Can I deduct a business mortage payment or only the interest and why?
Filed Under United States | Leave a Comment
I need to know if I can deduct the mortage payment on a business. Our business mortage is a commercial loan and only the business is on it. Or, is only the interest on the business deductable. If so, would it be in our best interest for the business to rent from us this year?

Through the internet, a business of any size can compete in the global marketplace. In fact, on the internet, the size of an organization’s operation makes little difference because the internet is an open environment.
Similar companies compete against one another while being only a click of the mouse away. In other words, a buyer can locate numerous sellers offering similar merchandise, similar prices and similar offers in a very short time period. As more people and businesses become comfortable with the internet, the marketing landscape will continue to evolve quickly in the coming years.
Use of the internet has exploded during the last few years in both the consumer and business-to-business markets. Although the experts still debate the future of the internet, no one doubts it is having an impact on how business is taking place in the twenty ‘first century, even with all of the – - dot crashes – - of the late 1990s. Here are some facts about the internet that highlight its tremendous growth and presence in society:
- The most common products consumers’ research online and purchase off-line (at the store or outlet) are: automobiles, computer, hardware, travel, electronics, books, appliances, music, sporting goods and clothing.
- Over 25 percent of all business-to-business purchases are placed through some type of internet connection.
- The five top business-to-business e-commerce products are computers and electronics, motor vehicles, petrochemicals, utilities, papers and office products.
- In 2004, 10 percent of business-to-business advertising dollars were spent on the internet. The total amount spent was $8.7 billion.
- About 54 percent of the e-mail users have responded to an e-mail advertisement. Almost half purchased a product.
- Internet retail sales account for almost 2.5 percent of all retail sales.
Business-to-business marketers were among the first companies actually to make profits using the internet. In today’s marketplace, the web is becoming the communication tool of choice for many business-to-business companies. The internet provides opportunities for communication, customer service, sales support, collaboration and e-commerce.
Some companies use the internet for every aspect of their business including taking orders, inventory control, production scheduling, communications plans, sales programs, service departments and support programs. The change from traditional communication channels such as salespeople, telephone and – - snail mail – -to the internet and e-mail happened quickly in some companies and more slowly in others.
Now, convincing top management of the benefits of internet marketing is essential. There is still a lack of internet expertise in the business community. As a result, many companies are turning to marketing agencies for guidance.
To conclude, the influence of the internet on various businesses and industries has been clearly noted in today’s world. The presence of the internet and e-commerce is so sweeping that the various applications of web technology are now essential elements of a fully integrated marketing communications program.

The Relationship Between Business and Politics
Filed Under State Democracy Thrives On Busy Political Times | Leave a Comment
How powerful is politics in business? The connection between the two is often hard to explain, but somehow they are closely connected. Did you ever happen to lose a job or a promotion in favor of a person who hadn’t worked harder than you, or made more significant contributions that you? Was it that person’s character that got him/her the job, the fact that he/she knew everyone around there, or could it be that you simply did not understand the politics going on around that business?
When we hear the word ‘politics’, we naturally think of politicians, political parties, political strategies, and so forth. But have you ever considered the term ‘politics’ from a business point of view? When it comes to politics in business, the former means the difference between failure and success in the latter. And, more often than not, politics can define one’s personal career. You can enjoy benefits or suffer penalties as a result of the way politics influences every business. If you happen to be among the most appreciated employees, decisions may go your way, but if you are ‘invisible’ to your bosses or they have nothing but ill feelings for you, some penalties may be coming your way.
When it comes to business decisions or work environments, we often hear expressions such as ‘it was nothing but politics’ or ‘that place is very political’. What do these expressions mean? And how can you be part of the game, and know how to play your politics? When you have managed to build a strong relationship with your customers, you understand the business thoroughly, and you are respected throughout the organization, but your superiors still think that you’re not doing well enough, this could be a clear example of people using politics to drive their own personal agenda.
It’s only fair to say that there’s no business without politics, and that its level of sophistication depends on the size of the organization. It’s understandable that the complexity of politics is proportional with the size of the company, because, after all, politics means power, and the more players are involved in the game, the more there is at stake.
Like everywhere else, we can speak of bad politics and good politics in business. Good politics refer to building strong networks at all the levels of that company or organization, spending time with employees from all levels, having a solid understanding of the keys to the success of the organization, and so forth. Good politics in business is about sharing information and encouraging other people to do the same thing. Bad politics refers to exactly the opposite. In the end it all comes down to driving your own agenda, as mentioned before. However, deft leadership should not be confused with bad politics in business. The two are very different.
Unfortunately, it seems that bad politics has got its share of businesses, and we see more of that than of good politics, because there are more bad politicians than there are good, and the former still continue to make the rule. But, in the end, it is up to you how you play the game.

Is a Business Statistics course the same as a Regular Statistics course?
Filed Under Other - Business & Finance | Leave a Comment
Hi.
Is a business statistics course considered equivalent as a
regular statistics course in college?
In other words, if a student wants to earn a bachelor’s degree
in business and the school that he is enrolled in requires him
to take a business statistics course, would he meet that requirement
if he took a regular math statistics course and not a business
statistics course? Have a nice day.

Are you tired of your job and want to start a work at home business but don’t know what to do? Here are three businesses that are hot in the market and easy to start up.

If you start a work at home business and become a virtual assistant you will do the same job as an assistant but without the hassle of having to go to work. You wake up, walk downstairs, and get working. This is a great business that is on the rise and should definitely be considered as one of your top choices.

If you do not want to have to deal with customers you could also create a specialty store. For instance, you could specialize in selling laptops. You would go around to stores or people and buy their laptops and then resell them on eBay, usually making a big profit.
3. Another start a work at home business that is doing pretty well, but not having many in the field, is online writing. A person could be starting a website and want to get traffic to there site but they do not know how to right good articles to get that traffic. A customer could then pay you to write articles on a given topic and you could write them articles that would then get them money.
This is a hard task to do, the hardest of the three businesses mentioned but can eventually become and easy job. If you learn how to write articles good and get a big cliental you could be making up to $15 or more an article. Also, if you get efficient at writing articles you could get two articles written an hour, making $30 an hour!
