Intangible assets are key to the future of a company. Ensuring long-term growth and steady increase in shareholder value depends on the company to maximize their brand. Improve the value of the mark must be an important goal of management and employees. To increase brand value, must be constantly monitored and measured, as described in the model, which was developed for this purpose.

The criteria relate to the issue of measuring the value of intangible assets, for example, IFRS 3, but current methods for measuring brand value is false. One problem is that there is no distinction between business or goodwill of the mark and goodwill in general. On the other hand, a self-developed brand is not on the books is not an advantage. Its value is displayed only when a case of the acquisition, if acquired, either alone or as part of a commercial transaction. Free accounting practices, as can be expressed in the books of the company did not provide a complete picture of the value of the company, including all tangible and intangible.

The largest banks in the United States are folded, holding the loans, raising fees and closing branches. But a company still wants to be your bank on the corner: Wal-Mart.

While the banking sector has been in trouble, the retail giant has attracted the attention of customers aggressively, partnering with financial services companies to offer money transfers, cash checks and make payments, and put virtual checking accounts ( prepaid debit cards) in the hands of more than two million customers.

Wal-Mart minimizes its desire to obtain a bank license, but recent changes in the banking and regulatory landscape have increased the chances that there is a Wal-Mart Bank. The latest evidence that the firm plans to continue to offer financial services, was the news last week when it obtained an equity stake in Green Dot, who manages the prepaid debit cards the seller and seeks regulatory approval to buy a small bank Utah for $ 15.7 million.

Wal-Mart has attempted to have its own banking license several times since 1999. In 2007 he abandoned his plans to acquire a set of industrial banks in Utah after heavy lobbying in the banking sector. Financial institutions have argued that Wal-Mart can bring favorable loans to suppliers and away from the competition. If the retailer had succeeded, his “corporation industrial loan” Utah would have handled any prosecution of their cards and would have allowed the giant of the sales take deposits and make loans.

Now be associated with companies like Green Dot and SunTrust to offer these services in the United States, this reduction in the margin of profit is not limited to Wal-Mart. Last week, Wal-Mart opened its “Money Center” number 1000 and announced plans to expand to 500 stores. He also announced the launch of a credit card Wal-Mart in Canada, where he received a banking license last month. In Mexico, where the bank has operated since 2007, Wal-Mart plans to open 150 new branches and receive cash holdings. In the U.S., through its partnership with SunTrust, Wal-Mart has nearly doubled the number of bank branches in its stores in the last five years, a total of 83.

“Revenue from Wal-Mart in the provision of financial services is, at this point, a negligible share of total revenues,” said Rajesh Narayanan, professor of finance at Louisiana State University. “But the speed with which they have expanded their services in this area suggests that they have their eyes on something bigger.

An organization-public, private or nonprofit, you will always have a goal and achieve economic and competitive enthroned which confront. To succeed in an environment of high intensity competition, firms must develop a plan indicating the specific objectives of your organization and how to achieve them, that is, the strategies.

But planning alone is not pos useful if within its objectives does not provide for the needs and desires of individuals and / or institutions that make up your market, or does not involve other functional areas of the company in that market orientation to develop products and services satisfactions of the needs of customers and prospects.

In addition, strategies must be based on precise knowledge about the needs and desires of the market and other forces that act and influence the market in order to establish guidelines for action to be followed by the company to achieve its objectives.

Concept and characteristics of market research

Market research is “the systematic collection, recording and analysis of data about problems related to market goods and services” (AMA-American Marketing Association).

• Objective, to be neutral to avoid personal biases and prejudices. Objectivity implies impartiality and uniqueness results and conclusions.

• Information, to become the business information flow, creating a link between the company and the market reality.

• Aimed at decision-making. Companies conduct market research in order to make better decisions, reduce uncertainty, to succeed in the design of their strategies and measure the effects of the actions taken previously.

You must remember that the more income declaration, the more available credit to your company especially if the discharge and compliance with banking requirements.

2. The main shareholder of the company must be at least 25 years and under 70: This depends on each bank, as there are some who can give a business loan for people with only 20 years of age but not at the same time gives over 65, due to the risk of an advanced age against the pay period.

3. Provide proof of income: Any financial institution will ask you to verify your income before granting a loan companies. For this request updated financial statements, however for small businesses that probably do not own or use other means counter. Read the rest of this entry »

Usually the credit can be offered in the local currency or in dollars, although typically the case that the credit is in the same currency in which the firm receives its profits.

On the other hand, it is wise not to ask much more than is strictly necessary, because remember that the credits have interests that you have to pay back.

Trade credit is a loan that gives a supplier, a financial institution or a bank to a company or self-employed, but generally do not have direct control of the financial comptroller organizations.

It is a resource for companies to start producing or expand production of their products, while helping to increase sales and thus to consolidate the gains of the company. In general, commercial loans are granted for terms of 30, 60 or 90 days (or short term) and are guaranteed by the company’s inventory, ie, both personal property (equipment, machinery, etc) as property (business address, office, etc).

Unlike other loans, you may be concerned of a contract, a bill of exchange, or to use the accrued liability of the company (unpaid taxes) or debts that have generated the same as a form of collateral.

In some cases, banks give trade credits in cash, generally in the medium and long term (which can reach 5 years), which can be used to finance the purchase or replacement of machinery, instruments, etc, and not just for production. In addition to paying the claim, also must pay interest and fees. However, for banks to make this type of credit, these companies undergo a rigorous investigation of their statements, client base, revenues and expenses, etc. to establish whether they are liable to receive the money.
