I was told that when you install quickbooks premier you choose from the different business types that you can buy separately.  It doesn't make sense to me that they would do this, why would they sell the specific business ones then?

You were misinformed. Quickbooks sells its Premiere software in certain editions aimed at certain professions, such as contractors, etc.\n\nhttp://quickbooks.intuit.com/commerce/catalog/product.jhtml?lid=left_nav&prodId=prod0000000000007994383

You didn't mention if this new manager was also selling. If he is, great. Have your top sales person offer to match him sale for sale. That should embarrass him into either quitting or coming up with a more reasonable figure. Or, who knows? Maybe he is right. Either way, everyone will find out. Chances are, especially if one comes from outside of their industry, that the manager doesn't know how to sell. That is usually the case. In that case take the top salesperson's monthly average and add about 20%. I don't care what the product is cable or airplanes, that's doable. BTW, why did they hire from outside the company? Another problem might possibly be that they want people to quit that are close to collecting retirement benefits. It happens all the time.

Check with the Secretary of State. Usually, LLC's have to register their businesses.  Several states have this information online.

Peachtree accounting has this feature, I use it, but it is so close to Quickbooks that it should have it as well.

From what I have seen, it comes bundled only with the enterprise editions, not the professional editions. Even then I think the bundled version is still the old VSS from VB (6.0d).\n\nThere are several articles on the net that talk about using VB 6.0d with VS.Net 2003. I have included one such article that talks about how they can be used together. \n\nSo in short, it looks like they [Microsoft] made a leap from 6.0d right over 2003 and into VS.Net 2005. VS.Net 2003 has been such a mystery release in terms of support. Oh well.\n\nI hope this helps you. Enjoy!

You did not specify your practice area so I am guessing it's a general practice and your specialties are Miscellaneous, Sundry and Other.  You can't go wrong with using Quickbooks for general accounting and keeping up with your checkbook., Paychex for payroll, and Tabs3 for time and billing, docketing, document management, email management, etc.  You could use the time and billing included in Quickbooks but I am certain you will not be satisfied.  Tabs 3 has a general ledger as a companion to its time and billings and that will probably suffice.  Billquick is another excellent time and billing software and it integrates seamlessly with Quickbooks.  Good luck, I am a CPA and went  through the same head scratching as you.  I went with Tabs3 but can tell you it was not a good choice for accontants but know for a fact that is works very nicely for attorneys.\nCharles

Why would you want to sell to someone who has no need for your product.  Money from sales comes from repeat business.  If business has no need for your product, then you will not get repeat business.  \n\nThe cost of the orginal sale is usually more than lthe profit from the orginal sale.  Unless you consider your time has no value.

Hello.  They're still in beta and are looking to charge commission when they move out of beta. They say 15%, so I guess it won't be free for ever and yes, there is a catch!  I guess they have to pay for their technology and people somehow.  Good luck with your business though!

Hey buddy,\n\nIts a huge and extremely expensive software. If you have really purchased it, why dont you get the SAP support involved or get a Basis Administrator involved.\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

This question screams for a lawyer.\n\nIf both businesses are sole proprietorships, you could make the case that you had sold the business to him to make good your rental debts. Technically, in a transaction like this, the buyer of a company takes on both the assets AND the liabilities... Unfortuantely this sounds like a sales contract was not drawn up.\n\nI suggest, since you're obviously not rich, that you at least seek some pro bono guidance from a legal clinic. Good luck.

short answer, get MYOB and pre-select the business type, it will give you a complete chart of accounts applicable to that type of business.\n\nThere are some basic line items that every business will use, but in essence, you can, subject ot accounting standards and generally accepted accounting principles, create what you want.

As I'm not certain which country you are located in, I will provide the "generic" answer which I believe would apply across the board.\n\nAny time a company that is doiing one form of business, branches out to do another as well, if the branch is related to the present objectives of the company, there is no need to change the main company name.\n\nHowever, the extreme leap to a completely different business operation such as is the case here, would require either a request to the Governmental office that is responsible for handling business registrations in your Country.  The company need not change their name to accompany the addition of this new section of business, rather it is wiser to either provide a new name for the new area of business and link it to the current business by stating "A division of (the Original Company's Name).\n\nOtherwise, a completely new entity itself should be created for the Realty business.  Changing the name of this company in mid stride may be less expensive to achieve however, if it has been in operation for awhile, there will be the matter of changing the Company's building sign (if applicable), a major dollar grabber in itself.  The name will have to be reflected in business materials (business cards, letter head, flyers, brochures, purchase orders, invoices etc).  \n\nFurther, the cost to notify all current customers of the name change would be a courtesy and recommended.  Therefore, the cost to change the name alone is still compounded by the requirements to ensure as smooth a transition as possible so as not to lose any current clients/suppliers.\n\nIt would be more beneficial and less confusing if the company where to operate under one umbrella/entity that controls all companies.  For example, a Company my husband is part owner of is actually under the ownership of a Holding Company.  This Holding Company is the umbrella Corporation for 3 businesses all operating under their own unique Names, carrying on their own line of business and conducting their own accounting procedures, all separate from the other 2 businesses.\n\nBy doing things the way in which this Company in question is doing it, will cause a logistics nightmare eventually, unless the owners are able to maintain two separate paper trails/accounting practices accurately and without trouble.\n\nPersonally, as a business owner with a husband  one as well, I would want to be extremely certain that a simple change in my current company's name didn't lead to far more problems than necessary.  The real estate business in my opinion should be a separate name all together, although working from the same location could be possible for awhile provided there was a clear division of the two businesses here as well.  The company should look into creating an umbrella Corporation that  controls all aspects of both companies i.e. shares, shareholders, decisions regarding expansions etc.  But it should work in the background while the two businesses work as separate entities.\n\nGood luck with this and whatever role you play in it.

I use one.  It help a companies' cashflow as a factoring company buys your accounts receivable for a percentage, maybe 2-4% on average depending on your companies' credit as well as the credit of the company that owes you.  They buy it up front, rather then you having to wait net 30, 60, or 90days and you can grow your business and make your payrolls, bills etc..

It's called a conflict of interest.  How can he be an employee and competitor at the same time?  He may use info from DK at his own company and dip in on their profits.  Would you want your competition knowing all your secrets?  I think not. They made a wise business decision-- that's all.

I am a distributing member for Vemma Nutritional Supplements.  The Vemma product includes a Mineral Supplement and a Mangosteen, Green Tea and Aloe product with vitamins.  It cost me less than $75.00 to start my business and that includes a free marketing website.  I do not have to carry inventory and all sales are direct from the company to the consumer.  I do not have credit card risk - the company handles all that.  The tax advantages are the same as for any sole proprietorship business, cell phone, a portion of car, home, and any normal business expenses (including attending the annual convention in March in Las Vegas.)  Check it out on my website: http://www.myvemma.com/mjf and write or call me if you have any questions.  -- Mark

You can make spreadsheets with all of your inventory, but you would have to manually take out items as you sell them, as well as add them when you get in shipments.  My mom's business does it that way for inventory, but for accounting she uses quickbooks.
