A good logo design is very important for any company wishing to
build their brand.
Once you have a good logo, the next step is choosing the right
color(s) for your company logo.

efficiently what your business 'character' is and also to have a
more effective logo, you have to choose your colors wisely.

Flyin' the Frenzied Skies of Business Ethics
Flyin' the Frenzied Skies of Business Ethics by Marshall Colt,
Ph.D.
Not a whole lotta time to think about business principles and
ethics when flying Air Moldova from Chisinau to Frankfurt. The
constant creaking sounds make it hard to focus on developing one
idea over seven hundred words. Most of one's concentration goes
to simply keeping the Soviet-built, Yakovlev Yak-42 up in the
air. So as I gnaw on my lamb kabob (for breakfast!), and the
plane gnaws on my nerves, allow me the luxury of ...

Incorporating Investor Feedback into Your Business Plan
Investors, like the rest of us, have different tastes. One
investor may love a concept and/or business plan while the next
may hate both. It is important to understand this as business
plans are working documents and are always undergoing iterations.
Management teams must not rush to incorporate each potential
investor's comments. Instead, have several investors, partners
and other business colleagues review the plan and provide
feedback. Then incorporate common concerns and probe ...

Store and Maintain your Business Tools and Equipment with Self
For the small business owner, particularly for businesses which

If you're a landscaper, carpenter, plumber, or electrician, you

sacrificed to scrape together the money to buy all the equipment
you need to start your own business. But once you buy it, where

Common errors presenters make when choosing slide backgrounds
Ever give much thought to the template you're using for your

Serge Starenko, CEO of PowerpoinTemplates (www.PowerpoinTemplates.com). After all, your
slides' background communicates almost as much about you and

Why "Free Agent Thinking" Is Good For Your Company

For the first time, the baby-boomers are finding themselves in
an unpredictable work environment. They are shaken by the
instability of what the future holds...and with good reason.

SELLING YOUR TECHNOLOGY COMPANY - WHY EARNOUTS MAKE SENSE TODAY
The purpose of this article is to present earnouts to sellers of
technology companies as a method to maximize their transaction
proceeds. Sellers have historically viewed earnouts with
suspicion as a way for buyers to get control of their companies
cheaply. Earnouts are a variable pricing mechanism designed to
tie final sale price to future performance of the acquired
entity and are tied to measurable economic milestones such as
revenues, gross profit, net income and EBITDA. An ...

Are You Ready To Start Your Own Business? The 4 Key Questions
