What consumer laws make contracts enforcable? -

A contract is written to outline what work will be done and for what price.The day the contractor arrives, the customer walks throught the project to make sure there is no misunderstanding of what is to be done.The contractor feels the customer has money so he decides to do extra work to make a bigger profit.What prevents a contractor from doing what he wants and demanding more money for it?After the customer has paid the agreed amount in full, what can the customer do to stop the harassing phone calls demanding more money and threats to come back and undo the work?

The answer will vary from state to state. You need to see an attorney in your state to get an answer specific to your situation. Without knowing what state you are in, I do not know if I am licensed to practice there so this is NOT legal advise, just a general answer to a question about contract law. You mentioned a contractor so the work may involve work on land (real property). That could involve something called the statute of frauds (which has nothing to do with fraud) which says that a contract must be in writing to be enforced generally. There are exceptions but if you did not get a written contract for the additional work he claims he did, he could be out of luck. Again, talk to a lawyer in your state to be sure. Since you did not mention getting a written contract to begin with though, I am concerned you may not have a written contract. In that instance, it is your word against his and up to a judge or jury to decide what the real agreement was. There is no need to waste time argung or debating with him on the phone and it will only frustrate you. If you do not want to pay him, tell him you do not intend to pay and suggest that he file a suit if he wishes and you can both discuss it in court. You feel he is trying to take advantage of you and did unauthorized or unnecessary work. He feels you are trying to avoid paying for necessary work. Those are not easy positions to reconcile and that is what the court system is for. There are alternatives like mediation, arbitration and such but the absolute worst thing you can do is continue to be troubled about it or continue to engage in arguments. That is not helpful for either of you. Depending on your state, he cannot come back and undo the work in most states I know about. As for stoppping him from calling, nothing will do that unless he is truly harassing and then you need to report it to the police. But from experience I can tell you that those types of action will probably egg him on more than if you just ignore him, hang up on him or otherwise do not engage with him. The argument that he is harassing you by telephone will open a whole new can of worms and involve a lot more people and none of it will be a good thing. The contractor wants drama and wants to annoy you so filing a complaint with the police will just feed his ego most of the time. Ignore him and tell him to take it to court and you can both discuss it there.

What type of business should I mark my business to operate as? -

I m almost done with my business plan. I m stuck on something. I don t know sould I operate my business as a Corporation or Sole Prietorship if I m planning to run a photography and graphic designing business with employees I m planning to hire which will include a secretary, assistant, graphic designer and a beautican. Please help I m planning to open and start at the beginning to 2010.

First off, let me congratulate on your business venture. I m so excited for you because of the strong passion I have for business and hopefully you will gain one to. I wish you the best of luck and I hope to quickly here from you about the success you are having with your company. From personal experience this will be a task you won t regret, but at the same time please understand that it will be challenging. Now to answer your question on if you should operate a business as a corporation or sole prietorship, you first need to understand the difference between a corporation and a sole prietorship. If you chose to go the sole prietorship option, than a question u need to be prepared to answer is are you willing to put up personal assets for the sake of your company. In other words, if things go wrong with your company are you willing to put up your house or car. Yes you will be able to gain all profits but if things go wrong you are the only one responsible for all aspects of the business as a sole prietorship. With a corporation you will have to pay more and higher taxes. On the other hand all debts will be divided amongst all owners. I personal would use the corporation option because it is less risky. Again I wish you the best of luck and hopefully I answered your question. If you have any other questions pertaining to business, than don t hesistate to send me a email.

Hi L Ant,It s an important question. Do you have anyone else involved; a spouse? Have you defined an exit strategy? Is your investment from savings or outside sources? What kinds of local tax or building incentives will you be taking advantage of? Other govt incentives?A corporation offers some additional protections from some liabilities, but you will have to bring additional people into positions of ownership. Minor, perhaps, but it is certainly a consideration. Talk to your accountant, and your attorney. Try to think of what might go wrong, and what advantage/disadvantage each form of ownership would provide. Then, try to estimate the risk involved.Examine the differences in rates for your liability, worker s comp insurance, see if those make a difference.Good Luck!

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.

When you join the Amway Global business, you join a community of other Independent Business Owners (IBOs) who share your desire to achieve personal goals through a business of your own. This group of IBOs will provide business guidance based on personal experiences.A compelling aspect of the Amway Global business is the Line of Sponsorship (LOS). When you register a new IBO, you are their sponsor. The person who introduced you to Amway Global is your sponsor. This Line of Sponsorship is important to the calculation of bonuses based on business volume generated by IBOs in the LOS.Success as an IBO can help others in your LOS achieve their goals, too, since they may earn bonuses based on your volume, just as you will be rewarded for helping others generate product sales. Amway Global IBOs achieve when they help others achieve. So, while you might be in business for yourself, you re not in business by yourself. You ve got help right in your LOS.Why You?What do you want out of life? There are as many different reasons to be in this business as there are Amway Global Independent Business Owners (IBOs). An Amway Global business can help with those tuition bills. It can help reshape your work week. It can help you build a future for your family. It s your life, and Amway Global can help you build your own business - the way you want it.In Business For Yourself, Not By YourselfWhether you re a new Independent Business Owner (IBO) or someone who s been in the business for 20 years, you ll be supported at all levels by the IBO organization you were sponsored into as well as by Amway Global. Together, we have the infrastructure and resources to help.Amway Global provides you with support like:* Customer care: If you have a question about anything - like registration, renewal, business, or product information - our Customer Care Associates can help you.* Business management: You can manage your business, check customer volume, order products, and renew your business, all at Amway Global.com.* Order management: You sell the products, and we ll do the rest, like process the order, manage your customer accounts, and handle the shipping details.* Training: Online, video, and instructor-led training are some of the ways we can share with you the knowledge to grow a successful independent business.* Marketing: We support your sales efforts with DVDs, online sites, magazines, brochures, and free websites you can personalize.

You may be offered Business Support Materials (BSMs) that are independent of Amway Global, including DVDs, CDs, books, websites, seminars and business conventions. Many IBOs find these BSMs useful as they build their businesses, but they are completely optional, so it s your decision. Just so you know, some IBOs earn income from the sale of these BSMs apart from their earnings through the Amway Global IBO Compensation Plan.No one may pressure you to buy or use BSMs. Whether or not you purchase these materials, your sponsoring IBO is still obliged to provide you with training and support. Your own good judgment should guide you in deciding what is best for your independent business, considering among other things the cost, benefit, and time commitment associated with the purchase and use of BSMs.An Industry LeaderBack in the 1950s, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel were sales reps for a vitamin company called Nutrilite?. They envisioned an even better sales and marketing plan, however, and created a little company called Amway to set it into motion. Working with a core group of Independent Business Owners (IBOs), they provided a new opportunity to people in the U.S., Canada, and, today, more than 3 million entrepreneurs around the world.In 1999, Quixtar was launched to combine the best aspects of Amway with the power and convenience of the internet. Three years later it became the company��s exclusive opportunity in those markets. Now, Quixtar North America is making a transition to the Amway Global? brand to leverage the power of the $6.8-billion business Rich and Jay built.The business opportunity we support features:* An industry-leading compensation plan.* High-quality products.* Experienced support from an industry leader.* The community and support you receive from other IBOs.At Amway Global, we believe that the proper use and management of the earth��s resources are the responsibilities of industry and individuals alike.

I would like to start a small cheesecake business? -

What are some of my assets i will need to acquire to start my business?How can i go about obtaining credit?

It appears that you have never been in business before, therefore, I would strongly recommend that you talk to a business counselor before you do anything especially spend money. You have to determine whether you ll start a web based business or one with a store front. I d call the local office of SCORE (go to http://www.score.org and input your zip code to find the chapter nearest you), the advice is FREE. The counselor at SCORE will most likely advise you to write a business plan which is very good advice because it will force you to dig out all of the start up details and the costs of starting a small business and force you to also understand all of the aspects of this business including the customers you ll concentrate on (your market) and how you ll go after them.You ll need to register the business with your state controller s office and make sure that you check to see whether any city and county licenses are needed where you live. All of this will come out in a business plan.Try linking to YCHANGE International and read some of the articles especially the ones about a business plan and starting a business.

Starting new business? -

i am planning to start a new small business in abbots ford .i really need that kind of a business which can be started with less investment.suggestions awaited.

Many people think of doing this and try to start a business and fail. There are many reasons for this but the main one is they haven t thought it through from end to end. As Stephen Covey states there is a way to get this right and you seem to have got half of it. Here is what he says and believe me he knows, Start with the end in mind. What skills have you got? What type of business could you do? and most importantly the bit you have touched on is, IS there really a market for this? Many people have a passion for something and so they open a business and they get no customers or only a small number. They try to advertise their way out of trouble and create even bigger problems. They may be passionate about something but not everyone else is.If you are passionate about something and you can see that customers in Abbot s Ford need that something, then you have a business. If you are just opening something to start a business that you are not passionate about, please don t. It will be painful and won t work as you could never really commit to it.Take some time, think it through carefully and see if there REALLY is something before you spend a single penny.
