Big Picture Approach to Financing Growth

khmarks — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:39:18 GMT

Finding the funds to grow a company or work through a difficult time is always challenging. The activities that CEOs and CFOs must undertake are the same regardless of whether the company is growing and self financing, raising capital or thinking about selling. In the end, value creation is all about the amount of future cash flow the company can generate.

Some of the common questions that arise in driving the funding raising process are:

How much capital?
When do I need it?
Who should I get it from?
How much should it cost?
How much debt and how much equity?
Should I personally guarantee the company's debts? If so, how much?

The answer to all of these questions is surfaced by following a process that begins with end in mind, and then systematically works to narrow the likely and feasible alternatives.

Step one involves understanding the current and historical state of the business and how it got where it is. This is coupled with a clear articulation of the objectives of the shareholders and a defined go-forward strategy. Then forecast the likely scenarios and compare proforma company performance to competitive or industry benchmarks for realism. You should be able to assess the likely use of new funds and the timing of when they are required after several iterations. A nice byproduct of the process is an estimate of the value of the business and how it is likely to change over the forecast period.

Armed with this information, you can then begin to determine the go-forward capital structure and target funding sources. Test the market to see if you can really get the capital desired and drive the process in a competitive environment to negotiate and close the deal.

While this may sound easy, it takes time to prepare and execute... so being proactive is critical if you can (sometimes that is hard in a crisis). Getting the right team of players to partner with you and your management team is critical to drive the process and minimize distractions to operations.

Hiring a Maid Tips

LindaC52 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:10:26 GMT

With the hectic lifestyle most people have and both partners
working, a lot of people find they don't have much time left for
domestic maintenance. Before you check out the Web or call up somewhere
to take on a maid, there are a few essential questions to ask, and
there is also some really important information that you should
carefully consider.You might find a maid from a service, in
which case the maid will be an employee of the service company. The
advantages are that the maid service will be responsible for any
employment taxes, carrying worker's compensation, and should have
bonded and insured the maid. (Make sure the maid is bonded against your
losses and not just the maid company's losses.) The company should also
have insurance in case the maid is injured while at your home. You
should ask for copies of all current polices, according to Scottsdale house cleaning (http://findmaidservices.com/providers-Scottsdale-AZ.html). However, when you employ
someone, federal law dictates that you must pay social security and
other specific taxes.

Inquire about what screening and background
checks the maid company performs on employees. Ask if the maids are
employees or subcontractors of the maid service. A maid service using
subcontractors can be more risky. These people are often not required
to report to work any particular time, might not have the training
employees have, and insurance liability can be sketchy.

Get
references from the maid service. Call each reference and ask if they
have had any complaints and if they recommend the service. Inquire as
to whether or not they are still using the service. If not, ask why.

Look
into whether the company has any sort of guarantee with respect to
quality. Do the maids have supervisors and if so what are they
responsible for? Request information from the company on whether they
provide any assurances, and what their current complaint process is.

Will the company be using their equipment or yours? This includes vacuums, mops, buckets, sponges, squeegees and so on.

Get a complete description of what services are included such as:

*emptying trash

*window cleaning

*dishes

*bathroom

*wood floors

*wood polishing

*furniture dusting

*blind cleaning

*light fixture dusting

You
also need to consider who will be supplying the cleaning products. If
you are supplying the products make a list and be sure you have them in
stock when your maid arrives. If the service will be supplying the
cleaning products, find out what they use and if the products are safe
for people and pets. Find out if the products disinfect pathogens.

There
are green cleaning products available. Check the ingredients and
effectiveness of each one. Some are only diluted versions of the
originals while others are bio based. These are made up of natural
bacteria and enzymes and considered non-pathogenetic natural substances
that can clean safely.

If you have specifically agreed to allow
the cleaning company to supply the cleaning products, ask for samples
and apply very small volumes of each one. People have different tastes
and smells and you do not want to come home to a house with a smell
that drives you out.

It's a good idea to be home the first time
your maid cleans if possible. There may be some questions you'll need
to answer, and at the same time you can watch them go through their
tasks.

With a little planning and these tips you should be able
to come home to a clean house and relax. If you have not had a maid
service before, you will probably find you never want to live without
it again.

A Good Resume or A Good Blog?

iyazam — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:06:16 GMT

I have been getting many questions lately from individuals looking for a job and are seeking advice as to what should they focus on when looking for a job or what can they do to impress an employer.

Its interesting to see the two types of job seekers:

1) The resume job seeker

2) The blogger job seeker

The resume job seeker is someone who hopes to get a job based on a good looking resume and of course past experience.

The blogger job seeker is someone who will share his or her knowledge in order to pre-sell themselves to a potential employer.

Lets hear it - whats better in today's economy: a good resume or a good blog?
