    Here's an idea for all you computer savy guys out there

    IDEA 
    I'd like to see an online niche play for each individual service that i need as opposed to ServiceMagic. For example, I recently came across a crowdsourced lawn maintenance business: LawnOnlineOnline.com I'll probably never use them, but it is a fascinating idea. It's different from an...

    You may need a more conservative estimate for your conversion rate. 1% ?! That reminds me of Ali G and his Ice Cream Glove . . . worth "$34.6 million billion". For fun, here's a YouTube clip of his pitch to Trump and VC's. I LOVE his flip charts. http://youtu.be/48TR0vUPQCs?t=40s Have you...

    I am taking paypal to small claims court

    Gabeseg - Before you go down to the court house, take a look at the terms of service for ALL users. If your claim is less than $10k, you already agreed to go to arbitration. If it is in excess of $10k, you must file in either Santa Clara County, California or Omaha, Nebraska.

    Am I crazy???

    Otter - Check the thread titled "What makes a million dollar website" https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/web-businesses-internet-marketing/30802-what-makes-million-dollar-website.html The advice there, particularly reply #7 (nice cut+paste by Jonleehacker) is priceless.

    so I think I have a (good) problem

    That's great news, man. "Provide" sounds sort of like "give for free", but that doesn't mean you can't turn it in to a positive situation for your company. First of all, who are the shirts for? The participants in a single tournament or many tournaments? Are they for a particular event...

    Rezone

    REAL ESTATE 
    It depends on a few factors. What is the current zoning of the 6 blocks? Is it in the City of Miami or is it part of Dade county? What's in the city's future plan for those six blocks? (you can find this on the city's website City of Miami - Planning Department) It all depends on what the...

    Who makes the parts (vendor) for a Company? Example - Apple

    I definitely agree that 10-k's can be useful, but that may not work every time. While reviewing Fossil's 10-K, we found out that they make Burberry's watches (among others). And in this case, we were interested in the financial data in Fossil's 10-k and found the Burberry info just by...

    Ryan - Here's some advice . . . (maybe you've done this) You should familiarize yourself with California & federal securities laws. From your description in this thread, I believe that the work you're doing (as AP) would require a securities license (ie. Series 7/63) or registration with the...

    Good Question. I don't have the boilerplate yet. (first-timer) So, it wouldn't be any different from that. Do you have a cheap, effective resource?

    Website Legal Protection (resource inquiry)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hi - I looked all through the Business Building (E-Biz/Internet) form for an answer to this . . . I didn't find the answer, but I did find an amusing year-old post from BrianC about being better than Google. Does anybody who has set up an e-commerce site (or any other viable, for-profit...

    Self-directed IRA & RE investment -- what about deductions?

    LongHorn - I believe your tax adavantages are going to depend on how you have chosen (for the LLC) to be taxed. If the LLC has a single owner, it can be taxed as a corporation or as a 'disregarded entity'. If the LLC has at least two owners it can be taxed as a partnership or a corporpation...

    for reviewmypages.com you might set it up like Elance.com . . . people needing help with web-design, logo creation, type/grammar/punctuation review, reviews for content/clarity/etc on one end and you match them up with web-designers, logo creators, english pros . . . etc. In my opinion...

    Why Was 2004 a Flat Year?

    INVESTING 
    It's pretty hard to pick out something catastrophic (or even simply melancholy) in 2004 from memory. The 2nd Gulf War / Operation Iraqi Freedom / Whatever you want to call it began the year before (2003), so maybe uncertainty in the market related to oil, the war itself, etc. probably had an...

    My logo/slogan, would like opinions.

    Agreed. I didn't want to be the first to say it. I checked out your website as well. You might take some time to consider how much of your personal & political beliefs you should have on your business website. AND #6 in your terms of service is a total turn off.

    Other people's money -- investor pitch -- what am I missing??

    To calculate cap rate, divide your annual net operating income (NOI) by your total investment. In your case, using your numbers, NOI is $3,100 x 12 = $37,200 Total Investment is $800,000 $37,200 / $800,000 = 4.7% The Cap Rate is 4.7% This is very low. You should be shooting for a 10% or 11%...
