:: Use Equity to Hire Small Business Talent

09/20/2013
Unfortunately, executives of this caliber generally already have day jobs. Sandberg was a vice president at Google, Kilgore was director of marketing at Amazon, and Schmidt was CEO of Novell. Day jobs like those, at big companies with big-time resources, make it extremely hard to poach the talent you need. These executives already have generous salaries, good benefits, job security, and possibly even a decent amount of flexibility and work-life balance. It is your job to persuade them to give up all that. And like it

:: How to Teach Anyone Anything

09/12/2013
Most people are familiar with the phrase: Those who can not do, teach. Ironically, it is the converse that creates dysfunction in business. So often these doers get stuck doing and doing because they do not know how to teach their skills and knowledge to employees and colleagues.

:: Documents Every Small Business Should Keep

09/06/2013
Most small business owners know they need to keep receipts, bank statements and other data for at least four years in the event of an audit.

:: Small Business Vs Personal Credit Cards

08/30/2013
When Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., introduced the Small Business Credit Card Act of 2013 to Congress back in June, she was attempting to right a wrong that has persisted since the original CARD Act took effect in October 2010.

The landmark law, which has increased transparency and bolstered consumer rights throughout the credit card industry, does not apply to credit cards branded for small business use. And while Loweys bill has the potential to correct this oversight, it has only a 1 percent chance of being enacted, according to GovTrack.

The roughly 37 percent of small business owners who leverage credit card debt each year must therefore learn how to get by without important legislatively provided rights if they wish to achieve debt stability and avoid losing money. CardHub conducted a study analyzing the small business credit card policies employed by the nations 10 largest issuers, and the five major takeaways are listed below.
