Business

One way to raise money for your concept or invention is to scour the trade journals for folks in the industry such as consultants, who have boatloads of contacts and may have a perfect corporate partner who needs what you have. Trade Journals have all sorts of interesting tidbits, often in stories you see quotes from Investment Bankers on something they have funded. Call them. Check the online Ezines in your industry too.

Now mind you, I have been around small business people all my life, I even started out as one, after retirement, I guess, I am now a semi-retired businessman. So, when I give you this next advice, realize that I am speaking from experience. Small businesses need to outsource their payroll accounting, because it is serious business and if you make a mistake you could be fined or imprisoned. Certainly, I could tell you 100s of stories of small business people getting into serious trouble over payroll accounting, and it is just not worth it.
