Dr Robin Rushlo, The driving force in Network Marketing  

Lots of people that get into business do so with at least one other person. Maybe that person provides money, maybe they have the technology or brain-power that you need, or maybe they are in it hook-line-and-sinker with you. Whatever the relationship, you need to be sure that both you and anyone that is involved know the expectations as well as the rewards. The more personal the relationship, the easier it is to put blinders on when it comes to the necessity of putting together a formal agreement.

There is an old saying, “Never get involved in a business venture with anyone that has less to lose than you do.” Before you enter into a partnership with anyone, you need to ask yourself several questions. Are you willing to give up at least partial control of your business? Is this person someone you want to work with (if they are going to take an active role)? Are you in agreement with fundamental questions such as the amount of risk you are willing to take and the goals for the business? If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” you might consider entering into an agreement of some type that doesn’t involve the other person taking an active role.

We all know that life would be much easier if we could just trust people. Unfortunately, too many times differing expectations, financial disagreements, and differing tolerance to risk can destroy even the strongest of relationships. For that reason, it is well worth you time to protect yourself, your business, and everyone involved by getting everything in writing. After all, you don’t want your life-long friendship or your new found friendship to end with the least bad feelings and the most a court of law (and lots of legal bills). You are much better off spending a little on legal fees and making a legally binding agreement. Work with the attorney to make sure you have covered all the bases. Encourage your business partner(s) to use their own attorneys to look over the agreement. People who are just investors are generally not looking for a hands on relationship with your business, so usually they only require some agreement concerning profits when and if your company becomes profitable.

Money may be tight at the beginning of your business, but using an attorney for a small amount of time and money can save you huge amounts of money and heartache later. You can even consider using some alternatives such as Legalzoom or Prepaid Legal which may be less costly. Don’t put your business or your relationships at risk. Put it in writing.

If you are in business for yourself, it won’t take long before you discover how easily paperwork becomes out of control. Even if you are running things alone and even if you are just starting off and even if you aren’t making any money (particularly if you aren’t making any money), keeping accurate and timely records in your business is absolutely essential. It is one thing to have trouble with an angry customer. It is something else all together to have an angry IRS agent!

Before you spend one dime in your business, figure out how you are going to set up your accounting system. This is probably going to involve some time of computer program (and there are plenty out there). It will also involve figuring out what kinds of things are you are going to need. Do you have invoices? Accounts receivable (i.e., will people owe you money)? Employees (and thus payroll)? Accounts payable (i.e., will you owe people money)? Certainly you will be buying things. Do you need to worry about depreciation? Leases? As you can see, the list can become daunting very quickly.

Don’t panic! Once these systems are set up, it is usually pretty easy (if a little tedious) to keep track of things. The key is setting up a system that is easy to use and that you understand. Using a bookkeeper or accountant may be a wise investment. At least get one to help you set up your systems. Generally a bookkeeper can do this for you. It will be well worth the money and will save you a ton of headaches, especially at tax time. Find one that is familiar with your type of business. Not all businesses have the same rules and regulations for taxes, etc. Also find one that is willing to take the time to explain things to you. Even though accounting is really just keeping track of money, it can be fairly complex and you need to be sure you understand what is going on. If you get into trouble with the IRS, they are going to be looking at you, not your bookkeeper. You are ultimately responsible for the finances of your business.

The second key is to keep things current. Waiting six months to enter receipts can make the task seem overwhelming. If you find yourself having trouble keeping up, you might wan to consider using a bookkeeper, at least on a part-time basis. You can usually find one that can work with you, even if you only need them for an hour or two a week. Generally speaking, it is not worth your time to spend a lot of time doing data entry when a bookkeeper can do it much more effectively and efficiently. If you get too far behind on your paperwork it is also difficult to know where your business is financially and that can be dangerous.

No job is complete until the paperwork is done. You work hard on your business. Don’t let it get off course by not keeping track of your finances.
