I have been a successful restaurant owner for 26 years. I have seen many people start and fail in this business the entire time. I know exactly what they have done wrong and could have saved them tons of money. I believe a consulting firm for the independent operator would be a good business, but do not know how to get clients, or what to charge. Advice would be appreciated.

Treat growing money like planting a tree, not like launching a rocket. Be careful in what you are told here. Thanks.

I know I am responsible to pay that but what do I need to do? Do I call the bank and request a payoff or do I make the monthly payments on that loan? Can I do this if the first is in the buyers name?

I know what options are and how they work for an invester. What I do not understand is why they are part of a company's portfolio. Because it is listed, it must be important information.
I also have found some companies without any options listed.

I recieved 2 checks this period, one was my regular salary paycheck, and another was a slightly higher bonus check.

On the paycheck the federal government took out 6%, and the state took out 1%. On the bonus check the government took out 25% and the state took out 6%!! I was so dissapointed to see this bonus check, which was supposed to be a reward nearly cut in half! Why was the tax percentage on the bonus check so much higher than my regular paycheck?

I work for a global corporation- and would like to apply for a job within the company in another country. This job is in a different dept. The procedure is to send our CVs to the local HR manager.
If I do not tell my boss that I am applying for another position- is the HR manager oblicated to tell him? Or should I tell my boss that I am applying for the job? (Do not want to incase- I do not get the job and then get fired.) Or is it 'safer' to apply for jobs in another company?

I'm going to have to pay my own taxes since I'm a 1099 contract employee. Is gas mileage reimbursement taxable since I'm already being paid for it, or would I just tax my regular hourly rate?

Trading Standard Officers have ordered the urgent recall of a defective product found to be faulty and dangerous.

Over the Christmas and New Year period, tests proved the components in the product called "Chelsea FC" would fall apart when placed under the smallest amount of pressure.

Consumers first experienced problems last year, when it was noted the product failed to work properly in Europe. Complaints were made about it malfunctioning and then emitting a continuous whining noise - usually in Portuguese.

At the time the complaints were ignored. But when the product started falling apart in Britain over Christmas, the Trading Standards Authority took action.

A spokesman warned: "We particularly want to stress to parents that, with Chelsea FC, there is a genuine risk of choking that may end in tears come May."

Despite assurances from the company behind the product that action was taken to correct the faulty parts, including abandoning the use of the highly unpredictable and sub-standard component "Robert Huth" malfunctions have continued.

Consumers have been urged to check the small print carefully for the words "this product may contain traces of Shevchenko". If that is the case buyers of the product are urged to put it back in its box and return immediately.

"Shevchenko" has been known to cause a severe allergic reaction in many consumers, causing them to shout involuntarily "You useless Ukrainian t**t and "For f*** sake bring back Carlton Cole."
