You're missing the point. Nobody is going to offer to buy most small owner operated businesses. Could be 50 cents and it won't move. Sure, plenty get sold but by and large they do not. Really, banks won't even touch most of them and the owner doesn't want to be the bank. Why bother? You...

Except it doesn't work like that. For one, corporations hoard cash and leverage buyouts. It is usually some combo of stock, debt assumption and some cash AFAIK. As far as zero responsibility, yeah right. They can claim you misrepresented your business, claim you contaminated your property...

Smaller meaning regional and smaller footprint nationals, not Billy Bobs handyman service. Most people run an unsellable small business, it's a job and the owner is the key employee, he leaves and the business dies. You usually don't get a big fat check. You get a little sum, hold a note for...

Rules? Those things are for other people

that's an understatement

Do they start yanking on the door and knocking? The side door of our office can be opened if you pull hard enough and can't even count how many times some idiot has set the alarm off by doing this.

means you will be forced to do work and wait to get paid because all of your smaller customers are either getting bought up or buried. One company alone has bought up at least 5 of our longstanding decent volume customers over the past few years. We just watch them fall one by one

If it's an industrial property, just put a new face on it. It's unistrut and fence post, nothing wrong with it. There's enough bracing there to use 3mm acm if you wanted.

I thought I was the only one who hated ACH payments.

Do you think you'll get another and sell the canon?

Gotcha, I misinterpreted what they meant. Are they using the i3200 in it?

I think those 2 are brothers. One is patient and the other isn't. This is the stuff that they don't teach you in business school but should.

Is the UCJV300 too slow? Seems like UV is the way to go for instant dry except for maybe wraps. Roland has a new one out too I think. Latex always sounds like such a PITA and it looks like Epson followed HP with throwaway print heads. It's a machine to sell you consumables like they do with...

Those checks are almost as good as a winning lotto ticket! I like the ones who go silent when they owe you money but always have more work for you as soon as you go collect it. It could be 2 weeks or 2 years, they'll just sit on whatever work they needed until you call for money. It's funny...

Gino? Can you play this?

not sure about the printhead but xanax works pretty good for anxiety

I think you are overlooking the process, how many hands this stuff goes through and the shear volume that a limited amount of staff have to process day in and day out. I used to be that guy who would use the date and my initials for PO's and then take 2 months to answer the A/P girl as to what...

From my experience over the years, net60 seems to have replaced net30. Anyone that used to be net60 have turned into 90-120 day pay. We pay our vendors fast but that is because we are small potatoes and have to unless we want to be COD all over town.

You're not alone. At all.

That's life in business my friend. There is a process for payments, a lot of it is for their own security and requires steps to approve. You've never heard horror stories of someone's bookkeeper embezzling money or people making fake invoices from fake vendors and pocketing the money? It...
