    How do you spell it out ? Every possible application ? Improper application by customer . I see my banners used as flags. If it has been done with vinyl letters. That beats them to death and the letters will come off .
  5. Has anyone provided Project Financing to clients?

    In my opinion ..... if a company selling an item has loan contracts and lease contracts on things in their shop, it must seem ok to them to offer credit to their customers in order to purchase their products. In our case , our entire shop and supplies were never purchased on any credit . We...

    So many people ask "what do I need to do to have a successful business" . A person could buy a very successful shop and lose money every year. Look at what Not to do also. Some owners could not run a lemonade stand. There are worker bees in the world. To quote Bill Murry " That's the fact...
