Business Candidates for Virtual Office

 

Business Candidates for Virtual Office

 

Any business can use Virtual Office! But Virtual Office now allows the "Little Guy" to compete with big business. Where multinational corporations spend billions for a global presence you now only have to spend pennies to compete with them. As you read further you will see that the small home business and major multinational corporations are no longer worlds apart.

Wikipedia explains Business as "In economics, a business is a legally recognized organizational entity existing within an economically free country designed to sell goods and/or services to consumers or other businesses, usually in an effort to generate profit.

In predominantly capitalist economies, where most businesses are privately owned, businesses are typically formed to earn profit and grow the personal wealth of their owners. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for their work and their acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions to this rule include cooperative businesses and government institutions. This model of business functioning is contrasted with socialistic systems, which involve either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses.

The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the record business," or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate.

Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals organizing to maintain collective productivity toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals (usually to generate profit), is taught as an academic subject in many schools.

In looking at the different types of businesses there are several, with the idea that a specific type fits the needs unique to the people running the business? Again Wikipedia further goes into the different types of ownership which is very important when deciding your corporate structure. Having a clear understanding of the type of business structure is the first step in organizing your business.

"Basic forms of ownership

Although forms of business ownership vary by country and local government, there are several common forms of business ownership:

*                   Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. The owner may operate on his or her own or may employ others. The owner of the business has total and unlimited personal liability of the debts incurred by the business.

*                   Partnership: A partnership is a form of business in which two or more people operate for the common goal of making profit. Each partner has total and unlimited personal liability of the debts incurred by the partnership. There are three typical classifications of partnerships: general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships .

*                   Corporation: A business corporation is a for-profit, limited liability entity that has a separate legal personality from its members. A corporation is owned by multiple shareholders and is overseen by a board of directors, which hires the business's managerial staff.

*                   Cooperative: Often referred to as a "Co-Op business" or "Co-Op", a cooperative is a for-profit, limited liability entity that differs from a corporation in that it has members, as opposed to shareholders, who share decision-making authority. Cooperatives are typically classified as either consumer cooperatives or worker cooperatives. Cooperatives are fundamental to the ideology of economic democracy.

 

When you look at the types of business that fall into the above categories you can see that the types of businesses are large with the selection of corporate structure being limited. Having a few selections to choose from is a good thing since it takes a large business field and narrows the legal structure down to a few choices. This also shows that anyone can pick their structure and then set up their business accordingly. With only four selections you should seek out legal advice or read about what structure is right for you. Many times you could pick a structure that is far more potent than needed at the time. You can always change the structure as you grow.

There are many types of businesses, and, as a result, businesses can be classified in many ways. One of the most common focuses on the primary profit-generating activities of a business:

*                   Manufacturers produce products, from raw materials or component parts, which they then sell at a profit. Companies that make physical goods, such as cars or pipes, are considered manufacturers.

*                   Service businesses offer intangible goods or services and typically generate a profit by charging for labor or other services provided to government, other businesses or consumers. Organizations ranging from house decorators to consulting firms to restaurants and even to entertainers are types of service businesses.

*                   Retailers and Distributors act as middle-men in getting goods produced by manufacturers to the intended consumer, generating a profit as a result of providing sales or distribution services. Most consumer-oriented stores and catalogue companies are distributors or retailers. See also: Franchising

*                   Agriculture and mining businesses are concerned with the production of raw material, such as plants or minerals.

*                   Financial businesses include banks and other companies that generate profit through investment and management of capital.

*                   Information businesses generate profits primarily from the resale of intellectual property and include movie studios, publishers and packaged software companies.

*                   Utilities produce public services, such as heat, electricity, or sewage treatment, and are usually government chartered.

*                   Real estate businesses generate profit from the selling, renting, and development of properties, homes, and buildings.

*                   Transportation businesses deliver goods and individuals from location to location, generating a profit on the transportation costs

 

 

There are many different types of businesses as you can see above but the important issue for this article is that in all cases what ever the business is they should have a Virtual Office. Virtual Office give's any business a global perspective and positions it in the world as a presence to be dealt with. If you can reach out and attract people from all over the globe you are now establishing your business along side the multinational businesses. Remember the major corporation's difference is that they spend a lot of money to get their presence. Their structure is the same as your business except they spend billions for a global presence where you only have to spend pennies to achieve a global presence.

Mentoring is lacking because people who sell home business opportunities are not capable of teaching, because they simply don't know. This seminar series will address topics from business structure, business economics, business finance and SEO [Search Engine Optimization], SEM [Search Engine Marketing] and the specific tasks needed to get high positions on the search engines. All of this is positioned within everyone having their own Virtual Office. We will teach everyone "How to Build Your Own Virtual Office".
