Stating your own business.......it's not that easy as you think *ahem* *ahem*
04/05/07
This week was actually a really, really long week. So happy to find out that today is Friday. Today's computer class was a long day because we learned a lot of stuff today that's going to help us for the summative. We were actually supposed to look at two websites to learn more information about creating your business. Down below you can find some information about some topics.
Registering your business name: this is self explanatory. Over here, you have to register your business name. But there are few rules that you have to follow for this. If your business name is your actual name then you don't have to register. There is a specific fee to register your business name and that is $60 if your registering through Ontario Business Connects and $80 if your registering through mail. The name will expire in 5 years. Also, before you register the name you have to make sure that no one else has that name. If they do then you have to find another one. You have to pay $12 to check if your name is actually in use or not.
Taxes (income tax): you have to pay both the provincial and federal government. This money is based to how much profit you make minus the amount of your expenses. Expenses like
office rent and maintenance, mortgage interest and property taxes on property you own and use in your business, leased equipment, cost of buying or manufacturing any goods you sell, delivery, freight and transportation expenses, utilities, insurance premiums, fees for licences and permits fees for membership in a trade or commercial association, legal, accounting and other, professional fees, advertising, travel, employee salaries, etc.
Business records: you are supposed to keep a book of records by law. You're supposed to keep them for six years after you have did your taxes. If you have a good accountant then he or she will do that for you.
Licenses: for most of the businesses you need to get a licence from either federal, municipal or provincial government. The licence includes things like the location of your business and the qualifications of your employees.
Zoning: "All municipalities have zoning and building regulations" You have to check with your municipality authorities.
Insurance: what if you make a damage in your business? Then insurance is what protects you from it. There are many different types of insurances. Some of them are property insurance, business interruption insurance, general liability insurance, key person insurance, disability insurance, errors and omissions insurance. There is an agent or broker who would arrange the insurance for you.
Renting or buying premises: if you don't have a home-based business then you need to rent or buy premises. In order to decide if either you need to rent or buy premises you need to look at a couple of things. Some of them are: what kind of space you're looking for, security, parking, the amount of money you're willing to pay, etc. If you decide to rent a place instead of buying it then you have to sign a lease with the owner. On the other hand if you decide to buy it then you need to find a real estate agent.
Business communications: communication is really important in businesses. You have to be able to interact with your customers in one way or another. You can get some business tools like: computer/laptops, some kind of software (word processing, accounting, presentations, videoconferencing), a cell phone, etc. It's also good to have some kind of website for your customers.
Hiring employees: when you first start your business you may not need employees but you may want to think of them as your business gets bigger and better. When you start to hire employees you may want to look at a couple of things. They are: paying them on a regularly, training your employees, maintaining the records of your employees, etc. Also, you have to look at the Employment Standards Act which includes things like: hours of work, minimum wage, public holidays, overtime pay, vacation pay, benefit plans, pregnancy leave and parental leave, etc.

ADs......ADs........and more ADs
25/04/07
Yesterday some people went on the Quebec trip so now we have less people in all of our classes. This post is a filler for yesterday and today. Yesterday we spent the first half checking if the prices of our shares went up or down and if we have lost money or gained them! I lost $62.00 but it's o.k because I'm sure that I will gain money as the days pass by! We spent the other half of our class working on our flyers.
Today Ms. Griffiths and Mr. Case was absent so Ms. Brooking was our supply. We were given the whole class to work on our ad for one of the subjects. So how the day went. Once again this is the last computer class for this week because both tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is a day 4 which means no computers. So see you on Monday. Stay ALIVE!

OMG........MICROSOFT OFFICE again!!!!!!!
23/04/07
Today we learned about Microsoft Publisher which is one of the programs in Microsoft Office. Microsoft Publisher is one of the easiest programs but one of the programs that not much people have. This program is basically used to create newsletters, brochures, flyers, etc. Just like Microsoft Powerpoint, this also has templates for newsletters, etc. But Mr. Case that it will be better if you make your template because it will be boring for the viewer to see the same template again and again.
Our new assignment is to create either a flyer, newsletter or a brochure for one of the grade 9 subjects in Woodbine. At the moment I'm not sure about what subject to choose but I will soon!!!!

18/04/07
Today we didn't really do anything. We were just supposed to complete the chart for the five companies that we picked. After you finished it you were supposed to put it in the drop off folder. That's pretty much it other than that today is the last computer class for this week because tomorrow is a day 4 which means we don't have computers and Friday is a PA day. So see you guys on Monday! BYE!!!!!!

GOIN......GOIN.......GOIN......AWAY!!!!!!!
17/04/07
Today I wasn't in class because all of the business classes were on a trip to Toyota Plants. Well, according to me the trip was not that great but it was worth of missing a few classes. The most boring part was the bus ride. It took almost 2 hours to get there and to make it even more boring we had a seating plan so we couldn't get to sit with our friends. But on the way back to school we played games and all so it was fun!
Now about the trip! The place we went today is called TMMC (Toronto Motor Manufacturing Company) First when we arrived at TMMC we were shown a short video about TMMC and were explained couple of the safety rules we have to follow until we are still in TMMC.
After that we were taken to the manufacturing place to give us a tour. The tour was o.k. Not that great and not that boring. So overall the trip was fine.

MONEY.......MONEY.......MONEY
16/04/07
Today we learned about business! There are three types of businesses: Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships and Corporations.
Sole proprietorships: this type of business that is owned by one person. All of the profits and the loses will go to that person. If the business is being owned by more than one person then it's not a sole proprietorship.
Partnerships: this is a type of business where two or more people wished to do business together. Each partner will have to give their share of money or property and give their professional contribution of either work or expertise. If there's only one partner in the business and no one else joins in 120 days then the partnership will be closed.
Corporations: this type of business that is made up of individual share holders. One of the most important goals for each corporation is to operate for profit.

After learning about the three types of businesses we were assigned a project...AGAIN! The project is: we are each given $100,000 and we have to use this money to buy shares from 5 different companies. One of the websites you can use to check the prices of stocks, etc is www.tsx.com. After we decide what companies to buy from we then make a chart that includes: company name, date, value per share, amount of shares bought, and the symbol of the company. Every Tuesday and Friday you have to check the prices of shares again because it will change. You need check for 6 weeks. After the 6 weeks, you have to make a presentation to class saying what company you picked and if you lost money or gained money. HAVE FUN!!!!

Test Day................
04/04/07
I finally finished writing the HTML test! The test was o.k. It wasn't hard and it wasn't easy. I think I wrote a lot for the test because I finished writing the test and I looked up and there was only 2 other people who were still writing. I kind of felt embarrassed but I felt better after a while. I'm so happy right now because first I finished writing the test and next my birthday is approaching in 2 days. I’m finally going to be 15 like the other old people. Today's the last class of btt before the long, long weekend that's coming up. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

HTML......WEBSITES...........& MORE
23/03/07
Couple of days ago we got a new project. The project is that we have to create a website for Woodbine using Macromedia. The website needs to be either for students, teachers, other schools or for all ages and it needs to make people come to Woodbine J.H.S. There are two different things that you can do in Macromedia. One you can either type in the code and it will create the rest for you or two you can insert the title and images you want and it will create the html codes for you.
Macromedia is a really expensive program so Mr. Case advised us not to buy it. But there are other free programs that you can use to do this project. For example Page breeze. This project is due next Monday. We'll see how my website turns out.

Today is the last day before march break. This has been a very, very long week. I'm so glad that it's almost over. I have a really big art project that's due on the day back. I just hope that I finish that on time. Also, we don't have any homework for computers other than contributing something to the wiki. I'm pretty sure I can write some articles for the wiki during the March break. That's pretty much it for now. See you after the break.
