ONE. Find out the source. Upon receipt of the financial information of a franchise, ask what the source of information, for example, is if it is, a historical average or what the rationale presented estimates is.

DOS. Initial investment. Apply the concepts and the total amounts to invest, reviewing its scope. This information at least must include pre-operating expenses, construction or refurbishment of the premises, unit equipment, inventory, advertising startup and working capital.

THREE. Payments to the franchisor company. Economic information of a franchise must include clearly the consideration for the license to use the mark, technology transfer and technical assistance that will receive as a franchisee. To be clearer, we mean the amount of the initial franchise fee, the royalty and / or advertising fee, if applicable).

How does the actual development of the economy in spain 2010

Friday, October 8th, 2010

How does the actual development of the economy in spain 2010On other occasions, I have mentioned already in this column that the political positions of governor of the Bank of Spain born to an ideological vision of economic relations that does not correspond with reality.

The best proof is its continuing analysis and prediction errors, easily verifiable if a posteriori contrast their public statements he has actually been happening, or analysis made by the bank with the actual development of the economy.

Thus, despite having all the means at its disposal, the Bank of Spain and its governor (including other countries) were unable to foresee the financial crisis even when it was two inches of their noses. Were it not for the seriousness of the situation would be laughable that someone who has demonstrated many times his lack of wisdom and insight in the analysis of reality is present now to the public as having the keys to overcoming the crisis.

And despite enjoying all the political skills, the Bank of Spain has been unable to meet the main objective is entrusted, to prevent the rise of wrecks, and has allowed housing to reach the highest levels of history.

The governor also maintains long as their colleagues in the European Central Bank, a position on fiscal policy based on ideological conviction alone on the role of public spending and taxation that is slowing across Europe the ability to create economic activity sufficient to achieve full employment and provide their citizens welfare and progress, in order simply to safeguard the interests of big companies that dominate the European market and the political institutions themselves.

The Protection of Consumers in the Reform of Financial Supervision

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Priority to the protection of consumers in the reform of financial supervisionThe European Parliament has adopted today, after a year of negotiations, legislation to reform of financial supervision in the EU. The new legislation provides for the establishment of three European supervisory authorities in banking, and insurance markets. In addition, there will be fourth inspection body, which will alert the increased risk in the economy of the EU. These authorities will be operational in January 2011.

-22 September 2010 / Casacochecurro.com The three new supervisors will replace the existing advisory committees so far and will have new binding powers, inter alias, resolve disputes among national supervisors and prohibit risky financial products. Furthermore, in the future may acquire new skills, because the legislation should be reviewed within three years.

This new system aims to provide the necessary protection to prevent further cases like Fortis, the unilateral ban on short sales uncovered by Germany and the losses incurred by insurance holders in the UK, Ireland and Germany after collapse of Equitable Life. Also contribute to strengthening the single market in financial services and better protect investors.

New powers
Several Member States, especially those with major financial centers, have tended toward a limited reform, which meant trimming the powers of the authorities proposed by the Commission. However, the rapporteurs of the European Parliament have campaigned for reform negotiations in depth, with new powers binding on the European authorities.

The final agreement provided that the new authorities are competent to adjudicate disputes between national supervisors. For example, if two national authorities are unable to reach agreement on what measures applied to a bank operating in both countries does not meet EU law, European banking supervisor is the one with the last word. If national supervisors will not act, EU authorities may impose its decision directly to the financial institution. In addition, the new authorities may intervene as a mediator on his own initiative, without having to wait for a request from a national supervisor.

In addition, the European authorities will coordinate the work of national supervisors to strengthen control over cross-border financial institutions.

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

development of technology is affecting our businessToday more than ever, our prosperity as organizations, corporations and individuals, depends on how well we understand the forces that transform the world, because we can adapt to changes, increasingly rapid and intense. In a recent survey by Ernst & Young on the mega trends that mark the course of the planet, Dr. Ian Pearson, a renowned British scientist and futurist, said the economy will become more “human” in the next decade, given the leading role will play and artificial intelligence technology in production and business management.

The increasing spread of social networking software will create more space for the participation of people who use technology to channel their frustrations citizens and organize actions that leaders will focus on online, leading to boycotts and other actions. As a result, CSR will be a key factor for survival, and companies need to adapt to new threats and opportunities. Integrity and transparency are key factors in preserving the credibility and business reputation, and not lose the confidence of customers, who will take on greater power and be more demanding when deciding whom to buy.

the agenda and the role of corporate boards will also change. Proper risk management is probably the most important. In addition, the boards should more closely monitor the managers, challenging them on whether there are sufficient resources, including human and financial resources to successfully execute the strategies defined. The boards will have to become more involved in the decisions of companies, especially those that involve greater risks, with particular emphasis on issues of control.

The post-crisis world will usher in changes in legal and tax structures of financial firms, will have higher capital requirements, regulatory and prudential measures more stringent, and demands for more and better financial information to report, among other changes.

Why modify the industrial department as micro Breakpoints

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

 modify the industrial department as micro BreakpointsThe Ministry of Industry, by Debora Giorgio, modified the breakpoints that allow a company to qualify as micro, small and medium, allowing increasing the number of firms covered in the sector, and thus increases the number of those that can access to programs and tools available.

The definition of micro, small, medium or large business that uses the Ministry is based on the billing, so that any company can calculate whether or not sees comparing their total sales (average of the past three years) with the limit that defines the Ministry of Industry. This limit varies depending on the sector.

Resolution 21/10, published in the Official Gazette, raises new maximum values of total sales that make a company be considered micro, small or medium, provided access to the programs of the SME Secretariat of the Ministry of Industry and to other schemes and financial programs of the State.

As a novelty, the decision of the SEPYME adds two additional steps: the first is that in calculating the level of sales of the company to compare with the official limit is allowed to deduct from the total sales of exports, up to 35% of total sales. Thus, for every $ 100 of sales can be taken from the exports to $ 35.

The second measure provides that once the company shows its quality of Sees to a public program, maintains that status for 24 months, regardless of the actual development of their sales. Both measures aim to encourage exports of Sees, and facilitate access to government programs, allowing also the company to temporarily exceed the revenue limit, as happens when you do extraordinary exportation.

Giorgio explained, “This update enables dynamic and flexible SME business concept, allowing the target population for public policy programs of the Secretariat Sees to spend more time within the universe of assistance. Thus, the growing Sees can still receive our assistance and adapt its organizational structure egg with support from the Ministry, so that when you finally stop being Sees for their billing is ready to be act like a big company. “

The measure expands the universe Sees by supporting nearly 4,000 firms, with existing limits above, and did not qualify as Sees, as Sees Secretary said, Horace Rural.

It is noteworthy that means total annual sales, the value of sales arising from the average of the last three accounting information sheets or equivalent (properly documented), excluding value added tax, the excise tax that might apply and, new, net exports arising from the above balances up 35% of total sales. In the case of companies whose age is less than that required for the calculation established, we consider the average annual sales proportional verified since its launch.

Take for example the promotion ties used in sporting events. They can be a walking advertisement for a particular sports team, manager or financial sponsor of the event. It is the presence and use mass really says a lot about those who are or the crowd in general.
