasonal so I will not make money until spring. I rented a retail store and I am doing the buildout now. I have a $8000 personal loan and $5000 total on credit cards. I am done with the build out and have money for rent until spring. I have a semi seasonal day job and make about 90k at that. The business I bought is busy in the summer and my semi seasonal job is dead in the summer. So they are opposite so it should work out great. But now I have this debt. I can balance transfer no fee and interest free for one year the credit card debt and work on paying it down in that year ($5000) My personal loan is 24 months and I am paying that down ($8000) In spring I am going to sell my truck that will be worth 20k at that point and buy something for 10k to help out. I have a $2500 mortgage so that is like Upper 30k of my pre tax income so that is a decent amount. But I am pretty good at not spending money on unnecessary things. I have a personal Guarantee on $48k of rent that expires once I hit the 48k [link] [comments]  | ||
| Question regarding chargebacks Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:11 PM PDT My shop is 7 years old, and we have never had a chargeback. We offer classes, and the cancellation policy is a weeks' notice (to protect our instructors' income - if everyone were to cancel just before a class, that would suck). We had a customer who signed up for a class on Tuesday, and then tried to cancel it today (Thursday). The class is tomorrow. She initially said that she got her days confused and so wanted a refund. We aren't allowing a refund, as per our policy, which is in the description of the class that she registered for online. She is now threatening to reverse charges with her credit card company. Is there anything I can do about this? Will the card company ask for my side? The class she registered for (at 3:52 am) clearly stated the day, date, time, and cancellation policy in the description. She also "will never shop there again", which TBH is fine with me. She's been nasty on email today. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Response from small chain store Posted: 03 Oct 2019 08:40 PM PDT I've been reaching out to small chain stores in hopes I could get my products into a brick and mortar. Today I received my first response asking for more information about my "program". All they have been provided so far is a link to my website where they could see products and retail prices. What are they looking for? How do I proceed? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best online CC payment processor - fees only Posted: 03 Oct 2019 10:20 AM PDT I work for a company in finance, and we're looking to make it easier for our clients to pay the initial fees via card. Most of the processors I'm finding talk up their POS equipment, gateways, and mobile processing. We don't have any inventory and the payment most likely would happen over the internet, possibly though our website or preferably in a peer to peer like transaction (think Venmo but to our business). What we really need is something, like PayPal but better than the 2.9% + $0.30 fees. Edit - based on when in the sale cycle that we charge the fee, charge backs are not something that would ever/frequently happen. Currently our ticket sizes are from $500 to $2,000, and we would probably process anywhere from 5 to 20 tickets a month. Any insight welcome [link] [comments]  | ||
| Do I really need to pay wix for my email? Posted: 03 Oct 2019 08:01 PM PDT I created a website with Wix for my LLC. I currently have a Gmail account for my email address, but I want it to be the same as my website and look more official. But Wix wants to charge $6/month. While that's not an incredible amount of money, with as much as I've already paid Wix for the domain and the website, shouldn't there be some other way to do this than pay them more money?

| What recurring expenses does your business pay? Posted: 03 Oct 2019 07:01 PM PDT Hey guys, I was wondering what kinds of products/services you all use that have a recurring cost (phone lines, accounting software, etc.)? Obviously, there are monthly payments if leasing and payments for utilities, but what are some others? If this gets a few replies, I will edit this post with an ongoing list if anyone else is interested starting tomorrow. Thanks for any help! :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Question about DBA / Assumed Name for LLC Posted: 03 Oct 2019 06:57 PM PDT I'm not sure if this is the place to post this question but wanted to see if anyone has any advice or has had this question before. I just opened an LLC in Minnesota. For this example, Jane Doe is my legal first and last name. So my LLC is registered as Jane Doe Design LLC. If my business website is janedoe.com and my etsy shop is named Jane Doe Design, do you think I need to file for a DBA for Jane Doe (my legal name) and/or Jane Doe Design? Please redirect me to another sub if you think there is one more appropriate. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Business Phone recommendations Posted: 03 Oct 2019 01:30 PM PDT I work at a powertool repair shop and I'm trying to bring their whole system up to this century, they're still using standard land lines. I'm pretty technologically inclined but I'm having a hard time picking out an appropriate system I'm looking for suggestions as far as equipment goes and services. we are currently under Spectrum service. we have no voicemail or any other modern services except for having 4 lines. preferably we'd like to keep the same number since we tag every tool with our information [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best way or place to sell old shelves? Posted: 03 Oct 2019 05:13 PM PDT The 99 cent store I work at is closing soon. They have strong shelves that they place their mechsmdose on. The shelves are 20 year old. Any place that would take them ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Point of sales service recommendations Posted: 03 Oct 2019 05:11 PM PDT Hey I currently run a small antique/gift shop in Canada with a lot of small items. I'm looking to expand into online sale and need to build a catalogue of items in store and online. I was looking at shopify however it requires me to inventory each item individually then find that item to sell. For example I have necklaces that range in price from $1 to $10000. For the $1 necklace I would like to make a quick sale by entering $1 then selecting the department jewelry. Then have the higher priced items actually inventoried so I don't need to have millions of items to sort through. Any suggestions other then square or shopify? Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Oct 2019 05:08 PM PDT Not sure if this can go here, I want to start a tabletop café in my area once I graduate college. Its still a couple years off, but I was wondering if there was any advice for me to start preparing? Also, if anyone new about any apps or websites that could help me design a layout would also be awesome. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Oct 2019 04:30 PM PDT I am thinking about starting a landscaping business. Mostly just cutting lawns but will get into other things, wherever business leads me. Here is my dilemma though, I want to also help veterans out. If I could literally just drive from veterans home to home and now their lawns for free I would love to. Only I have a family to support. But I still want it to be done either free or at very reduced cost to them. Ideally I would like other customers to pay for it, either directly or indirectly. Anybody have any ideas how to mend these two together? Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| To Avoid A Personal Loan or Not Posted: 03 Oct 2019 04:15 PM PDT Short version, I'm currently a teacher who isn't the happiest with the profession. So many rules we have to abide by, administration doesn't really help, they just blame us for things that are out of our control; such as students not wanting to work, constantly ditching and test scores that are low. We get students from feeder schools who are at reading levels of 3rd graders as 6th graders, but they expect the students to score above standard in two to three months. Anyways, I've always wanted to eventually open a small business, and it just so happens that the owner of a local place in my hometown is closing its doors. The owner recently had a second heart attack, and his family is forcing him to close his business and take it easy for the rest of his life. One of my close friends runs everything. He handles the books, sees what comes in, knows how much monthly costs are (Food, electricity, wages, etc), and says they're profit is about 1500 a week. He says the biggest issue is that the business doesn't work community events. They've had city council members personally reach out to participate in city functions, or local business and families that ask for catering party's or events, and they don't do them because the owner doesn't want to work weekends. So much potential being wasted with no advertising. My question is pretty simple. Should I consider getting a personal loan to buy the business? I have about 5000 that I can use, and will need to finance the remaining 45000. Or should I just stay clear away from it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How many times can you put money into a C-Corp? Posted: 03 Oct 2019 03:23 PM PDT I am starting the process to form a C-Corp with the ROBS program (using previous employer 401k to help fund). I will be using that 401k roll-over money and some of my personal money. If I find myself needing _more_ money down the road, like 3 months in or something, then can I put in more of my personal money? Or does all the funding money have to mainly be there in the beginning? I assume money can be put in later, but not sure what all the rules/process is around that. Any help would rock; thanks!

| How this young woman opened a restaurant alone and made it Posted: 03 Oct 2019 06:49 PM PDT Restaurant/cafe is on of the most popular business/startup types. If you want to open a restaurant in Europe, specifically western Europe. You might get some practical wisdom from this. Few years ago Anne got into healthy lifestyle. There was one issue, there was no healthy restaurant options in Enschede, The Netherlands. So she decided to open one, alone. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Oct 2019 02:41 PM PDT I'm looking into some options to lease a small warehouse for some extra space for growing and packing produce. I've found some really nice options for when we expand but we want to start a little smaller I think, around 1000sqft, industrial warehouse with garage door and water/electricity. Not so much additional offices or showroom area. Only other requirement would be a bathroom. Any ideas on where to look? In the San Antonio area, but mainly looking for methods to search rather than specific local places. Tried loopnet.com so far and found a larger one i really like but hoping to be under 1000$ a month or so to trial the business while we build up and more short term lease. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Can my wife buy new phone as business expense? Posted: 03 Oct 2019 04:50 AM PDT My wife has a small business that she does full time from the house. She set up an LLC and makes about $30K per year, she's the only employee. We don't write off a lot of stuff like the house, or her car, or Verizon bill. She does write off any business expense for her office supplies, business mailbox, LLC or a client lunches when those occur. She needs to get a new iPhone and I told her she should buy it with her business credit card since it's her only phone for business...the thing is, she also uses it for personal stuff too. If she bought the phone with her business credit card, would we be able to write it off come tax season as a business expense? Even if she uses it for business and personal use? Like I said earlier, we don't write off any portion of the house, her car (since she rarely drives it for business) or the phone bill since we're a part of a larger family plan and all the other lines are personal phones. I always like the follow the rules, so we don't want to be dishonest writing off business expenses and get in trouble...but I feel like we could write it off since it would be used for business.
