Going Global: Is It Right for Your Small Business? by Melissa Mashtonio |
| |
|
Have you been feeling the itch to send your small business
global? Many are in your shoes--seeing the benefits of business
expansion but also fearing the risk of taking products abroad.
Although exporting your products may expand your business and
bring higher sales, the task may seem daunting to a small
business with fewer resources than a large company. But if you
take your time and research the process, going global with your
company may garner more rewards than costs. |

Women Owning the Workplace: Tips to Guide Female Entrepreneurs by Melissa Mashtonio |
| |
|
Women are taking the business world by storm, and it doesn't
look like they're backing down. According the
Womenentrepreneur.com, women-owned firms are the fastest growing
in the country. Women are looking beyond the traditional roles
and moving ahead to a new role: entrepreneur. This does not
necessarily mean women are swapping roles with their spouses
(although some are), but they simply may be adding owning a
business to their list of daily duties. |

boardroom. The one that caught my ear? EBITDA. It sounds like a
word spoken by Latka on “Taxi,” doesn’t it? But what is it? |

Business School for Non-Business Minds: Got a NAICS Number? by Melissa Mashtonio |
| |
|
I’m a journalist. I spent a lot of my career in the news
business. As my career has progressed, I’ve spent time at small
and large companies, and I have sat through dozens of business
meetings wondering what the heck the “money” people are talking
about. They used acronyms as if they were a foreign language. |

Your idea is great. You’ve got a great product,but are you really
ready to start doing business? This is the 21st century and
“charge it” is the mantra of the day. And credit is just as
important to a business owner as it is to a consumer. That’s why
every new business needs to establish a credit file. That’s where
a D-U-N-S number comes in. |

Top 10 US Cities and Their Biggest Companies by Melissa Mashtonio |
| |
|
Have you ever wondered what the largest company is in your city?
I did. I'm in Columbus, Ohio, and I was sure that Nationwide
Insurance was the largest company (by revenue) here. I was wrong.
It turns out there's an entire JP Morgan Chase entity based
right here in my hometown. So that got me wondering about other
big cities. And an easy search shows that the largest cities in
the world rarely are home to the largest companies. |
