Article: Mind Your Spendings

To keep your business from falling into the overspending trap, follow these 6 useful tips on cutting down on expenses and minimizing cash outflows
By Henry Ong;
Source: http://www.entrepreneur.com.ph/

Putting up a new business can be so demanding and stressful that even rational people can sometimes fall into the overspending trap.

In your enthusiasm to make your business succeed, you yourself may fall into this trap and face the following undesirable situations:

High rental cost. By getting office space that's much too big for your startup business, you can get strapped for cash due to your high rental cost. This mistake would be all the more painful if your business doesn't pick up soon enough contrary to your expectations.

High depreciation cost. It's not advisable to buy top-of-the-line office equipment and furniture when they are not essential to the success of your business. They not only will be a big drain to your initial capital investment but also result in high depreciation expense.

Too many employees. In your desire to make everything in your business move smoothly, you may end up hiring more employees than you really need. To avoid bloating your payroll, see first if you or your manager could handle the functions of the positions you want to create.

Overstocking of inventory. Because you want to take advantage of a supplier's volume discount, you might order initial inventory that's way above your normal operating requirements. This can prove to be a bad deal when the cost to maintain the excess inventory proves to be higher than the supplier's volume discount.

Credit line abuse. You can end up acquiring unnecessary debt when you take on your bank's offer of a very high credit line. You can then be tempted to treat your credit line as capital infusion, enticing you to go on an expansion binge that invests heavily on capital expenditures. Because you used short-term financing for the long-term investment, however, you soon begin experiencing cash flow problems and abnormally high interest costs.

There are many ways to cut down on your expenses and minimize your cash outflows, but the most important are the following:

Develop a budget. You need to draw up a budget for each department of your company, listing all monthly expenses, and then make it a point to monitor and evaluate this budget regularly. Budgets are a reliable benchmark for measuring your actual performance. By sticking to your budgets, you will be able to curb your impulse purchases more effectively.

Promote accountability. Once you have drawn up your budget, you need to authorize only a few specific people including yourself to approve or make purchases on behalf of your company. By coming up with a formal approval system, you will be able to develop greater accountability and stronger control over expenses.

Update your bank account regularly. You need to monitor your cash position daily to avoid unexpected cash shortfalls. By knowing your cash position at any time, you will not make the mistake of tapping your bank credit line to finance expenditures for which you have enough cash in the bank in the first place. You will thus be able to avoid unnecessary interest expenses.

Try to barter your services and products. The barter system or "ex-deal" is a good way to reduce your inventories, increase sales, improve cash flow, and use the excess capacity of your business. For example, if you are in the restaurant business and you need to hire a marketing company, you can offer to pay for its services with free meal vouchers instead of cash. This way, you not only reduce your cash outflow but also reduce your inventories and put your restaurant's excess seat capacity to use.

Prioritize your capital expenditures. You should invest in capital assets such as computers, equipment, and transportation only when you absolutely need them. Make sure that they will create a positive return on investment for you in the long term. For example, before purchasing a new computer, you need to first compute the net savings you will get by investing in it as a replacement for your old one, whose slowness could be costing you a substantial sum in overtime pay and delayed sales deliveries. Make the purchase only if the net savings are big enough.

Create an incentive system. You can encourage your employees to cut down on company expenses by developing an incentive system for savings generation. For instance, in a particular department, you can reward the employees a certain percentage, say 10 percent, of the total savings they realize at yearend from their approved budget. In this way, you not only cut down on company expenses but also share with your employees the benefits of the savings generated.

In some rare instances, it may be a good idea to spend heavily on such crucial aspects of the business as marketing and advertising. This may be unavoidable particularly if you are just starting up with a new brand. Still, such expenses should always be carefully budgeted and monitored, and if you are having difficulties justifying them and certain other major expenses, it is always advisable to consult your accountant or a financial advisor.

Bacolod Chicken Inasal introduces BBQuito Paborito ni Betty La Fea


There’s a street party at Bacolod Chicken Inasal (BCI), and you are cordially invited. Yes, your favorite chicken inasal experts once again brings in the streets into its cozy restos, even tags along the wacky crew of the hit ABS-CBN Primetime Bida show I Love Betty La Fea, to give you succulent fares that will surely whet your appetite.

BCI proudly introduces the BBQuito (pronounced as bibikito) Paborito meals that features the typical street-type, barbeque a lot of Pinoys love to eat from the streetside. Remember those pocket-friendly, orangey, sweetish, spicy and tasty wonders you’d munch on with great delight? That’s exactly how the BBquito looks and tastes like, only better this time with the touch of the expert inasal makers.

The BBquito Paborito meals are inspired by the character of Betty La Fea who in the Pinoy version (played by Bea Alonzo) loves to eat street food like barbecue on her way to and from the office. Just like the lovable character in the hit teleserye, you will love the BBQuito Paborito because it packs a lot of flavors.

I Love Betty La Fea is a TV series that a lot of people around the world love. It is an honor and a fun challenge for us to create meals inspired by the lovable character of Betty,” Rose Tanalgo-Meim, who heads marketing of Bacolod Chicken Inasal.

“The BBQuito Paborito Meals ni Betty La Fea were inspired by the typical street-type barbeque that is all over the Philippines. We just enhanced the taste and flavor that is usually sweetish, spicy and the color is usually reddish or orangey and very familiar to Pinoys”, shared Bing Tanalgo, who developed the recipe for the barbeques.

“We also made sure that the meals are easy on the pocket or “betty-friendly” so it comes with our garlic rice and 12 oz iced tea and starts at only P99.50”, said JM Tanalgo, General Manager.

To make your choice easy, Bacolod Chicken Inasal introduces six combos—all yummy, and budget friendly. BBQuito Combo 1 is called Chiquito, Ataquito and Batiqutio (chicken satay, liver and gizzard) while BBQuito Combo 2 is called Porquito, Ataquito and Isolquito (pork BBQ, liver and tail). There’s also Chiquito, Batiqutio and Isolquito (chicken satay, gizzard and tail) and the Porquito, Ataqutio and Batiquito (pork BBQ, liver and tail). These combos are yours to enjoy at only PhP 99.50.

Other exciting combos to try are the BBQuito Combo 5 that comes with three sticks of Chiquito (chicken satay), while BBQuito Combo 6 has three sticks of Porquito (pork BBQ), garlic rice and 12oz iced tea. BBQuito combos 5 and 6 are priced at only PhP 109.00. All combos are served with garlic rice and 12oz iced tea.

With six exciting combos to choose from, you never should miss these grilled wonders the way you are consistently tuned in to the show that has Betty-fied the whole town.

“The BBQuito Paborito ni Betty La Fea tie up is our second collaboration with Bacolod Chicken Inasal after the success of Ysabella’s chicken last year and we’re looking forward to the public enjoying the new Betty meals, “says Julie Santos of the Licensing group of ABS CBN.
.
Last year, Bacolod Chicken Inasal and ABS-CBN joined forces to introduce to the Pinoy palate the Ysabella’s Chicken, a steamed then fried chicken that uses very Pinoy ingredients that instantly became a hit in the resto. The secret recipe was developed by ABS-CBN for the once top-rating TV soap Ysabella, starred award-winning actress and great cook Judy Ann Santos, who eventually became Bacolod Chicken Inasal’s celebrity endorser. Ysabella’s chicken is still available even after the teleserye has ended and is enjoying a healthy following at Bacolod Chicken Inasal.

For people with more sophisticated tastes, Bacolod Chicken Inasal also introduces the Eco moda Meals, which are inspired by the posh Eco Moda Manila office where Betty La Fea works. Eco Moda Manila is a sophisticated advertising agency headed in the teleserye by John Lloyed Cruz and the glamorous Ms. Ruffa Guitierrez.

For the Eco Moda meals, Bacolod Chicken Inasal prepared delicious Pollo Galantina, which is a quarter of succulent stuffed chicken, and Liempo Sabroso (Spanish for delicious), a no-fry (read: healthy) but crispy and juicy pork dish. True to its name, the Eco Moda meals are elegantly prepared to match the sophisticated and elite characters of the Eco Moda office in the TV show. The Pollo Galantina is served with gravy and vegetables on the side while the Liempo Sabroso comes with a dip and tomatoes and onions relish.

“The galantina recipe comes from an old family recipe while the roasted liempo recipe is our healthy take on lechon kawali loved by Pinoys. The liempo is roasted not fried ,” Bing Tanalgo shares.

With the introduction of these exciting combos and meals, you now have more reason to visit Bacolod Chicken Inasal with your family, friends or officemates depending on your mood or economic situation. Aside from the mouth-wateringc chicken inasal that’s a hit in every Bacolod Chicken Inasal resto, expect the BBQuito Paborito Combos and the Eco Moda Meals to be a fast seller as well because they are perfect match for the Filipino palate and are friendly to the pocket.

Be the first to know the exciting developments in this grilled place to be. Visit its branches — Edsa Central, Jupiter St. (next to Bel Air 2 entrance), Greenhills, QC Circle, SM City Sta. Mesa, Robinsons Place Manila, Glorietta 4, Metrowalk, Robinsons Forum, SM Megamall, Paseo Center, TriNoma, SM City Clark, Robinsons Otis, One EcomCenter SM Mall of Asia, McKinley Hill, Fastbytes Alabang, SM City Marikina and soon at SM City Baliwag and Summit Ridge Tagaytay — near you or log on to www.bacolodchickeninasal.com for more information.

Flea Control Guide

Living in a condo is really cool. You get to see the best view in the city and you are accessible to all public places like malls, churches, hospitals and more. This is what we call, the lifestyle of the fast people. Why? Because most people who live in condominium are career-driven people!

But of course, there are limitations to its coolness. There are many rules that you should follow and one of them is that you are not allowed to keep pets! That’s the thing that makes me sad living in a high-rise condo. I can’t keep a dog! They don’t want dogs because of the noise it brings and in most cases, fleas. They don’t want to have fleas’ infestation all over the condo.

I also thought of keeping a cat instead because they are quite. But they say it can still be detected by the building administrator once other occupants will start complaining about flea bites. I don’t even know what do flea bites look like and they will tell me that!

Oh well, I guess the safest thing to do is get a cat (LOL!!) and apply flea control. That way I won’t get caught, just joking! I think I will get a fish instead. :)

Article: Buying a business

Here are a few important things to consider before you buy an existing business that you want to set up yourself
By Henry C. Ong
Many successful entrepreneurs are described as people who started their business from nothing and grew it to what it is now. Indeed, it takes time—normally several years as the entrepreneur struggles to survive trials—before a business can get truly established in the market. Still, this is not always the route to get into a business. There is a shorter way: buying an existing one.

One obvious advantage in buying an existing business is that someone else had already done the hard work of putting up the company for you. There is already a functioning organizational structure, and you only need to evaluate its operations and procedures carefully to make them even more efficient.

But buying a controlling interest in an existing company is not a surefire guarantee to success. There are pros and cons you need to consider before making the purchase.

To begin with, when a business you want to buy is stable and is generating good cash flow, the selling price will normally be high; you will most likely pay a premium to acquire it. In contrast, you may find a better buying opportunity in a business with market potential that is losing financially due to mismanagement. This type of business may have some intangible assets such as a promising product or a good brand, but since it has been incurring financial losses, you may be able to acquire it at a very good bargain. In this kind of transaction, however, you need to have a good strategic plan for turning the business around after acquiring it.

When you purchase a going concern, you enjoy instant market share and immediate access to an existing customer base. This is particularly strategic if you are already in a similar business; acquiring your competitor expands your market share immediately and enables you to cross-sell to a new customer list that you have not been serving previously. It could also happen that the business you acquired has a location that is strategic for your future expansion. This is particularly true if almost—if not all—of the other good locations in the area are already taken.

Then, for cost-cutting purposes, you will need to evaluate the personnel in an existing business. There will be some you will need to lay off due to redundancy or incompetence, but there will be others you will need to retain because they have the right skills and experience for the business. As the new boss of the company, of course, you will have the authority to promote or reassign the best people for particular positions.

The company you acquired is likely to already have the necessary licenses and contracts for doing the business, so you need not go through the application process all over again. The licenses can be in the form of copyrights or trademarks that you can expand or sell, and the contracts can be in the form of franchises or vendor agreements. It would be advantageous to you if the existing relationship allows you to enjoy vendor accommodation with regard to credit terms; this is especially true if the existing vendors already understand the business. However, you have to be careful with existing contracts that go with the business you have purchased. Some of them may be outright disadvantageous, so you will need to find a way to terminate them to reduce your risk.

With an existing organizational structure, you can assume that control systems are also in place for accounting, inventory, and personnel. Although you may not find those systems in a documented manual, particularly in the case of small businesses, there will usually be some internal policies that are verbally or informally agreed upon by company personnel. You may want to review these policies and improve them with the help of a financial consultant.

Now, after looking at all the positive aspects of buying an existing business, let us now explore the downside. To begin with, it is possible that the existing business has a terrible public image because of poor service or poor product quality. It is also possible that its existing contracts are so restrictive as to prevent you from closing down certain product lines or certain stores that are losing. You may also inherit the bad relationship of the previous owners with their banks, thus making it difficult for you to negotiate on friendlier terms.

Also, when buying an existing business, you face the risk of misrepresentation; indeed, you normally would not know the defects of the business until after the purchase. To minimize this risk, it is advisable to conduct due diligence on all aspects of the business before buying it. In particular, you should be on the lookout for contractual obligations that may not have been disclosed by the seller, and for undeclared external factors that may affect the business, such as the entry of new competitors, the weakening demand for the product due to the influx of cheap goods or the advent of new technology, or any new regulations enacted by the government that is unfavorable to the business. Indeed, to know whatever potential problems the business you are buying may have, you will need to familiarize yourself with the industry where it belongs.

Before even thinking of buying an existing business, of course, you will need to analyze your personal criteria, qualifications, skills, and abilities. Ask yourself the following questions: How much are you willing to pay for a business? Do you have the needed skills and experience to run it? How much risk are you willing to take? After answering all of these questions, you can start looking for a suitable business to buy. Your best sources of leads will be your banker, lawyer, and accountants. They can refer you to likely prospects, but don’t expect immediate results. It may take time before you can find the right business to buy. Be patient and wait until the time is just right.
I hope you learn something about this article. Anyway, I agree with what the author says, " buying an existing business, of course, you will need to analyze your personal criteria, qualifications, skills, and abilities." Starting a business is a risk, so you better be ready.

I hope you learn something about this article. Anyway, I have to do some IT job search, I'm planning to work again.

Big Beautiful Women

Recently, I stumbled upon a website called BBW Chat Room. At first I was wondering what BBW means, until I tried it. BBW stands for Big Beautiful Women. Isn't it amazing how specialized chat rooms are now these days? It shows that internet is not only focusing on one group. I think this chat room is great becuase it shows that every one can meet up to express their own interest and lifestyle no matter what they look like or their size is.

It's Christmas!!!

Yipee! I can really feel the Christmas spirit this year, unlike last year. The air is so cold. I could smell hot choco and ham in the morning. Speaking of Christmas, I decided to take a quiz: What Does Your Christmas Say About You?

And here is the result:
Your Christmas is Modern

Your wish for the New Year is more happiness.

For you, Christmas is a spiritual holiday. You can't separate it from your beliefs.

You are a little impatient when it comes to Christmas. You can't wait to open your presents.

You like Christmas traditions, but you're not uptight about them. You do things your way.

You have some preferred ways of celebrating Christmas, but you're open to compromise.

You are too busy to really get into Christmas, but you try to do a little to celebrate.

You give a big during the holidays but nowhere near as much as you'd like to.

Merry Christmas!!!

Article: 10 (More) Reasons You're Not Rich

I came across this interesting article on Digg, 10 Reasons Why You Aren’t Rich. I agree, its not the lack of money; its our consumer behavior in handling the money.
10 (More) Reasons You're Not Rich by Jeffrey Strain

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 provided by TheStreet.Com

Many people assume they aren't rich because they don't earn enough money. If I only earned a little more, I could save and invest better, they say.

The problem with that theory is they were probably making exactly the same argument before their last several raises. Becoming a millionaire has less to do with how much you make, it's how you treat money in your daily life.

The list of reasons you may not be rich doesn't end at 10. Caring what your neighbors think, not being patient, having bad habits, not having goals, not being prepared, trying to make a quick buck, relying on others to handle your money, investing in things you don't understand, being financially afraid and ignoring your finances.

Here are 10 more possible reasons you aren't rich:

You care what your car looks like: A car is a means of transportation to get from one place to another, but many people don't view it that way. Instead, they consider it a reflection of themselves and spend money every two years or so to impress others instead of driving the car for its entire useful life and investing the money saved.

You feel entitlement: If you believe you deserve to live a certain lifestyle, have certain things and spend a certain amount before you have earned to live that way, you will have to borrow money. That large chunk of debt will keep you from building wealth.

You lack diversification: There is a reason one of the oldest pieces of financial advice is to not keep all your eggs in a single basket. Having a diversified investment portfolio makes it much less likely that wealth will suddenly disappear.

You started too late: The magic of compound interest works best over long periods of time. If you find you're always saying there will be time to save and invest in a couple more years, you'll wake up one day to find retirement is just around the corner and there is still nothing in your retirement account.

You don't do what you enjoy: While your job doesn't necessarily need to be your dream job, you need to enjoy it. If you choose a job you don't like just for the money, you'll likely spend all that extra cash trying to relieve the stress of doing work you hate.

You don't like to learn: You may have assumed that once you graduated from college, there was no need to study or learn. That attitude might be enough to get you your first job or keep you employed, but it will never make you rich. A willingness to learn to improve your career and finances are essential if you want to eventually become wealthy.

You buy things you don't use: Take a look around your house, in the closets, basement, attic and garage and see if there are a lot of things you haven't used in the past year. If there are, chances are that all those things you purchased were wasted money that could have been used to increase your net worth.

You don't understand value: You buy things for any number of reasons besides the value that the purchase brings to you. This is not limited to those who feel the need to buy the most expensive items, but can also apply to those who always purchase the cheapest goods. Rarely are either the best value, and it's only when you learn to purchase good value that you have money left over to invest for your future.

Your house is too big: When you buy a house that is bigger than you can afford or need, you end up spending extra money on longer debt payments, increased taxes, higher upkeep and more things to fill it. Some people will try to argue that the increased value of the house makes it a good investment, but the truth is that unless you are willing to downgrade your living standards, which most people are not, it will never be a liquid asset or money that you can ever use and enjoy.

You fail to take advantage of opportunities: There has probably been more than one occasion where you heard about someone who has made it big and thought to yourself, "I could have thought of that." There are plenty of opportunities if you have the will and determination to keep your eyes open.

Article: Always short of cash?

I found a good article for people that are always short of cash.  It is an article by Henry Ong.  
If you experience cash shortages even if your business is booming, it’s time to tweak your accounts payables management
By Henry Ong

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes experience cash shortages even if your business is booming? No matter how much money your business generates, perhaps you always feel that you are always short of cash every time your suppliers are knocking on your door. The cause of the problem may be poor accounts payable management. When managing cash flows, therefore, you should remember that timing your accounts payable payments is as crucial as collecting your accounts receivables.

You can manage your accounts payable by stretching out the payment terms as long as possible without damaging your credit standing to suppliers. There are some business owners who pay their payables too early simply because they have so much cash in the bank, but they don’t know that they lose the opportunity to earn extra interest income on their cash. On the other hand, there are entrepreneurs who pay their suppliers too late and end up being slapped with penalties and charges. It is thus important that you manage your payables to the best interest of both parties.

As a guide, you can determine your days payable outstanding by first computing your payable turnover. For example, assume that your accounts payable at the start of the month was P150,000 and that during the month, you made total merchandise purchases of P250,000. After one month of operation, you found out that the balance of your accounts payable by month’s end was P100,000. To compute for the payable turnover, divide your total purchases of P250,000 by the average accounts payable of P125,000; this will give you a ratio of 2.0x. This ratio simply tells you that you pay for your purchases two times a month. To get the number of days payable outstanding, divide 30 days by the ratio 2.0 to get the average of 15 days.

What this means is that on the average, it takes about 15 days for you to pay your suppliers. With this information on hand, you can now check how many days it takes you to sell your inventory and collect all your receivables. Ideally, the total number of days of inventory and receivables should not exceed your days payable outstanding; this way, you would receive all cash collections just in time when you are about to pay your suppliers. In this example, let us say you can convert all your inventories into cash in 12 days. This would mean that on the 12th day, you would already have the available cash to pay your suppliers and enjoy three more days before your accounts payable becomes due. You can then take advantage of this by depositing the cash in an interest-bearing bank account.

If business is slowing down and you are finding it difficult to unload your inventory and to collect from your customers, you may consider stretching out your credit terms with suppliers. From the same example, if the number of days to convert your inventory to cash is rising to 18 days from 12 days, you may need to negotiate your credit terms with your suppliers, for instance by having them extended by at least three more days up to 18 days to protect your cash position.

Sometimes, so you will be encouraged to pay early rather than on the due date, suppliers may offer you a trade discount like, say, a 2 percent discount if you pay within 10 days for an account payable due in 30 days yet. In general, trade discounts are good because it allows you to take advantage of it to lower your purchase costs. But there are times when trade discounts are not favorable. How would you know if it is good or not? You can do this by computing the effective interest cost assuming that you are going to borrow the money to pay your account in 30 days. You then should compare this to the prevailing borrowing rate from the bank. The formula for effective interest cost is EAI = (discount / 100 percent - discount) x (365 / payment period – discount period).

Suppose the prevailing borrowing rate is 16 percent per annum and you are offered a 2 percent discount if you pay in 10 days an account that is otherwise payable in 30 days. Using the above formula, we will find that the effective annualized interest cost is 37 percent as compared to only 16 percent, so it is wise to take advantage of the discount. If you have negotiated your credit terms to 60 days, your effective interest cost would be 14.9 percent, lower than the prevailing bank rate of 16 percent. In this case, you can afford not to take the 2 percent discount because it is cheaper to stretch out your payment.

It is perfectly all right for you to control the terms of accounts payable so it is to your advantage. Perhaps, it will be helpful if you can put a monitoring system where you can sort all accounts payable that will soon be due; this way, you will know just how much cash you will need to prepare to pay your suppliers on time.

While you may feel ashamed and embarrassed, ignoring the problem or trying to resolve it when you really need professional help to do so is not smart. Bearing your finances to a stranger, moreover, is far less difficult than to a relative or friend.
