Blogging seems like a good idea, but when you’re facing a blank computer screen “good” and “easy” clearly show themselves as two entirely different things. Luckily, things do not have to be so difficult. 

By reflecting internally you can come up with some killer content ideas that you already know quite a bit about.  And by following the format below, you can consistently create some stellar and engaging posts.

A bank line of credit is one of the best things to have if you are a small business. It allows you to draw on pre-approved funds to not only meet routine operating expenses, but it can also be there for short-term working capital needs like plugging unexpected cash flow gaps, growing accounts receivable and inventory issues.

Are you wondering if your company’s bookkeeper is on the up and up?

Have numbers that aren't adding up? Want to make sure you aren't going to run into this problem before you hire someone?

Every company dreads one word above all others – even the word 'lawsuit'. What would that horrible word be? Audit.

Even the thought that an audit could come about makes business owners cringe. People have different ideas of what happens. The reality can be far less traumatic than the whispered rumors. You will still go through a lot of stress with an audit, but as long as you follow some simple rules you can avoid too much terror.

Value and price are very different. We have all had the experience of going for the cheaper version and realizing oops, we got what we paid for – that's the play between price and value. Price is the amount you want the customer to pay, while value is the the real or perceived worth of what they're paying for. The trick is to price goods and services in such a way that our customers feel they are purchasing a quality product while not turning them off by pricing so high that they go seek a less expensive alternative.

It’s frustrating, sad, and quite literally taxing. On top of all that, i’s important that your founders know when to make the final call to file for Chapter 7, 11 or 13.

Remember sitting around as a kid and coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas of things to make or sell?

Maybe they weren’t so crazy, and now you are all grown up and still have great ideas to work with. But now what do you do? It’s a long road from idea to business but you can do it with the right thoughts, questions, feedback and backing.

One of the more common concerns for small business owners in their second or third year is keeping their regular customers and continuing to grow.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) says that around 70% of businesses survive for two years, but only 50% survive past their five-year marks. The likely cause for that steep drop is that the failed businesses didn't keep on growing past that initial "newness" phase.

Companies often don’t realize the many small ways they can save money. When business owners are focused on the day-to-day minutiae of running a business, it’s easy to overlook small costs that add up over time.
