Most small business begin with owner their own savings. Even banks would be unprepared to lend to someone who is unwilling to risl some of their own money. If the woner does not have enough savigns, they could:

Remortgage their house
Sell some personal possessions
Borrow from family and friends

Using personal savings gives the owner 100% control and 100% fo the profits. The downside is that, if the business fails, the owner could loose everything, both business and personal assests

For example, there will be 6 families living in the 2 hectre lot and also, if there is still land left, there will be a golf course. Would that be a good place? Would that place be big enough for the 6 families all related with each other to live in comfortably?

I work in a restaurant that has a tip share program. Based on total sales the wait staff tips out the back and the front of the house i.e. the food runner, hostesses and in my case...the cook. My question is should the owner of the restaurant be taxing the tip share before it becomes a "whole" part of my declared income? I guess my concern is that if I'm taxed immediately on that nights tip share, say $25, isn't that going to lead to less taxes than if I'm taxed on say, $150 tipshare for the week or even worse on my total bi-weekly salary+ the tipshare earned withen the pay period (which is the case with me)? Confusing! Is anyone up to the challenge?

As part of my purchase contract I have spent $400 for a thorough home inspection of a duplex. Now that we learned of the termite infestation and wood rot, you'd think i'm out of there, but I'm still interested in the property IF, IF I can be sure to ELIMINATE the TERMITES & determine the extent of damage, and get ALL the rot taken care of at the SELLERS EXPENSE. How do I proceed?

Am I expecting too much? The seller seems to be prepared to correct the problems -- What's he best approach since we don't really know yet the extent of the damage.

will professional termite treatment really eliminate ALL termites currently infecting building, and keep new from attacking for a particular period of time?

It seems like at my work it is completely acceptable to come in late.

Today, two people called in sick and two people including a fellow manager came in late. The same manager has shown up more than 4 hours latei n hte past. The other person comes in late so much that it's joked about.

Why is this so acceptable? Why can't they show up on time and why doesn't the store manager do anything about it?
