A beach home sounds a very good idea to me! But you have to see things in their context. How popular is the beach you have your land on, for example? A less popular beach attracts a type of tourists, while a very popular beach attracts other kinds.

Is there an inventory software that is able to calculate the price of a certain software installation job?

There are some inventory software providers that could program that piece of software to do that, but I’m afraid that if you want it for your own software programming business, you’ll either have to do it for yourself or pay others to. There isn’t a software that can do exactly what you need, only templates, which you can adjust to your needs.

Yes, you can get a general liability business insurance with bad credit, you just have to look for companies that won’t look at your credit. Also, you should know that monthly rates can get pretty high, so, if you feel you can cope with paying those, go for it!

Is it alright if I want to transform one of my commercial building’s rooms in a living space?

It depends on where your commercial building is places, because areas in a city are divided in commercial, living and commercial living zones so you should check that out because it may be illegal. However, if the building is yours, I see no problem.

Yes, it is legal for such a directory to ask for financial company information. Actually, I believe it is compulsory for you to include your yearly social capital. You’re doing it on bill releases anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem.

The best way to deliver policy and procedures to employees who work abroad is to create a trainer position (if you don’t already have one) and to send this trainer in the places your company activates all over the world, to offer training sessions to your employees.

Unless you are a programmer and web developer yourself, the easiest way to buils an e-commerce website is to have it done by a web designer. The problem isn’t really the design itself, because that can be done, the problem is the afterward hosting of the website.

If I am involved in a by owner sale process, would it be inappropriate for me to show up with an attorney when the exchange is taking place? He is actually my friend, he’s not charging me anything for his services.

Why would it be inappropriate to show up with your friend, who’s an attorney, at a by owner sale? This type of sale excludes the presence of a real estate broker, who is usually taking a big commission out of the process, but it doesn’t exclude the presence of an attorney. The seller would probably show up with an attorney himself!

Taking into account the fact that the minimum of carpet cleaning equipment should appear in your start up business plan, I doubt you can actually start a business if you didn’t purchased the basic equipment. What do you intent to work with?

What would be a good career path for a person who has worked in construction project management for five years?

question posted by Damion on January 13th, 2009 02:41

accepted answer has been given by Cervantes

I would say that after five years of working in construction project management it is time you opened your own construction business. You already have made a lot of contacts and you know how the market goes. If you have enough money, you could actually buy a business which you can then remodel the way you want.
