Neighborly | 7 Tips For Spring Cleaning Your Small Business

Spring cleaning doesn’t just mean organizing, cleaning, or decluttering your house. Small business owners can also take advantage of this tradition by spring cleaning their businesses.

Here are seven ways you can spring-clean your business:   1. Brush Off Your Business Plan

When was the last time you reviewed your business plan? If your business plan has been collecting dust, spring cleaning is a great time to give it the attention it deserves.

Neighborly | Closing The Books And Opening Your Franchise

We don’t often think of building a legacy in our 20s. But think of how much you could achieve by paving the way now – all the communities you could impact and the accomplishments you could be proud of 30 years down the line.

Franchising opens the doors to those kinds of possibilities. Whether you’re midway through life looking for a career change or are a young upstart trying to make a name for yourself, educating yourself about business ownership can help prepare you to make those entrepreneurial dreams come true. But at some point, it’s time to close the books, trust in yourself and take the leap into business ownership.

Neighborly | 4 Seasonal Business Ideas To Start This Summer

Without the commitment and demands of a year-long business cycle, larger staffs and equipment inventories, and sustained motivation and profitability, seasonal businesses are a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs to supplement income, expand their interests, and try out businesses on a smaller level that could grow into something much bigger.

Simply put, a seasonal business is an enterprise that earns the majority of its income during a limited number of months each year, which is often a winter or summer business.

Why Start a Seasonal Business?There are as many reasons to start a seasonal business as there are businesses to start seasonally. Some augment your income. Others are more motivated by personal lifestyle. Here are the most common reasons:

Freedom. Because less time is involved in a seasonal business, you only need to operate your business in high gear for a limited time each year, which opens up more time later. You also have the freedo…
