Can anyone suggest a good reliable company, that won't charge me a startup fee, or at least has low startup fees. Some of the ones I have seen are ridiculous! No extra fees either would be nice.

Thanks!

I have a wireless phone business. I have 9 years of customer service skills. I have this skill in which I use everytime a customer walks in the door. The problem is not that much foot traffic. I do 1000 fliers once a week - around the neighbors. Is there something I can do besides from getting a citation from the city for putting out signages & radio advertisement? Something cost effective?

I have a small Internet business. Due to expansion, I decide to hire an assistant. Luckily, I found a very qualified candidate. The only problem is, when I asked 'why do you want to work here and what do you want to do 2 years from now?' Her answer is, I want to have the same business as you do. This makes me worry. I definitely do not want this employee to learn everything in 2 years, take all my resouces and then become my competitors. Although I can ask her to sign a contract for confidentiality and non-competition, I doubt whether that would work at all. I've heard stories like this from many other small business owners, where their employees left, stole clients list, open a business under whoever's name it is but is actually in control. What do you think? Will you hire someone who can probably make your life easier now, but then leave and took away all of the skills and knowledge and become a threat? Anything I can do?

My husband and I plan on starting a small business in our small town. We plan on offering hoagies/sandwiches, pizza, salads (such as potato and macaroni), chips, soda and newspapers. Our last name is Burger so I thought that might be catchy, but we won't be offering burgers! I'd like a catchy name. Any ideas?

I have recently been communicating in some depth with someone that has approached me, offering their marketing expertise and a partnership.

I've only recently gone into business for myself and am slowly, surely, finding the kind of work that satisfies my creative streak.

The person in question comes across as incredibly intelligent - has asked very relevant questions and appears to meet all the important criteria.

However, today after very lengthy and brain busting communications, they say this in their email to me...

[Quote:]
"Also please note that for whatever arrangement you and I make, whether it be a commission or mark up or whatever I will not be able to provide you with any invoicing on my end." [End]

They offered to, communicate and set up the deal with prospective clients - but I have to invoice the client and then pay the person who wants the partnership. Without invoicing them? I'm confused.

I am a small business just starting out and am interested in finding a good accountant in Brooklyn,NY. I am looking for someone who knows the rules well enough to advise me how to maximize my deductions while still keeping it all legal. Most accountants I have met are either not very knowledgeable (I feel like I knew more then them) or are so concervative that they choose to be extra cautious even though law would allow more flexibility.
