James Murray asked:


The structure of a certain business activity is called a business process. Business Process involves possible outcomes and the description of different tasks that are associated with a specific business activity. Business Process is essential in accomplishing the business goals of a certain corporate organization, which is clearly defined in the organization’s business strategy.

Business process have three categories in which to accomplish.

a) The management processes, which is followed to run the operation of the business and comply with all existing yet relevant requirements.

b) The operational processes, which is followed in delivering the business value to clients, and is considered as an integral part of a corporate organization’s core business.

c) The supporting processes, which is followed to support the core-based processes. It includes accounting, information technology (IT) support, and recruitment processes.

Realizing the importance of a business process in achieving their business objectives, there are companies that prefer to outsource some or all of their business process (most specifically the non-core processes) to third-party organizations. The main motive in outsourcing a business process is to allow the business to invest most of their time, financial, and human resources into core activities and focus on building effective strategies, which will fuel the growth of the company.

Being the structure of an organization’s business activity, you must give utmost importance to your business process as a whole. This is extremely important since the success or failure in achieving the goals of your business will largely depend on the process that you have followed, together with your business strategies and plans. Thus, without an effective business process, your business is as good as dead when the time comes.

Business processes which are non-core processes can be outsourced range from production to customer service to support functions, one such area is software development. Most outsourcing companies are from Western countries and they are delegating their work to outsourcing firms located offshore, especially countries located on the Eastern hemisphere, such as India, Philippines and China.

Since the global marketplace is fast-changing and highly-competitive, your business must concentrate on improving the productivity and at the same time trim down unnecessary costs. Non-core business processes are being outsourced since the tasks involved in these processes consumes time, essential resources, and energy. Thus, outsourcing these non-core business processes will help you achieve a cost-efficient system.

More companies are becoming comfortable with outsourcing their business processes, outsourcing most of their learning and development functions is still a new approach to many learning professionals. Moving the training and learning model that is completely in-house to one that will be handled by other individuals outside the business is a big leap. However, as mentioned earlier, it is important that these processes receive equal importance and consideration for the benefit of your business as a whole. Thus, despite of business process outsourcing as a new approach, many training and learning professionals are starting to get the grip of the new system and subsequently will follow the outsourcing trend.

Business process, especially the non-core one, needs to be given equal importance and attention to achieve an efficient business operation. Outsourcing these business processes will not be a waste of time and financial resources, but rather a strategy to be followed. Surviving in this highly-competitive global marketplace is not as easy as you think. You need an option that will work to your advantage and that is outsourcing.r business.

Terry Cartwright asked:


Running a business and ignoring or having inadequate accounting software is like building a house on top of a bonfire and not bothering to fit a fire alarm. Many small businesses run into difficulties sooner or later, it is a fact of business life. Timing and how those crises are dealt with are critical to both the success and in some cases survival of the business.

Important as self employed business usually dispense with regular presentations of the financial psoition and the ensuing discussion. Considering the financial state of a business is a critical area that is so often missed from the management of a small business.

Every business has to prepare a set of financial accounts. Those financial accounts may be produced manually or using financial accounting software. The main objective of producing the accounts is all too often to satisfy taxation requirements and not the financial control and management of the business.

When accounts are prepared on an annual basis the day to day financial management of the business is reduced to the size of the bank balance. When that bank balance reaches a critical low level the small business will react but the action required to fix the problem may well have been endemic for many months. Early action is always best.

By using accounting software and the financial control it can offer the small business not only provides an early warning system but also indicates where management action is required. Financial accounts should be prepared by all small business on a monthly basis to maintain financial control.

Simple accounting software can produce an income and expenditure account which suffices for many small business enterprises who already have full knowledge of the business finances. Other types of accounting software can produce balance sheets and with a balance sheet the value of creditors, debtors, bank balances and assets. In larger organisations the financial accounts will be more sophisticated and produce analysis of all main areas of the business.

During the financial life of a business there are types when sales grow and times when sales decline. The amount owed by customers is called debtors and the debtor balance may grow in line with sales turnover but can also move according to the efficiency of the financial control and credit control systems in place. The movement in the debtor balance potentially having a critical financial effect on the liquidity of the business.

The overall movement of the debtor balance on a day to day basis is not always obvious and only by producing a specific total at the end of each month can the debtor balance be viewed and questions asked to maintain strong financial control. Slippage in credit control procedures must be tackled at the earliest stage to avoid a serious financial impact on the business.

Purchase expenditure can also increase and reduce and the creditor balances can increase and decline. There is a tendency in businesses not making sufficient profit for the creditor balance to grow as the time taken to pay suppliers is extended. Such action may be necessary and is a natural reaction but the real cause should be addressed, that cause being an inadequate level of profitability.

The profit and loss account for a small business should not be viewed as an administrative headache but a vital tool in the financial management and control of the business. A monthly profit and loss account produced by accounting software should be viewed more of a financial health check on the business.

The profit and loss account will show the sales turnover and a list of purchase expenses producing a net profit or loss for the month. By comparing the current month to recent previous months the trend of financial performance becomes obvious. This is a critical function of accounting software to produce real numbers that will indicate where action is required.

The accounting software retains previous financial information entered that enables sales to be monitored and the effect of sales and marketing campaigns to be seen in real numbers. Patterns of movements in costs are visible. Any numbers produced by the accounting software can then provide the basis for management action to either improve financial control or take management decisions to grow higher sales or reduce costs.

By using a financial accounting system to critically review the business finances on a regular basis provides both opportunities for sales growth and higher profit levels but also serves as an early warning system of business problems. Both a profit and loss account and balance sheet are definitive tools in the armoury of the accountancy function to achieving financial control of the business and producing the desired financial performance.

The absence of a suitable accounting software system or used purely for tax purposes once a year leaves the financial performance of the business to the intuition of the management and is unmeasured. If you are a sports fan and your team mangement wa sleft to guesswork you would not be a happy bunny.

A long jumper practises every day and believes he is jumping well but never measures his jumps or analyses his physical condition, training schedule, run up speed. It would come as no surprise if another long jumper with similar ability who monitored fitness levels, worked on the run up and jumping technique and measured every jump would in competition jump the farthest.

And so it is with accounting software and regular financial control. If the numbers are produced on a regular monthly basis the numbers can be diligently analysed and an improved financial performance will follow but most importantly business problems can be detected and fixed before they become terminal.

John Ugoshowa asked:


Try to imagine that you need a business process to be finished. You hire a professional in your country that charges about a hundred dollars to get the job done. This can prove to be too expensive for your company. What if you can get the job done, with the same quality made by a person with the same qualifications as the person you hired before, to do the particular business process at half the price?

This can prove to be very attractive. However, how can you be able to find this person with the same qualification but charges half the price your professional charges? The answer to this question is to outsource your business process in developing countries full of talented professionals.

Since developing countries have lower minimum salary rates, outsourcing can prove to be a cheaper alternative to do a particular business process that you need. Not only that, if your company is burdened with heavy workloads, outsourcing can help your company ease the burden. This will mean more efficiency and productivity for your company while saving a lot of money in the process.

By outsourcing your business process, you can be sure that you will be able to get the job done at half the price. Developing countries, such as India, China, Philippines, and others can provide cheap labor compared to hiring professionals in the United States.

Outsourcing companies is considered as a major industry in developing countries. Governments of developing countries are welcoming outsourcing companies to provide top quality jobs for their professionals with high paying salary. Although the salary you will give to outsourcing companies in other countries may be considered high, in the United States it will be considered to be very low, the minimum wage in developing countries is far lower than you can imagine.

Outsourcing business processes in other countries will also mean saving a lot of money on company insurance, social security payments and other benefits that you will be required to pay for if you hire a regular employee in your company to do the job.

As you can see, outsourcing your business process’ main advantage is providing your company with cheap labor and at the same time quality and professionally done jobs. The bottom line for outsourcing is saving a lot of money for your company.

So, if you are looking for a way to get cheap labor for your company, you can consider looking outside your country for outsourcing companies that can tailor your needs for your company.

However, before hiring a particular outsourcing company, you have to make sure that the quality of their work meets your company’s standards. Outsourcing companies are now providing ways for you to evaluate their work first before you hire them. Because of this, you can be sure that you will be getting the best outsourcing company to get your business process done.

Outsourcing doesn’t only provide cheap labor for your company, but it can also ease the burden of heavy workload because of the growing demand for your company’s services. Through outsourcing, you will be able to increase productivity and efficiency of your company.

However, you should always remember that outsourcing is not for everybody. You have to determine if your company should outsource your business process or not. If you think your company can handle it, you should keep the work in your company. But if it proves to be very burdensome, you should consider outsourcing. So, instead of hiring additional regular employees in your company, you can outsource your business process and save a lot of money.

Accounting Software Strengths

Easy to use by non accountants requiring no previous accounting knowledge and is basically a list of sales and a list of purchases on preset excel spreadsheets. Each workbook is arranged as 12 monthly spreadsheets with preset columns and uses an entry code letter to analyse both sales and expenditure.

Cash and bank spreadsheets are included as optional extras for those businesses that require them with a built in automated bank reconciliation. Entering bank transactions and a bank reconciliation has been arranged so the bank statements can be listed and when the statement total is entered the bank reconciliation is automated.

Monthly profit and loss account also includes a financial health check based upon an automated tax forecast to enable businesses to monitor their financial performance. By entering drawings the package then compares the net profit made with the likely tax liability plus the drawings.

Quarterly vat returns are generated for vat registered business and is also suitable for non vat registered business. Producing a vat rteurn is very easy. Simply click the vat file to open and click the date required from the drop down box and the vat return is produced.

The vat calculations can be disabled by non vat registered small businesses by simply changing the standard vat rate from 17.5 to zero making the accounting software suitable for both vat registered and non vat registered businesses.

The accounting package includes a stand alone sales invoice generator which requires invoices generated to be manually input into the sales sheet.

Capital allowances are automnated on the fixed asset schedule by simpoly listing assets bought. Depreciation is also automatically calculated with preset percentages that can be changed as required.

A major benefit of using this small business bookkeeping software is the templates are arranged in such a way to automatically generate an excel copy of the self assessment tax return. The excel self assessment tax return is arranged in the same layout as the official inland revenue form with the same box numbers making it easy to copy the figures from one to the other for submission.

Accounting Software Weaknesses

The Self-employed accounting software UK is based upon single entry of transactions and does not produce a balance sheet which is an optional requirement for self employed and therefore not a problem for the vast majority of businesses. DIY Accounting actually recommend clients who are self employed and wish to produce a balance sheet to use their Limited Company accounts package which does produce a balance sheet being based not on single entry but on double entry principles. The small business accounting software is suitable for a single tax year, the latest being 2007-08 and does not cater for accounting periods other than April to April. There are benefits in anyone self employed adopting the standard April to April financial year as this avoids tax allowances from two separate years being a feature of the accounts. When used by small businesses using the cash accounting system the bookkeeping entries to the sales and purchase sheets must be entered according to the dates money is paid or received rather than the dates invoices were issued. At the end of the financial year any invoices not yet entered require to be listed to adjust the final profit and loss account figures. This a major disadvantage if using the vat cash accounting scheme rather than the Accounting Software being reviewed.

Very Low Priced

At £12.99 the accounting software is basically available for loose change and will save many businesses the need to employ an accountant potentially saving hundreds of pounds in professional fees. For the financial year 2006-07 the basic package for non vat registered business is available at just £9.99 and the standard accounting software for vat registered small business is £12.99.

Other Features

The product has a stock control feature to monitor any stock losses. The small business accounting software contains a wages interface that fully integrates the DIY Accounting Payroll Software when those files are saved into the same folder as the accounting software files. A major advantage of the package is that being on excel spreadsheet all transactions can be seen, no hidden databases, and easily changed as required. The sales and purchase spreadsheets include columns for entering CIS tax deductions and payments and the certificate numbers. The CIS tax being then automatically entered on the self assessment tax return. it is essential that users have a version of excel from 1998 onwards installed to use the program which is written on excel spreadsheets.

In the business society today the term “Outsourcing,” is rapidly emerging and making its way to a new trend in business processing. Commonly, outsourcing is getting a third – party company or individual to do a certain task. Usually the third-party is a Consultant, Contractor or even a freelancer.

The best example of a task that is being outsourced by a company is Customer Services. They hire third party individual to receive customer services- related calls and another very simple example is hiring someone to do the cleaning of your company office. Does it make sense?

Outsourcing vs. Offshoring

Oftentimes, the term outsourcing is being used interchangeably with offshoring. Outsourcing may or may not involve offshoring. Lets define offshoring to make things clearer. Offshoring is the process of transferring business processes or organizational functions to another country, regardless whether the task is outsourced or being done by the company.

During the recent times, the term has been used for technology related solutions such as Customer Support or Helpdesk, but it does not only end with the technology- related solutions but also even with non-technical, such as telemarketing, market research, customer services, and with manufacturing and engineering.

There are a lot of companies today that are offering outsourcing services, these companies usually caters to industries such as:

IT

Human Resource

Accounting

Facilities and Real Estate Management

The main reason that companies usually outsource is to effectively cut their cost and the following are:

Improve Quality

Knowledge

Operational Expertise

Staffing Issues

Capacity Management

Catalyst for Change

Reduce time to market

Risk Management

Customer Pressure

To Outsource or not?

The question that is always being raised by small business or even large companies. To engage or not into outsourcing. Risk is always bounded with business, but it can be manage, by choosing intelligently the right provider. Consider always the required skill and knowledge that is intended for your campaign. The skills and talent required for your campaign may not be seen and available with your internal employees.

Outsourced campaigns are more difficult to manage and oversee with an eagle eye while with the your internal employees, tasks or projects are easily evaluated . But if project reports are required and task are neatly defined , outsource projects may be manageable also.

Businesses are continually looking for solutions on how they can increase productivity and lower costs. In Economics, the essential elements for business success is by lowering the costs and increasing productivity. Success of a business leads to its growth in which leads to employment.

ng - NEVER, I will never outsource anything related to my company ever in my life.

If this is what you think when you hear the word outsourcing, please go ahead and read the rest of the article. This article should change your thoughts about Business Process Outsourcing. And would definitely guide you how to set up a successful and beneficial outsourcing model. Many corporates have already discovered the path of success called outsourcing. Now you must be wondering I have always heard my customers complain about outsourcing. Even when I call some companies, the support I get, makes me highly dissatisfied, then how can I outsource my services yet make my customers happy. Well, I would say it is possible, if done correctly.

It is not that your customers hate outsourcing; they hate outsourcing when they suffer because of it.

What does that mean? The customer would love outsourcing, if it is a pleasant experience for them. Now, you must be thinking, how to outsource, yet make your customers love it. By the end of this article, you will get to know how to outsource your business needs, without upsetting your customer. Let us get familiar with the basics of Outsourcing.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) contains the transmission of processes along with the associated operational activities and responsibilities, to a third party with at least a guaranteed equal service level and where the client contains a firm grip over the (activities of the) vendor for mutual long term success. This generally involves an organizations non-core processes. Outsourcing: Contracting some or all call center services to an outside company. OnShore: Onshore outsourcing is outsourcing within nearby region or the same country. Offshore: Offshore outsourcing is outsourcing beyond your country. Call Center: A term that generally refers to inbound centers, outbound centers, help desks, information lines or customer service centers, regardless of how they are organized or what types of transactions they handle. Help Desk: An inbound call center primarily utilized for support on product installation and troubleshooting. The same can be offered through Voice support, chat or email support.

Now that you understand few terms related to outsourcing, let us try to understand why it is important for your business.

Why is outsourcing necessary?

I am sure; you must have read about the term Opportunity Cost. An Opportunity Cost is the value of a product that is forgone when pursuing another product. For example, if a CEO of a company chooses to spend two hours a day on building more sales channels, something that could be easily outsourced, the opportunity cost is the value of the time he denied himself and his primary work. That time could have been used to take important strategic decisions about your company, or it could have been time well spent playing baseball with your kids. Either way, the time represents an opportunity cost, or you may call it an opportunity lost. Now let us try to understand how to make outsourcing a beneficial experience for both you and your customer. Cutting cost is the first thing most of the companies think about while outsourcing their business needs. Now this is the problem. As a company planning to outsource your services you should focus on these 3 things:

Quality of work desired. Customer satisfaction. Reduction in cost.

Most of the times, people forget about the first 2 and focus only on the 3rd point. Such a strategy leads to drop in the quality of service leading to dissatisfaction of customers. A detailed business plan would definitely lead to beneficial outsourcing. Let us take an example. If your company sells a DVD player and you plan to outsource your technical support, this is what i would suggest to keep in mind while making your Outsourcing Business plan.

A document detailing the required infrastructure for the call center. Qualification requirements of the staff. VNA (Voice & Accent) round of the TSRs (technical support reps). Quality guidelines for the call centers and the employees. Thorough product training. (This is where most of the small companies lack) A Complete Knowledge base, with detailed answers on each and every product. Customer satisfaction surveys. Blended outsourcing. Blended outsourcing means, having an offshore as well as onshore support center. If you require 100 technical support representatives, outsource 90 to offshore and keep 10 onshore. You can hire Level 2 support onshore. Timely updates to offshore call center. It is very important to inform your offshore call centers well in advance about any important updates or launch of new products. Please don’t forget to ship new player your company launches to the offshore call center well in advance, so that the representatives can be trained properly before the launch. Start slowly and gradually. Do not outsource your complete services at 1 time. If your business model allows, operate more than 1 call centers and that too at different locations. This would also give you benefits in terms of Disaster management. The most crucial thing: It is preferable to hire a professionally managed Business Process Outsourcing company to take care of your offshore outsourcing.

The basic need for outsourcing is to focus on your core business. That does not mean outsourcing your services and to forget about them. I would suggest hiring a Business process outsourcing company, expert in the field of outsourcing to manage your outsourcing needs. If you make a proper outsourcing plan and then outsource your business, it would definitely lead to a beneficial experience for both you and your customers. Always remember, Successful entrepreneurs are those who can see the big picture. They know when to delegate and how to accurately delegate tasks.

Business process is the skeleton of a certain business activity. It involves the description of different tasks and possible outcomes that are associated with a specific business activity.

• The supporting processes, which is followed to support the core-based processes. It includes accounting, information technology (IT) support, and recruitment processes.

Being the skeleton of your organization’s business activity, you must give utmost importance to your business process as a whole. This is extremely important since the success or failure in achieving the goals of your business will largely depend on the process that you have followed, together with your business strategies and plans. Thus, without an effective business process, your business is as good as dead when the time comes.

Realizing the importance of a business process in achieving their business objectives, there are companies that prefer to outsource some or all of their business process (most specifically the non-core processes) to third-party organizations. The main motive in outsourcing a business process is to allow the business to invest most of their time, financial, and human resources into core activities and focus on building effective strategies, which will fuel the growth of the company.

Since the global marketplace is fast-changing and highly-competitive, your business must concentrate on improving the productivity and at the same time trim down unnecessary costs. Non-core business processes are being outsourced since the tasks involved in these processes consumes time, essential resources, and energy. Thus, outsourcing these non-core business processes will help you achieve a cost-efficient system.

Non-core business processes that can be outsourced range from production to customer service to support functions (such as software development). Most companies that are outsourcing their business process are from Western countries and they are delegating the work to outsourcing firms located offshore, especially countries located on the Eastern hemisphere, such as China, Philippines, India, and Malaysia.

While more and more companies are becoming comfortable with outsourcing their business processes, outsourcing most of their learning and development functions is still a new approach to many learning professionals. Moving the training and learning model that is completely in-house to one that will be handled by other individuals outside the business is a big leap. However, as mentioned earlier, it is important that these processes receive equal importance and consideration for the benefit of your business as a whole. Thus, despite of business process outsourcing as a new approach, many training and learning professionals are starting to get the grip of the new system and subsequently will follow the outsourcing trend.

Business process, especially the non-core one, needs to be given equal importance and attention to achieve an efficient business operation. Outsourcing these business processes will not be a waste of time and financial resources, but rather a strategy to be followed. Surviving in this highly-competitive global marketplace is not as easy as you think. You need an option that will work to your advantage — and that is outsourcing.

James Banks asked:


It is a fact that at one point in time or another nearly all entrepreneurs need a bank business loan, either to start up the enterprise, expend it, or to bridge difficult times when the consumer turns fickle. Of the many lenders and types of loans available, a bank business loan will probably be the best bet for starting the venture. A bank business loan is often the best way to establish and maintain your venture’s credit rating, if it is fastidiously repaid.

But, if you are experiencing financial problems, is a bank business loan a good idea to use to get current on the debts? Just what is a bank business loan and what is the application procedure? A bank business loan is an unsecured loan that does not require collateral of any kind. It is based entirely upon the credit rating of all of the involved partners; the prospectus or the plan that was developed that outlines the venture, including both the financial liabilities and the anticipated income. You will have to provide well-organized and scrupulous detail, together with a good credit rating for this type of loan. A bank business loan is the primary vehicle for starting up an enterprise and gets a venture off to a good start, however it is a poor remedy for existing financial problems.

It is far better to obtain professional advice on how to deal with your financial problems. The first thing that a qualified business debt consultant will want to know is the type of loans and financial obligations make up the entire situation. If you have unsecured debts, especially a bank business loan, there is quite a bit the consultant can do to make things easier for you to repay your business debt, continue running your venture and even improve your credit rating. One solution that may be proposed is business debt consolidation, which consolidates all of the financial obligations into one account that requires just one affordable payment per month. This has been worked out by the consultant together with all of the creditors who have agreed to accept a reduced payment that is based upon a lowered interest rate.

If the financial obligation is more problematic and either represents a large amount, or has become delinquent, the consultant may recommend business debt settlement. This form of financial relief is aimed only at unsecured loans such as a bank business loan and business debt settlement can be effected in a couple of days.

With either remedy the credit rating will begin to improve almost immediately. When creditors see that a professional business debt reorganization program is being worked out, the business credit rating reflects their approval. However, it is always best to seek help before any real damage is done and to anticipate a remedy before it is actually required. With the advice of a good business debt consultant, any venture can stay on track without taking out additional bank business loans.
