What types of commercial real estate, should you invest?

If it will, at commercial real estate investments, investors often know what type of real estate, you should invest in this article, about 5 groups of buildings and the reasons why you should or should not be considered.

1. Land: people who invest in waste places, often in the hope of buying farmland adjacent commercial land to a few thousand dollars per hectare. Dream of their fate is again in the near future for commercial value zonesHundreds of thousands of dollars or more per hectare. They often try to convince people to invest in undeveloped land, sell the dream. Even if this dream is really happening, as you can hit the jackpot in Las Vegas, the reality is, most investors lose money or get the return on the investment real estate. This is a very risky investment that generates no land or very little income. Regarding the taxes, the country is not so reduced that you can not claim any depreciation. Additionally, for theLand loan interest is also very stiff in comparison to other types of commercial real estate. So every month, you must pay the money for the mortgage to be found, while reaping none. Should invest in land which

- Develop expertise so that you can not convert the land treated in a shopping center.

- You know exactly what you are doing and their deep pockets.

- The ownership of the land of a shopping center, you (not the owner of the building).

2. Apartments: it is a management --intensive investments that the turnover rate is high. The leases are often short in one year from month to month. As a tenant in and out, you have to spend money to get ready for the device. Apartment tenants tend to be a history of delays in the other tenants have because they are more likely to have a limited budget. If you do not like dealing with a headache most of the tenants, you probably want to stay away from the apartments. The key to success is the apartment investmentto

- Control or reduce costs. This may appear a trivial task, the list of expenditures by the property manager. These expenses include: advertising, accounting, banking fees (because of insufficient funds), capital improvements, corner of Grant laundry, cleaning, costs of collection, garbage collection, insurance, il, Landscape Architecture Legal (expulsion) the cost, maintenance, asset management , Property Management Off-site On-site pest control, painting, repairs, sweeping, security,Property taxes, utilities and water.

- Investment in real estate only in a good position, no deferred maintenance.

- Stay away from areas where tenants, for example, Berkeley, Los Angeles.

Otherwise, you can finally afford a little money or even negative cash flow. If any of your investment goals is to be achieved high levels of cash flow to the fingers of the apartments. In California, if you have an apartment of 16 or more units have a manager on site. This increasesnew expenditures. In general, the apartments are easy to acquire and more difficult to sell. There are always many of them in each market. The apartments is that they tend to achieve high employment rates as everyone needs a roof over their heads. So the interest rate for apartments is usually ¼ - ½ per cent less than other commercial properties.

3. Special features: They are for a particular company, such as restaurants, gas stations andHotel / Motel.

- Restaurants: Some investors like to invest in fast-food brands such as Burger King, Pizza Hut, Jack in the Box, KFC. These are single-tenant properties with long-term absolute triple-net lease, which often have no responsibility for the management of the owner. However, the rental income or capitalization of these restaurants are located is often less than 5-7%. Emerging regional chain restaurants like Johnny Carino's, Backyard Burger, Zaxby or TiaSouthwestern tend to higher prices of the CAP in the range of 7-8.5% interest. However, if you do not return a deeper insight into the budget for a profit. Operators of restaurants for sale real estate investors a higher rate of CAP and lease back the property for 20 years. Turn off the proceeds of the transaction with the construction of the restaurant expanded. So if you are willing to accept higher risks, you will be rewarded for the high-income emerging market with these restaurants.

- Petrol station:When buying a gas station to both homes and gas stations to buy. Most gas stations have convenience stores and auto repair bays at times. The profit margin for gas is at 10-20 cents per gallon [fixed many customers mistakenly blame the high prices for gas station operators for the innocent], but is quite high for a store. This is required as a residential property that you are eligible for a loan stand-by with a minimum deposit of 10%. If youI was not the intention to participate in the management of the service station, auto repair and convenience, you can stay out as gas stations is a chemical that could contaminate the soil. Once a loss occurs and contaminates the environment, it takes years and cleaned a lot of money on the ground. You may also be responsible for damages by the owners of adjacent properties, such as the contamination in May spread to their property. It is almost impossible to sell your property, because the lenders do not wantBuyers borrowed money to buy it.

- Hotel / Motel: After buying a hotel / motel, a property and buy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year of its existence. This activity requires hard work and marketing capabilities to reach the various parts. The rooms are useless if they are free. Companies tend to seasonal and can be immediately affected by an economic downturn and political events, for Example 9-11. Many of these properties are owned by Indian surname Patel, as they seem to workdifficult and we know that.

4. Offices: These properties are single-or multi-storey buildings. The older of the two-story office building with no elevators tend to have difficulty in finding tenants on the upper floor, as a service-May disabled customers who can not climb stairs.

- Single-rent properties are used as the headquarters of large companies like Cisco. These tall buildings are usually sensitive toEconomy. Once free, it is difficult to find a replacement tenant.

- Multi-tenant building of these properties are leased by small businesses, for example, real estate, tax accounting. Investors who want to buy these properties in order to diversify their investment risk more widely. If a tenant terminates the drive, so a small percentage of the lost rental income.

- The tenant is of high quality: Most of them have good credit, very active and quickly pay the rent in arrears.

- Lease: The lease agreements for officeWorks range from full-service [landlords pay property tax, insurance, maintenance and utilities] on nnn [property taxes provide tenants] insurance, maintenance and utilities. The lease NNN is a litmus test of whether the office building located in a strong demand by tenants or not.

- Medical Buildings: These properties are leased primarily by doctors and dentists. A high-quality medical building should be in advance or in front of a hospital. This makes it easier for physicians toback and forth between the hospital and their offices. Some investors prefer medical tenant medical buildings are evidence of a recession.

5. Shopping / Rate Centers: These centers are usually on one floor and a number of varieties can tenants: space for the school and retail services, restaurants, doctors, and even the Church. Therefore, it is the most popular type of commercial property sought by investors. Are always asked a lot, because there are more buyers and fewSellers.

- Multi-Tenant Strip: The advantage of this investment, if a tenant goes, you lose only a fraction of total income while you are on the lookout for a new tenant. Then spread the risk for this object.

- Single-tenant building has the advantage that only with the tenant to work. Some tenants such as Costco, Home Deport, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy 10-20 to sign a one-year lease and could be the guarantee of their corporate assets, the billions of dollars.This makes your investment is very safe.

- The tenant is of high quality: Most of them have good credit, very active and quickly pay the rent in arrears. Often signs long-term leases of 5-30 years, so that we do not do to make the search for new tenants every year. Keep spending your property in good condition and even money to make it more attractive to attract customers in the shops.

- Triple Net (NNN) lease: lease shopping centers are often in favor of theOwner. Tenants pay a monthly fee and reimburse the landlord for the property tax, insurance, maintenance, and sometimes even the cost of property management for. This eliminates the risk much more like an investor. The lease is NNN is a kind of litmus paper to test whether the property is not in high demand by tenants or.

- Lease on the ground, sometimes even a shopping mall with a leasing land is for sale. If you buy this center, we have only improved, but not landbelow. Could a trophy property, but we think three times on investments. When the lease expires and the land owner refuses to renew the lease you do not! It is easy to buy the center, but very difficult to sell.

Six points to consider before the purchase or lease of real property

Every company has to serve his own needs and concerns for the shops to their business needs. Every entrepreneur is whether rented or bought, how much space is needed, what kind of property is required to pay as for the purchase or lease, negotiate the best prices, how to negotiate for the best conditions, and how to best to find location. The following six points must be before renting or buying real estate considered:

1.Rent or buy:

It is generally better in the long run your company's own property. This may not be the case if you are strapped for cash. Can a better decision to a facility if you are leasing begin. If you rent a property, your money is much less effort than if you buy a house. The purchase requires a substantial down payment, and you can make a larger use of cash for you if you use theBusiness.

2. Finding the right position

You must remember how long it will be in the same position. If you think you are in the same position for one or two years, the situation in order to serve your goals for this period. If you are planning a longer stay in one place, you must be convinced that the site will suffice for a longer period is greater. For example, there is plenty of parking, as your business grows? It is possible that the area will be aThe field of crime? You may lose your seat for the expropriation of land for the expansion of the road? There are companies in the vicinity that could have a negative impact on your business? If space is still for your customers, employees and suppliers more convenient?

3. I am a lawyer review the lease or purchase

Do not just blindly a lease or purchase, a lawyer before you check your account and try to negotiate prices or better terms.The owner will probably rent or purchase agreement were drafted by their lawyer, and will be writing to the landlord. Feel free to discuss and negotiate, document and your lawyer to do the same.

4. Negotiate the best price for your business!

The results of the good trading May in order to save money for your company enough to hire more staff to start a marketing campaign or to update your devices. You need the best conditions for these negotiationsas the term of the options on the renewal of the lease, rent increases, a lower down payment, purchase of additional space for the future, etc.

When you negotiate a lease, you need to know how the tax will be charged the tenant. It is rented out on the entire surface of the building or the area by the owner based on? If you pay a portion of common area charges or fees, your
Owners must have a detailed breakdown of the costs which a CPA prepared. Shouldalso have the right to the books of the owner or the record must be examined.

5. Choose the right place for your company

If you're just starting your business, or you need to add more space, you want to choose the optimal amount of disk space. If you underestimate your needs, you need to reinstall and can be expensive. If you overestimate, you pay for the unproductive area. You must be sure to know the usable area of the premises

Decide howhow much space you need employees to estimate how many people are directly represented in the new facility. What do you expect them to be telecommuting and working from home? What are your predictions for workers is necessary for the next two years?

6. Characteristics of the construction and layout

What you really need in your school? Consider the cost of each function to see what is economically feasible. What design office to better serve your employees, customers and suppliers?What design promotes the production more efficient? You can find the office layout and design on the Internet and the library or you can hire a professional designer.

Your institution must be able to work during normal working hours without interruption. Your customers, employees and suppliers should provide easy access and ample parking. The premises must be carefully reviewed so that it caused no significant repair afterPossession.

If you need to buy or rent, these issues are carefully examined in order to protect the interests of your company. Before signing any document, the search for homes, the neighborhood and the surrounding area. You need to know as much as possible on a structure in which the company is domiciled.

Selling Your Business - More than a price tag

You have been through years of work - perhaps a life - a business model, and now you're ready to move ahead. When spent so much time, money and energy, we want to ensure that the fruits of your labor are duly rewarded.

Before the divers into the water, so that the stock market. The economy is too slow or too tight a credit? Decide whether this is the best time to sell to, and if your company is ready.

Determine Put yourself in the place of the purchaser, the marketability of your company. ItIt is important to be realistic its value and its strategic objective of the potential buyers who can benefit from the purchase to determine.

Be careful how the sale might affect your personal and financial situation, and how it affects your employees, suppliers and your family have. May impacts ranging from a right to financial benefits. The sale is forced to an emotional effect on you.

To examine carefully the reasons for the sale, are the most common health problems,Boredom, workload, business problems and money. Consider alternatives that may work better for you - franchising, developing a partnership with a company of similar mergers, going public, absentee ownership or partial retirement, two situations that you spend less time in the company. Perhaps one of them is the solution.

If, after careful research and soul of the analysis, the reasons for the sale of your company appears to be authentic, then you pay attention to the development of a seriesSales plan. It should facilitate the evaluation, preparation, pricing, marketing and sale of commercial negotiation and conclusion of the sale. Follow the plan and you can be surrounded by qualified consultants to help avoid common mistakes and surprises, and for a smooth transition of ownership.

Some goals never hurts

Sale of a business is a complex process. Like most of your assets in the area that you are wrappedMake sure you can use it for what it is to sell. Consider using a professional adviser to dispel some concerns and skills that make you own.

A trader can take advantage of objectivity, which are often lacking in your analysis of the company. Investment banking, mergers and acquisitions of companies and business broker may provide the necessary services, business brokers may deal in general with the companies worth $ 1 million or less. It is better to get references for intermediate and selectsomeone who is familiar with small businesses in general and especially with companies like yours.

Search for a buyer is only part of the reason to secure a consultant. If you followed the process of selling a house, you know that a professional advisor help you, and negotiating with potential buyers and position the company for sale - the pursuit of purity is to provide financial updates that documents that the true nature of society reflect and maintainkey employees during the entire duration of the negotiations and more. It's much harder to sell a business, rather than a purchase.

Moreover, the significance can not be underestimated, the use of the lawyers. You are dealing with questions that can be ignored if they can cancel the transaction. Legal advice is essential to close the deal at a fair price with reasonable terms and conditions and a minimum level of business risk.

And if you sell your business and keep runningnot only cheap, because at the end of the day, the buyer your boss.

There is also a good idea of hiring an accountant to advise of taxes and consider the tax consequences of the sale.

Consultants not only help to identify potential buyers and to orchestrate the operation, but can be used as agents to help protect your privacy, to organize the financing. These services are not cheap, however. Be prepared to pay a fixed fee,Hourly fees, a percentage of the purchase price or a combination.

Marketing 101 is good

The four P's of marketing - product, price, promotion and packaging - that is, even if you are selling a business. But before I go on these areas into account two other P: Let's be ready this time to sell your company to invest, and remember that patience is one of your greatest virtues. Realistically, it takes the processnot between six months and two years and six months, so to think that a deal will happen overnight, be deceived. The negotiations themselves last May to six months.

Also make sure that your expectations and goals are realistic, or if you are bound to encounter frustration.

Key drivers of sales

Like everything else on the market, the product should attract potential buyers. And in the case of a company, the less risk remains, and athe buyer might interest you.

Timing is everything. Buy According to a proposal to the law of supply and demand - and sell when all sell when everyone buys. The time of the sale of less strategic - if the company is doing, seriously, in a process expected that the revenues or profits to increase, is what the advantage of referrals, and if puts the economy into a recession or industry that a slowdown occurs. An economic decisionSale is to net seven or eight times the annual income.

Always negotiate from a position of strength to do much more easily if your business is successful. The best time to sell if it is not necessary.

Development of a rating scale informal key selling an idea of how your company can do to the market.

The history of your company - how long you've successfully lead the business and the efficiency with which the company says,Goals - affect potential buyers. The tighter the company is represented to be the most interesting. Remember that the goodwill established by your company to deal with some points.

Man is at the center of society. You must judge the competence of your staff morale, and even if the company is re-sold. If society is too dependent on you as an owner, you may need to train or hire a replacement or at least offer to staytransient.

Products and services are often available. Consider the quality, price, reputation, delivery, service and competitiveness. Be realistic about this assessment by providing for the assessment of how the buyer can exercise an objective, your products and services.

Undoubtedly, a prospective buyer will want to know, as happened with the company financially. Consider the ability of the company, its history, capabilities and results. Ensure Especiallycan the benefits would have been justified.

The accounts are organized and inspires confidence in the books of a potential buyer. Not worth trying to hide the financial details. Most likely, they will come to light and jeopardize the credibility and sales opportunities. Mobilization of capital for the company in a financial burden. Try not to sell your business in a state of fear, because it is difficult to get a quick sale at a fair price.

ConditionFacilities and equipment certainly affect the sale of your business. According to them, believe that their skills, their competitiveness and their ability to promote the business. And selling "Like a house, try the work environment attractive and comfortable as possible for potential buyers. This may include cleaning painting, windows, furniture and appliances or carry out repairs.

Existing long-term agreements with customers and suppliers are alsoPoint of Sale, offering as confidence in his ability, quality products and services online and pay the bills.

Your relationship with lenders is an important criterion for the analysis of your company. The strength of financial institutions, the credit is an indication of the reliability and efficiency.

Considerations very similar to buying a home, location, location, location is important for potential buyers. A privileged position - with the availableParking, accessibility, environment and well-maintained vehicles neighbors - is a product of the strong attraction and conditions agreeable to the field of leasing, buying options and possibilities for expansion. A potential buyer wants assurance that the company is properly positioned to ensure the continued functioning efficiently.

Your company to survive the ten years, or the will of its products and services of tomorrow and the iPod will be replaced next year, clean garbage bag? Iflong-term growth is more like a short life, then you can into trouble. On the other hand, if your market segment and individuals are healthy, they can be opportunities for sales growth.

E ', you must assess your competitive advantage in terms of prices, products and services. This may be the time to develop a new competitive strategy.

Play your company's strengths, take the weaknesses in the review and decide whether it is worthwhileChanges that are only paid if the company is on the market. Like any other commodity, should be an interesting business model for the portfolio, both buyers and entrepreneurship.

So, what's really worth it?

Based on a thorough analysis of your heritage, you must now set a price for your business. Make sure yours are in your head, you specify exactly what you intend to. This may include the assets, equities, real estate, franchise, part of the company and your timeterms of employment, education or counseling.

Unfortunately, the determination of the fair market value of your company is not always an easy task. Often there is a gap between what society thinks is the value and the price at which they will actually sell.

The assessment can be approached in several ways. The methods of assessment at the whole range of informal guidelines cover the following strict mathematical calculations performed by professional valuers.

InDetermining the value of a company focused on four issues: the condition of the lease is in force, the position of the company, the replacement value of equipment, furnishings and equipment, and the actual number of books. Often produce a multiple of income and yield of three to five times, can make a realistic price to sell. We have to sell what is actually there. Sell the steak, not sizzle. Potential buyers want the facts - including balance sheets and profit and loss accountStatements.

Remember, a potential buyer looking at your company the same way, when you started. Buyer does not pay if you buy just a job. They want to be able to recoup their investments and realize their dreams and expectations.

To make an independent assessment of your assets conduct - the lease, the physical location of equipment and inventory) (wholesale and believes that the amount of debt and the value of the firm on the basis of threefinal six months of business income and take a look at comparable companies. Studies of other companies in the industry is invaluable, but also have a professional review of the activities, especially when they are in high demand. Otherwise - the discounted cash flow analysis on a realistic projection of revenues, costs, investments for growth and capital requirements - recommendations based.

Many salespeople have great ideas for the sale price. As a small business owner, you must firstMake sure the rigid ideas about the value of the company. I have seen some owners in an exaggerated idea of their business, but I also worked with the owners who have erred in the opposite direction from the underestimation before.

Today everything, cash flow, cash flow, cash flow, as the credit market is tight. Acquisitions are always strategically and financially.

In addition to a textbook approach, financial records and a calculation of the property can be a good basisfor evaluation. The following guidelines provide the basis and not taking into account all factors that influence the number of May

First, determine the correct tangible net worth of your company by using a value of intangible assets minus liabilities.

Secondly, made the calculation of net income for your company - the difference between the gains over several years and costs, including costs of goods and services, wages and operating costs.

Third, estimate the value of yourBusiness as an investment. In short, this number is the performance of your adjusted tangible net worth, if you invest in something similar to interest rate risk.

Fourth, the calculation of the earning capacity of your organization. This figure is net income less purchasing power (which is the value of investments in addition to your salary as an owner is).

All these calculations - adjusted tangible net worth, net income and more ability to work - production on the basis of justice, bothValue of the company, the assets.

The valuation of intangible assets is subjective and difficult. Intangible factors such as location, resources and certain technological capabilities, brands, patents and copyrights, as well as new products and services, sales development for the growth potential of the sector, personnel, market competition and the willingness of Internet users.

Although it is difficult to assign a monetary value on intangible assets, is a proposal to increaseFigure gain power over stated by a factor of three. Add to your net worth basis, and that put a price tag on your business.

Now the question is whether a potential buyer can afford your company, and here the effective marketing is critical to reducing the deal.

Packaging / Promotion perception Prescribing

As with the successful sale of other products, it is important to define your market potential and to develop a plan targetingit. The marketing plan should make the package to include in your business look as attractive as possible and to promote and potential buyers will perceive your company as you like best.

First, define your market. There are a number of potential buyers in the market - individuals, manufacturers or suppliers, employees, competitors, and investment firms. Classify them to identify customers who are most important, and their objectives can best be incoming. Clearly identifiedNeeds of qualified buyers is the corresponding characteristics and advantages of the business highlight the best cover this need.

Concentrate on buyers who already know your business. This could sell at a higher selling price and reduce the required time.
I remember that, while the buyer of the analysis, you and your company, it is equally important to you, their skills and capabilities of the personal and financial situation of researchwell.

If you already have a qualified buyer, a short description of activities (including key figures general benefits derived, the purchaser and an indication of the financial needs of the buyer is s' expect to meet). It is important at this stage to maintain the confidentiality through a formal agreement. News about the impending sale of your company can raise your voice, your opinion fragment relationships with customers and suppliers, and destroy the moraleEmployees.

A full analysis of the company should, when a potential buyer turns out to be really interested and can afford to buy the company. These packages of your business, and how to differentiate it with other packages, the needs of your company from the competition. Preliminary discussions are often associated with business analysis.

The analysis should include an introduction, a description of the proposed transaction, an overview of the company, including its history,Products and services, facilities and equipment, operations, markets and competition, a review of the organizational structure, management and human resources, financial analysis and prospects for growth and marketing strategies.

It is associated with potential buyers and is the vehicle to get their attention.

Advertising in the business opportunity, part of a local newspaper, Internet or the Wall Street Journal or the placement of ads blind adsreach the public in general. Advertising in magazines, you can drag your specific audience. Direct Mail (telemarketing, especially when an intermediary is used to preserve confidentiality) and networking are other ways of promotion.

In addition, recommended that a consultant should be in a position to name the potential buyers who may have already expressed their interest in a field in your specific area of expression.

Transaction Structure

Before BiddingShe and the prospective buyer should have a structure of the transaction - the amount of the payments, if they are paid to create, and how they are doing. As an owner, you can affect the price, which is a central theme at this point.

Depreciation causes must provide depreciation

The life of an asset to a company depends largely on the purpose of acquisition, and secondly on the nature. An item is sold for immediate consumption or purchase of short duration and that the real estate is held for prolonged use, is of long duration, although both have an income. While the first plants to run after a year of acquisition, the assets, which lasts longer. Therefore, spending almost all of an asset is an expense of short and is in current yearRevenue.

But the situation is different, worn with a long-term activity will be written off, or over a long period of time. Consequently, the cost of assets over several years and each year are a fraction of this distribution ends. Simply put, the village, called expired cost or depreciation, in current revenue and pay the rest, said the UN has cost us run is performed on the coming times.

"Depreciation may be defined as the impairment of an assetdue to the use and / or the date of expiry. "Terminology of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants, England

"Depreciation is the permanent and continuous decline in the quality, quantity or value of the property. Pickles

"Depreciation is a measure of the destruction of the effective life of an asset shall be determined for a cause in a certain period." Spicer and Pegler

"Depreciation is the gradual and permanent decline in the value of an asset for allQuestion. "Carter

Objects include a provision for impairment

In order to achieve the following objectives, the depreciation accounting is a must for every business

(1) The recovery of expenditure on capital goods for the estimated useful life have emerged to keep intact the capital of the owner;

(2) The amount of the replacement value for the transfer of the goods;

(3) includes the amortization of production costs to determine the exact cost of production;

(4)Learn to fix a non-profit for the year;

(5) to see the situation through the proper financial balance.

Causes of depreciation

Depreciation can be two types: --

(1) Interior depreciation occurs in some cases with normal is known that the internal damping. The causes of internal damping are:

(1.1) normal wear and tear of assets by continuous use, such as buildings, equipment,
Machinery, etc. This drop isQuantum for the use of the property. If a plant operates two shifts, instead of being doubled for a single layer, the depreciation of machinery and equipment. It is obvious that this loss is inevitable. An activity can be maintained in good working conditions
with repairs yet, but it can be done continuously, if assets are not suitable for repair when it is most appropriate.

(1.2) Depletion Some activities by the appreciation in proportion to the amount ofProduction, mining, etc. career with the extraction of coal, mine, etc., the total number of deposit is progressively reduced and after some time you will be fully utilized. Then the value will be zero.

Due (2) Other affected by some external reasons and external calls
Depreciation.

External causes of depreciation are:

(2.1) overhauled

Some activities, but in good working conditions, could become obsolete. For example, the old one obsoleteThe invention of the machine more expensive and demanding, whose production capacity is generally higher and the cost of production lower. To survive in the competition, the manufacturer must install new machine replaces the old one.

(2.2) over time

Some decline in property value due to the simple passage of time, even if they are used, for example, to lease the property, patents, copyrights, etc.

(2.3) injuries

Activities can beby unusual reasons, such as fires, earthquakes destroyed, floods, etc. can be removed from the destructive activity of the loss in such cases and bought.

Requirement Depreciation

The need for a provision for impairment is apparent from the following reasons:

(1) determine the gain or loss of real depreciation is a loss. So unless it's like all other costs and losses of the actual profit treats / loss can be detected. In other words, the depreciationbe considered in determining actual profit / loss of business.

(2) to determine the actual cost of producing goods are produced with machines and equipment with the devaluation of the manufacturing process. The impairment must, as part of the cost of production of goods. Otherwise, the cost of production would be shown, unless the actual cost. The price is usually determined on the basis of production costs. So if the cost of production is shownIgnoring less depreciation, the purchase price will be set at a low level, causing the loss of the company;

(3) the valuation of assets, reduces the value of the assets to the gradual devaluation. If depreciation is not taken into account, the value of the assets on the books are displayed in an amount greater than its actual value, and then the true financial position of the company will not be disclosed in the balance sheet.

(4) the replacement property after a certain time, a goodis completely, because the appeal are exhausted. New goods are purchased that require a large sum of money. If the entire amount of the profit to be removed from the economy each year, regardless of the loss of depreciation, the amount needed may not be available. the acquisition of new equipment. Be exercised in such cases the money due to the introduction of new capital or obtain loans through the sale of certain other securities. This is in contrast to 0sound & Commercial.

(5) Maintain CapitalIntact Capital has invested in the purchase of a system is gradually being reduced
Account for depreciation. If the loss from depreciation not included in the calculation of earnings used / losses at year-end, the result will be shown again. If the extra profit is removed, the working capital, and after, the company is too weak and reduced its profit without profit
Capacity will decrease.

Avoid rental shops', with obvious limited knowledge. It is also easy to take the Via Dolorosa of misinformation and false statements.

Since the entry bar, a business is open in the rental of equipment is relatively small, it is important to identify to the leasing company, the good reputation in the industry. Check offers the leasing companybelong to one or more of the industrial groupings (eg, ELA, EAEL, LKAU and NAELB). While not ensure membership of these associations, high ethical standards, with each of these organizations has standards and procedures for evaluating unethical business practices members. Contact relevant associations for references. Next several names of customers, banks and suppliers will turn.

Get a greatMostly Lease Facility

True Product leasing saves much time. Find an agreement, the equipment for the needs to cover at least the next six to twelve months. A basic rule is for a lease facility, which at least 20% is more useful than is necessary. If a line of credit in the amount of leasing is an option is available, this can be a useful tool to ensure the right amount of leasing.

Select a tenancy This device Dating Use

The duration must match the intended use of the devices as much as possible. If the period is too short, monthly cash costs for the equipment might exceed the expected benefits derived from the device (cost savings or revenue generation). If you have a lease that is too short, sign the lease and the end value of options and exercise in each of these options, you can end up too much for the equipment. If> Length of the lease is too long, you risk losing the flexibility to upgrade to new devices is desirable more. Only a few tenants were measured with the device, which need no more, but still let a persistent equilibrium.

Despite your preference, a short-term return on the landlord in the rental of equipment lessors generally perceive a faster and faster recovery for a credit enhancement. You can handle the asymmetriesbetween your desires and landlords to maintain positive end-of-lease options. Find the end of the lease options are: 1) the right to the equipment to the lessor 2 back) options for renewal and 3) favorable purchase options. Finding ways to limit what you ask for the fair value of the options market, which should be accused of "low" (ceilings) or options in favor of the owners.

Look for Lease Flexibility

Get the flexibility of leasing mayTrump prices slightly. In fact, you can cut a lot of money to prices with flexible leases.

First, make sure to include that the lease, you can use most of the devices that you intend to purchase. In addition to that it will be easy to add more units to rent to change to suit your needs. Leasing can be used for better times longer under a Master Lease or the ability to modify existing contracts to make additions. What ifYou no longer need a little more "material? An early termination formula is useful in these situations. In general, these forms of assessment are hiring the current remaining. If the material has a high residual value, reached at a cheaper cost of cancellation by to negotiate the inclusion of some of the expected residual value.

A lease flexible updates expected. Normally, if the upgrade of equipment, the present value of the fees to be connected with the upgradebe combined with the current value of the remaining rental equipment to create a new calendar. Other methods may be needed if the landlord penalties or additional costs to be financed by the manner in which the owner of the lease.

You will be able to terminate the lease prematurely, without a heavy load? An amount up to the present value of pension plus a termination fee not more than 3% to 5% should compensate the ownerfor early termination in most leases. If the material has a high residual value require that some residual value expected to reduce the cost of early termination.

And "the end of the lease of flexible leasing options? Of course, if the contract is an option to include buying votes, there is no need for more flexible end of the lease. Otherwise, a good picture of the end of lease options is desirable. The correctReturn the equipment to the lessor without any penalty or costs, reduced on the right side of the device at a fair price or to buy, and reduces the right to continue renting the equipment at fire sale prices. The use of "caps" for the purchase or rental market can significantly reduce the potential cost options to the end of the lease. Be careful, though. Donors can click on the floors consist of at fair market value "(low) if they are fishing to" choose "to.

May become necessary to moveEquipment to another location. Make sure the lease provides that equipment be moved without unreasonable expense or penalty, after notice to the landlord. Remember that the shift might generate additional equipment costs for the owner, especially when in another country or multiple sites should be postponed. Most providers charge more points than adding an additional risk for the operation in which they have possession of the device. Until these considerations aretaken into account, the owner must permit the transfer of plants with a reasonable time, and the reimbursement of direct costs of licensing and administrative costs.

It is a reasonable time to give to renew the lease for you at the end of your choice, hire, purchase of equipment or return the equipment?

You should seek advice and for the automatic extension, the short time to avoid the costs of hiring additional risks. If the owner is not willing to negotiate this provision, you can manage the situation to ensure, that the requirement is satisfied the disclosure of the time.

Obtain at least three offers of rent, if possible. At the end of the day, the rental price is dictated by the market. The full analysis will be compared to the anticipated number of proposals to do otherwise difficult to obtain. Assumptions about the backwardness of the equipment and the integration of all anticipated costs and fees. Taking into account the amount and timing of the periodic leasePayments, advance payments of rent, security deposits, provide cash, rent and intermediate commitment.

Landlords generally do not negotiate, sign the lease before the receipt of a letter from the proposal. During the negotiations> Term of the lease may not customary or practical at the planning stage, the request for a copy of the standard contract, the lessor, the proposal of the letter is a good idea. In its model contract, look expensive or not standards that would otherwise eliminate the proposal from consideration.

There are lease provisions that almost all leases, are common net required, including: 1) the immediate payment of rent, taxes and other payments;2) equipment and responsibility, 3) maintenance of equipment, 4) monitoring and reporting on the relocation of equipment, 5) freedom of all mortgages or charges against the other units and 6) the return of equipment.

Fake Money

Reached into his pocket and pull the large role of tickets. Depending on how many of them, he feels pretty good. You know you are not worth the paper on which it is printed? Huh? Let me explain.

Yes, these notes legal because the people in Washington passed a law, they must be accepted for payment. Federal Reserve Notes are and they say right on the bill, "E" legal for all debts, public and private. "It's OK, but if you toThe U.S. Mint buys gold or silver? Years ago, as they, too, but not 1971st

Almost everyone has bought shares in a company. The company issues shares and per share represents a portion of the equity in this company. E "against the interests of shareholders, the issuance of new shares, unless something of equal value. Why?
Let's keep it simple. Let us assume that the company is worth $ 100,000 and issued 100,000 shares. Titlea book value of $ 1.00 per share. If the officers of the company decides to hire an additional 100,000 shares of security guards (soldiers), lease question (not buy) a plane, you raise (the personal accounts do these people, not the production) and Directors' pay more (the same amount production are present), you'll notice that all these costs are not winning. The value of all parties is now 50 cents per share because the value ofBusiness has remained the same. U.S. $ 100,000 divided by 200,000 shares of 50 cents per share.

This has to do with money? Have you seen the paper that the Federal Reserve Bank (it is not federal) still maintain a reserve was an auction of Treasury bills. Sir Alan Greenspan, has approved the printing of these T-bills. With a little 'paper and ink, has billions of dollars in debt have been created from the government. And who is the government? YOU. Every time the Fed turns on thePrinting machines for the sale of government bonds effectively diluted the value of money have. This is called inflation. Unless the rate increases the productivity of land, the amount, since its currency depreciates.

What do you care? What does that all cost more, because your money is less. This is monetary inflation, and has nothing to do with the delivery of goods. But (one day, who knows when), these bonds will be refunded. The idea of the centralGovernment is to keep the water in the price to make them to pay the debt in dollars, cheaper and less expensive. This is a method of money creation, rather than raise taxes again to pay for it.

Cost management is more important than cost

Reduce costs and control costs tactics, which in many methods of chiropractic. And when I on the budget, are a necessity. Although there is some confusion pipes first of two terms and "Cost Management" is a different matter.

Cost management is not cost -

Cost reduction and cost control is not a strategy. Before cost as part of a long-term strategy and reducing costs in the short-term tacticsMethod.

In general, the cost is because the search costs do not exceed the budget, so you have to cut. Cost containment means that you do not want to exceed the costs, the budget, if you offer to find to keep within the budget line.

Cost control can be a part of the operating costs, but leads to a cost management in the long-term, strategic approach and not a tactical approach to control short-term costs.

As a basic concept, ie the strategic management of costs, a maximumResources in the context of a comprehensive strategy.

In developing a strategy of cost management, we can think about how you make use of the optimal use of resources to achieve your goals.

For example, if an extraordinary experience to offer each visit the patient is important, not with the idea that this means higher costs to begin. Start with the idea that the experience of a life is important and how best to invest the resources to achievedesired result, which probably indicates that spending to save more money for front-end client experience of money in the long run .... PVA will be improved.

Cost-management strategy seems to be a great concept, but implementation is not as difficult as you think. In essence, it was the reflection on the effects of long-term vision, resulting from the costs of practice and improved ease of use, if possible.

Probably there are various tactics are already being used, butsummarized as a genuine strategic approach can be represented. Examples of techniques that could have as a strategy of cost include:

* New in bulk - warehouse clubs like BJ's, Sam's Club and Costco gives you the opportunity to buy, the supplies pens, paper, printer cartridges, cleaning and even toilet paper - buy in large quantities offered at prices that most office supply stores.

This means that the deliveries take longer, the budget for office supplies andto wait and easier than depreciation for the tax, according to a single receipt book makes it very easy.

So ask your suppliers for discounts if you buy in bulk and service contract terms that are longer than those you currently have. Also, if someone who put on many conferences and trade shows, a shopping list before the next visit to the discounts on the site almost always available.

* Use your suppliers --She is asking for discounts for bulk purchases or in bulk only one way to help you with the supplier. Remember, they usually have the same problems of cash flow that you do, so they may be willing to offer, discounts for early payment or cash. Can be expected to provide better prices guaranteed monthly return command.

* Co-op Go while you can - Join a group purchasing volume. They are available for the purchase of everything from common supplies you may need the equipment, electricity and gas.Often, the trade association for your industry and commerce also provide access to these groups, not to mention the discounts that they are clean.

Shop their services each year - will be maintained, telephone number, merchant account, can access Internet service provider or other services, shopping around is still helping to better manage these costs.

* Buy Barter. Chiropractic treatment, you can negotiate with other providers of products or services,Sample.

* Renegotiation of the lease - if you're ready to move which was to increase again on a lease or you can do it better to do an open dialogue with the landlord. When you lease runs in the next term, ask your landlord re-location for an extended period at a lower rate of pension. Yes they are. And you can do with rental equipment as well. Check your bank give you a better price and pay the rentCurrent landlord, for example.

Note that the costs are measured for the many by a system of accounting. The cost of patient care because of poor quality and service is an example. To decline as the impact of patient experience, and your collections, further cost reductions will improve your final result.

This is a real cost that is part of the cost should not be measured explicitly, but by a system of accounting.

Another example is the opportunity costTime people. If the projects and the allocation of tasks, it is worthwhile to consider what will be waived if an employee the task or project to be. For example, I had asked a Chiropreneur of his team at the last minute to a ratio performance. The employee had to care for patients to give form to complete the Chiropreneur wanted.

Replace your telephone answering machine with voicemail, saving money, but what will the effect that the experience of the patient calls your officeafter hours?

You can reduce the team. reduce the effort, but that is stretched to the limits, or causes of burn-out for the rest of the staff?

If you think of the cost, remember that there's so much more than the value of time, what is spent on the direct costs and expenses.

Spent so much time, overhead, reduce to attract new patients, and it may be easier to increase your MPN) (production of new patients, you can cutOverhead to the bone.

And remember, it is virtually impossible to reduce the size!
