Business TBC

Any business no matter how small should be planned perfectly for it to succeed especially when it is a business that relies greatly on the different tastes of people. Just like sign and poster printing, a brochure printing business heavily relies on your artists creativity and your customers taste and satisfaction. Therefore, you should be careful about every approach that you make especially during the planning stage of your brochure printing business.

Behind every successful business is a well researched business plan. So before you start investing your money, conduct a thorough research about the brochures printing business. Find out more about the history of printing and how it is done. Make a list of all the machineries that are used during brochure printing and try to find out how much they cost. An inventory of all the materials used during brochure printing such as inks and papers is another thing that you should obtain. Try to find out more about how long it will take to produce a single brochure.

After doing your research about brochures printing, make a feasible business plan. It should contain details about your business location, the capital cost of putting up a brochures printing business and the procedures that are involved in printing, and the capital you are willing to allot in putting up your brochure printing business.

Study your business plan. If you think that the capital cost would be too much for you, then start conducting a research about the current market price of the materials in your inventory list. You can do this by visiting shops in your area that offer brochure printing materials. you can also search the Internet for online shops that offer printing materials. Make adjustments in your business plan depending on the research you made.

After polishing your business plan, try to find a business expert who can give you advice about your printing business. Show him your business plan and ask him to give suggestions that can help make your brochures printing business more successful.

You can now look for the perfect location where you can put up your business headquarters. After finding a location, find a contractor who can work for you. Discuss with him your proposed budget and ask him to update your business plan. Since a contractors line of work makes him more aware about the market prices of all hardware materials, he may be able to help you update your current price list.

Make it a point to always monitor the progress of your business: be there during the construction of your businesss building, be there when it is time to shop for the materials and machineries that you will need and ask for progress reports from your contractor. This is a way for you to guarantee that the workers you hired will not slack off and waste your hard-earned money. It is also a way for you to find out first hand all the problems that occur during the construction.

Putting up a business is not the same as building a house. Therefore, you should be extra careful especially when money is involved. After all, just because a business is a risk doesnt mean you should be careless about the important details that concern your business.

You will be happy to know that the treatment of your motorbike, within your business affairs, for tax purposes is much more favourable than your motor counterparts and whilst owning a company car is an expensive business, owning a company motorcycle isnt. Javeed Baig of Gower Accountants in Leicester explains why.

Assuming you are VAT registered, you can claim upto 100% of the VAT paid on the purchase of your beloved bike. This is on the basis that you use the motorcycle only for business purposes. With a car, no matter how much you use it for business you cannot reclaim the VAT.

Motorcycle Tax Benefits

Having purchased your motorcycle, you can claim a deduction against tax for the full purchase price in your year of purchase using part of your Annual Investment Allowance of 50,000. A car typically would attract an annual writing down allowance of only 20% per year. In corporation tax terms, for the small business, this represents a saving of 21%.

Assuming the VAT reclaim and the corporation tax relief thats a whopping 36% off the purchase price of your motorbike. So you could choose to take the saving, or maybe trade up and get that mean machine that you have always promised yourself.

As with a car it is unlikely that you will use your motorcycle only for business and therefore a private use element will occur. Take the assumption that 75% is used for business and 25% is used privately. This 25% is the benefit you have derived from using a company asset and as a result a Benefit in Kind charge will arise on both the company and on you as an individual. How this benefit is calculated is where the magic lies and its where motorcycles ownership thrives and company cars dive.

The basic differences are as follows:

MotorbikeCar
Base ValueMarket Value or Purchase PriceList Price When New
% for Cash ValueFixed 20%Between 10% & 35%
Fuel BenefitFixed 20% of UsageBase 14,400 fixed

Heres an example of the potential tax benefits:
Motorcycle costs 8,000. 25% private & 75% business.
Cash Value of benefit in kind : 1,600
Reduction Due to Business Usage : 1,200
Taxable Benefit : 400
400 represents your cash value of the benefit from using the company bike. If you are a basic rate taxpayer you will pay 80. The company will pay a further 51.20 National Insurance on this.

The equivalent tax position regarding a company car is as follows:
Car Cost 8,000 List price 16,000. Some private use assumed. CO2 = 20%
Cash Value of benefit in Kind : 3,200
Reduction due to Business Usage : N/A
Taxable Benefit : 3,200
Tax At Basic Rate : 640 Company Charge : 410

Moving back to motorcycles you can see the savings on purchase would far exceed the annual cost of owning your bike through a company.

Additional Tax Benefits

In addition all safety equipment, insurance and fuel can all be paid for by the company with the Benefit in kind calculated in much the same way.

Social responsibilities lay in business framework
Most people think of business simply as a way to generate money. While this may be a primary motivating factor for some, it also carries many underlain responsibilities. Business owners become part of the infrastructure of the community. They supply a service or product which fills a need of the community.

The common bond linking community and business lies in each others realization of shared assumptions. Business realizes they fill a need, desire or fixation of the community and the community realizes who their contributor is. While community can survive without business, business on the other hand cannot exist without community. No community is self sufficient and no business is customer free.

Business must develop social programs and policies that can be seen as responsive to social expectations, but not necessarily limited to socially demand. A firm having social awareness is in tune to its customers requirements as well as its viewpoint.

There are three main driving forces between business and society:

1. The idealistic outlook: primarily relates to principles and social responsibility,
2. the institutional outlook: Its expression of social responsiveness
3. the organizational orientation: primarily relates to policies and management of social issues.

There are four Basic Models of Business Relationships
1. Humanitarian – adhere to principles of compassion and reinvesting into the community
2. Ethical – adhere to principles of honesty and decency
3. Legal – adhere to all laws and regulations
4. Economic adhere to making a profit.

While a certain responsibility lies in being a good corporate partner and citizen, the most fundamental business responsibility is that of economics. The primary reason for being in business is to make a profit. Business exist for generating revenue for the business and in so doing, provides revenue for its employees. All other business responsibilities are based or established upon economic assumptions which is the responsibility of the people in charge. Without this statement the prognosis of future success becomes nothing more that arguable considerations.

While plotting a course of action, businesses are expected to operate within the framework of societal law, thus carrying the burden of legal responsibility. Likewise, legal responsibility is restricted to the letter of the law, while the spirit of law is
reserved for ethical reasoning.

Next, businesses are expected to have an ethical responsibility which is defined as any and all activities or practices which are either expected or prohibited by society members even though they are not written into law. Ethical classifications are further separated from legal activities by use of negative definition: ethical responsibility relates to those social expectations and norms not yet codified into law. In the same line, philanthropic responsibility designates those areas of voluntary social involvement not specifically
prohibited or demanded of companies because of their economic, legal, and ethical responsibilities.

Business also carry as a philanthropic obligation to contribute to its community. This responsibility is discretionary in nature and seen as an investment in future growth. Even though this is not a requirement it is a necessary and sufficient obligation that socially expects from responsible businesses.

Theoretical Assumptions

If the economic role of the business is reduced to the narrow emphasis of profit it then could become blinded to making of contributed economics. This posturing leaves out the need for community relations.

There is another scenario to consider which is in contrast to the ordinary view, the so-called separation thesis. This is when businesses focus either on profits or social
concerns but not on both. This rises a question of debate that businesses can not only be profitable and ethical, but they should fulfill these obligations simultaneously. Can a business be profitable and disconnected from community? In todays world, franchising brings business into a community while being completely detached from community needs.

The clear-cut separation of business from community raises the problem of coexisting within a harmonious environment. Even though a business may appear to be separated the burden of responsibilities still apply. The business provides a tax revenue as well as product, service and employment. There are interwoven responsibilities which represent the stimulus for economic considerations.

The social pressures imposed on todays business are decreasing in importance, whereas economic and legal responsibilities are a requirement and ethical practices are vaguely expected, charitable contributions although desired, are completely voluntary.

A good business citizen, while striving to fulfill all its responsibilities, will actually apply
the necessary priorities to secure its status in the community.

Businesses have a responsibility that goes well beyond the demands of law and common morality. They set as examples of good moral judgment and community responsibility.
