Can i place media mail postage on a small flat rate box? -

Can I purchase and print media mail postage and use it on a Small Flat Rate USPS Box?And if so, would I have to cover up the Priority Mail that s on it?

I mail a lot of stuff, and my guess is that the USPS will not allow you to send that box anything other than Priority Mail. If you have some good tape, slit one corner and basically turn it inside out, then tape the corner back together. Then you can do whatever you want to with the box.

The small Flat Rate USPS box MUST be paid at the flat rate. You are not allowed to use it for other than Priority Mail. If you need to send something media mail, get a different kind of packaging.

Where online can i make a babysitting flyer? -

If I were you, you could use Microsoft Publisher; it makes it more customizable. If your computer doesn t have it, you can download Open Office. I m not sure if they have a publisher, but they probably do :) Hope this helps!

I can tell you have done some research into the needs of your new venture.

-To open a merchant account you just go to http://www.paypal.com and follow their instructions.You will need a checking account to do this and (recommended) a credit card.This could be any credit card or even a good prepaid, such as:http://www.esuperfind.com/prepaidvisa.ph��-To make the service most convenient you create an easy to navigate site that explains clearly what you do, how you do it, what your references are, including samples of your work etc.The best way is to took at competitors and see how they do it.-For a great web host I fully stand by http://www.3freedomainnames.computereweb�� because they are reliable, very cheap, they don t oversell and currently are the only one on the market to offer: multiple IP addresses, as well as unlimited everything.I have been using them for a long time for various businesses that just *cannot* go offline.

I like yahoo because it s cheap and super easy to set-up a simple site.I also like godaddy.com they are easy once you get used to them.

Can any actual accountants or CPAs tell me a little about your career lifestyle? -

I am an aspiring accountant and would like to know more about your hours, when your the busiest and if you truly like what you are doing? Do you work for a private firm or are you a public accountant? The more detail the better. I know my question is a bit broad but any help would be great for some more insight on the field. Thanks.

It varies a great deal. I can tell you that as the primary accountant for a small company I was responsible for all financial reporting. To do this, I made journal entries (many end of month), reconciled all GL accounts, prepared spreadsheets, worked with many softwares (GL, Investment, regulatory reporting, etc).There isn t a typical day, because it depends on time of month. As soon as the month starts, you get to work on the GL. This takes a week or so. Then in the middle of the month get the internal financials printed. Then prepare reports for bosses. If its quarter or year end, then the next step is to prepare regulatory reports. This is a tough challenge, but also somewhat enjoyable since you get a feeling of accomplishment.The hard parts are dealing with uncooperative coworkers. Also, trying to understand some complex regulations is a pain. You may also spend time dealing with banks, brokers, regulators, and auditors.There is required overtime when you projects due, especially the year end. Often vacations will have to be skipped.

Do you think the hookah bar industry will still be around in a few years? -

a friend of mine wants to open a hookah bar soon and wants to know if its a good investment at the moment. what does everyone think?

It depends on how ridiculous smoking bans become in the coming years. Just make sure your friend has a good CPA and a small business attorney. There is a lot of money and red tape involved in opening any type of establishment that sells alcohol and/or tobacco.

How long is one Business day? -

how long is one Business day from today?

It depends on what you mean by business day. Often you will hear you have so many business days to get something like a payment in to a business. Business days in this context are Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday are not normally considered business days. If you are referring to a normal work day or business day in the context of hours worked the following is correct.A business typical day is 8 hours. A week is 40 hours. A month is 173.34 hours and a year is 2000 hours (in the US). The rule of thumb is 8am to 5pm including a 1 hour lunch.There are many variations but the most common is working four 10 hour days rather than five 8 hour days.Hope that helps!

Where can you get capital without any assets banks are a no go and the sba offers little help? -

I have a Business idea that will require about 500,000 to one million and at the moment have no assets no credit and no money? Of course it s impossible but even if i did have lets say good credit and 10,000 dollars it would still be impossible so what to do I want my Business to work so I can be free.Ive heard of angel investors but they want like 40 70% control and only invest in larger companies that have a track record this is insane the world we live in

Unfortunately that is the way it is. Because of all the unsecured loans that have been given out in the past, it has made it very difficult to fine money for businesses today. I own a company that invests into smaller businesses but the main thing I am looking for is, WHEN DO IT GET MONEY BACK. This is what anyone that is willing to invest is looking for. Unfortunately you may have a great idea but if someone has the money, they have the power. It is rear we invest in company do not take at min of 51%, this is protection against my money. On thing your may think of doing, if you are friendly with you bank - ask the bank manager if he knows of any angle investors, not all want an arm and leg - these are people that are willing to invest into things the bank may not be comfortable investing in. (They are usually friends with the bank and tell the bank to send people their way) This is how I started, and how I repay the people that helped me get to where I am today. The money you are asking for - is going towards buying equipment of inventory? Be very careful sending anyone your information or ideas - a confidentiality and nondisclosure should be signed first, even for free advise. Good Luck

We all have great ideas but unlike you, we don t expect someone else to take all the risk if it fails but none of the reward if it works.If your idea is so great, get your parents and friends to loan you the money and pay them a pittance if you are successful but lose all their money if you fail.

No, it s perfectly sane.You just feel entitled. Get over it.
