    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Why keep work for someone else and commuting to an office daily, when you can establish you very own home-based business, right in the comfort of your home? This would give you flexible hours for working, lesser expense on traveling to and from work, and no <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/boss+breathing" rel="tag">boss breathing</a> down your neck everyday. <br /><br /> Imagine you are working as a sales employee for my Company,and<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quot" rel="tag">quot</a>;Ellfit Enterprisesandquot;. You works up to the wee hours of the morning, so you can sell advertisement space, worth at least a million for the smallest size. When the sale goes through, you get $20 worth of commission. What you are actually doing, is enriching my Company andquot;Ellfit Enterprisesandquot; through your efforts, but you only get your base pay, plus the $20 commission---that's all you get for the millions of dollars you brought into my Company, andquot;Ellfit Enterprisesandquot; coffers. <br /><br /> Now, if you decide to establish a home-based business, similar to what you are doing now for my Company, andquot;Ellfit Enterprises,andquot; you get your old clients and build up your mailing list, you will have more money to take home each month, than if you remain working for my Company, andquot;Ellfit Enterprisesandquot;. <br /><br /> If you are unsure about your business prospects, but are ready to start a home-based business, you can do it on a part time basis. This means you will start your home-based <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+venture" rel="tag">business venture</a>, but still hold your eight to five job for financial security, until such time you are confident enough about your business venture. <br /><br /> While a home-based business will not <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/necessarily" rel="tag">necessarily</a> make you a millionaire over-night , ( there is nothing wrong if it happens), it has numerous benefits, like <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/flexible+work+hours" rel="tag">flexible work hours</a>, no boss <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breathing+down+your+neck" rel="tag">breathing down your neck</a> every day, savings on fuel and time going to and from the office, and most of all, you get an income that will be dependant on your creativity, ingenuity and industriousness. If you done it for my business andquot;Ellfit Enterprisesandquot;, you can do it for yourself... <br /><br /> The trend today is a home-based business, using the Internet. There are people who have become very successful in their Internet home-based business. But if your home-based business is not built around your hobbies, skills, interests and experience, it may be difficult to achieve the level of success you are seeking. <br /><br /> It is very easy to say that you want to start a home-based business, but deciding on the kind of home-based business you will have, is the most difficult part. First thing, you must be realistic and take stock of what you have available in terms of your skills, interests and experiences. If you have a hobby that can be turned into a home-based business venture, then that is better. It will mean lesser capital and effort, since you already have the expertise. Get into a home based-business that you will enjoy doing. <br /><br /> There are many hobbies that can be turned into a home-based business. Like baking, gardening, cross stitching, and catering etc.etc. If you are a licensed professional, you can offer your services as a lawyer, doctor or designer. If you do not like selling, you can try training. And there are  many other areas of interest, which you can turn into a home-based business.  <bio>Fitzgerald Elliott.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whether you have children in the home, or you have simply learned to be a little careful about your health, Tristar Enterprises is one of the companies out there that is keenly interested in helping you keep the members of your household as healthy as you can. Tristar Enterprises sells a wide range of products that can help you keep your household illness-free, and you'll find that there are plenty of people who are interested in selling for them. There are a few things you should consider when you are thinking about this opportunity.<br><br>Tristar Enterprises sells a variety of products, from air <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/filtration+devices" rel="tag">filtration devices</a> to vacuum cleaners. All of these devices are designed to keep your home area looking and feeling a lot more clean. People who have had problems with allergies and asthma have complimented this company in its efforts to provide a better living environment. If you have encountered this company in the past, ask yourself what impression you have carried away from it. If it treated you well as a consumer, it will also treat you well as marketer.<br><br>The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+page" rel="tag">business page</a> of Tristar Enterprises is unfortunately a bit obscure. There are careers in the offering and they do seem to involve direct sales, but after that, there is only a note to contact the company itself. The page in question refers to an opportunity to learn and grow at the same time that you are watching your career with them build up. A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mentoring+program" rel="tag">mentoring program</a>, or one where you have a sponsor who oversees your work might present here.<br><br>I was reading a complaint on the web where one lady <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/who+is+an+accountant" rel="tag">who is an accountant</a> by trade made an appointment with one of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sales+reps" rel="tag">sales reps</a>. In short, the sales rep was very pushy and when she said no about buying the product today, he came up with financing terms. She claims even these were wrong. However I also read from another person who said the rep was as friendly as can be, and forthright, and they love their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tristar+vacuum+cleaner" rel="tag">Tristar Vacuum cleaner</a>. So by doing extra on-line research we definitely got both sides of the coin.<br><br>Interestingly enough, the history of Tristar Enterprises goes back more than seventy years, when the company was still known as Interstate Engineering Corporation. At the time, the designed aircraft for the government. They then turned their attention to the design of home cleaning and vacuums and began working towards a better home environment. <br><br>Tristar Enterprises seems to be a company that has definitely lasted, putting it far ahead of the younger corporations that seem to spring up over night. In terms of reliability, this is a very important thing, but it is important to move ahead as well. Many people feel that this company is doing its best to stay on the forefront of the technology that they have developed.<br><br>If you have developed an interest in Tristar Enterprises, you will need to contact them for more information with regards to their business opportunity. They are a professional business and in terms of products, they definitely have one that appeals to a wide cross-genre of people.<bio>You can read our Unbiased, expert review of <a href="http://www.MLMreviewKings.com/tristarenterprises.html">Tristar Enterprises</a> from Brian Garvin and Jeff West at <a href="http://www.MLMreviewKings.com">MLM Review Kings</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/challenges" rel="tag">challenges</a> facing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+internet" rel="tag">home Internet</a> enterprises in today's global market, as they adapt to changes in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/global+business+environment" rel="tag">global business environment</a> and attempt to satisfy local market demands at the same time. This problem is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exacerbated" rel="tag">exacerbated</a> by the fact that the barriers to entry to some of the countries marketplaces that existed in the past are now becoming non-existent. It is no wonder that many home <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/internet+enterprise" rel="tag">Internet enterprise</a> owners are struggling to learn the new rules, but you can look at these challenges as opportunities instead of problems. <br /><br /> For example, it is now possible to export your products to foreign countries without having to deal with the trade restrictions that were present previously. In addition, you could even set up a manufacturing facility in another country without opposition. This shows the free movement of goods and services for today's global home Internet enterprise. It is the smart modern business owner who puts emphasis on developing his or her brands. In line with this, you can see that brand packaging, graphics, and the content of a brand should remain the same throughout the world. (Text in different languages aside) The message must be the same, so if the brand is promoting wellness in North America then the home Internet enterprise owner will promote a similar concept in Europe. They should not stray from their core identity. Their advertising efforts should have some similarity, even though it will have to be changed to accommodate local preferences. <br /><br /> It becomes more difficult if the home Internet enterprise deals with a physical product rather than an informational one. Offering a global product that is consistent can be quite hard because of the sourcing of the raw materials and their pricing. At times, the exact same product will cost more in one country than it does in another, because of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/currency+fluctuations" rel="tag">currency fluctuations</a> and the differences in local living conditions. The challenge is keeping the product consistent both in quality and in price in these vastly different areas. This quality problem can be eliminated by centralizing your home Internet enterprises manufacturing, but there is little that can be done about global price variances. <br /><br /> It is important for modern home Internet enterprises to communicate with their partners from foreign countries. Every problem or success in one country should be reported everywhere, because this can affect the profitability of the entire enterprise. E-mail, video conferencing, and even telephone calls can be used to accomplish this goal. These tools will enable the owner to manage the whole Internet enterprise effectively from home. <br /><br /> The climate of today's global business environment dictates that it is important to have innovative products and services to stay ahead of the competition. Home Internet enterprises can improve their operations by observing the best practices employed in other countries and using them universally. Considering the perspectives of the maximum number of associates from around the globe will keep the companies thinking fresh, not stagnant, and will do the most to ensure the enterprises long term profitability.   <bio>To find the best home based business ideas and opportunities so you can make money online visit: <a href="http://www.Fast-EasyMoneyOnline.com" >http://www.Fast-EasyMoneyOnline.com</a> Sal Scaramuzzino; Restaurant Owner and Avid Internet Marketer  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Summary: The tale told by one person who made the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rash+decision" rel="tag">rash decision</a> to leap into a new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/internet+home+business" rel="tag">Internet Home Business</a> as a complete Newbie. It highlights the struggles to survive the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/learning+curve" rel="tag">learning curve</a> and remain sane to hopefully, one day, make some money. <br /><br /> Having battled through the Newbie tag, I have reached a new phase of my burgeoning Home Business. My computer desktop is now crowded with e-books and my dining table, chairs, and couches are littered with printed books and tutorials of what, I don't know! <br /><br /> Do I need all this stuff? I don't know, that's why it's all still there, It may be very important, or not. Do I want it? Well, you never know. As you can clearly see, I have graduated from the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/newbie+status" rel="tag">Newbie status</a> to what I would call the frightening `<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/brain+freeze" rel="tag">Brain Freeze</a>' that's when you tell yourself; `it is far better not to know right now, because I'm too busy and confused to handle it anyway'. <br /><br /> This stage is a time when you are no longer sure which memberships you have, or need, or want. You are not even sure what most of them can do for you, or what they cost you, if anything. You just don't have the time or the will to find out. <br /><br /> I'm sure somewhere on my desk, amongst the hundreds of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/reminder+notes" rel="tag">reminder notes</a> I foolishly wrote to myself during the last couple of months, is at least one which will explain this chaos and gently guide me towards a simple resolution. I think this is a plan. I'll look for such a note just as soon as I can spare the time. <br /><br /> At this point, it would be fair to say that I have no idea if I have made any money. That is because, I have not yet had time to find out how to determine that and that is because I am either stressed out doing battle with Google to approve some ads, or, I'm bogged down learning the newest `big thing', or I am half way through writing an article for my website so I can finally have some free time to finish another installment on my Blog, etc. <br /><br /> Of course, I am also stressing about the lack of available seating in my home, in case I should receive unexpected visitors. That would be those people I used to know before establishing occupancy in Cyberspace. <br /><br /> If you are like me, you have been doing more studying in the last 6-8 weeks than you did during your entire time in high school and you are now forced to sacrifice your social life just to keep some sane working hours. <br /><br /> Who was it that said this will be soooo easy. Words like `everything is on automatic', `It can be done in less than an hour each day' `It doesn't require you to learn anything' `Even a child can do it' `It only takes 5 minutes' They are all lying, they have to, if they told the truth only extreme masochists and deranged computer nerds would ever take on an internet business. <br /><br /> Clearly, it's not automatic and yes, it's going to take a lot more than an hour a day and it most certainly will require you to learn a lot of new stuff about doing business online in general and creating your own home business in particular. But just because we have come to terms with that, it doesn't mean we should forgive these self proclaimed `experts'. <br /><br /> Of course it's not automatic and yes, it's going to take a lot more than an hour a day and it most certainly will require you to learn a lot of new stuff about doing business online in general and creating your own home business in particular. But just because you have come to terms with that, it doesn't mean you should excuse these self proclaimed `experts'. Frankly, there are times when you'll just want to pick up an e-book and hit somebody <br /><br /> Now, of course, I am waiting for phase three, I expect that will be about the time I get my home back to normal, my brain freeze thaws out and my friends are once again willing to talk to me. Just, finally, knowing what it is I am actually doing will be an amazing revelation in itself. <br /><br /> The only thing I am certain about, right now, is that sometime in the future, I will have a functioning, profitable Internet Home Business, whatever that is. You can check out my website at <a href="http://www.plotkin-enterprises.com" >http://www.plotkin-enterprises.com</a>, to see how I am doing. Meanwhile, I'll keep you posted.   <bio>You can check out my website at <a href="http://www.plotkin-enterprises.com" >http://www.plotkin-enterprises.com</a>, to see how I am doing.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Every aspiring individual who wants to become an entrepreneur begins his enterprise with a small business. The expansion of such a business requires immense efforts and innovative techniques so that the potential of such upcoming business is identified and accepted by the growing market even in the pressure of growing competition. The most important aspect for success is a neatly sorted, practical <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+plan" rel="tag">business plan</a>.<br><br>Reasons for failure of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/small+businesses" rel="tag">small businesses</a><br><br>- Poor <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marketing+management" rel="tag">marketing management</a> is considered as a strong reason along with the shortage of capital for the failure of small enterprises. Since the enterprises are new, they do not have enough idea, or experience of how to tackle the competitors or how to demand attention in the market. Also, since the funding is not sufficient, many business plans fail.<br><br>- Most of the entrepreneurs of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/small+business+plans" rel="tag">small business plans</a> have good ideas of planning, but their plans stick only to paper and are never implemented. This leads to decline in the business. Sometimes, these entrepreneurs have so many ideas, that they get confused in sorting techniques in a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/proper+manner" rel="tag">proper manner</a> and fail to recognize which kind of technique is to be used when so as to increase sales. So, even if they dream big, or aim high, their plans fall short.<br><br>To write a sensible business plan and to implement it efficiently is the most important requirement of small enterprises. To write a plan, it is necessary to identify the market needs and check one's own potential. It is important to take safe but essential risks. There is also a necessity to make research and their strengths as well as weaknesses. The plans and the strategies should be practical and must have valid reasons, because it is not enough to dream alone; the dream should also have a logical backup.<br><br>Use of the Internet<br><br>With <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/modern+technology" rel="tag">modern technology</a> and the Internet in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vogue" rel="tag">vogue</a>, it becomes simpler for the entrepreneurs to make quick surveys at the click of the mouse. Internet provides accurate and up to date information and statistics of growth. Also, the history and the reasons for the past success can be ascertained and some of this information can be used to prepare one's own plan. The funding of the business is the next obstacle for strategic implementation. The entrepreneurs can approach the state grants as well as investors who are ready to take risk with them.<br><br>The next important step is to put plans into action. The usual marketing mix technologies come to aid and it is with the help of these that small businesses grow. To keep a check on the growth or fall and profit or loss is also an important criterion to strategize the next business plans.<br><br>Thus small businesses have immense scope and potential for growth, provided the entrepreneurs realize what they want, set their goals, prepare and implement proper business plans. The small business associations (SBA) help these entrepreneurs in achieving what they want.<bio>James Copper is a writer for <a href="http://www.marketinglinx.com">http://www.marketinglinx.com</a></bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was always a very positive person. I took pride in having been successful in business and I took that position for granted. Then I retired. <br /><br /> From that moment on it was as if I had swallowed `<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stupid+pills" rel="tag">stupid pills</a>', I seemed to become less interesting to other people, as if I no longer had anything of value to say. After a while I started to believe them, I began to lose my confidence and even made some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/financial+decisions" rel="tag">financial decisions</a> I never would have made when I was in business. My income began to dwindle and I realized I was becoming insecure and depressed. <br /><br /> My salvation was my computer. It sat there, on my desk, neglected and forlorn, mocking me to get a life. I finally decided to get back online to look for something to do, first, to make money, but also to regain my confidence. I needed to remind myself that I could draw on a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/substantial+bank" rel="tag">substantial bank</a> of knowledge and business experience. <br /><br /> When, as a newbie, you search <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/google" rel="tag">Google</a> for any words connected with Home Business, Online marketing etc, the response is overwhelming. With so many choices and so much hype you quickly realize that to proceed is to walk in quicksand. How do you choose someone to trust? How do you pick out the genuine offers from the scams? And if and when you do, will there be anyone to back you up with support once you have paid the money? More than likely there won't be. <br /><br /> Like most people I was very cynical about the possibility of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/making+money+on+the+internet" rel="tag">making money on the Internet</a>. Reading a lot of the websites didn't help. Unrealistic promises don't impress online any more than they do offline. Despite knowing this, I read as many as I could find and even joined a couple to test the water. <br /><br /> I learned some very valuable things that all newbies would profit from. For example, there would not be half the websites on the net if you were to remove all the misleading, if not <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/outright+scam" rel="tag">outright scam</a> websites, run by people who are focussed only on recruiting for membership fees and offer you nothing in return but self serving hype and empty promises. I am sure many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/enthusiastic+beginner" rel="tag">enthusiastic beginner</a>s find themselves back in the real world with an overdrawn bank account or a maxed out credit card. <br /><br /> These pseudo sites purport to have systems that are `new' and `different', and can guarantee to make you a fortune. People unfamiliar with affiliate programs often have no idea that beneath the veneer lie a common link between most of them and what people are really paying for is a sales pitch with no purpose but to sign you up and get your money. Sure, some of them have a good story, they may even believe that they are going to help the buyer, but at the end of the day they have their own business to run and their priority is to move on to the next prospect. <br /><br /> I wonder if they realize that they leave hundreds; possibly thousands of disappointed and often, financially wounded victims behind. These people have been let down and hurt, but they have also been lost to the industry forever and they will no doubt perpetuate the common consensus that you can't make money on the Internet. Doesn't that mean everybody pays? <br /><br /> Perhaps it's time to `out' these websites. It would be a public service to list them and make the list available in as many places as you can find the scams. <br /><br /> As for myself, I was lucky, I found an honest, helpful trader and I'll be forever grateful for having decided to search just one more day for just the right business for me, because, you see, I was one of those ready to give up.   <bio>Kirsten is the owner of Plotkin Enterprises and writes on a number of subjects.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you are dealing with a situation in which you are trying to get you finances in order, you may be wondering what options are available to you, what steps you can take to bring a better sense of order to your finances. In this regard, you might want to consider obtaining a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/debt+consolidation+loan" rel="tag">debt consolidation loan</a> online. <br /><br /> There are, in fact, a number of significant benefits that can be realized through a debt consolidation loan online. For example, by obtaining a debt consolidation loan online you will be able to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/protect+your+privacy" rel="tag">protect your privacy</a> to a great deal. Many people avoid trying to obtain a debt consolidation loan in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/brick+and+mortar" rel="tag">brick and mortar</a> world out of fear that their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/friends+and+neighbors" rel="tag">friends and neighbors</a> will hear that they had to (or wanted to) obtain that type of financing. There are some misperceptions associated with a debt consolidation loan and not all of them are positive. <br /><br /> As mentioned a moment ago, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/protecting+your+privacy" rel="tag">protecting your privacy</a> is one of the true benefits of seeking and applying for a debt consolidation loan online. When all is said and done, you actually can apply for a debt consolidation loan online from the privacy, comfort and security of your own home. You don't have to go anywhere to obtain a debt consolidation loan online.<br /><br />Indeed, not a single person has to know that you even made application for a debt consolidation loan when you seek out and apply for a debt consolidation loan online. <br /><br /> Beyond the basics of not "being seen" making an application for a much needed loan to bring order to your finances, a reliable and reputable debt consolidation loan online lender has many structures in place to further protect your privacy when you are dealing with these lenders on the Net. This includes protecting you privacy from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/online+predators" rel="tag">online predators</a> that attempt to glom onto a person's personal and financial information. <br /><br /> Moreover, these debt consolidation loan online lenders have protocols that they do follow fairly rigidly when it comes to sharing information that they obtain from you with other business enterprises. In fact, these debt consolidation loan online lenders simply cannot provide your information to other business enterprises without your express permission. <br /><br /> In this day and age, you do not have to worry excessively about privacy issues when it comes to obtaining a debt consolidation loan online from a debt consolidation loan online lender. You really do have as much privacy protection from a debt consolidation loan online lender as you would with a lender doing business in the brick and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mortar+world" rel="tag">mortar world</a>.   <bio>Find out how getting a debt consolidation loan online can get your finances under control.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The goal of every <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+business+owner" rel="tag">home business owner</a> is growth. One of the main reasons that you decide to undertake the challenge of developing a home based business is to create a venture that can improve your life. As your enterprise begins to expand, you will have to make some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/difficult+decisions" rel="tag">difficult decisions</a>. One of those might be the need to establish a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/manufacturing+process" rel="tag">manufacturing process</a> where outsourcing could be a possibility. <br /><br /> Outsourcing business processes is getting very popular today. But did you know that you can also outsource a manufacturing process as well? Basically, you can ask another company to manufacture your product on your behalf. You may be wondering about the advantages of this choice since the goal is to manufacture your product without the help of another company. However, outsourcing part of your manufacturing process has several benefits that need to be considered. <br /><br /> For example, when your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/peak+season" rel="tag">peak season</a> arrives, it is inevitable that the demand for your product will increase. Should you buy new equipment and hire new workers to meet this demand? In the past, this might have been the solution. Today, outsourcing your production enables you to avoid paying the higher costs for meeting the demand of the market during this particular timeframe. <br /><br /> However, despite the advantages of outsourcing your manufacturing process, you should be aware of some of the risks that are involved. For example, you would not have the same control over the quality of the product that is being produced because you are not present during the manufacturing process. This is especially true if the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/outsourcing+company" rel="tag">outsourcing company</a> you hire is new or if it has never produced the kind of product you are asking them to manufacture for you. <br /><br /> You might observe that most of the companies that take advantage of outsourcing are usually the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/larger+companies" rel="tag">larger companies</a> instead of the small and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/medium+scale+enterprises" rel="tag">medium scale enterprises</a>. But in fact, outsourcing could be more advantageous for small and medium scale enterprises. This is because even though manufacturing outsourcing may cost a larger company more money per unit produced, outsourcing can enable small and medium enterprises the chance to sell more products at a profit. Instead of paying the costs for using your own production resources, this overhead can be absorbed by the business you outsource to. <br /><br /> Outsourcing the manufacturing process is also a good strategy for business start-ups that do not have the initial capital to build an entire factory by themselves. In the long run though, if your company is large enough to achieve economies of scale, it is recommended that you produce all your products yourself to maintain the quality standards that your company is known for. <br /><br /> Obviously, manufacturing the products yourself can produce more money because you eliminate the overhead for using the outsourcing company and derive all of the profits for your own company. Overall though, the outsourcing of your manufacturing process can be advantageous if your profit margin is more when you outsource the process. It is a complex and difficult choice that should be considered very carefully. <br /><br /> Any decision that is made to improve your business requires research, examination and caution. If your home business has developed to the point where outsourcing is a possibility, consider the disadvantages as well as the advantages. The choice you make could propel your home based business to a new level. <br /><br /> "When you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder."   <bio>John Fortner lives in Oregon and works from his home through his online pursuits.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The People's Republic of China offers a variety of tax breaks and financial incentives to encourage inbound investment. <br /><br /> National <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/government+incentives" rel="tag">government incentives</a> vary based on how much money you are investing and whether or not your project is located in one of China's special economic zones; local incentives vary by jurisdiction according to relative bargaining power. The tendency in recent years has been for China's central and western provinces, who have been starved of foreign investment in comparison with well-fed coastal cities like Shanghai and Beijing, to offer incentive packages that are considerably more generous than those offered to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/foreign+investors" rel="tag">foreign investors</a> 'back east'. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/national+government" rel="tag">national government</a> is now actively encouraging foreign investors to pour money into China's relatively undeveloped hinterlands in order to spread wealth more evenly throughout the country and stem the flow of economic migrants to the coast. <br /><br /> China's standard corporate tax rate is set at 30%. However, in certain locations the rate can decrease dramatically. Enterprises located in certain areas designated as "open to foreign investment" pay only 24%. The favored children among <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/overseas+investors" rel="tag">overseas investors</a>, however, are enterprises located in national-level economic and technical development zones, such as certain industrial parks like Suzhou Industrial Park (near Shanghai) and California Industrial City (in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/central+china" rel="tag">central China</a>). They enjoy a permanent corporate tax rate of only 15% - but even that rate only kicks in during the sixth profit-making year. The rate is zero for these enterprises during their first two profit-making years, and rises to only 7.5% for the following three years, before returning to 15% for the sixth year. Any enterprise classified by the P.R.C. government as a "Technologically Advanced Enterprise" or an "Export Oriented Enterprise" (an enterprise with an export value of at least 70% of its production value during any given year) enjoy a corporate tax rate of only 10% for their sixth through tenth profit-making years. <br /><br /> China offers further tax incentives for enterprises that reinvest their profits domestically, and these incentives operate in addition to rather than in replacement of the above tax incentives. In particular, enterprises that reinvest their profits to increase their own capital or to establish or invest in another foreign invested enterprise in China are eligible for a refund of 40% of the corporate taxes already paid on those reinvested profits. The refund rate rises to 100% if the enterprise in which profits are reinvested is classified as a Technologically Advanced Enterprise or Export Oriented Enterprise. This refund must be returned, however, if the reinvested finds are withdrawn within five years. <br /><br /> The foregoing description is not exhaustive - China offers various other investment incentives. That was the good news; the better news is that incentives are offered not only by the national government but also by provincial and local governments that compete fiercely with each other for a slice of China's lucrative foreign investment pie. But that's another article.   <bio>David A. Carnes is a California attorney currently working as a legal advisor for California Industrial City (Zhengzhou) Development Co., Ltd. in Zhengzhou, China.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Everybody dreams of becoming his or her own boss, but is it so easy to kiss your job goodbye? Yes, it is possible if you open a franchise business. Owning a franchise business opens limitless opportunities; you can become your own boss and lead a great lifestyle. <br /><br /> With all the resources available on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+opportunities" rel="tag">franchise opportunities</a> nowadays, locating your ideal franchise business has become much easier. There are plenty of websites that provide detailed information on owning a franchise business. These websites help potential <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+owners" rel="tag">franchise owners</a> find the best possible <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+information" rel="tag">franchise information</a> on business opportunities and franchises for sale. These <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+directories" rel="tag">franchise directories</a> are essential tools to help entrepreneurs find new business ideas for any new enterprises. Most of the more established franchise directories extensively cover the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+industry" rel="tag">franchise industry</a> sectors such as retail, business services, home improvement, food services, and senior care etc. <br /><br /> As there are a huge number of franchise opportunities available, how do you pick the right <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+opportunity" rel="tag">franchise opportunity</a> for you? It is important that your interests match your choice of franchise business. To start with, carefully take stock of what you really enjoy doing, what you want out of your business and what you want to achieve out of life. Write down a list of your interests, desires and passions. What kind of jobs have you held before or what past opportunities have you explored? After you have reflected on these questions, give some thought on the type of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/franchise+business+opportunities" rel="tag">franchise business opportunities</a> that appeal to you and that can help you realize your ambitions and goals. <br /><br /> Once you are committed to buying a franchise business, your next step will be to decide which service or product you want to invest in specifically. You should also investigate the scope and the details of the franchise business you want to get into in terms of profitability, investment opportunity, market viability etc. <br /><br /> Before starting a franchise business it is a good idea to consult with experienced entrepreneurs in the same field of business. Owning and operating a business is a large commitment as it involves a lot of money, time and energy, so you do not want to be stuck running a business that you do not enjoy nor is the right fit for you. <br /><br /> Many franchise businesses opportunities in the United States are a perfect fit for small business owners starting down the road to entrepreneurship. Starting with a small business franchise makes sense if you are looking for an opportunity that is a safer investment than traditional business. <br /><br /> Explore the possibility of franchise business ownership if you want to lower the risk of owning a traditional business. Before investing in any franchise business, be sure to get a copy of the franchiser's disclosure document. Established enterprises such as coffee franchises or restaurant franchises depend on their franchises to penetrate untapped market segments at a lower risk of failure. For any franchise business, the brand recognition and the high quality standard already established by previous chains provide a huge advantage to new franchisees.   <bio>If you are thinking of starting your own Franchise Business, visit Susan's site at <a href="http://www.lucrative-franchise.info" >http://www.lucrative-franchise.info</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you have been noticing that you simply aren't getting the business that you would like to be getting, or if you are noticing that you are running into <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lots+of+trouble" rel="tag">lots of trouble</a> with your home business, you are probably curious as to whether or not your business needs an overhaul. It is simply a slump in business, or should you be doing vastly different things to make sure that you are able to compete? If you don't know the answer to this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/question+right" rel="tag">question right</a> off the top of your head, there are several things that you can think about in order to find it. <br /><br /> First of all, remember that your biggest weapon here is going to be what your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/competitors" rel="tag">competitors</a> are doing. You are going to want to make sure that you are able to see what they are doing and compare yourself to them. Don't look at your business like you usually do, look at it critically compared to others that are doing what you are attempting to do. Are you using the same <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marketing+strategies" rel="tag">marketing strategies</a>? Are you doing the same thing to insure that you are seen? You have to be able to compete, and the only way to do that is to make sure that you are doing what your competitors are doing. If the people who you are competing against are doing something that you aren't, you should evaluate what you are doing and what they are doing, and see what you want to do more. <br /><br /> Another way that you can help to see if your business needs an overhaul is by asking your customers if they feel it does. Of course, you aren't going to want to ask them in that tone, or using <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/those+words" rel="tag">those words</a>. But by sending out regular customer service inquires, and by wording your questions very carefully, you can see <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/many+different+things" rel="tag">many different things</a> that your customers are thinking. With a little interpretation on your part, you are going to be able to judge from some of their answers what else you can be doing to make your business run even more smoothly. This is all going to be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/great+news" rel="tag">great news</a> for you and for your business as well. <br /><br /> Remember, if you get to the point where you think that your business doe indeed need an overhaul, you should take it slowly at first. See if you can outline some key points that you would like to work on, and do them one at a time. It is probably not a good idea to completely change everything all at once, unless you want to run the risk of completely alienating some people and being in an uproar for awhile. A better idea is to implement changes one at a time and allow yourself and your customers to get used to the ways that you are changing things. This is all together a better option for you and for your business as a whole.   <bio>Dustin Cannon, of Next Level Enterprises, LLC is a successful Internet marketer working with top leaders in the home business and Internet marketing industry.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/everywhere+you+turn" rel="tag">Everywhere you turn</a> nowadays, you always hear about venturing into <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/entrepreneur" rel="tag">entrepreneur</a>ship. But what is entrepreneurship exactly? It is actually defined as the process wherein a group or an individual makes an effort to pursue opportunities to satisfy needs and wants through uniqueness and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/innovation" rel="tag">innovation</a>. Some people have the misconception that entrepreneurs are gamblers in the sense that they take risks and invest in industries that have no record of success. However, the truth is, these entrepreneurs take <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/calculated+risks" rel="tag">calculated risks</a> that have the potential to provide them with huge returns. <br /><br /> The key factors you need to remember about entrepreneurship are opportunities, innovation, and growth. An entrepreneur sees opportunities in environmental trends and changes that nobody has seen before and pursues this opportunity with whatever resources he has at hand. The second theme in entrepreneurship is innovation which involves transforming and revolutionizing existing products or services to cope up with the changing global environment. The third theme is growth; this involves the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/continual+efforts" rel="tag">continual efforts</a> of an entrepreneur to expand his business locally and internationally. An entrepreneur is on the constant look out on how to create new approaches to make his business grow and become a huge success. <br /><br /> These themes are the key factors which businesses are founded upon. The largest corporations you find today did not start out big, rather they started out as small enterprises by visionaries who want more than what is offered to them. You can see from the history of some of the most successful business today that the founders of these businesses have taken <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/great+leaps" rel="tag">great leaps</a> of faith and incredible amounts of risks in order to be what they are today. Wherever you turn, you see the results of entrepreneurship. But it is most obvious in internet commerce because this is a new industry. People that were unheard of before are becoming some of the riches names in the world and it is all because they have taken risks and have succeeded. So whether we realize it or not, it is the entrepreneurs who drive the global environment nowadays. They are the ones who are always seeking out opportunities and taking risks to improve our world and profit from it in return. <br /><br /> The business environment and even the technological advancements that are available today would not have been possible if these entrepreneurs did not come out of their comfort zone to invest in the development of these businesses. As you can see, having the entrepreneurial spirit is definitely necessary for businesses to reach greater heights and provide better and faster products and services to their clients. It is no wonder then that a lot of business enterprises are hiring young and dynamic individuals with a vision and who are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the survival of the business tomorrow.   <bio>Dock J.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/occupational+safety+health+administration" rel="tag">Occupational Safety Health Administration</a> -- <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/osha" rel="tag">OSHA</a> -- is dedicated to assisting the owners, operators and managers of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+enterprise" rel="tag">business enterprise</a>s in the United States in creating safer and more healthy work environments. In this regard, OSHA has created educational opportunities which the owners, operators and managers of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/business+enterprises" rel="tag">business enterprises</a> can take advantage of when they are interested in workplace safety and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ergonomics" rel="tag">ergonomics</a>. <br /><br /> The educational opportunities that are provided by OSHA when it comes to ergonomics and the workplace takes two different formats in this day and age. First, OSHA provide written educational materials -- both in real world and digital form on the Internet and World Wide Web. Second, OSHA provides in person training, seminars and classes designed to assist the owners, operators and managers of a business enterprise in designing safe, healthy and ergonomically designed workplaces. <br /><br /> OSHA provides its written and digital educational materials regarding ergonomic issues for no charge to business owners, operators, managers and employees. They offer a wide array of different written materials, educational materials that can be used to work towards a safer and healthier workplace. <br /><br /> As an aside, in addition to the written materials provided by OSHA, the agency has also developed video presentations and audio materials that can also be helpful to a business enterprise intent on designing a truly ergonomically effective workplace. In most instances, there is a nominal charge for these video and audio materials. Many of these items are suitable to be used in workplace <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/training+seminars" rel="tag">training seminars</a> and sessions. <br /><br /> As referenced above, OSHA -- through its trained staff -- is also in the business of providing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/onsite+training" rel="tag">onsite training</a> to businesses (and employees) regarding issues relating to workplace safety and health. This includes training in regard to ergonomic related matters and issues. <br /><br /> The onsite training seminars can be had in many different forms and on many different topics relating to workplace health, safety and ergonomic issues. Indeed, the staff of the local OSHA office will be able to work with a particular business in designing and developing an onsite training seminar that will meet perfectly the needs and objectives of a particular business, its managers and its employees. <br /><br /> Information on the educational materials and opportunity that are available through OSHA can be found at the agency's website, the address of which is <a href="http://www.OSHA.gov" >http://www.OSHA.gov</a>. The site is user and consumer friendly and easy to utilize and negotiate.   <bio>James Brown writes about Ergonomic Products, Ergonomic Equipment and Ergonomic Office Products <a href="http://www.ergo-items.com" >http://www.ergo-items.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/board+of+directors" rel="tag">Board of Directors</a> <br /><br /> Most Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs) are governed by a board of directors and senior management. An exception exists for Cooperative <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/joint+venture" rel="tag">Joint Venture</a>s that the parties have chosen not to incorporate (these are governed by a management committee). <br /><br /> Powers: The Chairman, as the legal representative of the enterprise, has the power to legally bind the enterprise and bears significant responsibility for its acts and  omissions. Most of the powers and functions of the board are set forth in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/articles+of+association" rel="tag">Articles of Association</a> and in the Joint Venture Contract. <br /><br /> Number of Directors: The board of directors of both Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (WFOEs) and Joint Ventures are required to appoint between 3 and 13 directors. FIEs with few shareholders may be able to convince the examination and approval authority to dispense with the board of directors and use an executive director. <br /><br /> Membership: In an Equity Joint Venture (EJV), board membership must be proportionate to capital contributions. The board must have a Chairman, but need not have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vice+chairman" rel="tag">Vice Chairman</a>. If both are used, however, then if the foreign investor selects the Chairman, the Chinese party must select the Vice Chairman, and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vice+versa" rel="tag">vice versa</a>. <br /><br /> Meetings: Joint venture board meetings must be held once a year, and a quorum is 2/3 of the directors. For <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/equity+joint+ventures" rel="tag">Equity Joint Ventures</a>, unanimous consent of the board is required for amendment of the Articles of Association, increase or reduction of the Registered Capital, merger or division, and termination and dissolution. The law is significantly more flexible for Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises - board meetings and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quorum+requirements" rel="tag">quorum requirements</a> are governed by the WFOE's Articles of Association. <br /><br /> Director and Officer Liability: Director and officer liability law and enforcement is not as well-developed as in many Western nations. Correspondingly, the market for directors and officers liability insurance is not particularly well-developed either. The Chairman's role as the enterprise's legal representative encumbers him with both civil and criminal liability for the acts and/or omissions of the enterprise. Directors can be held liable for board resolutions that are illegal or that contravene the Articles of Association and cause losses to the company. Directors, supervisors and senior management personnel can be held liable if they cause losses to the enterprise by violating laws and/or the Articles of Association. <br /><br /> Management <br /><br /> Equity Joint Ventures must appoint a General Manager, one or more Deputy General Managers, and a Finance Manager. Although not required for other FIEs, this is common practice for these enterprises as well. If a Chinese investor nominates the General Manager of an EJV, a foreign investor may nominate the Deputy General Manager, and vice versa. <br /><br /> General Manager: The General Manager is charged with day-to-day operation and may be a foreign national if the enterprise so chooses. The responsibilities of the General Manager should be listed in the Articles of Association even if Chinese law does not require the appointment of a General Manager (as in the case of WFOEs). The General Manager is charged by law with responsibility for formulating a management system for the enterprise; production, operations and management, employment and termination of staff (except those that must be employed and dismissed by the board of directors) and implementing board resolutions and investment and business plans. <br /><br /> Deputy General Managers: A Foreign Invested Enterprise may appoint one or more Deputy General Managers (EJVs are required to appoint at least one). <br /><br /> Finance Manager: An Equity Joint Venture is required to appoint one or more accountants to assist the General Manager with finances. This is also common practice for other FIEs. <br /><br /> Supervisors  LLCs are required to have supervisory boards, although this is often ignored in practice by WFOEs and Joint Ventures.   <bio>David Carnes is licensed to practice law in California.
