Health-care bill needs major

improvement to be worth passing

By Governor Howard Dean, M.D.

for the Washington Post- December 17, 2009

Holidays and the New Year

Focusing on the holidays right now can take our focus off what we intend for ourselves in the New Year.

When you are considering… Continue

See What a Dream Can Do...

The Sunshine Foundation, the original wish granting organization, has been answering… Continue

Steps Taken To Good Fortune

Clean your desk – make room for new ideas.



Clean your room – make room for new technology.



Clean your home – make room for a New You!

Selling your Business??--Get it Pre-Qualified!!

As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has relaxed some of their policies in regards to lending. I said before that they “became a lot more flexible by making changes to the acquisition policies impacting purchases which included Intangible Assets. These changes give “Preferred Lender Providers” (PLP) more flexibility to provide business loans WITHOUT going through the SBA for final approval. In addition to providing PLPs with greater flexibility,… Continue

So far only four states have such a document available for the real estate industry and they are Arizona, California, Georgia and Tennessee.

The L1 visa is normally available to foreign business owners who wish to acquire a business in the U.S. and assign a person-- on an inter-company transfer—to manage the… Continue
