Concerning Business: What does "EIN" and "D and B" mean?

Does "EIN" stand for "Employer Identification Number"? D and B: "Dunn and Broad-street"? This last definition I'm not sure of the spelling. I am trying to help a friend who owns/operates a small child day-care. She has been in business for 5+years but has terrible personal credit. I was asked to research the [...]

I always tell off, and talk back to my bosses, is that good or bad?

At 22, I learned "when you work for someone, you give your boss power over your life". I had a boss who would be constantly reminding people how much they needed their job, and how she could fire them at any time. She'd say things like: - "It'd be pretty sad if you couldn't pay your daughter's tuition no more" - [...]

If Republicans were in power, what would they propose?

What would a Republican-controlled House, Senate, and White House have on the agenda right now? What would be the top piece of legislation right now? Would it be any better than what we have now? Would they undo some of what Obama? Would they pass a Conservative version of healthcare reform with caps on lawsuits and shopping across state [...]

Was there anything in Obamas State of The Union speech that really got you excited?

Yes another long question from me ... Obama just finished his first State of the Union Address. I felt it was bland, unemotional (even though he told countless American stories that allegedly caused him to stay awake at night), and it seemed disingenuous and hollow. Of course his promises of creating jobs and making jobs the number [...]

Michael Moore has joined the anti-bailout forces…will Liberal support dwindle as well?

Moore certainly can't swing large groups, but he isn't the only liberal moving against this. There is a general fear that the powers that be will wreak the middle class's 401Ks if they don't get what they want. Has the partisanship that came in when McCain dragged the presidential hopefuls into this, lead to the collapse of our 401Ks and a [...]

Geitener said 97% of small business would see tax reliefe BUT businesses which create 90% of the jobs will NOT?

Small businesses who have the size to hire people almost all fall over Obama's rich line and will be savaged by the tax increase. They will also be damaged by the upcoming interest increase in borrowing money. Those businesses are THE ONES who always push a recovery, and now they are hamstrung, and they will not this time. And those small [...]

Are the economic woes of the US being exagerrated?

I am wondering about the accuracy of the media's reports regarding the supposed tightening of credit markets and credit lines for individuals and small businesses. In my area, banks and other lending institutions have been heavily bombarding the radio and tv with ads stating that there is no credit crunch, that they have ample money to lend, that [...]

Which is the best bank for small businesses in San Diego?

Anyone have a bank that they like for small businesses? I'm looking for credit card processing, low fees, online banking, electronic transfers, possibly a business loan and a friendly atmosphere.

Is Obama's new line "Health care would help small businesses" bunk? What do you think of this article?

"The biggest lie about his statement is that he absolutely NEGLECTS to state that his healthcare bill RE-defines what is considered a small business. From the bill (which he obviously still has not read): ‘‘…the number of qualified employees employed by such employer during the taxable year does not exceed 25 ‘‘. He also [...]

starting up an internet web based business?
