Small Business - February 2007

I just got a job at a cleaning company as a bookkeeper but they have some problems collecting money. Therefore creating other problems like paying the bills. What are some ways that we could go about collecting money. Right now the customers are only called once per week. Should we be calling everyday? Is there an etiquette to this?

I'm not interested in just quilting fabrics, but a variety for sewing of garments, crafts, etc. Also, notions, patterns and the like. There is nothing close by. Whenever I need fabric and notions I go 30 miles to Walmart (usually they don't have what I need!). The nearest large city is 2 hours away. Surely there are others in this area that feel the same as me and would welcome this type of business! Where do I start???

i have no clue when it comes to pay taxes. i don't want to do it by accountant, my business is simple such as cutting people grass.

"i don't have a license for self-employed" and this is Michigan state.

here is what i know so far, correct me or add things to it:

1st step: open bank account
2nd: use that bank account to buy all necessary tools and keep its reciepts.
3rd: ask customers to send you a check to that bank account? and keep all their check returns.
4th step: keep do all these steps above till 2008 until you file your Schedule SE tax form & schedule C form along with 1040 income form.
5th step . send all reciepts you have saved along with all these tax forms to IRS address?

anything more need to be done?

My husband owns a carpet cleaning cleaning business. He has been in business for over 20 years. I have a hard time convincing him to do some kind of advertising. He does not like debt, I can't blame him. But I feel that you need to go into some debt if you want to have your own business.
I have suggested hiring a flyer crew to put flyers out, but he does not want to worry about it and wants to do it himself, but I can't get him out of the house before 4:00 pm.
We have bills to pay. I offered to get a job, but he gets offensive and wants me to spend all my time with the business. I think about just getting one, but I had a job when I was 16 and 17. Somebody stole my ss card when I forgot my planner on the bus.
We have $30 left to our name, our account is $500 in the negitive. What should I do? I am not going to leave him. I think it is a stupid reason to leave.

I have a great opportunity right now to take m y business to the next level. I recently moved to a "sleeper community" in other words there is a lot of stuff coming and happening in the near future. I have been selling real estate for 7 years now under a broker but now that I have moved there is NO real estate brokerage in the area! There are about 3 or 4 agents who live in the area but like me they work from another office located miles away. If I could get together the $ to get started I would be in a great position to dominate the market NOW before the boom starts! And it is going to boom! My personal credit has taken a beating over the years as my husband has had some serious health issues. If I can get this going it could change all that pretty quickly but getting start up cash is difficult. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!
