DON'T GET FINED!
Do you have all of the employee rights posters on display in your
workplace that you are required by law to make visible? If not you
could get fined. You don't need fancy laminated versions of the
posters. You can avoid fines by downloading them from various
federal web sites and printing them out on your own computer.
We've compiled a list of the posters you are likely to require
along with links to the federal sites to download them. Get the
list here: http://www.businessknowhow.com/manage/

ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS
Small and home businesses often face difficulties finding a
company that can provide them with a merchant account at
reasonable rates. I hear story after story from small business
owners who have been talked into purchasing expensive
long-term, non-cancelable leases for equipment and software to
process credit cards and who, as a result, are paying thousands of
dollars for something that should have only cost a few hundred
dollars. To help those of you who can't get a merchant account
through your bank, Business Know-How has formed a marketing
alliance with the merchant account provider we use ourselves. If
you are looking for a reputable service provider who won't talk
you into an expensive lease that you don't need, look for the link
on our web site that says Accept Credit Cards. http://www.businessknowhow.com
