I have the opportunity to buy a business as a sole trader that currently has turnover of approx £50K and net profit of approx £43K.
Its not up for sale yet but it will be soon. How much is a reasonable price to pay.
The business is in rented premises so it is just the business for sale.
How much should a viable business sell for?
There is no easy answer to your question, particularly as we have so little information about the business and what it does. Often a business may change hands for the value of one years turnover however this is certainly not a hard and fast rule. The final answer relies on profitability, payback time and ultimately what you (or someone else) is willing to pay for it. Be very careful that you know what you are getting into before parting with your money. You should employ a solicitor to handle the sale.
Reply:There is no magic formula to sell all businesses on I am afraid.
Depending on the sector there may be some tenuously agreed multiples (of, say, EBITDA) but even these can vary wildly from case to case. Just because you turnover £50k doesn't mean that the purchasor will do the same with it.
YA will not help you value a business for sale. An accountant will.
Reply:I usually start by
calculating 10 years discounted cash flow
plus the current net book value.
Then I start playing with the numbers,
taking out goodwill,
looking at my projection assumptions, etc.
It really is both a science and an art.

Does anyone know how i can start my own nail salon business.?
I would really like to own my own business and in the town where i live there is only 1 nail shop in the downtown area and there are about 4 nearby high schools. I think this would we a great opportunity for a business like this. Any advice would be appreciated.
Does anyone know how i can start my own nail salon business.?
Hi. Sounds like a good market oppertunity. Find out what rent and utilities are for commerical space. Then factor in a "salary" for you or the nail tech. Then set aside cash for furniture and supplies, permits and fees for professionals like lawyers, insurance, and accoutnant. Multiply the monthly costs by 12. Expect to spend a year or more before you have enough business to break even and begin to make money so if you don't have that $ ammt. in savings you may want to look into small business loans. To start out you may want to rent booths so you can build traffic and spread the risk and investment around instead of you paying EVERYTHING while the word gets out. Take an ad out in the HighSchool Newspapers (just call them) and offer a small discout if they show their school ID. That'll get you the school business. Thats the stuff right off the top of my head.
If you want more great FREE business advice, especially on start-up questions, go to http://www.score.org and find your local chapter. They are a SBA affiliated nonprofit volunteer group that offers FREE business consulting. You can sit 1:1 with a volunteer consultant with experience and they can give you great advice. Thanks!

Jamaica-- Real Estate and Business Opportunities?
I will be headed to Jamaica in January for a week (Ochos Rios) and was wondering what kind of business opportunities or real estate opportunities exist in that area that I might be interested in checking out.
If there are any, with whom should I get in contact to get more information? What kind of hoops am I going to have to jump through in Jamaica to start/buy a business or buy real estate?
Thanks.
Jamaica-- Real Estate and Business Opportunities?
Insight into real estate investing in Jamaica
IN THE current environment of relatively low money market interest rates, rising property values and tepid stock market returns, real estate investing continues to be very attractive.
General Manager of FirstCaribbean Building Society, Lenworth Tracey, explains the benefits of real estate.
"There are real estate investors who want short-term returns and could consider new developments. In this arrangement you buy pre-construction (before building is completed) and then resell when the development is completed to earn significant returns.
"However, for someone who is planning for retirement, the investment objective would be long-term. This investor would consider a more established property where they can get rental income and a more modest capital appreciation.
"And once the property has adequate equity, you can access that money to buy another property, start a business or fund education for themselves or their children."
However, investing in real estate is not as easy as it may seem.
First of all there is the cost of entry. Realtor Joyce McEchron of McEchron %26amp; Clarke explains that the mid-range price for investment property would be around $8 million to $14 million. "In this market, that price would buy either a two-bedroom apartment or a two-bedroom townhouse."
However, this can be financed and Mr. Tracey explained that second-time buyer could access a mortgage at 15 per cent, or use a home equity loan at 18 per cent.
LOCATION
Next, is the location. The experts say that this is one of the biggest risks in real estate investing. If you buy in the wrong location, you may not be able to resell or have to cut your price to create demand.
Mrs. McEchron adds, "Investors should consider the Kingston 6 and 8 areas where they can command good U.S. dollar rental."
And if the thought of collecting U.S. dollars is your idea of landlording heaven, Janet Phillips of Keyland Real Estate cautions that you have to provide a hotel-like atmosphere for these discerning tenants.
"Tenants who pay U.S. dollars usually come to Jamaica with only their suitcases. And so, as the landlord, you have to provide every single thing. They want all fixtures, 24-hour manned security, furniture, air conditioning, washing machine and dryer, forks, napkins, dishware, swimming pool anything they would find in a hotel."
However, for investors with a more modest budget and expectations, Mrs. Phillips advises that the rental market in the $15,000 to $25,000 per month bracket is underserved. "There is such strong demand that these properties almost rent by word of mouth."
And regardless of your investment objective, there is the cost to own. REIdepot.com says, "Unlike investing in the stock or bond market, real estate has ongoing costs. There is monthly maintenance insurance, repairs, property taxes and property management fees if you are an absentee landlord."
Note that local property managers charge, on average, 17.5 per cent plus general consumption tax of the monthly rental income.
http://www.realtorsjamaica.com/ - I found this site is very useful when I wanted to start a real estate business.. I wasn't cut out for it sadly too competitive.. but they help you advertise and give you information on loans and loan agencies. etc

I want to sell my small tax prep business located in WNY about 45 min s. of Buffalo. Where should I list it?
650 clients, 450 regularly active. Most middle income wage earners, some small businesses, farms, professionals. Potential for payroll and bookkeeping. Excellent opportunity for existing business to expand.

don't forget that YOU are basically that business - It's a personal relationship with you that keeps them coming back - the customers might not like who you sell to so, it may be very hard to value the business properly. you might want to bring in a partner for one year to ease the transition, so the customers get to know the new owner

What do you think about this "Make Money on Internet" Opportunity ?
I was searching for a home business opportunity and came across a website which was offering a free membership. I signed up with them and they have given me this website http://MyNetMarketingCenter.com/r/sub/ra...
for free as well. Could somebody tell me is this the rite opportunity?
What do you think about this "Make Money on Internet" Opportunity ?
If you are looking for a work from home opportunity... I work with an Inc 500 Company that has been in business for over 20 years... and has experienced growth in ALL 20 of those years. They have excellent published credentials... and even send all of those working the business a monthly magazine which tells you exactly what the average income for each representative is. The compensation plan is very easy to understand... and there is no stocking of products to sell. It is the first program that I have been involved with that has actually paid me every month AND my upline is very supportive and doesn't charge me for training. The company mission statement is: "Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping others to reach their goals. The basic principle is revenue sharing.. the company believes in rewarding those of us who help them to get the word out about their products. PLUS... they offer a complete money back guarantee on both the products and the business plan. What I like best about the opportunity is that NO-ONE can possibly get hurt. If you would like more information about how I suppliment my income from home...contact me through my Yahoo 360 page. No promises of get rich quick... just accurate information on how, if you actually work the business you can build a legitimate business for yourself from home. Work for yourself...NOT by yourself.
Reply:Because so many 'work at home' opportunities are scams, frauds, or designed to make money - for the plan operators, not you - it's a good idea that before you invest time and especially money on any home-based business offers, you educate yourself on the different types of home work based schemes there are out there, and what to look for - and what to look out for - before making any commitment
The Federal Trade Commission offers several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. Here are a few:

3) How long has the company been in business?
4) Are they manufacturing the product, or reselling somebody else's product?
5) What do you have to do to be paid?
6) Are you required to accept products every month in order to make money from selling them? Meaning, you will have to buy something each month, whether you sell it or not.
7) What has to happen for you to make a lot of money, and how long is it expected to take to do that?

Where can I find a real work at home JOB not a business? If anyone can offer any suggestions or referrals.?
I have tried several different things, which all turned out to be work at home businesses or opportunities. I am only looking for a work at home JOB so I can be home with my kids and still have an income. I have experience in the Data Entry field, so anything within that range that pays an hourly fee would be a good start for me. If anyone has any advice, referrals, please help. Thanks
Where can I find a real work at home JOB not a business? If anyone can offer any suggestions or referrals.?
Forget about finding a stay at home job on the internet. Most opportunities are scams. Either they want money up front or are collecting personal info or are some kind of multi level marketing.
Look to what you know. If you have experience in data entry, contact past employers or companies who might need data entry work and create your own business.
Reply:Check out www.alpineaccess.com they hire you as an employee to do customer service. They also pay you as you train. However, because they get so many applications, they only hire 2% of their applicants. Good luck. I'm going through ARISE formally known as Willow CSN. Although they only contract with incorporations, I am actually okay with that because everything I use for my business is a tax write off. Good luck in your search!

Reply:I say create your own job. I opened a ebay store 3 weeks ago and have make a profit of $560, so far.

Like wholesale list, cell phones, etc. A guide that helped me out was about selling wholesale list, and you can view it for free at http://www.myshirtmakesmoney.com/wholesa...
But honestly, I say that those work at home oppertunities are for those who wanna pay someone else there hard earned money only to have to figure out for themselves how to actually make a dollar. Do yourself a favor and start your own method, pass it down to friends and family, and tell others that you don't need waste time with someone else's get rich scheme.
Reply:A word of advice - watch out for any online "job" that requires an upfront fee, no matter how glowing the recommendation from the person telling you about it, since they'll get a cut of your fee if you sign up so that's why they are usually pushing it. Most of the online ones don't really get you work, they just claim to give you a list of places who are or might be looking for people, and are basically scams.
Reply:Hi there are alot of online job out there. You have to be aware that most of them will asked you to pay to join them. If you are interested working from home send me a email, may be I can help you.
Reply:If you are wanting to stay home with your children and work, may I suggest medical transcription? A friend of mine has done this for the last 3 years and really enjoys it. Her time is her time. She can do her work whenever she wants, and hand the transcriptions in by their due date. The pay is good for a stay at home job. No need to get involved in a business. Good Luck finding something!!
Reply:I have a couple of at home jobs. Actually one of them I hire people to work from home. There is no start up cost or anything because it is actually working for a company. So if you could get in touch with me so I could interview you, maybe this JOB might be for you.
Email me personally.

Reply:Hi there are alot of online job out there. You have to be aware that most of them will asked you to pay to join them. If you are interested working from home send me a email, may be I can help you.
Reply:If you are wanting to stay home with your children and work, may I suggest medical transcription? A friend of mine has done this for the last 3 years and really enjoys it. Her time is her time. She can do her work whenever she wants, and hand the transcriptions in by their due date. The pay is good for a stay at home job. No need to get involved in a business. Good Luck finding something!!
Reply:I have a couple of at home jobs. Actually one of them I hire people to work from home. There is no start up cost or anything because it is actually working for a company. So if you could get in touch with me so I could interview you, maybe this JOB might be for you.
Email me personally.

I want to quit my job and start my own business. Does anyone have suggestions on quick start-ups?
My job is stressing me out so bad. I am an executive assistant with over 10 years of experience but I am sick of working for people that don't appreciate my talent. I know that eventually, I will have to stop being scared and start my own business. I need an opportunity to be a mother to my children (daycare is EXPENSIVE) yet I have to bring in some sort of income so I don't lose my home. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I want to quit my job and start my own business. Does anyone have suggestions on quick start-ups?
Having your own business can be more stressfull and not so financially rewarding as many may think. It is often better to have a (9-5) job so to speak knowing you can come home and leave the work problems at work and have time for your family.
Saying that, being unhappy is no good either. So why not look for other opportunities in the work place. Even it is only a temporary thing until you come up with the right answer for a business.
You could always try getting admin type work from home. but that is not going to give you much money. You will know the right idea when the time is right. Don't go looking for something that is probably not there. My daughter is in the exact same position. She is just itching to get into her own business but doesn't know what. So it is not the time to do anything yet. You will know when that time arrives with the right idea.
Good luck in the meantime. I am sure there are a lot of employers who would like to have your experience and appreciate you and your work. Just go find them.

Reply:A business that you could start up fairly quickly would be a cleaning service. There seems to be a decent amount of money to be made. I have been putting some thought into this too but in my area and surrounding areas the number of services is outrageous and I don't know if I could be competitive in pricing and still keep my head above water. I am in the same situation, would like to be able to spend more time with the kids.

Are there any legitimate no cost Work At Home business opportunities to make say $500 to $600 per week?
I have checked out dozens in the newspapers, on the net, etc. and every one is a hoax just to get your initial signup fee. Something listed by the Better Business Bureau might be worth looking into.
Are there any legitimate no cost Work At Home business opportunities to make say $500 to $600 per week?
Here you go...
Reply:Although it will take some work on your part. there is no sign up cost. you do not have to sell anything. all the tools and training are free. sound to good to be true I know that is what I thought.Email me Sanddancers_Place@yahoo.com Report Abuse
Reply:Take an area/field you have an interest in and find products at wholesale prices (e.g. books, toys, collectibles, etc.) and sell them on EBay. Many sellers, working full time, make a nice living doing this - right at home!
I am sure Amazon.com sells many 'how to' books on how to do this!
Good luck.
Reply:Well, regarding the Better Business Bureau, it is a voluntary organization that businesses pay to be a member of. You will find very few scam businesses there, and actually very few legitimate businesses there. That is because there is very little that they offer to a business, for the money you pay them.
I have a legitimate home business. Write me at wasdadd at yahoo, I will send you to a website where you can investigate it.
You can make $500 to $600 after a few months of hard work. There is nothing easy about a marketing business, but hard work definitely pays off. If you don't work at it, don't expect to make money.

Facing family dilema, have built a successful business, have an opportunity..?
I have a Rental Business, we rent jetskis and boats.
Have a construction business and we are sitting good, have good employees.
And have a great guy that is trustworthy that has never taking advantage of me that I know of.
My dilema is that I have always wanted to gold mine, like in going to Alaska and setting up a mining operation, now most would say I am going thru mid life, but I have wanted to do this for over 20 years.
My family has had a large claim in Dawson Creek, Yukon territories.
Now my wife is sick and will not get better, she is 32 while I am 42.
We have 3 children together, but she thinks its not wise to go.
Better to stay close to her family, and her personal Doctor.
Think this wouold be good for us to get away, as a family and spend time just us together.
What does ANYONE think?
Moved from where I grew up to live close to her family due to her health.
Live in Idaho and really miss the water and mountains of Seattle planned on mov. to Alas. B4 health problems
Facing family dilema, have built a successful business, have an opportunity..?
I think getting away would be a great idea, medical records can be transfered and there are lots of good doctors out there...we all make sacrafices in life.....there could be a lot of ways that you guys could work this out...maybe commuting, she could bring the kids and visit time to time when they are not in school and or on long holidays......in every relationship there is compromise........

Reply:You didn't directly mention whether your wife is terminally ill, but I would suggest that you take a family vacation to Alaska. That way it's a win-win situation: you have not commited to a permanent move there while your wife is ill but you still are able to settle affairs as far as the claim goes. After a week or a month or so, you and your family can go back to Idaho so your wife can see her doctor.
Reply:If you love her more than your ambition, more than anything on earth, I suppose , you could stay with her. If you think of adventures, for all you know, you have found adventure in where you are . I mean, having to take care of your sickly family member and having to give up many of the things you hold dearest to . Aren't most heroes those who are willing to many things in life just for those they love? It's hard but you can do it if you think you can.

Are people really interested in Business Opportunities?
How can you tell people about your BizOpp without being reported even if they ask for the information!?
Are people really interested in Business Opportunities?
You can't lead with the opportunity. The best way is to share your experience and build a relationship. Answer the questions professionally and in turn provide contact in your profile.
You could even post your profile as a source if you wish.
I suggest that you be real. Assist people and avoid just blasting your biz opp. I hope it helps.
BEST WISHES!
P.S.
Providing honest solutions to others needs is the key in any business. You can not claim to be providing a solution through solicitation. Building a relationship is helpful.
Reply:I guess It depends on who you ask and what your opportunity is. If you offer an opportunity that they have already
tried and failed at they are more likely to report you.
As long as your opportunity is not a scam and it
is something the asker is interested in they may be more
receptive and even join you opp.
What I do is try to answer questions honestly and try to offer them something Specific to their question
I also always try to leave a link to my website in the source box.
My best advise is to keep trying. Not everyone will reject your ideas or opportunities
Good Luck

What are the business opportunities that exist in clean energy?
Start up a natural gas filling station! We need many more of these, now that it's catching on. I have 2 cars that run on natural gas, and it's way cheaper and cleaner than gasoline, but not every state is on board with it yet. Utah, California, Oklahoma and Arizona seem to be at the top of the list for getting the ball rolling, but there's a lot of opportunity everywhere. Look into it and see what you think.
What are the business opportunities that exist in clean energy?
Selling the Vextrix scooter that runs off batteries at 100km/h. Try for an agency.

How Do you find a financial backer for a small business?
I have previously owned a small business, it was very successful but one of our trucks completely died and the other kept needing repairs that the company we leased the truck through was supposed to fix for us. They never fixed the problems so we gave the truck back. Unfortunately now that is considered a repossession and I declared bankruptcy due to never incorporating my business. I have the opportunity to get started again, and I still have my major contract. I can provide additional information to anyone interested. I just don't know where to look. This is my life dream, if i had even 5,000$ last time I could have fixed my truck and never went bankrupt. I want to do this right, and be successful. I am a hard worker and until the problems with that truck my credit was immaculate.
How Do you find a financial backer for a small business?
First, I congratulate on your entrepreneurial spirit and determination.
Second, I would advise that you learn from your mistakes, but don't dwell on them.
Now, the good stuff. The first thing that you need to is understand the idea of "planning" your business. You need to consider a formal business entity structure both from the position of liability and from the position of taxes and other financial concerns. Formation as an LLC or Corp. can help avoid situations like your past one that led to a personal bankruptcy. Most likey, you will find an LLC sufficient for your needs and optimal in consideration of requirements for maintenance of the entity. Moreover, the pass through taxation aspect may appeal to you as well. In any case, consult an attorney or do your own research regarding available structures in your state.
Next, you need to consider the capitalizaton of your business. Many businesses fail due to under-capitalization,and it appears as though this may have been an issue in your past. Put simply, this means that you need enough money to get the business up and running and keep it that way. You need to have "enough" money so that you can meet the bills that are to come and to support the business until the business can support itself. Like business entity choice and formation, this should be part of your business plan.
Insofar as actually raising this needed capital is concerned, there is (1) debt financing and (2) equity financing.
Debt financing is a loan. Basically, you go to a bank or other financial institution or person with money to lend and ask for a loan. It sounds as though as a small business you likely need a relatively small amount to get started, so an SBA loan may be optimal. Insofar as banks and SBA loans are concerned, you should expect to be required to provide 25-33% equity in the venture, assuming you meet the lending guidelines. This means, that if you need $100k for the business, expect to contibute 25-33% of that yourself in order to secure the loan. You can use equity in your home, investments, and a host of other assets to "put up" as collateral toward the venture, as well as plain old American cash. Now, an SBA loan is NOT money that the govt loans to you, but is a loan that a lender provides, subject to standard guidelines, that is basically secured by the government for the benefit of the lender. All of that said, it sounds like you will likely need to improve your credit score and/or secure the equity needed for the loan if you elect to pursue debt financing.
Equity financing, on the other hand, may be a better option for you, assuming that you have the wonderful, can't miss business that you think it is. Equity financing is basically selling a piece of the business to an investor. So, let's say you find someone with money. You do your plan and figure you need $100k. You may "sell" a half interest in the business to someone for say $100k, and you do all the work, execute the plan, etc. This "partner" may be silent or may want a more active role. Either way, you may be looking for an "angel" investor who helps you to realize your dream.
Keep in mind, however, that there are consequences to either approach. Debt financing, although it may be a debt of the business, may likely be personally guaranteed (translation: you still have responsibility in the event of the business' default), and in any case, may subject you to losing the collateral. However, once paid, you don't owe anyone anything and the business is YOURS. Equity financing, however, requires you to give up ownership interest, but at the same time does not have to be repaid. The investor is "betting" on your success. And, if you succeed, the investor owns a chunk of your business--period.
In your case, what you may want to consider is some sort of combination--find a partner who has good credit and maybe can contribute some of the needed equity and maybe you get an SBA loan, secured by the necessary collateral, maybe using the partner's credit. A fair exchange may be your putting up the equity and the partner putting up the capital. This may work, but really depends on the lender's guidelines.
Finally, as it appears that you have a customer base/contract and have experience in this business, you may have a stronger business plan than you think. What you should be careful about is underestimating contingencies as you did in the past. If you are asked about "what happened" in the past, be honest and explain that you failed to adequately plan and capitalize the venture and have learned from that experience. Meanwhile, your skill/expertise in the underlying "thing" is outstanding, and you just need to make sure that you have the proper foundation and structure in place so that the business can be viable and grow into a self-sustaining and profitable venture. Your capacity to do "the thing" is most definitely a consideration in the financing process. After all, who would invest in a chef's new restaurant if the chef can't cook or if the cook never went to cooking school and has never ran a restaurant before, but is basically a pipe-dreaming accountant? The fact that you can do "it" is important and should give you hope.
In any case, I wish you the best and hope that I provided some useful information.

If your prior truck wasn't repo'd but they offered to take it back instead of repairing it then have them remove the false information from your credit report.

I have an opportunity to take a business trip that could mean the success of my business, should I go?
I wonder if as you say, it could mean the success of your business, why you would even want an opinion? If you feel it's something good, that it will progress your business and it's not unhealthy or dangerous, consider any other reasons that may be causing you to have "dobuts". You are the only one who can truly answer this question.

Reply:of course you should go if it could mean the success of your business.

Do those people who reply with "business opportunities" and "work at home" online businesses annoy you...
...as much as they annoy me? People ask legitimate questions about careers or employment, or how to find a career they like, or how to change careers, etc., and these scam artist trolls post this junk about "hey, go to my website where there is a wonderful new online business opportunity, it will change your life" blah blah blah. Any thoughts?!
Do those people who reply with "business opportunities" and "work at home" online businesses annoy you...
Yes, but more so that they prey on people who can least afford to be ripped off! Those scammers are the lowest of the low.......I don't know why advertisers accept them, doesn't say much to me about people who let them advertise.
Reply:I disagree with your feelings on people posting their ideas! It doesn't annoy me. My husband posted a question a long time ago on work at home jobs for me, he got a lot of feed back on it. I looked at every single one and did find one that I got involved in and I thank God that he asked that question on Yahoo! Because I love what I'm doing now! The information they gave my husband was very good! I actually had quite a few different options offered to me, but the one I chose was perfect for me. I read up on all the magazine's they were mentioned in. I did a little research because it all seemed "to good to be true", but to find out it is the best thing that I ever came across (well, except my husband and children of course!" Now, I have the best of both worlds, a really good income (which didn't take me long to acquire) and time with my family and time to do the things that I want to do in life! So I don't think there's anything wrong with people posting opportunities for people. Hey if they are legitimate companies what's wrong with that? Not all things people post is for everyone. If someone suggested a nursing job, and you don't like that type of job, would you feel they were, "blah blah?" how about if someone suggested you get involved in realistate? To me, these are all just suggestions. When you post a question on Yahoo, your going to have to understand that your going to get a lot of different answers. Some you may not be into, and others you may like. Either way, they are all just suggestions and you don't have to do what people are suggesting. Is that any reason to "report" abuse to someone's suggestion just because you don't like what they suggested? To me these types of people are abusing the "abuse" buttons. If you don't like what someone suggested, then so what, don't do what they suggested. It's pretty simple to me. Your going to go through life with people making suggestions to you that you may or may not agree, so do you throw them in jail for offering help in something they like and think you might be interested? I don't see the crime in this. Like I said, if people don't like what's suggested to them, normal good people, just fluff it off their shoulders and continue on looking for what best suits them. Ya know? I hope you don't take what I am saying offensive, you asked the question, so I'm giving my thought on it. I've watched my husband on Yahoo many times reading questions people ask at night, and this troll thing and people reporting abuse etc etc is hilariouse. Why let it bother you? Is it really that bad of a thing to post something you think they might be interested in? I don't agree with what you posted, should I report you as abusing? No, it's your thought, your question, and that's your right! So should it be the rights to others to post what they beleive would or could help someone else asking a question. It's up to the person who asked the question rather it's for them or not.
Because of the responses my husband received, I learned a lot! What to look for, what interested me etc.
So, I'm sorry, but I don't agree with it being annoying. If people don't like the answers they get and allow them to be annoyed, then they should stop asking questions if they know they're going to get answers that are going to annoy them. Or just learn to be able to brush it off instead of allowing yourself to be so upset over something that is kind of petty. Ya know what I mean?
Again, I hope that I didn't offend you, but this is what I think. If noone posted the business opportunities, then I would of been in the same place I was in before.
don't let people's posts get to you. Ignore posts that you don't like and be happy with the ones you do like. Make life simple for yourself okay?

Reply:It bugs me, too. If someone is asking about a work from home or mlm opportunity...or even self employment, by all means answer. Answering, though, with the same drivel no matter the question is spam, imho.
Reply:Yes, that do. Very much. The people who will tell you to call in and they'll send you their free brochure or the actual 'stuff.' I often wonder what is behind the scenes there.

If that were the case there would be no such thing as 'welfare.'
