Is my business allowed to use the same name as a nationally known business in a different industry? -

Say I want to name my business Jupiter Computer Repair but there s already a national brand of shampoo called Jupiter. Is it legal for me to use the name Jupiter since we re in completely different industries?

Yes. And I doubt the name Jupiter is (and I doubt can be) trademarked. And no one would confuse your business with a shampoo company. If they do, well, they are just stoooopid.

What are some sites where i can apply for legitimate at home jobs in telemarketing, transcription, etc.? -

I work full time during the day as a medical transcriptionist and I want to get a part time at home job to make some extra money. What are some legitimate sites for telemarketing, customer service, transcription, etc. Entry level mostly. No spamming or advertisements!

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

You are asking specifically for websites that have home jobs?The website below has a home based career center where there are lots of jobs -- some are in-house, some are remote. Since you are already a transcriptionist, you will especially find it helpful, because there are TONS of remote transcription jobs.

I use many different method to work at home , but nothing worked untill I got this amazing method. It works just amazing and I create fast money after I got correct method. If you are serious and really want to make money online you should check this out. You can find info at link below.

none; not via the internet;if you are good at these things, check with your state employment services office.i presume you type 55 + wpm and have excellent spelling abilities.

Bought an item outside of ebay but using paypal..? -

I bought something from private seller and paid him on paypal. He gave me a delivery confirmation, and when the package came the quality is not what I expect. Is it possible to file a refund/ dispute????

You should discuss the matter w/ the seller 1st.

hey listen, if your going to file a dispute, you better do it really really fast...because if you dont, you are not protected by paypal and if the buyer decides to take the cash and run , he will be able to unless they can pull it out of his bank account.If your lucky, you maybe able to, but you never know.File a dispute now, and they ll give you whatever money he has on him right now

Some box question i am not sure of gt;-lt;? -

In America we still use inches unless your in a European country which they use metric. 3 cm is dinky ;-)

Need advice on how a 50% partnership / buy in on a business would work? -

Hi there,I am in the process of trying to sell my online web design business. I have been approached w/ many different proposals but this one has me liking it. I will be able to stay on with the business while getting help with it at the same time to grow it. - my main reason for selling is that I don t have the time anymore.How does a 50% partnership on a business work? (specifically that of an online business). Net revenue was $54,000 last year and I have heard responses from people that because I am the business, they are not sure revenue can sustain at that rate. Does the person who wants 50% buy into the business for one lump sum? How is this sum calculated? Is it paid out annually or just once?This is how it was worded to me:They would buy an agreed percentage of the business based on expected PROFITbased on past trends of monthly income. The revenue for each job would besplit 3 ways - 1. The Admin side of the job, dealing with clientcommunications etc. (15%), 2. The design/development work (60%), 3. Profit(25%).Example: If we were 50% partners and we got 3 jobs in one month totaling$4.5k. If I were busy with the family but still had a bit of time to dealwith the admin side of the 3 jobs but not do the actual jobs and they didthese. The breakdown would be...Me (CURRENT OWNER): $675 (15% of the total for admin work) + $562.50 (50% of the profit)= $1237.50Them (PROSPECTIVE BUYER): $2700 (60% for design work) + $562.50 (50% of the profit) = $3262.50The benefits of this are that there is guaranteed income from the profitbased on your percentage stake in the business as well as being rewardedfor the amount of time you can invest (Salary). All the percentages etc.can be changed to something both parties agree on.How would the total buy in be calculated? I m pretty confused as to how this whole thing works.What kind of contract would be needed? Lawyer? THANKYOU in advance!

YOU IDIOT, why are you asking kids about this. Half of everyone on here can t spell, let alone talk about business.

When they say that they want to buy in with a lump sum that means they will make one payment for 50% of the company. If i were you i would ask myself, 1. Will this new partnership increase sales revenue? You dont want to do business with a company that will only hurt you in the long run, even if the offer is very appealing. 2. Are they offering you enough money? They said it themselves they need you to keep working because they dont think the business will do as well without you. so if you grossed 54,000 and they are buying into you... i wouldnt take less than 50,000 for the company. You would definitely need to hire a lawyer to peruse through the contract and point out any loopholes because im sure there are. Best of luck to you and your business!

How to view Page views ( eBay Auction Views ) without visiting auction every time? -

In eBay, How to know the viewers of the auction once i go to my eBay How to be able to view all auction viewers numbers without each time clicking the auction and view it inside auction ?

On ebay there is no way to do that. I m pretty sure you can do it on Auctiva though.

Actually you can do this. In My Ebay, instead of going to All Selling go to Active Selling and it will give you page views for all of your items. There s even a views refresh button. I only responded to this because I had this same question and had to figure it out for myself after going nuts! Report Abuse

Money for business venture? -

I own my home but not much equity left in it after the deposit (damn recession) I need to raise a few thousand to start a business. I am considering a partner but I still need to put in a share. Any ideas where to go for money? Any alternative sources? all suggestions welcome. TIA

You could try taking your business plan to the bank and asking. But even so they would still want to see you putting in a contribution of you own money.If you borrow off market the interest charges will be horrendous.Have you any family that are prepared to take the risk with you. If you are really keen and positive it will be a success then you do have the option of selling it to raise whatever small amount is there. That will show real commitment and that bank may then help you.

You can try http://discountbusinessassociation.com/R�� There are lots of resources for small businesses.
