These priorities, which focus on the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), seek to improve this important law and make it a more effective tool while not overwhelming its unique purpose or undermining its effectiveness. In addition to these top legislative priorities, the Office of Advocacy is prepared to work with Congress on other ideas for improving the RFA and on other legislation supporting small business. The RFA has been an increasingly effective tool over the years, and Advocacy is wary of any changes that would potentially overwhelm its unique purpose or undermine its effectiveness. However, they do believe that a number of measured and technical changes could improve the RFA.

The study, An Examination of the 2001 IRS Tax Gap Estimates' Effect on Small Business, was written by Quantria Strategies; it highlights flaws with the overall estimates, particularly as they relate to large corporations and international tax transactions. However, the study finds that most underreporting on individual income tax forms is unintentional - just 1% of all issues examined resulted from deliberate failure to report income properly.

A new Advocacy study, Lending by Depository Lenders to Small Businesses, 2003-2010, looks at the lending performance of depository institutions over this eight-year term. The total supply of small business loans held by depository lenders (commercial banks and savings institutions) peaked at $711 billion in 2008, then declined from 2008 to 2010. The research also offers a regional perspective; it reviews the 2009-2010 lending by community lenders in each of the 10 SBA regions.

The executive order requires each agency to submit a plan for retrospective review of its regulations by May 15, 2011. Concurrent with the E.O. 13563, President Obama issued a memo to the heads of agencies reminding them of their responsibilities toward small business under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The study uses data from the Federal Reserve Board's now-defunct Survey of Small Business Finances. The report also finds some worrisome differences in credit access across minority-owned businesses. Black- and Hispanic-owned businesses are charged higher interest rates and are more likely to be denied loans, while Asian-owned businesses essentially mirror US averages.

The Act further defines an eligible private, nonprofit entity to include a private, nonprofit community development corporation, a consortium of private, nonprofit organizations or community development corporations, and an agency or nonprofit entity established by a Native American tribal government. Examples of nonprofit community development corporations include certified nonprofit Community Development Fund Institutions (CDFIs) participating in Treasury's CDFI Fund program and Certified Development Companies (CDCs) participating in SBA's 504 lending program.\n Paragraph (c) of section 109.100 includes additional requirements relating to an ILP Intermediary's management and operations.

Hall (202) 205-6697 WASHINGTON, D.C. -Small business owners with eligible commercial real estate mortgages maturing after Dec. 31, 2012, will be able to secure more stable, long-term financing through the U.S. Small Business Administration's temporary 504 refinancing program as a result of a change that will be published in The Federal Register by April 6. Typically, a 504 project includes three elements: a loan (or first mortgage) secured with a senior lien from a private-sector lender covering 50 percent of the project cost, a second mortgage secured with a junior lien from an SBA Certified Development Company (backed by a 100 percent SBA-guaranteed debenture) covering up to 40 percent of the cost, and a contribution of at least 10 percent equity from the small business borrower.

The Office of Advocacy has been working on these rules since 2008 and continues to express concerns that EPA has not fully considered the effects of these rules on small businesses and institutions. EPA certified that the other rules did not impose a significant burden on a substantial number of small entities and therefore did not prepare regulatory flexibility analyses. However, Advocacy has concerns about the CISWI and DSW rules.

No one disputes that regulations are needed for societies to properly function. Everyone benefits in society when sound and effective regulations are in place. Small business owners want a safe and healthy environment for their families and communities. They also are the entrepreneurs that seek to build and strengthen the economy and the way of life. Small businesses' issue with regulation arises when uncertainly and unfairness enter into the process.

The term "small business lending" here refers to business lending in amounts under $1 million. The smallest or "micro" business lending is lending in amounts under $100,000. Micro lending began to stabilize in 2009-2010 -- the total was down by 1%, compared with a 5.5% drop in 2008-2009. Real estate loans accounted for the entire decline. Because of data limitations, the study looks only at the supply side of the lending equation, but some small business credit demand indicators have recently begun to register increases.

Congress enacted the RFA in 1980 in response to frustration in the small business community which arose from the increasing and disproportionate burden of federal regulation on small entities.

Many Small Business owners think they can secure these coveted orders by using the latest tech tool. This may work to an extent in some enterprises, but for those owners dreaming of seeing their company's name in lights, a critical piece of the sales puzzle is how to sell customers without the cash to afford your own competent sales force. No matter how sophisticated you are technologically, human selling will greatly increase your success odds. A manufacturer's representative, also known as a sales representative, sales agent, a broker in some industries, or simply a rep, is an independent business person who acts as the sales arm for one or more businesses which are comprised of one or more products or services.

Most web-based, Software as a Service (SaaS) business management tools are available at a very low cost. They don't require anything more than a single desktop with Internet connection and are extremely easy to use and implement for the business.

He has said that if small businesses don't prosper, then everyone is hurting badly. As governor for six years, Manchin was heralded from both sides of the aisle for his common sense policies that kept West Virginia's unemployment rate lower than the national average and its fiscal condition sound. Senator Manchin will not be alone, however, when it comes to new members of the Senate who started working in small business at an early age. As a young boy, Ron Johnson, the new senator from Wisconsin, had a number of jobs. Johnson's entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic continued into his adulthood, when he cofounded a specialty plastics company, PACUR.

Many economic indicators began to show improvement, but for small businesses, one of the biggest remaining challenges was the lack of sales adequate to jump-start employment growth. In the 2010 edition of the Small Business Economy, the Office of Advocacy reviews the overall economic environment for small businesses in the year 2009. The American Express Open Small Business Monitor found that 55% of entrepreneurs were optimistic about the future of their businesses in September 2009, up 10% from earlier in the year. The report also documents longer term trends, including small business demographics and benefits.

The two proposals are "Interpretation of OSHA's Provisions for Feasible Administrative or Engineering Controls of Occupational Noise" and "Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements" for recording work-related musculoskeletal disorders, which include repetitive stress injuries. OSHA's proposed rule was discussed at the Office of Advocacy's labor safety roundtable in November; OSHA has pledged to conduct additional stakeholder outreach before proceeding.

Advocacy Listens AN - 851771482 AB - Recently, there has been a lot of talk about federal regulations -- by politicians, media pundits, think tank experts -- all weighing in on the topic. Despite all the talk, if you're a small business owner, it could start to feel like nobody is listening to you, even though small businesses are the key to a successful economy. While they're an engine of economic growth, small businesses pay 36% more than big business when it comes to federal regulations. At Advocacy, every day they listen to small business and advocate on their behalf. The President's regulatory approach emphasizes listening to small business, builds on the best practices of the past, and allows for the flexibility necessary to tackle the challenges of the future.

The executive order directs federal agencies to enact procedures to review significant regulations on a regular basis in order to identify and revise those that have become outmoded, insufficient, ineffective, or excessively burdensome. Advocacy's research shows that small businesses with fewer than 20 employees spend 36% more than larger firms to comply with federal regulations. For 30 years, Advocacy has monitored federal agencies' compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, working with small businesses to reduce their outsized regulatory burden.

The comments followed an Advocacy roundtable with representatives of small and medium-size broadband providers. Advocacy urged the FCC to examine how the specific challenges competitive broadband providers face in the market affect the availability of high-quality, affordable broadband access for small business consumers. Advocacy stressed that it is crucial for the FCC to adopt policies that maximize the US' existing network infrastructure and encourage further innovation and investment in broadband infrastructure and services.

The study, entitled The Impact of Broadband Speed and Price on Small Business, was written by Columbia Telecommunications Corp under contract with Advocacy. The survey revealed many aspects of businesses' Internet usage, high-tech attitudes, and needs. Small businesses want both competition and choice in Internet service. Approximately one-third of small businesses surveyed indicate a need for broadband service requiring greater capacity networks than currently exist in many locations in the US. The authors' analysis of the broadband market found that very little, if any, competition exists.

DOL's proposal changes the methodology for establishing the prevailing wage rate for H-2B workers. DOL is proposing to move to a single-tier system. Advocacy's comment letter cited deficiencies in the agency's initial regulatory flexibility analysis. Advocacy believes the analysis does not adequately capture the number of small entities affected by this rule or its economic impact on them, and it does not include any significant alternatives to the rule.

In addition to extensive tax relief for small businesses and enhanced SBA loans, the law strengthens small businesses' ability to compete for contracts, promotes small business exporting, and helps community banks put low-cost capital into the hands of small businesses. The Small Business Jobs Act also has several provisions which directly affect the Office of Advocacy.

Small business representatives fear the move would discourage small business participation in a program that has been highly successful at promoting safe and healthy workplaces. Advocacy discussed OSHA's proposed rule with small business representatives and recommended that OSHA maintain the "wall of separation" between the On-Site Consultation program and its enforcement program, better explain why the proposed rule is needed, and clarify the circumstances that would trigger inspections under the proposed rule.

AN - 820650031 AB - It wasn't so long ago that the role of small business in the US economy was heavily debated - and whether it even had a significant role was not universally accepted. As a former small business owner, and now as chief counsel for advocacy, the author is pleased that small businesses are finally being given their rightful due. Not only do they create the lion's share of net new jobs, they generate about half of GDP and employ about half of the workforce. Above all, they are a catalyst of economic and social progress. In October, Advocacy brought together academics, public policymakers, and small business owners to explore job creation in the economy. The event was called "High-Impact Entrepreneurship Outlook: Finance and Innovation Create Jobs." The overall view of the Jobs Symposium participants is that the private-public partnership is required for small businesses to succeed and hence create jobs.

In 1996, Congress amended the RFA to include Judicial review as part of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA). Since the passage of SBREFA, scores of RFA cases have been filed. The most recent reported case that raised an RFA claim is Council Tree Communications Inc v. Federal Communications Commission. The case involved some of the rules that governed the participation of small wireless telephone service providers in auctions of electromagnetic spectrum conducted by the FCC.

Part of Advocacy's mandate was explicitly to measure the direct costs and other effects of government regulation on small businesses; and make legislative and non-legislative proposals for eliminating excessive or unnecessary regulations of small businesses. The White House Conference recommendations, supporting earlier calls for action and the findings on Capitol Hill, helped form the impetus for the passage, in 1980, of the Regulatory flexibility Act (RFA). The Office of Advocacy was charged to monitor agency compliance with the new law. As agencies adjust their regulatory development processes to accommodate the requirements of the RFA and the EO, the benefits will continue to accrue to small firms.

In the 2010 edition of The Impact of Regulatory Costs on Small Firms, Nicole Cram and W. Mark Cram find that the cost for firms with fewer than 20 employees to comply with regulations is now $10,585 per employee, up from $7,647 in the 2005 report. The authors estimate the cumulative cost of federal regulations at $1.75 trillion. Small firms continue to be disproportionately affected by the cost of regulations. Compliance with environmental regulations costs the smallest firms 364% more than large ones.

The panel was moderated by Jeffrey Lubbers of American University's Washington College of Law. Lubbers raised several issues for discussion including the meaning of "significant," "substantial," and "small," for purposes of RFA analyses, the ongoing discussion regarding whether indirect impacts, in addition to direct impacts, should be considered during regulatory analyses; as well as the use of small business regulatory review panels. David Frulla of Kelley, Drye & Warren LLP, discussed the impact that litigation can have on the RFA, noting that rarely is regulatory flexibility legislation alone a silver bullet.

They address some of the more challenging parts of rule analysis, as well as areas that are commonly misunderstood. The questions are: 1. What is the difference between direct and indirect impact? 2. Define substantial number and significant economic impact. 3. Does an agency have to consider a rule's impact on international firms doing business in the US? 4. How soon must an agency notify Advocacy after certifying a rule? 5. Does an agency have to choose the alternative that gives the most relief to small business? 6.

With over 80 agencies and 1,600 employees framed to date, Advocacy's RFA training sessions are making a difference. If there is one thing Advocacy's RFA training sessions stress, it is that coming to Advocacy as early on in the regulatory development process as possible makes a significant difference for small business and makes it easier in the long run for the agency to comply with the RFA.

Rodgers and Johnson described the four basic steps of a regulatory flexibility analysis, which they summed up in four questions: 1. Does the RFA apply? 2. Will there be a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities? 3. What is the potential economic impact of the rule on small entities? 4. What has been done to minimize the adverse economic impact of the rule on small entities? As an agency attempts to determine what a proposed rule's impact on small businesses is, Advocacy is available to help.

Moderator Neil Eisner, assistant general counsel for regulation and enforcement at the US Department of Transportation, opened the discussion with the question, "Is the RFA a success?" Eisner noted that the RFA was a success at the agency because for all important rules that go before the secretary. Panelist Nicole Owens, director of regulatory management at EPA, stated that the small business input in the SBREFA panel process before the rule is published has resulted in significant rulemaking improvements at EPA, such as small business exemptions or phased-in compliance dates.

SBREFA panels are definitely helpful. First and foremost, the panels force the agencies to consider the real world costs and implications of their rules on small business. For small business, the panels give them direct access to the agency decision-makers and the opportunity to explain how regulations will affect them. Most small entity representatives report having a favorable experience working with the panel, and nearly all think the process is beneficial.

The RFA has continued to evolve. In 1996 Congress revisited the RFA and passed amending legislation, the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), which gave the RFA "teeth." Bolstered by SBREFA, the RFA has become a powerful tool for small business advocates. With it, the Office of Advocacy has worked with federal agencies to secure billions of dollars of regulatory cost savings for small businesses and has helped create a regulatory landscape that puts small businesses on an equal footing with their larger competitors.

Global Entrepreneurship and the United States, by Zoltan Acs and Laszlo Szerb, constructs a multifaceted tool for measuring and comparing countries' overall entrepreneurial health. The tool, called the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index, allows the comparison of 71 countries' entrepreneurial performance over a decade. The index reveals that the US is among the world leaders in startup skills. The US' apparent weaknesses are the tech sector, the lack of cultural support for entrepreneurship, and the lack of high-growth business.

Sargeant brings expertise in high-tech industry, research, and government to the job of chief counsel, and he is an entrepreneur himself. Sargeant sees the entrepreneurial spirit as uniquely American - a path to wealth and job creation, as well as a way of improving people's lives. As chief counsel, Sargeant leads Advocacy's operations. These include conducting research on the US small business sector, advocating for small businesses within the federal government's agencies and rulemaking processes, reaching out to regional and state small business advocates and policymakers, and fostering public awareness of small business contributions and concerns.

Foremost among these is a final rule amending the existing regulations implementing the ADA's Title III, which sets standards for making buildings accessible for people with disabilities. The final rule adopts the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, a comprehensive set of new accessibility requirements that apply to public accommodations. The 2010 standards also adopt new design requirements for recreational facilities, including swimming pools, playgrounds, golf courses, amusement rides, and boating facilities. Title III requires existing facilities to remove barriers that conflict with these standards when such modifications are "readily achievable."

Without them, buildings would not be built and small businesses would not be able to occupy their lease spaces. This article will shed light on this "behind the scenes" industry to help small business owners and their counselors better understand both the direct impacts and the indirect impacts . Construction bonds and or contracts bond refer to a category of bonds. These types of bonds involve contracts that delineate specifics of a project. Both are agreements between three entities or people. Principals are those who execute the project, often a construction company. Those who have the work done for them are called obligees. Governments frequently act as obligees when they contract companies to do road work or build on government property. Then there is the surety agency. As a neutral party, the surety is responsible for enforcing the contract.

The Office of Advocacy represents small businesses in the regulatory process, so it was very interesting to see how these small businesses operate and how federal regulations affect them.

Businesses' use of credit varies by industry. Firms that use neither bank nor trade credit are primarily found in the service sector or wholesale and retail track sectors. Firms that use trade credit tend to be larger and more liquid, but they also have lower credit scores. Small businesses that use bank credit are larger, younger, and less liquid. The study highlights the fact that trade credit and bank lending are complementary in nature, with a large segment of business owners utilizing both sources of funding.

Meanwhile, the Kauffman Foundation has just released the Kauffman index of entrepreneurial activity showing that the number of US business startups launched in 2009, the third year of the current recession, reached record highs -- exceeding the number of startups during the peak 1999-2000 technology boom. Unfortunately, much of this is necessity entrepreneurship. The bulk of these self-employed do not and will not hire workers. In other words, high-impact entrepreneurship appear to be on a long-term decline.

Higher education levels are found to contribute to the overall desirability of an labor market area, resulting in parallel growth in the number of entrepreneurs and wage-and-salary workers.

They have numerous tools at their disposal: tax incentives, economic counseling, marketing, promotion. They use these tools to promote or improve their location's desirability for business and investment. A new study published by the Office of Advocacy finds that entrepreneurs create growth across state and county lines. The study finds that entrepreneurial activity tends to concentrate geographically and flow across county lines. As this report shows, a regional approach to economic growth could provide benefits for all.

Roundtable participants discussed the scope, complexity, and cost of the proposed rules. Under the rulemakings, large boilers that burn oil, coal, or biomass would have to install new emission control equipment, perform regular boiler tune-ups, and conduct a one-time "energy audit." The roundtable also focused on EPA's effort to reduce the burdens of the rule on small business. EPA will take public comment on these proposed rules for 45 days, starting from the date of their publication in the Federal Register.

The nine species proposed for listing are four species of pythons, four species of anacondas, and the boa constrictor. On April 21, Advocacy hosted a roundtable attended by members of the small business communities potentially affected by the proposed rule. At the roundtable, individuals that breed and sell exotic varieties of pythons and boa constrictors expressed their concerns that the rule would shut down their businesses and jeopardize their livelihoods. They contend that restricting interstate transport of these snakes will greatly reduce the value of their current stock and make continued investment in them unsustainable.

The latest US Census Bureau data (2002) indicate that 14.5% of all business owners were veterans, and 7% of this group were service-disabled. Census also found that 12.2% of all firms were veteran-owned. If these percentages remained the same in 2009, this means that there were about 3.6 million veteran-owned firms last year, of which perhaps 250,000 were owned by service-disabled veterans. Advocacy commissioned a special tabulation of unpublished Census data to provide information on the location of veteran business owners by state.

Ron Katznelson, representing Bi-Level Technologies, a California-based technology business, argued that the change to the first-inventor-to-file system would put small businesses at a competitive disadvantage because the focus in the patent system would shift the timing of patent filings earlier in the invention process while increasing the required number of filings. Attorney Mike Messinger echoed many of Katznelson's concerns in his presentation, stating that small firms simply want quality patents and are willing to pay for them through higher fees if needed. Many small business representatives in attendance agreed that this compromise solution would lessen the potential negative impact on small businesses.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the overall employment of cleaning personnel is projected to increase by 4%, more slowly than the average for all occupations. Many new cleaning service-related jobs are expected in healthcare, however, as this industry is expected to grow rapidly. Employment of maids and housekeeping cleaners is also expected to increase more slowly than the average, growing by 6% from 2008 to 2018.

Online marketers propose at least three methods that can help customers find your business. In the process called Search Engine Optimization, the online marketing companies promise that they know what to tell Google to keep your name at the top of the list so that customers can find you. Another method involves strategically embedding your product or service information in online texts or Internet sites so that potential customers can click on it and find your Web site. A third approach recommends taking advantage of social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook to increase exposure to potential customers. Keep your users interested by integrating new elements to your Web site or giving it a drastic makeover.

The rule by the Federal Acquisition Council (FAR) revises the retainage clause applied to federal contracts for A&E services, which mandated that 10% of fees be withheld or retained from a firm, regardless of the firm's history of performance. The final rule also makes several related editorial changes, including one that clarifies that the contractor will be paid any unpaid balance, including withheld amounts, at the successful completion of the work.

One examines workers and retirement plans; the other focuses on business owners. Workers in small firms with fewer than 100 employees are much less likely than those in larger businesses to have a retirement plan available to them, according to Small Business Retirement Plan Availability and Worker Participation by Kathryn Kobe. In a related working paper, Saving for Retirement: A Look at Small Business Owners, advocacy economist Jules Lichtenstein analyzes the retirement savings behavior of business owners, and finds that retirement account ownership, contribution, and participation rates for all business owners are low; this is especially true of micro-business owners.

Advocacy is concerned that OSHA may have understated the cost and complexity of complying with the rule, especially for small businesses. OSHA's proposed rule would require employers with 10 or more employees to record certain work-related musculoskeletal disorders in their OSHA 300 Log. OSHA certified under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) that the proposed rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. However, based on small business concerns, Advocacy recommended that OSHA reassess its cost assumptions and RFA certification before proceeding.

A new report from the Office of Advocacy, An Analysis of Small Business and Jobs, visually presents a wealth of background information on the share of small business employment and the different roles of new and fast-growing businesses in shaping the labor market. Advocacy's analysis of the quarterly Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that over the 15 years from 1993 to mid-2008, 31% of net job gains came from the creation and destruction of businesses.

Small business representatives who attended Advocacy's roundtable stated that they strongly support security, but expressed concerns with TSA's approach.

These numbers however, are just the latest in a succession from past years revealing a diminishing growth rate. While consumers have probably seen an end to the days of 20+% growth rates, the stabilization and maturity of this industry will take time and it still has much more room to grow. A savvy business person has the opportunity build a profitable enterprise in these current market conditions if they feel confident enough to weather the inevitable slowing growth rates that are already in effect. While there are several large chains to compete with, there are still countless successful small scale operations, and their continued success in these hard economic times is a sign of very healthy and resistant industry.

Consumers are willing to pay anywhere from $30 to $100 or more a month for contract wireless plans with their carrier of choice. Meanwhile, technology is advancing so rapidly that wireless device manufacturers are constantly producing top of the line devices influencing consumers to keep up with the Smartphone trend. It is estimated that there are over 276 million wireless carrier subscribing customers nationally as of June 2009. This number is an increase of almost 14 million from June 2008. Over the past five years, the Wireless Telecommunications Carrier industry has seen an extreme growth period generating revenue of over $191 billion dollars in 2009. With technology evolving so rapidly, manufacturers are packing as much as they can into Smartphones until they almost seem like mobile computers. The possibilities are virtually endless but some companies are showing glimpses of what is to come.

Professional chefs are leaving their restaurants to open their own trailers. The biggest buyers of foods from mobile vendors are young adults and parents with children at home. Many truck operators are experimenting with new flavors and cuisines not typical of street vendors in order to reach a new clientele. The industry has a variety of mobile operators, though over 91% of revenue for street vendors come from the sale of take-away food and drink for immediate consumption. The industry is heavily concentrated in urban areas, particularly in the central parts of large cities. One of the great benefits of the mobile food business is low start up costs.

The law requires federal agencies to review the economic impacts of their proposed regulations and consider less burdensome alternatives. Congress enacted the RFA almost 30 years ago, prompted by urgent pleas for regulatory relief from the small business community. The law gave small businesses, small nonprofits, and small government entities a much-needed voice in the rulemaking process. Together with Executive Order 13272, the RFA encourages agencies to enact regulations that are more rational without negating the intent of the rules.

EPA's revisions streamline reporting requirements in order to increase overall compliance. EPA's amendments are designed to increase overall compliance by small firms while reducing the regulatory burden on facilities that handle small volumes of oil and have a history of no reportable discharges.

The program allows agricultural employers to hire temporary foreign workers during seasonal or peak times. The Labor Department's proposal reverses many provisions of the final H-2A rule that had been released in December 2008. The 2009 proposal also reinstates the 50% rule, in which employers would have to continue to employ US workers through completion of 50% of the contract work period (even though the employer has brought in an H-2A worker).

The mandate stipulated that 50% of such cargo must be screened by February 2008, and 100% by August 2010. Meanwhile, historically, the US has been the worldwide leader in aviation flight training, serving as the destination of choice for student pilots the world over. Until recently, foreign students wishing to train to be commercial airline pilots came to the US on a J visa issued through the US.

Judy Miller of the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries discussed the IRS penalties to which many small business employers would be subject if Congress did not provide relief from the pension plan funding requirements. Paula Calimafde, from the Small Business Council of America, discussed "interim plan amendments." Interim amendments are the annual amendments that the IRS requires to keep a pension plan compliant with changing laws and rules between dates when the plan is fully restated.

The Small Business Administration and the Office of Advocacy are both tuned into these related issues: the SBA as an important source of loan guarantees, and the Office of Advocacy as a key source of research and analysis on small business lending. Small business owners and representatives from the lending community urged Congress to continue funding to extend SBA's 90% guarantee and the reduction of fees on SBA 7(a) and 504 loans.

And to make or evaluate policies you need information. While the previous century's data collection agencies focused more on characteristics of the labor force, this century has seen an influx of data on the businesses that employ - and unemploy - the labor force. Two relatively new data sources from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) illustrate this trend: the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, and the Business Employment Dynamics, or BED, program. These two relatively timely data sources offer insight into the employment maturation that takes place inside businesses.

To date, few studies have been conducted of the economic effects of these call-ups on employers, in part because few of these large-scale activations occurred prior to the 1990s. Since 2003, however, thousands of military reservists have been called to active duty. A new Advocacy-sponsored study by SAG Corp, An Analysis of the Effect of Reserve Activation on Small Business, analyzes the effects of call-ups on employers using data from the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Center, matched to Dun & Bradstreet's private data source on employers.

The data cover the overall state picture, including the total number of businesses, business turnover, workforce characteristics, and bank lending. They also provide information on industry distribution and their role in the state's job base. Many of the states with the largest shares of their 2008 employment in small firms also generated the largest increases in jobs on the eve of the economic decline in 2008. Of course, many factors are likely to have influenced the employment picture in 2008. Exceptions to these patterns included Texas, the District of Columbia, and Massachusetts.

The article reviews and analyzes some of the aspects of Recovery Act that are directly related to small business and some ideas of how all small businesses can benefit from these stimulus funds. There are lot of venues for small businesses to reap benefits if they focus on the impact of these available resources on the US economy and specifically creation of 'Green Jobs' and the industries associated with it. Green industries are defined as being comprised of industries that provide products or services in mainly five areas: 1. agriculture and natural resource conservation, 2. clean transportation and fuels, 3. increased energy efficiency, 4. pollution prevention and environmental cleanup, and 5. renewable energy production.

The potential effects on small business are numerous. One of the primary means of combating the spread of flu is by segregating sick people from those who have not contracted the virus. Small businesses should anticipate high levels of absenteeism as a necessary measure to prevent the spread of illness. At a hearing on September 9, the House Small Business Committee examined the potential challenges the H1N1 flu could pose for small businesses and, in turn, how any potential disruption may affect the flow of commerce.

According to IBIS World, advertising agencies are the largest customer for graphic design services and make up about 40% of the industry's revenue. According to Hoovers Inc, the US graphic design services industry includes about 16,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $8 billion. Regarding the competitive landscape in the industry, Hoovers Inc states that regional economic activity drives demand, because most graphic design firms are small and work locally. There are many creative ways to promote the graphic design business, such as word of mouth which is crucial, a business card, social networking, a newsletter, post cards or even emails. As technology continues to evolve within this industry there is a positive outlook for graphic designers who have experience in using the Internet for their projects.

The four students are joining their current Mercatus Regulatory Studies Fellow, Anna Rittgers, as researchers and advocates working on behalf of small business. Jesse Chang, a third-year law student, joined Advocacy's Interagency Affairs team due to his interest in protecting small businesses and their employees, as well as his previous experience as an intern in the Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. Second-year law student Julia Seider's interest in Advocacy's inter-agency affairs work stems from a class she took last year that focused on the Administrative Procedure Act. The Office of Advocacy provides a strong internship program to help train the next generation of small business economic researchers and regulatory experts.

The symposium launched Small Business in Focus: Finance, the first in a new Advocacy series examining small business topics in depth. One of the research tasks outlined in Advocacy's 1976 authorizing legislation was to "study the ability of financial markets and institutions to meet small business credit needs." Ou described the challenge of compiling data on small business finance. Small business financing is delivered in thousands of segmented markets - some national or regional, and most local.

Released recently and produced by the Office of Advocacy, it is intended to inform policymakers of the state of small businesses in America. Since the mid-1990s, small businesses have accounted for 64% of net new employment. Although many positive signs have indicated that the economy is beginning to improve and recover, at the end of 2008 America was experiencing one of the largest quarterly drops in GDP since the Great Depression. Small businesses have been the key to economic recovery in the past, and likely will be in this recession. With the focus of the economy shifting out of the financial and housing sectors, and toward health care and green energy, innovative entrepreneurs have great opportunities, while established small businesses have a chance to grow.

The Office of Advocacy defines a small business for research purposes as an independent business having fewer than 500 employees. Continuing firms accounted for 68% of net new jobs, and the other 32% reflect net new jobs from firm births minus those lost in firm closures. An estimated 627,200 new employer firms began operations in 2008, and 595,600 firms closed that year. Small businesses employ just over half of US workers. Of 119.9 million nonfarm private sector workers in 2006, small firms with fewer than 500 workers employed 60.2 million and large firms employed 59.7 million. Commercial banks and other depository institutions are the largest lenders of debt capital to small businesses. Of the 23 million nonfarm businesses in 2002, women owned 6.5 million businesses, generating $940.8 billion in revenues, employing 7.1 million workers, and paying $173.7 billion in payroll.

In 2007, according to Information Resources Inc, the four top-selling labels comprised approximately 87% of jerky and 97% of dried meat snack sales in supermarkets and drugstores. Predictably, many of the same brands possess the strongest distribution relationships with convenience stores. A 2009 Convenience Store Decisions Brand Preference surveyed key personnel throughout 87 convenience store chains. The traditional jerky consumer, as captured by Nielsen Consumer Panel purchase data, is a man between the ages of 35 and 54, who works in a blue-collar profession and earns between $50,000 and $70,000 annually.

That is because amid the mountain of previously disappointing economic statistics, small businesses provide some interesting contrasts. While recent job losses are widespread, small businesses' historical overall rate of net job creation makes them a key player in solving the labor market woes. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that nonfarm, private sector employment peaked in December 2007 at 115.8 million then fell to 109.5 million by May 2009. During this period, job losses from mass layoffs numbered 3.6 million, up 66% over the preceding 18 months. When considering small business employment, remember that there are two kinds of small businesses: those without employees (or non-employer businesses), and those with paid employees (or employer businesses).

To reduce the burden on small businesses, Advocacy recommended that FWS consider exercising its discretion to exclude the 16,725 acres of small business-owned farmland that would be taken out of production as a result of this critical habitat designation.

On who or what influenced his career choice, he said it happened by accident. His father wanted him to study commerce to help him run his grocery store after high school; he had a successful grocery store in their town. He went to college instead of taking a job offer from the Bank of Taiwan. It must have been a disappointment for his father. After finishing college, he had one job offer from a big bank and another offer as an assistant instructor at his alma mater. Collecting small business financial information is and will continue to be a challenge. They are losing one of the most important databases for small business financial research -- the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Small Business Finances.

Future industry growth will be spurred by the 77 million Baby Boomers planning to retire over the next two decades. Competition in the assisted living industry is very high. The four largest ALF providers in the US, made up only 13% of the market share in 2009. The type of care and services that ALFs are able to provide is determined on a state-by-state basis. Approximately seven out of every 10 people who live in an ALF must depend on their personal wealth or that of their family to pay for their services. The growing popularity of ALFs is prompting many states to expand the scope of Medicaid, in an attempt to help individuals pay for the high costs of living in retirement communities.

The $1 trillion industry includes publishers and printers of newspapers, books, magazines and other materials. Internet, e-books, electronic editing and emergence of online subscription business models have all irreversibly changed the publishing landscape. Key factors wielding an influence on the world publishing market include favorable economic conditions, lifestyle trends, population growth, purchasing power, ethnic diversity and age composition, education standards and foreign trade. Book publishers these days are dealing with changes as major as the invention of the printing press, a machine which may be headed for the ash heap of history.

The study finds that for the year that ended in June 2008, the total value of small business loans outstanding increased 4% and the value of microbusiness loans outstanding increased 6.8%. The report ranks lenders on their overall small business lending, not lending under SBA programs. It uses the most recent Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income data for June 2007 to June 2008 and Community Reinvestment Act data for 2007 to examine financial institutions' small and microbusiness lending.

One bright spot in the first quarter was positive growth in consumer spending. Federal policymakers have remained active in trying to combat the recession. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed by President Obama on February 17, provides $787 billion in stimulus to the economy. The consumer price index rose an annualized 2.2% during the quarter, but the country has experienced moderate deflation since March 2008. Producer prices fell by an annualized 7.3%, as price cuts became widespread. Small business owners and the public remained pessimistic. Poor sales and access to credit are major issues for small business owners.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released a proposed rule implementing Title II of GINA, prohibiting employment discrimination based on genetic information. Title II prohibits employers from using genetic information to make employment decisions, such as hiring, firing, or compensation. Title II also requires that employers keep genetic information confidential and separate from personnel files. It must be stored with other medical or ADA files. The Office of Advocacy is concerned that small employers may have a difficult time implementing these complex regulations. In a comment letter sent April 24, Advocacy recommended that the EEOC clarify the definitions, prohibitions, and exceptions in the rule.

A 2007 telephone survey conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons found that a sizeable portion of the 50-plus population (34%) has engaged in some preplanning for a funeral or burial, and just under a quarter of individuals ages 50-plus (23%) have prepaid at least a portion of funeral or burial expenses for themselves or someone else. Planning your own funeral arrangements can be a thoughtful and considerate way to ease the burden on your family. You can find the best prices, make sensible decisions, and discourage emotional overspending on elaborate arrangements that family members might be tempted to purchase in their bereavement. Many funeral providers offer various "packages" of commonly selected goods and services that make up a funeral. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing and efficient operations because local demand is relatively fixed. Word-of-mouth marketing is often considered one of the oldest and most powerful forms of advertising.

Average rates range from 13.3% for sole proprietorships to 26.9% for S corporations. Exceptions to the normal statutory tax rates, such as deductions, exclusions, and credits, have the effect of lowering the tax rates paid by firms. The result is a difference between the statutory rate and the actual or effective rate paid by the business or its owners.

About two-thirds of workers get their first job in small firms; thus small firms train much of the workforce. Training is a particularly important topic at this time. The recession, high unemployment rate, and decline in self-employment have important implications for how small businesses train and retrain the workforce and whether entrepreneurs can start businesses and create jobs. The recently enacted stimulus package includes $4.5 billion in additional monies for job training.

And with more job losses as the economy slips into recession, more women may be looking for ways to balance family life and financial necessity. Tami Gurley-Calvez, Katherine Harper, and Amelia Biehl set out to examine data about self-employed women's use of their time, in comparison with men and with women wage-and-salary workers.

Real exports, which had been a bright spot in previous quarters, declined nearly 20% (annualized) as the global recession weakened demand for US products. Real imports fell 15.7%. The US lost 2.97 million jobs in 2008, more than half of them in the fourth quarter. Unemployment rose to 7.2% in December. According to the National Federation of Independent Business's monthly survey, small business owners' top concern was poor sales. Respondents indicated that the next three months were not a good time to hire and that they may even be likely to layoff workers. The effects of inflation earlier in the year were reversed, with the consumer price index falling at an annualized 12.7% to return to its 2007 level. Much of this deflation was the result of dramatic declines in oil prices.

The lack of current data by firm size makes it difficult to say anything about the number of firms that have either closed or opened. But the sketchy information about the current business cycle presents only a partial picture and leaves many questions unanswered. Looking forward from this recession, more entrepreneurship taking place is expected; indeed, it may help lead the economic turnaround. From the long view, today's pain is felt at a low point of an economic cycle in which small firms play a critical role.

With climate change and pollution becoming a greater concern and oil prices becoming increasingly volatile, solar energy acts as a promising alternative that is both clean and renewable. Although the use of solar energy, or photovolataics, is not as widespread in the US as it is in Europe, the industry is undoubtedly growing. The US has currently moved up the ranks to the third biggest market for solar panels in the world trailing behind only Japan and Germany. According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the US has some of the best resources to sustain solar energy in the world. By the end of 2007, the US had generated approximately 3,400 megawatts of solar electricity. The future is bright for the solar energy and photovoltaic industry despite the harsh economic climate. Demand for solar energy is trending upward, prices are trending downward and government and big business have boarded the bandwagon.

Between 1975 and 2002, the number of women with preschool aged children who were working outside the home rose by 39%. In 2002 the US Census Bureau estimated that 34.9% of the total children under the age of 5 had non relative care and 22.7% were in organized care faculties. The estimated number of day care establishments in the US totals almost 150,000 with estimated annual sales of over $20,600 million. The increase in the number of single working parents and couples in which both parties work has loaned itself to a new trend in the day care industry. Corporate America is adding child care to their employee benefits. As many as 73% of companies with $1 billion or more in revenue provide some kind of child care benefits.

The Report on the Regulatory Flexibility Act, FY 2008 explains how Advocacy worked with federal agencies to secure these cost savings for small businesses. Advocacy continues to work with these and other agencies on a host of rules that have significant small business impacts. Progress on these ongoing efforts is also described in the report. The report also documents an important state-level initiative that is an outgrowth of the RFA's success. Advocacy's state model legislation initiative has led to the enactment of several state-level regulatory flexibility laws and executive orders.

Advocacy's comments reflected concerns raised by small businesses and their representatives over the scope and complexity of the proposed rule. While all small business representatives support the training and qualification of crane operators, others raised a number of concerns, including the provision that would require crane operators be certified by third-party entities. Advocacy's comments also reflected concerns over the "controlling entity" provisions in the proposed rule and recommended that OSHA clarify the definition of "construction" under the rule and exempt equipment used solely to deliver materials to a construction site.

The Federal Reserve has promised to rely on another important finance survey, its tri-annual Survey of Consumer Finances, to collect business financial information. The Survey of Consumer Finances provides high quality household wealth data for the US. One advantage of collecting business financing data from the Survey of Consumer Finances will be a better understanding of the uses of household assets and debts for business purposes.

Small Business Matters AN - 227349414 AB - The Office of Advocacy is about small business research and advocacy; but sometimes the key message gets lost in technical topics and legal intricacies. The Office of Advocacy's story is simple. Small business matters. Congress created the Office of Advocacy because small business is so important; yet when it comes to regulation and policymaking, small business is at a disadvantage. This is where the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) comes in. It's Advocacy's big stick to wave at federal rulemaking agencies. The RFA requires agencies to listen to the small business message - that they are important and that things cost more for them. This year's Report on the Regulatory Flexibility Act, FY 2008 shows that agencies are listening to Advocacy's message and that they are taking it to heart.

The report analyzes a database of 1,293 small and large technology firms and more than one million patent records between 2002 and 2006. Not only do all small firms (those with fewer than 500 employees) obtain more patents per employee than larger firms, but the relationship seems to hold for all size classes. The authors found that during the period studied, small firms made up 40% of all firms with 15 or more patents.

President Bush signed the ADA Amendments Act into law in September, and the Act takes effect on January 1, 2009. The ADA defines a "disability," in part, as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity of an individual. The ADA amendments will shift the focus of litigation from whether an employee is disabled to whether there was discrimination in the workplace. Under the FMLA, employers with 50 or more employees are required to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, or for a serious health condition.

The new rule imposes flight restrictions on aircraft operating in and around the national capital area. Flight restrictions for the Washington, DC, area were first imposed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sep 11, 2001. FAA's final rule creates a smaller restricted airspace than was originally imposed. The final rule reduced the size of the restricted area by approximately 1,800 square miles, removing some 33 small airports and helipads from the regulation.

In qualitative terms, they are the expression and fulfillment of individuals' determination to succeed; they are a path to the American Dream. Despite their accomplishments and contributions to the economy, they all share one thing as a result of their size: they are at a disadvantage in the realm of federal policymaking. Small entities lack the economies of scale that make everything from office supplies to warehouse space more affordable for large businesses. The US economy is composed of a handful of big businesses -- only a few thousand firms have over 500 employees -- and these big firms generate about half of US economic activity.

The result is more jobs, more growth, more income, and ultimately more tax receipts than would otherwise be expected. While immigration policy has been argued in Washington and state capitals across the country, until now there has been no broad study of business formation rates and performance among the immigrant population. Successful entrepreneurship requires hard work, discipline, and the ability to take risks with everything the owner has.

Green construction means that a building uses less energy, conserves renewable resources and contains fewer toxic materials. What this means for construction cost is a higher initial cost with long term energy savings over the life of the building. By 2010, 50% of all builders will produce at least some homes using green methods. The percentage of green residences and commercial buildings constructed this year will still come to only about 2% of the total homes built, according to the report by McGraw Hill Construction and the National Association of Home Builders. By 2010, between $29 billion and $57 billion a year will be spent on green building, up from $11 billion in 2006, a rise of 10%.

This exemption benefits many small cable systems that may have been negatively affected by the "dual carriage" requirement, including those that serve hard-to-reach areas. Advocacy met with various small cable representatives in September 2007 to craft alternative methods of achieving the FCC's goal of ensuring a smooth transition while minimizing the potential negative impact that this rule may have on small cable systems.

He feels blessed to have had the trust, confidence, and support of small businesses throughout the US to advocate on their behalf in state capitals and in Washington, DC. The chief counsel's position is similar to any counsel's job: to be a mouthpiece. In his case, the Office of Advocacy was a megaphone. Through research on job creation, innovation, business wealth and survival, and the barriers that impede economic growth, the Office of Advocacy added data and analysis to the stories told by men and women small business owners. Their success in voicing the views of small business through the megaphone that is the Office of Advocacy has always depended on the activism of the small business community.

Two factors led to the increase in output in the second quarter -- higher consumption, perhaps assisted by economic stimulus checks, and a dramatic increase in real exports. Americans remain pessimistic on the economy, as reflected by both the National Federation of Independent Business's optimism index and the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey. The unemployment rate in June rose to 5.5%, its highest point since July 2004. Moreover, the US economy has lost jobs each month so far in 2008, with 412,000 fewer nonfarm payroll jobs in June 2008 than December 2007.

The first goal is to help federal agencies do a better job meeting their responsibilities under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The second goal is to provide a simple way for small businesses to point out existing agency rules that need to be reformed because they may be outdated, duplicative, or no longer needed. Six months after the author announced Advocacy's 2008 r3 2008 Top 10 Rules for Review and Reform, several federal agencies are making initial progress toward taking action on implementing our recommendations.

More and more people are embracing chocolates, some are even incorporating higher-quality treats into their daily routines. As a result, the premium chocolate market grew at an annual rate of 10.5% during the period between 2001 and 2005 compared to a paltry 1.8% of the overall chocolate candy sales. Premium chocolate is far and away the most exciting category in the confectionery segment. Premium chocolate is an acquired taste. This is especially true in the case of the dark chocolate sub-segment that differentiates itself with less sugary, more bitter flavors than conventional confectionary fares. A blessing in disguise is the fact that the gourmet chocolate market stays strong despite the dwindling percentage of US households with children, which threatens the sales prospects of the sugar confections industry as a whole.

These firms are distributed across all industries, and they account for almost all employment and revenue growth in the economy, the study concludes. The study notes that high-impact firms are found across all industries and in all geographic regions. The study finds, with some data limitations, that high-impact firms are not startups but are on average around 25 years old, and that they come in all size classes.

The rule will require renewable fuels such as corn-based ethanol to be added to the gasoline and diesel supplies in the US. The review is being done through a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel, which EPA will convene on July 9. Small business review panels are a required step for draft rules from EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that are anticipated to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Advocacy based its June 11 comments on input from the roundtable. Advocacy commented that although the agency put forth a significant amount of effort in its initial regulatory flexibility analysis, the agency may have underestimated the economic impact on small businesses as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). Advocacy suggested that HUD create a good faith estimate that mirrors the HUD-1 form to prevent consumer confusion and clarify the language on tolerances.

Drawn from over 80 rules nominated by small business owners and their representatives as part of the Regulatory Review and Reform (r3) initiative, the recommendations have been transmitted to the appropriate federal agencies for their action. Changing markets, technology, and competition make it imperative that federal agencies periodically review how their current regulations affect small business. Working with federal agencies and small business owners, the r3 initiative can help lighten that load by streamlining and updating outmoded and ineffective regulations.

Today, consumers aged 18 through 24 represent the fastest growing segment in the industry. College students and business persons alike are conducting their study groups and business meetings at coffee houses. Other trends indicate that as consumers become more health conscious and environmentally aware, they are becoming more concerned about the source of the products they purchase. Many trends have emerged in the coffee industry, such as wireless networks, music selections, cozy couches and other varieties of caffeinated beverages. The market should also keep close eyes on consumers 60+, who are beginning to more regularly consume coffee outside of their homes. Another recent trend is that, since 2006, patrons are conducting more business meetings at coffee houses, which offer faster and more comfortable service than many restaurant-style meetings.

An especially notable development is the introduction of House Bill (HB) 368 in Louisiana by Representative Rickey Nowlin. This legislation, creating the Regulatory Flexibility Act, requires agencies to perform a mandatory economic impact analysis and regulatory flexibility analysis on their proposed rules. Another recent regulatory flexibility development comes from the Texas Attorney General's office. In June 2007, Texas enacted HB 3430, which, among other things, included an economic impact statement requirement as well as a regulatory flexibility analysis requirement.

A research finds that small firm capital structure decisions are more likely to conform to the "pecking order" theory, which says that firms opt first for internally generated funds, then for debt, and only as a last resort, for equity. In contrast, the "trade-off" theory suggests that a firm's capital structure is more related to weighing the tax benefits of tax-deductible interest against the costs of financial distress.

While some "no-matches" might be for unauthorized workers, the vast majority are for US citizens or other authorized employees.

Characterization and Analysis of Small Business Energy Costs, by Andy Bollman of EH Pechan & Associates, found that energy costs as a proportion of total input costs are higher for small businesses. A second study, Human Capital and Women's Business Ownership, found that women are among the fastest growing groups of business owners, and it suggests that this is at least partly due to their gaining an increasing amount of human capital.

Consumer spending rose 1% on an annual basis, the slowest rate since second quarter 2001. The public remains pessimistic about the overall economy. The small business optimism index from the National Federation of Independent Business fell to a record low since 1980 -- 89.6 in March 2008. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index was at its lowest level since February 1992, 69.5. Unemployment was slightly higher than in previous months at 5.1% in March. The Federal Reserve Board lowered interest rates to spur economic activity. The prime rate at the end of March was 5.25% -- down three percentage points from September 2007. Modest inflationary pressures persist. Consumer prices rose an annualized 3.1% in first quarter 2008 and, omitting food and energy costs, the so-called "core" inflation rate increased 2% on an annual basis.

The Independent Office of Advocacy and Small Business Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (S 2902) would guarantee long-term independence of the Office of Advocacy by giving it a separate line item in the federal budget. By establishing a stronger and more independent Office of Advocacy, Senators Snowe and Pryor seek to ensure that federal agencies are more directly responsive to the views and concerns of small businesses and as a result, the businesses will be able to thrive.

According to the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association (AAPMA), an estimated $2.7 billion was spent on grooming and boarding services in 2006 alone. Then again in 2007, the services grew to $2.9 billion. In this industry it is important to be aware of the demographics and the new trends that develop year to year in order to stay up with the times and accurately identify one's customers and potential customers. With an estimated 74.8 millions dogs in the US this is evidence that pets are a big part of the lives of Americans. According to the 2007-2008 APPMA National Pet Owners' survey, many pet owners spend an average of $127 on grooming and grooming aids.

From east to west -- Massachusetts to Hawaii -- regulatory flexibility is becoming an increasingly important concern for state leaders trying to preserve healthy state economies. Since the Office of Advocacy's State Regulatory Flexibility Model Legislation Initiative was introduced in 2002, it has been an effective vehicle to help states understand the importance of regulatory flexibility. Other states that have introduced regulatory flexibility legislation in 2008 are Iowa (SF 2227) and Kansas (HB 2827 and SB 579). Three states, Illinois (HB 302), Ohio (HB 285), and Massachusetts (SB 2413), are considering legislative proposals that were introduced in 2007 and carried over into the 2008 legislative session.

The list was drawn from over 80 rules nominated by small business owners and their representatives in response to Advocacy's Regulatory Review and Reform initiative. Section 280A(c)(1) of the IRS code permits taxpayers to deduct expenses for a home office if it is the principal place of business of the taxpayer, or used exclusively for business, or used to meet with patients, clients, or customers.

The 2008 Top 10 rules were chosen on the basis of several factors: 1. whether the rule could reasonably be tailored to accomplish its intended objectives while reducing the impact on small businesses or small communities, 2. whether the rule has ever been reviewed for its impact on small entities, 3. whether technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed since the rule was originally written, 4. whether the rule imposes duplicative requirements, and 5. overall importance of the rule to small businesses and small communities.

The weaker dollar helped boost real exports, which increased at an annualized 3.9%, while real imports were constant. Consumer spending increased by an annualized 2.0%. The public remained somewhat pessimistic in the fourth quarter according to both the National Federation of Independent Business's optimism index and the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey. Unemployment rose to 5.0% in December 2007, its highest level since April 2005. It was low by historical standards, however. The economy generated 282,000 net new jobs in the fourth quarter, and 1.1 million during the entire year. The Federal Reserve Board lowered its target federal funds rate twice in the fourth quarter of 2007. Inflationary pressures persisted, as the country saw large gains in consumer prices.

In fact, Office of Advocacy research shows that the annual cost per employee for the smallest firms was 45% higher than the cost for large businesses with 500 or more employees. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires Advocacy to monitor agency compliance with the RFA and report to Congress and the President. In future years, the annual RFA report will go even further. While the RFA focuses on rules before they come into being, a little-used but extremely important RFA requirement -- section 610 -- calls on agencies to periodically review the impact of regulations that are already on the books. Through r3, small businesses have identified over 80 rules in need of review and reform, and Advocacy has narrowed the list down to the Top 10. The r3 initiative will only work with small business attention and action.

Its goal is to make Missouri friendly to small business, thereby boosting its economic strength. In this regard, the SBRFB is the nexus of communication between small businesses and state agencies. Through the board, agencies are directed to do several things in the interest of small business. The SBRFB provides an ear and an ally to small businesses experiencing problems related to state agencies. The board has helped a campground owner, an optometrist and an IT company -- all with issues far less dramatic than that of the trucking company but still vexing for the business owners.

OSHA's draft proposal would lower the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for beryllium and mandate new requirements for cleaning and controlling workplace exposure to beryllium. OSHA's proposal would lower the current PEL for beryllium and impose new requirements to control beryllium exposure. However, the small business representatives were concerned that OSHA was relying on insufficient health data and would impose an overly broad regulation on American companies in the face of stiff foreign competition.

According to the American Wine Society, the US' top wine producing states are California, New York, Washington and Oregon respectively. As an economic generator, the wine industry contributes more than $45 billion to the US economy, along with 556,000 jobs accounting for more than $12.8 billion in wages and $3.3 billion in state and local tax revenues. A quick glance at US supermarket wine sales provides a clear picture of the growth trend in upscale wines. Wines priced at $8 and above are showing double-digit increases by volume, according to ACNielsen, which tracks laser-scanning data from 3,000 supermarkets across the country. While the number of large wineries has declined in recent years because of consolidation -- 2004 and 2005 saw many changes, the number of new wineries opening for business continues to increase.

In order to find cleaner alternatives to traditional fuels and to reduce dependence on foreign oil, the US is looking for home-grown energy alternatives to traditional petroleum-based sources. Ninety-seven percent of transportation fuel in the US is currently oil-based, making the transportation sector one of the most oil-dependent sectors -- two-thirds of the oil used in the US is consumed by the transportation industry. Across the US, there are 105 biodiesel manufacturing plants and they are actively marketing biodiesel. The annual production capacity from these plants is 864 million gallons per year. Currently in the US, more than 50% of oil used is imported. One factor that could reduce the nation's dependency on imports would be to increase production of biodiesel.

Testifying before the House Small Business Committee, Cox stated that the Commission's decision to proceed cautiously in deference to small public companies and their investors is due in significant part to the fact that the cost of regulation falls heaviest on small companies.

Today's report shows that overall, small firms continue to drive a resilient US economy, said Moutray. Small businesses continued to drive the economic expansion in 2006. A softening housing market was reasonably contained in the economy's resilience. Small businesses benefited from the federal acquisition of their goods and services. Minority-owned businesses have been increasing as a share of the US economy. Social entrepreneurship has emerged at the nexus of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. In a given year, about 7% of the working age population in the US is actively engaged in efforts to start a business.

The House Small Business Committee unanimously approved the bill, the Small Business Regulatory Improvement Act (H.R. 4458), on December 13. The bill's three RFA improvements will help ensure fair treatment of small businesses in the regulatory process.

Small entities would benefit from an amendment to the RFA that would make these requirements permanent.

EPCRA established the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), which requires companies to make a yearly report to the Environmental Protection Agency of their handling, management, recycling, disposal, and allowable emissions and discharges of listed chemicals. In the years since EPCRA's passage, American businesses have taken unprecedented action to reduce the amount of toxic chemicals used in their plants. Many observers credit the public TRI reporting as the impetus behind these pollution reduction efforts.

Under SBIR, 11 federal agencies are required to reserve 2.5% of their R&D research budget for the program. The Small Business Administration is the statutory coordinating agency for SBIR. It directs the 11 agencies' implementation of SBIR, reviews their progress, and reports annually to Congress on its operation. When SBIR was reauthorized in 2000, Congress mandated that the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council study the program.

"Income and Wealth of Veteran Business Owners," 1989-2004, examines the fortunes of households headed by veteran small business owners. The regression analysis, which controlled for variables such as age, suggested that veteran households generally had lower income than non-veteran households, veteran small business households had higher wealth than veteran non- business households, and veteran small business households had lower wealth than non-veteran small business households. Meanwhile, a second working paper released in October examines small business dynamics, "Small Business Growth: Searching for Stylized Facts." The authors presented the results of their analysis to the US Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies as part of its fall seminar series.

The rule requires employers who receive a letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) indicating that an employee's name and social security number in the SSA database do not match to take certain steps to resolve those discrepancies. After DHS and its Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued the final rule on August 15, the AFL-CIO and other labor groups filed a lawsuit against DHS in federal district court in Northern California.

Earlier this year, Puerto Rico's Department of Health conducted one such review at the request of small business owners and the Ice Manufacturing Association. Puerto Rico's Rule 6090, "Reglamento General de Salud Ambiental," was meant to ensure that commercially produced ice is clean and uncontaminated. In the course of inspecting ice plants, health inspectors would confiscate any bags printed with a company logo and issue fines for rule violations. After a thorough review and receipt of comments from business owners, the Department of Health agreed to modify the regulation to permit printing on one side of a transparent plastic bag, and it eliminated the associated fine.

Under the RFA, federal agencies are required to prepare and make available for public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis for each rule that is expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Office of Advocacy had submitted comments to FAA during the rulemaking process stating that the agency's RFA analysis was improper because it failed to include all of the companies that would be subject to the rule.

While many states have responded with progressive legislation, others have voiced concern over the potential for the judicial review provision of the model legislation to invite litigation. The federal RFA had limited success in curbing excessive regulatory burdens until a judicial review provision was enacted in 1996 under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.

Written by John Hope and Patrick Mackin of SAG Corp, the study determined that each additional year of tenure on a job reduces the probability of turnover by 81%. Another report, The Effect of Wealth and Race on Start-up Rates, by Maritza Salazar of BCT Partners, explores the role of wealth on the likelihood of becoming self-employed. The study shows that net wealth is positively correlated with the probability that a nascent entrepreneur will start a new company if the nascent entrepreneur is in the top 25% of the wealth distribution.

Ninety-seven percent of transportation fuel in the US is currently oil-based, making the transportation sector one of the most oil-dependent sectors -- two-thirds of the oil used in the US is consumed by the transportation industry. Biofuels, especially ethanol and biodiesel, are seen as viable alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel, especially because they can be added to existing fuels through a blending strategy. In 1999, 500,000 gallons were produced. By 2004, 25 million gallons of biodiesel were sold. In 2005, 75 million gallons sold, triple the year before. The National Biodiesel Board estimates that 150 to 250 million gallons will be made this year. The industry continues to look toward scientific advancements in the productivity of producing biodiesel, as well as, research into new feed stocks such as algae or mustard seed.

The independent bookstore sector continues to struggle for market share, sustain brick and mortar stores and implement new technology. While reacting to economic forces and competing recreational diversions, the industry continues to reinvent itself to attract and retain customers. Although the companies above are the industry leaders, independent bookstores are still around and popular with many people because their focus often includes unusual titles and added personal attention to customer service. Bookstores are sought out by a loyal, and often affluent, clientele looking for an experience -- not just a purchase. According to a 2005 study done by the Book Industry Study Group, net revenues in 2004 reached $28.6 billion, which was a 2.8% increase from the year before and is expected to continue to grow 18.3% in the next five years. That is a $49.5 billion dollar market by 2009.

Despite this recent disaster there is only marginal evidence of an increase in disaster recovery planning by businesses that experienced the flood. This finding is consistent with the results of other business-related disaster research. Statistical tests of survey results from 2003 indicate that there is a significantly higher rate of disaster recovery planning in businesses started since the 1997 flood than in businesses started before the flood and still in business. Such an outcome indicates a need for public policy actions emphasizing the importance of disaster planning. Improved disaster planning is an aid to business recovery and the results demonstrate the need for more widespread efforts to improve disaster recovery planning on the part of smaller businesses, even in areas that have recently experienced disasters.

While the importance of public issue markets and venture capital investment in promoting the growth of small dynamic firms cannot be denied, the importance of external equity capital seems to be overstated. Only a very small number of small firms acquired additional external equity capital. It is the internal equity capital, not external, equity, that is one of the major financing sources for most small firms. We found that younger, lower quality firms were more likely to acquire additional internal equity capital than other firms. There appeared to be a 'pecking order' of borrowing from internal sources to traditional lenders to nontraditional lenders. In addition, internal equity capital and debt acquired from traditional and non-traditional lenders appeared to be complementary financial resources.

However, recent theoretical work by Dixit, Grossman, and Gul (2000) postulates that this static analysis of supermajority rules may be inadequate to explain political decisions in a dynamic setting. In fact, supermajority rules may increase the incidence of majority tyranny because of rotating political representation. Using data from US state legislatures we examine the effect of supermajority rules on different categories of government expenditures and tax revenues during the latter half of the 20th century. We find supermajority rules have little effect on general government expenditures and tax revenues. However, supermajority rules are associated with lower public welfare transfers, which supports the traditional analysis of the fiscal effects of supermajority rules.

A Report of the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Labor, National Institute for Literacy and Small Business Administration. AN - 62309392; ED445249 AB - In the workplace of the 21st century, America's workers will need to be better educated to fill new jobs and more flexible to respond to the changing knowledge and skill requirements of existing jobs. Meeting the challenge of employment and training will call for the best efforts of stakeholders and new forms of cooperation and collaboration. With this responsibility comes enormous opportunity. Not only does a better educated and trained work force create significant productivity gains and better bottom line results for American employers, but the more a worker learns, the more a worker earns. Society is responding, and education and training are increasing. Business establishments report providing increased formal education; unions are increasing their commitment to work force education and training; enrollments at community colleges serving an older, employed student body are increasing; and the federal government has made education and training top priorities. Challenges are the cost and scheduling of training for workers; employers' costs for training and fear of losing trained workers; and ability of postsecondary institutions to offer affordable, convenient work-related training. (The final section profiles of 23 promising partnerships and programs around worker training and lifelong learning. Appendixes include 80 endnotes and a 33-item bibliography.)

AN - 214144850; 01348734 AB - The question of when should small- and medium-sized businesses consider using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques is addressed. It is argued that at any stage of business ownership, these new techniques are important to consider. ADR is an umbrella expression that includes a wide spectrum of problem-solving alternatives to traditional litigation. ADR is a management tool that has become increasingly popular in the 1990s. The 3 most important characteristics about ADR include: 1. All ADR processes - except negotiation - use a neutral 3rd party to help settle a dispute outside a formal court of law. 2. ADR can cut direct resolution costs and can increase the speed at which a dispute is settled. 3. All ADR processes - except binding arbitration - produce a binding decision only when both parties agree it is binding. Examples of situations where ADR is an appropriate tool are presented.

This is a big mistake. Marketing is the analysis and strategies business people conduct to create value for their customers, successfully differentiate and position themselves in the marketplace, and profitably present themselves, their products, and their services. Sales is the actual presentation of the company, the products, and the services. Sales is the implementation of marketing ideas. Many business problems cannot be identified or addressed until one has a clear understanding of the distinction between sales and marketing. Scenarios are presented which indicate some of the pitfalls of equating marketing with sales.

Many people who own or operate smaller businesses use personal computers and software to write letters, store customer information, update bookkeeping records, cut payrolls, schedule work or appointments, and design products.

Managing people means managing human processes. There are 4 types of human processes that need the attention of the business managers simultaneously: 1. motivation, 2. team building, 3. communication skills, and 4. conflict management. Understanding the pressures of the front-line personnel and addressing their needs will go far in smoothing out some of the irregularities the company may be experiencing in service quality and in internal operations.

01198642 AB - In order to successfully grow, a business needs to be adaptive - which means that it is flexible enough to manage change. Flexible firms change with the times - and inflexible firms become obsolete. The difference between these 2 types of firms lies in the ability of the founding entrepreneur and the employees to exchange roles. Adaptive firms have entrepreneurs who have become more managerial, while the employees have become more entrepreneurial. The entrepreneur transfers the spirit of innovation and creativity to the employees. At the same time, the entrepreneur's energy shifts from the creative process to the managerial process. Steps in the process that supports the reversal of roles include: 1. The entrepreneur decides to change. 2. Decide to empower employees. 3. Decide to focus on big issues. 4. Create a new reward and incentive program. 5. Have courage to believe in change.

Successful teams are directed and focused by top management. 2. Successful teams have their own identity by establishing their own methods and ground rules. 3. Successful teams are accountable and utilize measurements for guidance and feedback. 4. Successful teams have sponsors and leaders who understand that a nontraditional mindset and skillset and a willingness to venture into uncharted territory are required. 5. If accountability supplies the "tracks" for the team, then trust is the fuel. 6. Teams need to be "fit" into the organization.

Hogan's answers to several financing questions are discussed. Hogan had to line up his own financing for the purchase, and he also had to figure out how to structure the deal and determine if the asking price of $2 million was too high. His financing alternatives are reviewed. Hogan wanted to learn how to structure the deal and determine the value of the business. Some of his financing alternatives include: 1. debt financing, 2. savings, friends, family and credit cards, 3. seller financing, 4. government programs, 5. commercial banks, 6. mezzanine financing, 7. asset-based lenders, 8. forms of equity financing, 9. private investors, and 10. venture capital.

Each party goes into the relationship with certain expectations, and the chances of success really depend on how much these expectations are met. The differences between the franchisee's expectations and the franchisor's expectations are outlined, and 9 areas of conflict that often arise because of these differences are discussed. These areas are: 1. estimates of income and expense, 2. the diversification of products and services, 3. experimentation with alternative retailing methods, 4. advertising strategies, 5. franchisor rights to modify the franchise system, 6. exclusive territories, 7. promotional sales, 8. fee modifications and 9. buy-back clauses.

One day she learned that her uncle had left his business - The Center for Mental Health - to her. Johnson hired a consultant to perform an on-site assessment of her new business on the East Coast. The report from the consultant was not encouraging. According to the consultant, the clinic did not have problems that could not be solved, but it would require strong leadership skills. Karleen decided that she did not want to move to the East Coast, so she decided to hire someone to run the business for her. The question of what she should do next was presented to 6 experts for their advice.

The answer to this question is to make sure the franchise under consideration for purchase offers products and/or services that are on the upside of their respective life cycle. When making these considerations, 3 questions should be answered: 1. Is there a market for the product or service that is sufficient to generate enough profit over a reasonable period of time? 2. Should this business be a franchise or an independent? 3. Of the many franchises offered in this industry, which one is best?

A bank has decided to call a small-business owner's loan because the bank was the only party injecting anything into the business to fund growth. The business owner believes that this is unfair because he has never missed a payment and his business is growing very quickly, with higher profits sure to come. However, both the bank and the business owner realize that there are problems with the business. Also, the business owner has not taken the time to fully understand the type of loan that he received. The problem is that the reasoning for the structure of the loan and its effect were not communicated to the borrower by the bank. Had that happened, both the bank and the borrower would understand that there are no additional funds available from the bank to further the borrower's business. Communication at the time the loan is processed is extremely important.

AN - 214145743; 01067557 AB - An owner of a small business called Photo Mania, discusses how she was able to obtain a start-up loan. She contacted the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and they worked with her to develop a personal financial statement, a business plan, and a loan repayment plan. She took those items to a bank, but they turned her down because she only had 10% of the downpayment for the building she wanted, while the bank wanted her to have 50%. One of the members of the bank's loan review board offered to take her plan to an area "development loan" authority. But that did not work either. So finally, she went to the community block grant board in the city where the building stood. They gave her the loan. Persistence is the key to success.

In Indiana, a non-profit Certified Development Corporation (CDC) called the Evansville Metro Small Business Assistance Corp. was established to promote the growth of small business in the Evansville area. The CDC deals exclusively with small business people who are unable to obtain sufficient financing through conventional channels. Its resources come from government grant programs set up for this purpose. There are about 400 CDCs currently in operation in the US. Three criteria form the basis of a CDC's decision process: 1. character, 2. cash flow, and 3. commitment. The CDCs think more like equity investors than like lenders.

There are basically four options. The business can maintain prices that earn profit margins acceptable to the owners, accountants, bankers, and other advisors. It can maximize total profits by working with thin margins on high turnover and sales volume. It can maximize profits by charging premium prices for providing excellent service and quality to a small market segment. It can copy the competition's price and accept the resulting profit as inevitable. Relevant marginal costs should always be considered when selecting the price. Activity based costing is a new costing tool which makes it easier to identify relevant costs. In a case study, it was determined that ABC allowed the costs associated with manufacturing and sales to be allocated on the basis of the resources used in filling the order.

AN - 214144577; 01067548 AB - A fictional account poses the question of how small businesses can best retain employees. Several experts give their advice. Mary Ann Von Glinow states that financial and status awards do not seem to do much good for highly skilled professionals. Freedom to make the most of their own work decisions and a productive atmosphere are two of the rewards she suggests. Glenna Colclough believes that three basic steps should be taken: 1.a careful selection of employees, 2. a redesigning of employer/manager roles, and 3. a restructuring of the organization involving all employees in the process of change. Charles C. Hinners states that short and long term plans should be assessed. The fringe benefits that the company offers should change as the company grows. Jerry L McAdams believes that management should work in concert to focus all employees on the organization's objectives, enable them to make a difference and reward them when performance improves. Glenn M. Parker writes that cross-functional teams should be developed. Kay Plantes states that a strategic framework should be created. And finally, Roger Pasch encourages managers to keep workers informed about new and exciting developments in the company.

There are four steps used in a process audit: 1. a questionnaire to be filled out by the business owner, 2. an interview with the business owner and key personnel, 3. an intensive observation of the business, and 4. a detailed report and presentation. Owners of businesses with between 10 and 100 employees are most likely to benefit from a process audit. Business owners who are too busy to talk to an advisor are the ones who need this service most.

Before applying, one should check personal and business credit reports for errors and black marks. It is important to correct the errors or provide an explanation for the problems. A cash flow projection should be prepared for the next 12 months if asking for seasonal financing, or longer if asking for a long-term loan. The bank's personal financial statement should be filled out ahead of time, in a careful, neat and detailed manner. The banker must be provided with a functional resume and a business plan, information on employees, and collateral. It is important to do as much of the work as possible because the bank will not do it and the loan may not go through.

The study, Styles of Success, takes a detailed look at the ways in which women and men business owners think and process information, manage their businesses, and define success for themselves and their businesses. The study found that despite the fact that women and men entrepreneurs are alike in many ways that make them distinct from non-entrepreneurs, women and men business owners' modes of thinking are indeed different in several important respects, and their styles of management reflect those differences.

A 6-step relationship marketing approach for prospective business owners involves: 1. contacting sources of information and advice, 2. identifying and visiting comparable firms in other regions, 3. identifying and visiting comparable firms in your same geographic market, 4. establishing relationships with supplier partners, 5. conducting an analysis of your competitors, and 6. conducting an analysis of your customers. Building a business support network before launching a business will greatly increase one's ability to compete. The process of developing relationships, concurrent with evaluating market opportunities, streamlines one's process of choosing one or 2 opportunities to pursue.

The first case involved a business owner who wanted some cash to carry him over until his customers paid him. The 2nd case study concerned a business owner who wanted a loan so he could purchase more raw materials. The 3rd involved a retailer who wanted to expand her store. An examination of these cases shows how to get useful information from cash flow statements. The statement of cash flows has 2 primary advantages: 1. measures cash flows as opposed to accounting flows, and 2. increases and decreases in cash are much easier to understand than net income or net loss.

Roger J. Plachy of the Job Results Management Institute offered the following guidelines: 1. Define the results the job must accomplish. 2. Focus on the work instead of the person. 3. Focus on the results to be achieved. 4. Define why work is important. 5. Define job qualifications. 6. Manage job results. Jim Johnson of White Glove Service Systems Inc. outlined the following aspects of the job description: 1. job identification, 2. job summary, 3. duties to be performed, 4. supervision to be given, 5. relation to other jobs, 6. working conditions, 7. definitions of unusual terms, and 8. comments that add to and clarify the above. Michael W. Mercer of Mercer Group Inc. gave 6 essentials of all effective interviews, emphasizing that when the candidate mentions a choice or change, the interviewer should probe how she came to make that decision.

While the LLC has many positive features, there are also drawbacks. Because the LLC is new, definitive answers cannot be given to all organization questions. The advantages of an LLC are: 1. limited liability for members, 2. acquisition of capital, 3. potential for single taxation status as a partnership, 4. no membership requirements, 5. not limited to one class member, 6. unlimited number of events, and 7. less administrative burden than a corporation. Some disadvantages are: 1. complexity of organizing and operating, 2. sharing control and earnings, 3. uncertainty of legal issues, and 4. not an authorized organization form in all states. If properly structured, an LLC may be an attractive alternative for small businesses currently organized as proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations, and for professional groups organized as partnerships.

The process for developing a computer systems should have the following 7 steps: 1. Determine whether the business needs a consultant or an employee. 2. Select a consultant. 3. Analyze system requirements. 4. Design the system. 5. Code or otherwise implement the system. 6. Make the system operational. 7. Maintain the system. When selecting a consultant, the business owner should remember that cost is an important but not an overriding factor and that the consultant must have people skills needed to elicit cooperation. The following ideas are important in analyzing system requirements: 1. Do not short-change essential needs analysis. 2. Do not delegate responsibility for a project coordination to a staff member unless that person also has the authority to make decisions. 3. Involve all appropriate people in analysis and design. 4. Pay close attention to details. 5. Integrate computer systems. 6. Avoid imposing preconceptions on the project. 7. Remember that indecision blocks system development.

In making any hiring decision, one must first define the expectations of the position, then the characteristics of the person needed to fulfill these expectations. The PIE System (with PIE as an acronym for Profile, Interview, Evaluation) is a complete, closed-loop system that allows nothing to fall between the cracks. In the Profile stage, one must create a list of performance expectations, then develop success patterns and personal characteristics that fit the expectations. There are 2 key questions in interviewing: 1. How does one discover if a candidate meets one's requirements? 2. What exactly does one want to discover? The evaluation form has 3 purposes: 1. to rate the candidate's success patterns and personal characteristics against the Profile, 2. to match the evaluation of one candidate against that of another or others. 3. to compare the evaluations of several people who have interviewed the same candidate.

In family business strategy, family interests usually substantially influence business direction. Strategic decisions reflecting family interests usually make strategy more successful - even if the decisions do not seem best from a purely strategic perspective. Effective advisors to family firms should understand and effective non-family executives should accept the strategic interaction between family and business goals. Effective next-generation family successors must learn to manage that process. Family variables are rarely explicitly stated or even understood. Instead, implicitly they meld together into a family vision for the future. Seven alternative visions a family might imagine are: 1. proprietorship, 2. benevolent dictator, 3. partnership, 4. capitalist, 5. family mission, 6. entrepreneurial launching ground, and 7. as if public.

These business owners are, in part, correct. However, there are also times when problems should be worked on by the business owner and a group of employees. The crucial question is the decision of when to involve employees and when to make the decision alone. There are no hard and fast criteria to determine when others should be involved. However, considering 2 primary factors eases the decision-making process: 1. How does a business owner arrive at the most logical decision based upon the best information available in the time allocated? 2. Is the solution one that people will accept and support? Obstacles are bound to develop in every problem-solving process. Six ways to avoid and overcome barriers are: 1. Clarify goals and criteria. 2. Define the problem. 3. List all possible solutions. 4. Evaluate alternatives. 5. Select a solution and plan implementation. 6. Implement and review.

Drucker. Drucker proposes projecting prices 2 to 3 years into the future and applying savings from the learning curve, to current prices. This method presumes a bankroll large enough to endure the losses suffered from selling below cost. Universal pricing strategies will fail unless they are tempered with understanding. Viable pricing methods depend on many inputs, including theory, experience and even instinct. Investing time in gathering information and understanding the market prior to making a pricing decision is the wisest investment a small business owner can make.

Drucker's approach known as market-based pricing. Market-based pricing has proven useful for smaller firms because it is consistent with a widely-followed small business strategy - niche marketing. There are 2 basic ways in which market-based pricing can be executed, each of which fits with a variation of niche marketing. First, the small business can focus exclusively on a limited segment of the market. In the other approach, the initial price is based on what the lead-user segment of the product is willing to pay. In the final analysis, Drucker's idea of priced-based costing is particularly well-suited for smaller firms in that it fits well with niching and segment-by-segment growth.

ABC uses cost drivers, as opposed to the volume-based cost drivers used in traditional accounting systems. In addition, ABC takes into account the indirect costs that are ignored in most traditional cost accounting systems. While ABC is an alternative that provides additional information, it is important to note that ABC is not a panacea. ABC's strengths and weaknesses must be carefully examined before it is used. A discussion is presented with the purpose of helping businesses make an informed decision when considering what kind of information they would like from their accounting systems. A case study is used to demonstrate ABC procedures and the problems associated with traditional costing information. In addition, the theoretical underpinnings of ABC are considered. Both traditional costing and ABC are applied to a fictitious company and the information that each system produced are compared.

These 2 programs are the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. To qualify for an SBIR or STTR award, a small business owner must first have an idea or invention of interest to the appropriate participating federal agency. An applicant may submit a proposal to the federal agency, then launch the business following notification of an award. The small business owner must meet the following qualifications established by the Code of Federal Regulations: 1. organized for profit, 2. 500 or fewer employees, 3. not dominant in the field of operations in which the small business owner is proposing, 4. principal place of business is located in the US, and 5. at least 51% of the business is owned by US citizens or lawfully-admitted permanent resident aliens.

Even though her business is profitable and her sales are increasing, owner Jan Staple knows she is in a vulnerable position. She knows that she has to increase her customer base. But with all the demands on her time that she is currently juggling, she is not sure how she will be able to take on additional work. Five experts offer their suggestions on how Staple should focus her marketing efforts: 1. Kenneth J. Cook of General Business Consultants Inc., 2. Mark Stover of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 3. Paul Dunn of Northeast Louisiana University, 4. Alfred L. Whiteman of Walpert, Smullian & Blumenthal, and 5. Rachel Sager, another honey packer/distributor. Cook believes that Staple should focus her efforts on the type of client she has already had success with. Dunn offers 4 steps to develop a marketing strategy, while Sager suggests that Staple consider developing a network of regional food distributors.

Kohn's major contentions need to be addressed and the facts sorted from fiction. For example, Kohn asserts that financial incentives are the most important form of incentive. Gerald Graham of Wichita State University found the top 5 motivating incentives were: 1. Manager personally congratulates employees who do a good job. 2. Manager writes personal notes for good performance. 3. Organization uses performance as the major basis for promotion. 4. Manager publicly recognizes employee for good performance. 5. Manager holds morale-building meetings to celebrate successes. Kohn's complaints about the use of rewards and incentive programs are more fiction that fact.

Rewards, like punishment, are extremely effective at producing one thing, and only one thing: temporary compliance. But carrots and sticks are strikingly ineffective at producing lasting changes in attitudes or even in behaviors. Four reasons why incentive plans cannot succeed are: 1. Rewards punish. 2. Rewards rupture relationships. 3. Rewards discourage risk-taking. 4. Rewards undermine interest.

Some incentives work short-term; others work long term. Only long-term, team-building incentives have truly contributed to Solar Press Inc.'s growth. Cash bonuses for top sales, McDonald's coupons for increased production, employee-of-the-month parking, and even free vacations, however, appealing and motivating are all short-term incentives. Important aspects of a company's mission are lost when the focus is on rewards, and the essentials - improvement, innovation, quality, craftsmanship, teamwork, and customer focus - end up secondary to the reward. Unlike short-term incentives that may actually prove counterproductive to morale, long-term incentives tied to company philosophy can prove worthy of the highest employee performance and actually build intrinsic motivation. Company-paid education and training, career advancement opportunities and counseling, open communications, and involvement in decision-making are more than token rewards.

Increasingly, there is a loud voice calling for businesses to clean up their act. Business executives have responded by developing codes of behavior. Establishing codes is not as easy as most people think. According to Denis Collins of the University of Wisconsin, most business owners do it wrong. They photocopy a code that appeals to them and then they distribute in a top-down way. A 4-step process that can help the business owner and his company to create codes of ethics is presented:. 1. Conduct a self examination. 2. Make a commitment to the process. Develop a code of ethics. 4. Continue the process.

AN - 214144747; 00976226 AB - After 7 years as an employee, Dan Kurti is now the new owner of Shadow View Animal Hospital. He has an advantage that many new business owners would envy: he has extensive first-hand experience with his customers, staff, equipment, and facility. However, he has no experience with what he believes is his greatest challenge: terminating the "problem" employee. Five experts offer their advice: authors David H. Bangs, Jr., Rebecca B. Mann, Robert Friedman, Richard J. Pinsker, and Mike Deblieux. Bangs notes that problem employees - employees who exhibit behaviors that hurt or impair business - do not just happen. They are the inevitable result of leaving personnel management to chance, beginning with hiring decisions. Managers want to find ways to help problem employees change their behavior before even thinking about firing them. Mann says that if the owner has done an effective job of counseling and then disciplining the employee, the employee should not be surprised at being terminated. Robert Friedman describes termination as a 7-step process.

If an owner knows the rules and plays by the rules, he can exercise that freedom when he chooses to discharge an employee. The rules begin to apply before one even hires an employee, during the recruiting and interviewing process. During the term of employment, how one handles performance evaluations can affect one's right to fire the employee. The question of timing the discharge is also crucial. The discharge process itself and obtaining a legal release from the employee is the next step. Finally, after the employee has left, one has to handle requests for references so as to avoid legal problems.

Growing Businesses. AN - 62762030; ED367879 AB - The United States' declining share of world trade is connected with the fact that hundreds of thousands of medium- and small-sized businesses are ignoring trade and exports. The cure for their fear of the unknown is information and education. Exports have a number of advantages: increased profits, spread of overhead costs, smooth seasonal fluctuations, increased productivity and competitiveness, tax advantages, and extended product life cycles. In many ways, international trade is not different than expanding into a new region of the United States. It is different in some ways: new needs and tastes; different forms of distribution duties, quotas, licenses; more complicated and costly shipping, documentation, and insurance; and different financing and payment terms and methods. The best place to begin is at the nearest office of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its International Trade Administration offers information services through Commercial Information Management System in three categories: identification and assessment of markets, contact services, and promotion. Books on exporting are available from the government. Other useful government agencies are the Export-Import Bank of the Small Business Administration and the District Export Council. Individual states are becoming increasingly active in encouraging, stimulating, and servicing medium and small businesses that wish to explore and expand into exporting. World Trade Centers, local trade associations, private consultants, export management companies, and private trade firms offer market research services and other support. (YLB) AU - Axtell, Roger E.

It discusses why it is essential to teach ethics and how to do so. It reviews the format of specially annotated ethics cases that are designed to help teach business ethics and shows how to use them. These steps for guiding an ethics discussion are described: (1) participants provide their own written response to the ethical dilemma; (2) participants are divided into groups, where they present their answers and work to reach group consensus on what to do and why; (3) a member of each group writes the group's answer on a flip chart or chalkboard; (4) for each group response, participants discuss the five ethical analysis questions; (5) participants discuss what policies/procedures/reward systems might be adopted to improve the situation for the future; (6) participants discuss in greater detail the key issues; and (7) participants discuss their responses to the ethical dilemma based on five ethical theories. Step 7 is presented in a section that provides an analytical framework for exploring ethical dilemmas. It discusses the stakeholder concept and five ethical theories: egoism, social group relativism, cultural relativism, utilitarianism, and deontology. The two business ethics discussion cases focus on job layoff and the pricing dilemma. (YLB) AU - Collins, Denis AU - Page, Laura V.

SBDC Professional Enrichment. AN - 62761543; ED367880 AB - A survey of 255 owners of independent businesses in the Midwest investigated their planning activities. Findings indicate that a large majority of the owners of existing businesses engage in both long-term and short-term planning. They believe that some of their planning is beneficial. However, most believe that they are only moderately well organized and they are only moderately satisfied with their efforts. Educators can help small business owners improve the quality of their planning. They need to be familiar with a definition of planning and the seven most common types of plans: strategic, business, marketing, financial, human resource development, operation, and action. Most small businesses need only three main classes of plans: long range, program, and annual or budgets. One widely held theory says that resistance to planning stems from resistance to change. Change is more acceptable when it is understood, does not threaten security, follows a series of successes, is inaugurated after prior change has been assimilated, and has been planned and if the organization has been trained to plan for improvement. Another important factor to consider is skepticism about the value of planning. Educators should be aware of potential problems and help business owners avoid them. They need to read books and go through the training process so they better understand and anticipate potential problems. (A planning resources bibliography cites 21 books and 17 articles. Twelve footnotes are appended.) (YLB) AU - Naffziger, Douglas W. AU - Kuratko, Donald F.

Part 1 focuses on how the government buys. It covers briefly general procedures, consolidated purchasing programs, and individual federal agencies. Three government tools for identifying potential offerors are discussed: Bidders List, Procurement Automated Source System (PASS), and Qualified Products List (QPL). Two approaches the government uses to tell prospective sellers what goods and services it wants to buy are described--formal advertising (sealed bids, Invitation for Bids) and buying or contracting by negotiation--Request for Proposals. Part 2 addresses selling to the government, through the following topics: giving one's company a competitive edge; subcontracting with a prime contractor; benefiting from the federal government's programs, such as the Small Business Administration (SBA), Offices of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, Department of Commerce, Federal Procurement Data Center, and Department of Transportation; what to do if unsuccessful in a bid or proposal; and a contractor's responsibilities. Appendixes include standard forms, agency resources, and 60-item bibliography. Other contents in this packet include brochures on Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training, Service Corps of Retired Executives, and SBA and seven articles from "Entrepreneurial Woman Magazine" dealing with women's experiences with the SBA.

New Businesses. AN - 62771085; ED367878 AB - A literature review and two major studies discovered four approaches to job design, each geared toward different sets of outcomes for individual employees and organizations. The motivational approach tries to design jobs to provide the worker with autonomy and the opportunity to make decisions about how or in what order tasks are done. The mechanistic approach is based on the assumption that the work should be broken down into highly specialized jobs, tasks simplified, a minimum of idle time obtained, and repetition should be used to benefit from practice. The human factors approach designs the job to limit the amount of information to which the worker must pay attention or remember. The goal of the biological approach is to reduce the physical demands of work and the resulting discomforts and injuries. All of the approaches have advantages and drawbacks. Although each approach can help make a job better, all contain unintended consequences that advocates tend to ignore. For example, too liberal an application of the motivational approach can increase the mental demands of the job and increase training time and make it more difficult to find qualified employees. The mechanistic approach may lead to less interesting, satisfying, and rewarding jobs. The human factors approach may unintentionally decrease mental demands to the point of boredom. A drawback of the biological and human factors approaches is the financial cost. (Recommendations for further reading are made.) (YLB) AU - Campion, Michael A. AU - Thayer, Paul W.

AN - 62770877; ED367882 AB - Examination of numerous studies of executives of small manufacturing firms in Iowa offered insights on their attitudes and actions regarding educational seminars. Findings showed that 62.7 percent of manufacturers attended at least one seminar in the last year. The term "seminar" had a better customer satisfaction rating than "workshop" did. The term "class" did not appeal to them. Workshops were not the preferred method of gaining knowledge; personal contacts were. Associates and suppliers offered more competition than consultants, degree-oriented courses, or government-sponsored programs. Manufacturers were not interested in for-credit courses. Relevance of the course was the primary criterion used when selecting programs. Long-term use was more important than immediate use. Program cost ranked eighth out of 10 in terms of importance. High technology firms were a good market because they were more education oriented than other firms. Most manufacturers heard about programs through direct-mail campaigns. The primary challenge was to prove the value of education. Manufacturers did not assume that additional education could influence their firm's profit picture or competitive posture.

Opinion. AN - 62768050; ED367877 AB - Seven small business owners, professors, and leaders answered the question of whether academia can help small business owners. In the opinion of a small business owner, academia offers too much theory and too few real skills. According to the president of the National Federation of Independent Business, academia can play a role in the development of small business, but colleges and universities must first overcome many barriers. From a chief executive officer's point of view, business and academia must form a dynamic alliance; if the premise of universities is to provide pure theory and no specifics, the premise is wrong. The president of the Association of Small Business Development Centers finds that strains exist because small business owners and academics both question the value of the relationship. A professor presents educators' viewpoint: academia can help many entrepreneurs, but there are barriers to a successful working relationship: client-counselor mismatches, antigeneralist bias, and entrepreneurs' ignorance of all available sources of help. According to another professor, if research and insights could be expressed clearly to small business owners and emerging entrepreneurs, a great deal of experience, research, and knowledge could be networked among those interested in improving the competitive edge. The administrator of the Small Business Administration reports that the traditional role of universities has never been more important to small businesses.

The material presented is an index of basic information a person should have about a particular franchise to enable him to make a valid determination as to whether or not a specific franchise is the right one for him and whether or not the chances for returns both in terms of money and future are there. The questions are presented first with discussion, then repeated in a questionnaire format which may be used to profile and evaluate the franchises he is investigating. Financial and legal questions are raised, questions about training and marketing, and about home office support. The 10 pages of appendixes include information about the Federal Trade Commission and franchising, the International Franchise Association, the Small Business Administration, and a listing of sources of additional information.

IF AN EXISTING BUSINESS WISHES TO PURCHASE OR INSTALL RECYCLING OR REPROCESSING EQUIPMENT THIS WOULD BE TREATED AS NORMAL BUSINESS EXPANSION. SINCE SBA IS A LENDING AGENCY, IT IS CONCERNED WITH CREDIT CRITERIA OR REQUIREMENTS. AS ANY OTHER LENDER, IT IS INTERESTED IN THE CHARACTER OF ITS BORROWERS AND IN REPAYMENT ABILITY, MANAGEMENT ABILITY, CAPITALIZATION, AND COLLATERAL. FOR LENDING PURPOSES A BUSINESS QUALIFIES AS A SMALL BUSINESS, GENERALLY, IF IT RETAILS LESS THAN $1 MILLION ANNUALLY. THE CLASSIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURING CONCERN IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AND CAN RANGE FROM LESS THAN 250 TO LESS THAN 1,500 DEPENDING UPON THE INDUSTRY.

First, an overview of the business is provided, telling the background required in education and experience as well as the amount of profit that can be expected. Advice is then given on the following topics: location of the business, buying an existing business, financing, and types of business ownership, especially as they are affected by taxes. The physical design of the shops is described, focusing on the areas of storefront, salesroom, workroom, office, and delivery area. Following a general review of equipment, refrigerators and lighting are treated in more detail. The purchase and care of flowers are delineated as well as the advisability of having a greenhouse in the store. Pointers are given on selling techniques and the effectiveness of advertising is considered. Money management, including budgets and financial statements, is emphasized, and determining the pricing of merchandise is explained. Also, the training and hiring of employees, particularly of sales help, is reviewed. Because of the importance of wire service orders in the flower business, a chapter is devoted to that topic. For more information, a list is provided of books, periodicals, associations, wire services, and government publications. (ELG) AU - Krone, Paul R.

These presentations are intended to be particularly useful to Distributive Education in the smaller community where library research facilities are limited and equipment for the production of visual aids is not readily available. The lecture is designed to be presented to the businessman in nontechnical language. The Lesson Plan is an outline of the material covered which may be used as a teaching guide. The Presentation may be used as written or modified to meet local needs and conditions. The Visual Aids are photographic copies of the set of visual aids which are available for this topic. These visuals are 8- by 10-inch colored transparencies prepared for use on overhead projectors. The Supply Department contains materials which may be reproduced locally for distribution to course participants. Cases in Point are short actual small-business management cases which may be used to augment the presentation and to develop discussion. The Incubator contains ideas for stimulating further thought and discussion by the participants. A bibliography and list of Small Business Administration field offices are included.
