Just bought a business and have a question about returns?
For Example a just brought back a product that he purchased before we took ownership. The box was damaged and the date on the receipt was from the 25 of April. My question is do we have to abide by the old owners warranty policies or can we enact our own policies and not accept the return?
Best Answer: It depends on your purchase agreement.
If you purchased the business 100% as is, then you are exactly the same as the old owner and need to abide by the return policies that were in place at the time of purchase.
You are free to change the policy going forward, as long as you communicate this change to the customers.

Hi so I have a bachelors in social work not alot of expirience and I just got hired as a residential case manager for a group home for at risk teen boys.

Should my business respond to a bad online review?
I own a taxi company in Phoenix Arizona. I pride myself on the excellent reviews we have gotten over the years. However, a few days ago, we had a customer who had complained to me that my driver had told her a certain trip would be $60, then charged her $160. When I got to the bottom of the story, I found that the trip, according to Google maps, was in fact a $160 trip. In an attempt to mollify her, I refunded the disputed $100 anyway. Then I find out she has written a bad review on Google, and distorted a lot of the details. She never mentioned, for example, that I refunded her disputed money. Nor that she and her friend had been drinking. Here is her review, verbatim:
"Worst taxi ride of my life! My car broke down north of Phoenix and when I called and gave them my exact location (exit number on freeway), I was quoted $60. When the cab showed up, he would not turn the meter on and said that we were actually going to be charged $150!! The driver had extremely poor eye sight and tailed vehicles in front of us while going over 80 mph. Dangerous driving and dishonest pricing. "
here is my response:
"As the owner of the cab company in question, I feel I need to respond to Mona's rating. She does not mention that she and her friend had been drinking that night she called, and stopped for additional liquor on the way home. She was quoted $160 by my driver; not $60. In using Google Maps from her pick up point to her drop off point, the mileage was dead spot on for the meter rate charged. When she called to complain, I graciously refunded $100 of the charge--the amount she disputes. I am sorry she did not have a good experience with this driver, but in five years of him driving for me, this is the very first complaint I have ever received."
Should I leave my response up? Should I edit it? What do you think??Best Answer: Remove the part about them drinking it does not matter be polite and mention it was a misunderstanding between the driver and passenger but becau... Read More »

How do I figure out what to charge for services that may vary?
My husband is a handyman and I know there are other contractors like him who could work more if they have a person taking care of their calls, appointments, etc. I know I can do that for contractors working from my own home office. I know all I need is the calls to come to there phone and be transferred to mine or if they have people leaving messages now all I need to do is call them back to set up appointments. The problem is I have no idea as to what I can charge for this service.
Different contractors will have a different volume of people calling. Some might want me to do more than set appointments. I am really good at sales and they might need me to tell more about their business. I don't know what else I could do but whatever the secretaries used to do for these contractors before they decided to use recorders instead and do the rest themselves.
How can I structure this? Thank you.Best Answer: The answer above has partly answered the question, but that doesn't mean it's the only answer. What you are basically doing, is turning yourself ... Read More »

Cleaning rates to charge customers?
I am in Sydney Australia and am trying to start up a small run for myself to get through uni. The cleaning rates are so varied! Some charge as little as $15p/hr whilst others charge $400 for jobs! I'm wondering whether I should charge an hourly rate of $35 or by the size of the place. 1 bedroom = $100, 2 bedroom = $120, 3 bedroom = $150 and so on. My rate includes products, equipment, ironing, bed making, laundry, windows and dog walking etc. Any ideas? It's just to make a decent living being self employed you need to charge this I think....to cover insurance, tax, super etc.
Small business owners of cleaning runs are encouraged to answer. If you have tips on advertising feel free to share! How should I put together a flyer? Should I charge window cleaning/ironing/dog walking separately?Best Answer: Rachel-

Do I have to refund this buyer on ebay?
Do I have to refund this buyer on ebay?
I recently sold a purse on Ebay for £30. It was in an auction and ended on May 6th. The buyer wants to refund it because she says it smells of cigarettes, however this is a complete lie because I am pregnant, so why would I smoke!! No one in my house smokes either. The item is as described and she only wants to refund it because of the way it smells.....
On my return policy, I have said I accept requests. by this, I meant only if it is not as described... not because it smells funny!!
What will happen if I ignore her and don't refund the item?? Do I have to refund her?
I honestly think she just received it and then changed her mind or something.There is no way the item could have smelt like cigarettes. I didn't state that it did or didn't come from a non smoking home (though it does)
auntie mame: I would not have listed it as smells like cigarettes because it didn't!!!!Best Answer: Contact your buyer via Email and state that it comes from a smoke and pet free home.

What are the available 401k accounts and their limits in 2012 for an independent contractor?
I am an independent contractor that is being paid on a 1099 basis. I did not setup a corporation so I am not being paid as an employee. I do not have any employees and nor do I plan to have any in the future. I would like to set up a 401k for myself to defer taxes.
What 401k accounts are available to me and what are the limits? It seems that my choices are limited to Simple, SEP, and SOLO. I called Vanguard and explained them my situations but the person I spoke to was not as helpful as I would have liked.
UPDATE: I spoke with Fidelity. Yes there are 401k options available for self-employed people. The one I am leaning towards is the SEP as it is easier to set up and stop. For 2012, you can put up to 25% or your earnings into it up to $50,000. Note this is not the same as the employer sponsored 401ks where the limit is $17,000. It seems the best way to get an ANSWER around here is to call up one of the investment companies who want your business.Best Answer: you cannot set up a 401k plan - that is only available as an employee - you set up IRA's or SEP's - call a large Mutual Fund company and I'm sure...
