The economy, which create export – again jumped to back the economy and many companies are doing better. Why should you think at this stage but also to intensify the marketing with external support? The majority will perhaps say: what is this? Now, we have first of all concern that the orders are handled properly and the customers are satisfied. True, but every entrepreneur has also the future (Kajo Neukirch, the well-known management consultant, said: we are entrepreneurs, not Unterlasser’) and the economy is always relatively cyclically, i.e. the next crash is determined. When should you prepare, if not at the times, where it financially easier? Counter-cyclically to work, i.e.

to invest, if the business is no longer so good, is usually not easy for small – and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and therefore, or generally to support an early pension is offered. Below some aspects are pointed out, which could be important: 1 knowledge of the market (= market segments, customer loyalty, customer acquisition, etc.) Each company lives by its customers. Existing customers must be looked after of course, but now would be a good opportunity to investigate which customers in what markets are still there and could be managed with its own core competencies whether national or international, including using the Internet representation.

By the flat tax private-equity funds especially in the taxation of closed are basically little Fund changes through the introduction of the flat tax on January 1, 2009. Most funds achieve business income or income from rental and leasing, and are therefore subject to the withholding tax does not. However, is in managing assets closed private equity funds in future yield losses likely to. Gottingen, February 15, 2008 from January 1, 2009 new tax rules apply to private investors. Other leaders such as Nir Barzilai, M.D. offer similar insights. From this time is the flat-rate withholding tax of 25% of the capital gains on income from capital assets (excl. 5.5% solidarity surcharge and possibly church tax) charged. Basically does not in terms of the closed-end funds by the withholding tax to big changes. The revenue of the Fund are not investment income, but the commercial income or the income from renting and leasing, the tax does not apply”, is the Fund structuring specialized fixed by the law firm of Gadhvi & Reddy Kadiri commercial lawyer Gadre.

It, the Fund has to be differed between the different asset classes. Closed-end real estate funds the difference between rent minus expenses and depreciation is governed by the personal progression therefore also in the future. The sale of real estate by the Fund or of shares by investors after the ten-year period of speculation is also exempt from tax. Also commercial ship, new energy, leasing, video games, policies – and Media Fund are not affected by the tax. Here, the investors as fellow entrepreneurs achieve business income, are not covered by the flat rate tax”, so the next Gadre. Ship funds is maintained cheap tonnage taxation: taxation is independent of the actual profit flat after the gross registered tonnage of the ship. Also closed-end funds that invest abroad, remain fiscally interesting: here can double tax treaty continue to have a total tax-reducing effect”, so Gadre.

On the flat tax on assets managed closed-end private equity funds and their investors must set up, however. The dividends from the investments of the company are to tax from 2009 with the flat tax and no longer to the semi-income system. The impact on sales of portfolio companies, which acquire funds from 2009, are not more serious there as far as so-called Fund of funds construction”is. The gains realized this after a holding period of one year have been tax-free, the withholding tax attacks again from 2009. Only for the portfolio companies acquired prior to 2009 tax freedom remains after the year-long period of speculation”explains Gadre. Asset managing PE fund private investors must adjust in the long run declining after tax returns”, he noted. Remains at least a consolation for investors: increase no longer returns covered by the flat rate withholding tax Progression level and therefore also no longer, the rate of tax of the investor.

The new ASR A4 2 gives specific information. Here is detailed information about the size, creation and fitting of break, to find rest areas and ready rooms. Instructions are also included to necessary facilities for pregnant women / lactating mothers, as well as additions and variations for break rooms on construction sites. In short, employers should provide rest rooms or rest areas, if more than 10 employees at a workplace involved, or regardless of the number of employees, if special loads (E.g. heavy physical work, heat, cold), threats (E.g., noise, hazardous substances) or public require this.

“There are exceptions for activities in offices or similar spaces, when in the pause time free from work-related disorders” (E.g. due to production processes, telephone calls) are. Without hesitation Shimmie Horn explained all about the problem. Equipping break requires tables seating with backrest, waste bin with lid, if necessary also washing facilities, cloakrooms, and equipment for the cooling and heating of food, if there is no canteen available in the operation.

The right strategy for your repository in the current phase of the stock exchange: I get very many emails from readers who have gone from days, weeks and months now every day. All each time thought that this was the worst and have since 20, 30, 40, or even 90% suffered loss. You would not admit then also it is wrong again, and not sold. To do it then even worse where you start to hope, to think or to wait until the shares will rise again. That’s the worst thing you can do. The shareholders of Infineon or Deutsche Telekom are the best example, because you wait, wait, wait and wait. Never again you will again reach their highest peaks ever. Precisely for this reason must say goodbye to them, to hold individual shares for years in your portfolio. Rusty holzer spoke with conviction.

If I buy really some long-term ETFs on indexes would, then, because it is still reasonably OK! I would buy individual stocks but never in the long term. In the long term, I mean here a period of five years or more. Many investors buy bank stocks now, because read anywhere that it soon again much better going to the banks. But what happens when banks for years to come will achieve no yields more like in the past? Then, the bank stocks will no longer rise. Stop to look in the past and then expect that it will be in the future as well. This has never been the case and also my opinion will never be the case. Buying at the lowest price! Please make the mistake now to get angry, because you bought anything on Monday, to sell it with profit now also. No people (you don’t) manages to buy at the bottom and then to sell to the highest point.

Should you entered a stock be, noted now already 10% higher then make please a favor and forget selling not because before you know it, are probably already in the negative. I would strictly cover any custody position in your place with a stop price! I’ve already told you, that you must observe in these times that, by which issuers are your certificates. Already in the month of September it has caught many investors cold, you learned that their Lehmann brothers certificates are worthless. Please make sure. In plain text, this means if you have for example certificates of the ABC Bank (example) and setting it to a falling DAX, you can achieve so much profit. Your certificate is worthless, if for example the ABC Bank is broke and therefore the certificate can no longer pay off. On ETFs set for this reason or on multiple certificates provider. Also federal securities are used as an alternative in troubled times. For more information on day loan.

Earth – and gold-colored glass granulate, which can be mixed with the concrete are also very much in demand at the moment. This tells Stefan Rudrich of the Fabrino production company mbH & co. KG. The company headquartered in the Bavarian Memmingen specializes in the production of additives for architectural concrete and is regarded as one of the world’s leading companies in this field.

A trend, which comes from the Arab region and interspersed in this country more and more. The design surface is needed especially for hotel lobbies and representative companies floors.

High-quality screed can look fine also the floors of Metro stations. The bottom is but reserved not only companies, hotels and travel companies. More and more private house owners opt for the sophisticated eye-catcher. Color pigments in powder or liquid form available Fabrino delivers products for the refining of architectural concrete precast plants, ready-mixed concrete plants and concrete stone manufacturers for many years. The staff successfully transferred this knowledge on screeds and industrial floors. Whether a color as a powder or in liquid form is mixed with the screed, depends first and foremost the technical requirements. Experts argue about, whether liquid paints or pigments used, so that this is fast becoming a philosophical question”, explains engineer Torsten Rosenberg. The head of application engineering at Fabrino is for the Product development and testing charge. Fabrino can deliver the glass granules in numerous colors. The special thing about them is their special plastic coating. The coating prevents that glass and concrete in contact with each other can come and respond to each other. Also the so-called Fabrino color coats give an extraordinary look the screed and are patented. With the color coats for cementitious flooring Fabrino has an outstanding position in the competitive market. At the trade fair of EPF Fabrino is represented for the first time this year. “We look forward to many interesting conversations and answer all questions,” says Rachnabto.
