How do you separate personal from business expenses as a self-employed person?

questiongirl asked:


And how stingy can you get? I’m a Pilates trainer, but I also need to have training sessions at least twice a month to keep myself aware of what I’m teaching others. Could this be counted as a business expense? Or if, for instance, I only wear makeup when I go to business meetings (which is true), and not for everyday things like going to the grocery store, can I write it off as a business expense?

How can you tell if a restaurant or business is locally owned?

tampico asked:


Buying locally not only supports the community, but the environment. I’m trying to find restaurants that are locally owned. These should not be confused with locally operated businesses such as chains or franchises. How would I go about finding out what businesses in my community are locally owned? And does it matter if the business is a franchise? Does the money go to the corporate headquarters of these businesses?

How do I keep my business phone number after I move?

detailjay asked:


I own a small business and I keep getting relocated within the U.S. Because of this I have to change my business phone number and I am sure I am losing sales not to mention ticking off my current clients with an ever changing phone number. Can someone give me some advice as to how I should set up my business number so I don’t have to change it all the time preferably without an 800 number? Thank you for your time in advance!

what is the difference between business math and statistics?

Umbie asked:


I am a high school sophomore right now and I want to major in business in college.
What is the difference between business math and statistics? Which one should I take? What are the benefits of taking both? (Note: I do not really have time to take both of them, but I will give up a science credit if it is really necessary to take both)
Are there any other classes that I should consider on taking (sociology for example)?

Also, what is a good college to go to? Top business schools?
