More than half of the visitors to this site taking part in a recent PRIME mini poll expect to sell their business as a going concern when they are ready to exit the business. A further 16 per cent also expect to keep it going, giving it to family or a friend.
Do you expect to eventually sell your business?
Source: visitors to www.primebusinessclub.com
About a quarter expect their business to close when they leave - and the great majority of these don’t expect to be able to make much from selling the assets.
So there is a clear split between those expecting to get extra money from the business when they exit and those who don’t. And this may be realistic - some businesses are worth something without the founder while for others the founder IS the business. The type of business is critical.
Where there may be some unfounded optimism is on how easy the business will be to sell. There does seem to be evidence that the size of the business is important here.
There is a well developed market for selling businesses over a certain size, with papers, notably Daltons Weekly carrying classified listing od businesses for sale, and specialist business transfer agents you can go to to help with a sale. But once you get below a value of about £250,000 for the business the market gets less interested, and the costs involved in selling start eating into the proceeds.

A quick observation that I wonder if anyone else has noticed: the increased number of people running out of gas.
It seems like at least once or twice a week I happen upon some poor soul who has pushed the gas fumes too far. This of course, is directly related to the catastrophic increase in gasoline prices over the course of the last year. But it is also a sign of the times, a sign of things yet to come.
Take note of the prior purchase at gasoline pumps. I have noticed a lot more “fixed dollar” or pre-paid purchases rather than complete fill-ups. At $4 a gallon, that last $10 to top of the tank is the difference between trimmings at dinner and an extra afternoon of leisure driving.
So my question is this: does this new price consciousness effect our political participation?
Now the obvious is, of course, people doing the wonderful work advocating for domestic oil production, such as drillforamericanoil.com or drillheredrillnow.com. But I have a theory that these gas prices are influencing more than just immediate policy considerations.
With people being more conscious about how much they have to extended themselves, and conversely, what their limit (financial or otherwise) is, it is highly probable the the political parties could become more fragmented should this state of economic turmoil continue. It should be especially worrisome for the McCain camp who is already having trouble rallying conservatives and libertarians behind him.
Let me put it this way: Politics is like any transaction. When the price gets too high, we have to limit our purchases, or if the cost is too great, skip it altogether. As it stands, with peoples mindset on limiting over extensions, it is possible that voters will curtail their political purchases of those ideas where the price is simply too great to pay. Namely- amnesty, opposition to ANWR drilling, free speech limitations and generally being a burr under the saddle of conservative politics.
Like the stranded motorist walking along side the road with the emergency gas can for a fuel fill up, these voters will jump at the first party to come along and offer them some assistance along the way. That is, they will find new markets for their predicaments.
I don’t expect this movement to be very big, but I do expect it to be significant enough where both parties will reel from the defectors. The Libertarian and Constitution parties would seem to benefit most from the wayward Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee supporter. McCain simply does not represent this class of voters well. Like the motorist needing the most bang for the buck they will pass on the $4 premium gas in favor of the discounted $3.50 gas down the street, even if it means going a little bit out of the way to accomplish the feat.
Now of course the owner of the premium station has two choices: 1) become indignant and reemphasize his position in the community (after all he does have cleaner amenities for the motorists needing a commode) or 2) lower his prices to keep from losing the defectors.
As it stands, it seems, the premium owner is refusing to budge and people are choosing to risk it. A wonderful sign of the times don’t you think?

Republicans are sending around the Internet a photo of a cute little boy whose T-shirt reads: “The mess in my pants is nothing compared to the mess Democrats will make of this country if they win Nov. 2nd.”
One can only wonder at the insouciance of this message. Are Republicans unaware of the amazing mess the Bush regime has made?
It is impossible to imagine a bigger mess. Republicans have us at war in two countries as a result of Republican lies and deceptions, and we might be in two more wars-Iran and Pakistan-by November. We have alienated the entire Muslim world and most of the rest.
The dollar has lost 60% of its value against the euro, and the once mighty dollar is losing its reserve currency role.
The Republicans’ policies have driven up the price of both oil and gold by 400%.
Inflation is in double digits. Employment is falling.
The Republican economy in the 21st century has been unable to create net new jobs for Americans except for low wage domestic services such as waitresses, bartenders, retail clerks and hospital orderlies.
Republican deregulation brought about fraud in mortgage lending and dangerous financial instruments which have collapsed the housing market, leaving a million or more homeowners facing foreclosure. The financial system is in disarray and might collapse from insolvency.
The trade and budget deficits have exploded. The US trade deficit is larger than the combined trade deficits of every deficit country in the world.
The US can no longer finance its wars or its own government and relies on foreign loans to function day to day. To pay for its consumption, the US sells its existing assets-companies, real estate, toll roads, whatever it can offer-to foreigners.
Republicans have run roughshod over the US Constitution, Congress, the courts and civil liberties. Republicans have made it perfectly clear that they believe that our civil liberties make us unsafe-precisely the opposite view of our Founding Fathers. Yet, Republicans regard themselves as the Patriotic Party.
The Republicans have violated the Nuremberg prohibitions against war crimes, and they have violated the Geneva Conventions against torture and abuse of prisoners. Republican disregard for human rights ranks with that of history’s great tyrants.
The Republicans have put in place the foundation for a police state.
I am confident that the Democrats, too, will make a mess. But can they beat this record?
We must get the Republicans totally out of power, or we will have no country left for the Democrats to mess up.
I say this as a person who has done as much for the Republican Party as anyone. I helped to devise and to get implemented an economic policy that cured stagflation and that brought Republicans back into political competition after Watergate. If I could have looked into a crystal ball and seen that under a free trade banner, Republicans would enable corporate executives to pay themselves millions of dollars in “performance pay” for deserting their American work forces and hiring foreigners in their place, thus destroying the aspirations and careers of millions of Americans, I never would have helped the Republicans. If a crystal ball had revealed that a neoconned Republican Party would launch wars of naked aggression against countries that posed no threat to the United States, I would have shouted my warnings even earlier.
The neoconned Republican Party is the greatest threat America has ever faced. Let me tell you why.
How many Republicans can you name who respect and honor the Constitution? There are Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and who? The ranks of Republican constitutional supporters quickly grow thin.
The reason is that Republicans view the Constitution as a coddling device for criminals and terrorists. Republicans think the Constitution can be set aside for evil-doers and kept in place for everyone else. But without the Constitution we only have the government’s word as to who is an evil-doer.
This would be the word of the same infallible government that told us that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction that were on the verge of being used against America, the same infallible government that told us that Guantanamo prison held “770 of the most dangerous persons alive” and then, after stealing 5 years of their lives, quietly released 500 of them as mistaken identities.
Republicans think the United States is the salt of the earth and that American hegemony over the rest of the world is not only justified by our great virtue but necessary to our safety. People this full of hubris are incapable of judgment. People incapable of judgment should never be given power.
Republicans have no sympathy for anyone but their own kind. How many Republicans do you know who care a hoot about the plight of the poor, the jobless, the medically uninsured? The government programs that Republicans are always adamant to cut are the ones that help people who need help.
I have yet to hear any of my Republican friends express any concern whatsoever for the 1.2 million Iraqis who have died, and the 4 million who have been displaced, as a result of Bush’s gratuitous invasion. Many tell me that the five- and six-year long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are due to wimpy Americans “who don’t have the balls it takes” to win. Killing and displacing a quarter of the Iraqi population is just a wimpy result of a population that lacks testosterone. Real Americans would have killed them all by now.
Macho patriotic Republicans are perfectly content for US foreign policy to be controlled by Israel. Republican evangelical “Christian” churches teach their congregations that America’s purpose in the world is to serve Israel. And these are the flag-wavers.
Those of us who think America is the Constitution, and that loyalty means loyalty to the Constitution, not to office holders or to a political party or to a foreign country, are regarded by Republicans as “anti-American.”
Neoconservatives, such as Billy Kristol, insist that loyalty to the country means loyalty to the government. Thus, criticizing the government for launching wars of aggression and for violating constitutionally protected civil liberties is, according to neoconservatives, a disloyal act.
In the neoconservative view, there is no place for the voices of citizens: the government makes the decisions, and loyal citizens support the government’s decisions.
In the neocon political system there is no liberty, no democracy, no debate. Dissenters are traitors.
The neoconservative magazine, Commentary, wants the New York Times indicted for telling Americans that the Bush regime was caught violating US law, specifically the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, by spying on Americans without obtaining warrants as required by law. Note that neoconservatives think it is a criminal act for a newspaper to tell its readers that their government is spying on them illegally.
Judging by their behavior, a number of Democrats go along with the neocon view. Thus, the Democrats don’t offer a greatly different profile. They went along with the views that corporate profits and the war on terror take precedence over everything else. They have not used the congressional power that the electorate gave them in the 2006 elections.
However, Democrats, or at least some of them, do care about the Constitution. If it were not for Democratic appointees to the federal courts and the ACLU (essentially a Democratic organization), the Bush regime would have completely destroyed our civil liberties.
Some Democrats are “bleeding hearts,” who actually care about suffering people they don’t know, and who think that we have obligations to others. Have you ever heard of a bleeding heart Republican?
Traditionally, Democrats objected whenever policies resulted in a handful of rich people capturing all of the income gains from the economy. There might still be a few such Democrats left.
Looking at the Republican mess, I doubt that Democrats, try as they may, can equal it.

Bush Officials Condoned Regional Iraqi Oil Deal - washingtonpost.com
“Bush administration officials told Hunt Oil last summer that they did not object to its efforts to reach an oil deal with the Kurdish regional government in northern Iraq, even while the State Department was publicly expressing concern that such contracts could undermine a national Iraqi petroleum law, according to documents obtained by a House committee.
Last fall, after the deal was announced, the State Department said that it had tried to dissuade Hunt Oil from signing the contract with Kurdish regional authorities but that the company had proceeded ‘regardless of our advice.’ Although Hunt Oil’s chief executive has been a major fundraiser for President Bush, the president said he knew nothing about the deal.”

Prospective investors considering purchasing property for sale overseas have been advised to look at Morocco, a media outlet has stated.
According to the Telegraph, house prices in Morocco have increased considerably in the last few years and the property investor’s benefit from high capital appreciation. Property values in Morocco have risen by 20 per cent in some parts of the country mainly as a result of demand outstripping supply. This indicates that property investors could potentially cash in on the growth of the market, as property in a prime location will be highly desired.
Morocco as a growing market that offers good prospects for investment buyers and Moroccan property is a smart buy and a sound addition to the property investor’s real estate portfolios. Economics professor Mohamed Saidi explained that this massive rise in Moroccan property prices is due to the limited supply.
The economy in Morocco is continuing to experience growth. The final quarter of 2007, the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) went up by 2.1 per cent. The figures are significant to prospective investors, as the strength of the economy could affect the success of their investment.
Morocco also offers exclusive and attractive locations at a reasonable price and with its tourist numbers steadily going upwards, a property in Morocco would seem to be a sound purchase.
