How to start a clothing line? on-line?2. How to make sure no one can take your ideas?3. who to go to, to get your shirts made to a good quality for a wholesale price?

I can answer #2 for you...Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry. It s necessary to have comprehensive research on the mark done prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party. This entails searches of the pending registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. To register a trademark, that s done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent Trademark Office for a Federal trademark. If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.Hope that helps! I wish you much success happiness in all your ventures!

How do I get back at a client who did not pay for freelance work? -

I ve been working as an online freelancer for quite some time, and I ve been working for a certain client who has always been quite late on payments. We ve gotten along pretty well over the past months, but now she owes me $45 for a couple of articles I wrote. I ve been sending her messages, IMs, but all to no avail. She will not respond to questions I ve sent about when she will be sending payment. I am in the Philippines and she is in the US. Is there any legal action I can take despite the distance and the work situation I am in? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I m a writer and can appreciate your vexation. I m going to suggest you forget this client. She s used your service repeatedly so we know she likes your work. $45 is a very small amount of money in the US. If she won t pay you, either she s fallen on hard times (terribly hard, at that) or that in combination with the realization that she won t be consulting with you ever again.There is no way for you to take legal action as no legal authority would ever take your case, knowing there s no dollar-denominated compensation possible.My advice? Be as angry as you like! Know that I, for one, can appreciate the unfairness of it all. However, it would be a great idea if you were to cut your losses as we say and not let yourself be consumed by anger or hurt. And I hope you ll consider dropping her a line in which you acknowledge that she is probably under pressure financially. Tell her you await her payment for services rendered and look forward to doing more work for her in the future.Your way is to breed resentment and burn bridges. Mine is to preserve the good in your relationship as it may foster other opportunities. It is also important that you respect yourself...something that happens when we turn the other cheek and reach for tolerance and understanding. You don t walk in her shoes but it s quite possible you woulodn t want to, either.Len

Sorry I doubt if there is any recourse or legal way you can collect bec there was no written contract or agreement plus court costs would far exceed $45. Basically we all learn from our mistakes and good deeds of trusting others where your sad experience shows you can no longer trust your client so that if they contact you for additional work in the future, then you need to hold your ground and demand advance payment based on delinquency. Then again since you are in the Phillippines with little or no recurring clients, basically clients offering ca$h puts you at a disadvantage bec Cas$h is King and Ca$h has leverage.Hopefully I did not confuse you and Bless of Luck!

Stanch your bleeding, and write her a im explaining that her slowness has caused you to change your business practices, and that you ll no longer be doing work for her. Then go after some other stuff!

Whats a good business to start? -

Hey i am a university student and i am very eager to start my own business but i am unsure as to what i can do. I just wanted to get some ideas on business that i can start that have a huge potential for expansion in the future. All feedback will be appreciated thanks.

Pimping is pretty much recession proof..Or open a Subway franchise.

really depending on where you are located and what popular around there. would not reccomend food. but car audio is good. computer business is always good. depending on what you are good at takes a big tole

if your wanting to go in to franchise business I would recommend Little Caesars Pizza. Relatively cheaper to start then most franchises with an already very well known name. Has a simpler setup.

Question regarding invoices? -

I live in a Australia, so I am not sure if this question is the same worldwide.I do the book keeping for my sister and brother in laws work and we have asked the accountant how long do you keep the invoices, receipts for, we have been told it is either 4 years or 7, does anybody know how long?

Every location has different rules. .Ask the accountant again about the 4 or 7 year retention period.You might search the Goverments website for the same answer.

What rights do I have if I own 20% of a business? -

My business partner has said he could sack me if he wanted as he owned 80% of the business, is this right?

Depends what sort of business, and what your role is.If it is a Ltd company, the an 80% share would be enough to give your friend complete control of the business. He could remove you as a director (or appoint other directore to out-vote you) and remove you as an employee (if you are one). But you would still own the 20% and he cannot force you to sell that. So you would be entitled to your share of the profits, assuming a dividend is paid.If the business is a partnership then the only way to sack you would be for your partner to bring the business to an end. He would have no choice but to pay you for your share of its current value.In both cases the exact position could be affected by the written rules (Articles for a Ltd Co or Partnership Agreement) of your particular business.

Assuming he owns 80% and you 20% he can sack you as long as he conformed to the lunatic/long drawn out Government employment regulations - but he has to buy out your share! Problem is what is the value of the company? If you having hard times the Company could actually be worthless/minimal value! However he can do what he likes otherwise as he has the majority shareholding.

He can t sack you, he would have to buy you out.
