With numerous redevelopment projects in and around Cheapside finally nearing completion, including the much heralded One New Change office and retail complex, Abbey Business Centres explore what benefits the ‘new Cheapside’ could have for your business if you were to rent office space in the City of London.

The area around Cheapside boasts some of the most historical sites that London has to offer – including Monument and St Paul’s Cathedral. This backdrop ensures the district is one of the most attractive locations for businesses seeking office space in London. A point proved by the fact that a number of the world’s biggest organisations now run their operations from numerous locations along the ancient medieval thoroughfare.

The drive to redevelop Cheapside has been brought about to rid the district of a small number of unsympathetic 1960s inspired buildings that currently occupy valuable real estate. The hope is that projects like 5 Cheapside and Bow Bells House will ensure Cheapside is the undisputed number one location of choice for multinationals seeking office space in the Capital – as well as bringing back a renewed sense of vibrancy to the area that seems to have been lost since the financial crisis began.

You can gain a head start on the likely clamour for office space in the Square Mile however by taking a serviced office suite with Abbey at their business centre on St Martin’s le Grand – situated towards the western end of Cheapside.

Located next to St Paul’s London Underground station, their Grade II listed office retains many period features that will provide a subtle contrast to the very modern developments currently being erected. Set over 5 floors, these serviced offices are also within easy reach of Moorgate, Barbican and City Thameslink stations ensuring accessibility will not be an issue for you and your employees.

Prices at Abbey’s London EC1 business centre start from as little as £250 per workstation per month and with rental prices across the City currently on the rise, there is no better time to take affordable office space in the area.

To arrange a viewing of this Cheapside office space, call Steve White today on 0207 397 8300.

Hattiesburg, MS – September 23, 2009 – It’s impossible to miss the signs that the American economy has taken a hard hit over the past couple of years. At one point, bankruptcy filings were up to 6,000 a day. An estimated one in five businesses will close this year, and those that manage to ride out the economic crisis are struggling to deal with excess inventory generated by changes in consumer spending behavior. These companies are finding a solution to their inventory problems with InventoryBuyer.Net.

Inventory liquidations are usually not the most pleasant experience, but the current economic crisis has made the need to liquidate your inventory an almost inevitable part of business, says Justin Eckrich, the Marketing Director for InventoryBuyer.Net “The tightened economy is bringing even well-managed businesses to their knees.”

Once upon a time companies struggling with excess inventory could point the finger at poor management and ineffective salespeople. The current global recession has changed all that. Changes in consumer spending due to a decrease in resources and rising unemployment have left many businesses looking for channels through which to dispose their excess inventory and free up company resources that could be put to better use elsewhere. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. InventoryBuyer.Net offers these businesses the opportunity to use their successful, hands-free turnkey system to turn their surplus inventory into working capital.

If your business is one of the numerous enterprises that have been adversely affected by the current economic downturn, it is quite likely you are contending with liquidity issues. Due to declining consumer spending, your problem inventory builds up and your cash flow declines. In this situation it makes sense to consider liquidating your surplus inventory as an immediate solution for increasing your cash flow, says Eckrich.
He adds, Employing a professional liquidation company to help with this process can give you the added benefit of leveraging their specialized knowledge and experience with selling excess inventory in secondary markets.

The company works with retailers, wholesalers, distributors, bankruptcy trustees, and lenders to help them solve their liquidity problems. They provide brand control, channel control, inventory removal, shipping and a wealth of experience to provide companies with the resources they need to rapidly dispose of their excess inventory, increase their operating capital and conquer the pressing liquidity issues caused by the unnecessary expense of company resources due to carrying surplus inventories.

Inventory liquidation is one of the easiest and fastest ways to increase your company’s cash flow, states Eckrich.’We offer unparalleled experience, unique skill-sets, and creative solutions to meet every need, every situation, and every obstacle. InventoryBuyer.Net. is offering a FREE liquidation quote for a limited time. Please visit www.InventoryBuyer.Net or call 1-877-279-3353 for more details.

New York, NY, September 9, 2009 – Fast and affordable online service for image editing and photo design – PhotoHand.com is quickly turning into one of the most valuable online resources for small/SOHO business, entrepreneurs and professionals looking to boost their images.

Traditionally limited by modest marketing budgets and now influenced by the current recession, professionals and small businesses are reconciled with the fact that their promotional images can’t rival those of corporations. PhotoHand.com is changing this perception by bringing Madison-Avenue quality image editing and photo design to Main Street folks.

The strictly online mode of operation might not fit the processes of large companies but it is perfect for Actors, Models, Consultants, Dentists, Indie Designers, Small Manufacturers, Beauty Professionals, Tattoo Artists, E-shop Owners… the list goes on.

Just upload your photos through PhotoHand.com website, supply your directions in plain language (what you want or what you don’t like in the photos) and in three business days you have the images that will make you or your business stand out – all without breaking the bank.

PhotoHand’s fees start at $3.50 per photo for complete cosmetic retouching. For $11.95 your product photo will be altered into an ad worthy of glossy magazines. Online proofing and changes are free.

Unlike many photographers, PhotoHand works under the “work-for-hire” clause and thus does not claim copyright over retouched photos or photo designs. This means PhotoHand’s clients have the full ownership of their images and can take them to any printing company of choice.

PhotoHand.com works with amateur photos as well as with professionally shot images. The company realizes that many business owners or professionals take one shot at a time when they are ready with a new sample and paying $75-150 an hour for one-two photos is excessive. Most of them have long figured out how to use powerful digital cameras and how to set up the lights for a shoot.

Naturally, such DIY photos need some editing help but so do professional shots, as PhotoHand can attest. With a little bit of post-production TLC, PhotoHand makes such photos shine.

After all, it’s 60% how you look, 35% what you sound like, and 5% what you say.

Writing compelling business plans is a key aspect to get Canadian government grants. A business plan serves as your proposal to the Canadian government. The merits of your application therefore will be based primarily on the business proposal that you have submitted. So you have to learn how to create a small business plan that will catch the attention of reviewers. Once the grants reviewers noticed your proposal, then you will have a greater chance of getting a positive response from them. So here are some basic tips on how to create a good business plan that can catch the attention of grant reviewers.

First, you have to avoid using a template for writing your business plan. Business plan templates lack sophistication and character. Your business plan therefore will also lack character so the reviewers can easily bypass your proposal. What you should do is to create and customize a business plan according to your own personal styles. You will notice that your business plan will become more organized, clearer, and well planned. Those who will review your business plan will also notice the uniqueness of your proposal. Because of this, the other components of your business plan can also be reviewed which means you now have a greater chance of getting a positive reply from the reviewers.

Second, you must also avoid writing long and difficult to understand sentences. Keep your proposal and business plan short. Make sure to write all the essential elements of your plan on the first page of your proposal. Do not make long winded introductory statements. Instead, focus on your main points and state these on the first paragraphs of your business plan. Remember, small business grants reviewers are very busy people. They have to read and review thousands of applications each day. So they do not have the time to read all the contents of your proposal. But if you can provide a concise and compelling business plan right on the first page of your proposal, then you will have a good chance of getting positive reviews and eventual approval.

Third, always show proof of profitability and business viability. Small business grants reviewers are more interested in your track record. So no matter how lofty your proposals are, they will still review your business track record. You have to provide them with clear and precise records of your company’s profitability. This way, you can show proof that the government small business grants program will not be wasted on your company. You can provide financial projections but these should always be based on your current financial strengths and fiscal competence. Remember, small business grants are designed not to bail out failing businesses. These grants and subsidies are designed to further boost the profitability of small business enterprises in order to stimulate the entire economy.

These are the three key aspects of a compelling business plan. Make sure that you can write a business plan or proposals that will catch the attention of the grants reviewers. Once your plan gets noticed, then your proposal will be reviewed further which is the first step towards outright approval.
