Corporate Records - Shareholder Inspections Friday, November 19, 2010

You're conducting business as a corporation and various shareholders have kicked in investment money. Can shareholder inspections of corporate records occur?

Emotional Attachment

With small businesses, emotions can run high. Typically, a person has a great business idea, but need investors to create a pool of cash to get the business going. In such situations, the person has an emotional attachment to the business and thinks it is "theirs." After all, if it is my great idea, I should control it. This understandable attitude can lead to problems.

When you form a corporation and take on investors, you must be ready to let your baby go. The corporate entity is now the owner of the idea, which means all shareholders have a say in how things are run. The fact that you were the one that came up with the idea is absolutely irrelevant. If this sounds unfair, you may want to consider other ways to raise money instead of selling shares in the entity.

Corporate Records

A corporate entity, including a limited liability company, is a separate "person" for legal purposes. This legal fiction creates a liability shield between the business and your personal assets. However, this also requires the corporation to keep records such as board resolutions, bylaws, articles of incorporation, balance sheets and so on. These corporate records should create a time line and snapshot of the corporate business for each fiscal year.

Shareholder Inspections

In every state, shareholders have a right to inspect the records of a corporation. The scope of the inspection depends upon the particular laws of each state, but typically covers all records in the corporate books, balance sheets and even tax returns. The shareholder must typically make a written request to see the records three to five days prior to the date in question. The lawyer and accountant of the shareholder can also view the records.

Most people react badly to shareholder inspection requests. Upon receiving a request, most will assume a lawsuit is coming and get combative. This, of course, leads to a refusal of the inspection request. Such emotional refusals are a huge mistake and violate the laws of practically every state. Shareholders have the right to inspect corporate records and you cannot deny their request.

If a shareholder seeks to inspect corporate records, you can take a few steps. First, call the corporate attorney and get advice. Second, the corporate attorney may want to be present to make sure only the legally required records are disclosed. This tactic is highly dependent on the laws of each state and involves complex strategy decisions. Regardless, the best option is to immediately contact the corporate attorney and find out your options.

If you obtain money from investors to pursue your business idea, you must understand that it is no longer "yours." To this end, shareholders have the right to inspect the records of the business.

New Solar Farm Near Primm, Nevada Thursday, November 18, 2010

With its more than 20 million residents, no area of the country has greater demands for power with limited water resources than Southern California. With its ample sunshine and available land, Southern California is at the center of the push for solar energy. Solar energy is green energy and both President Barack Obama and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are proponents of solar power.

Currently there are eleven large solar thermal farms going through the permitting process with the California Energy Commission. There is a rush for approval of these planned industrial sized projects as Federal stimulus funds, which could contribute up to 30% projects' costs, expires at the end of 2010. The funds would only be contributed if construction begins by year end. If all these projects break ground, the amount of federal contribution towards their costs could be near ten billion dollars.

Balancing energy needs, economic benefits, and environmental concerns is a difficult task. This deadline has created significant coordination between different interest groups with billions of dollars are at stake. Environmentalists want to ensure that these areas are protected and all projects comply with environmental laws. However, some believe that some habitat destruction is worth the substantial economic and energy gains from these projects.

Ten of the eleven proposed solar farm sites are desert areas, with one site in the southern San Joaquin Valley. One of the eleven proposed sites is called the "Ivanpah" farm. It is located just 4.5 miles southwest of Primm, Nevada on the Ivanpah dry lakebed. The project would bring significant economic impact to the Primm area, as the project would require hundreds of construction workers. Long term, the farm would need over 50 employees for its operation.

If built, the Ivanpah solar farm would generate electric power for more than a half million California homes. It would also give a big boost to California utility companies, as by 2020, under federal mandate, they are required to produce 33% of their energy from renewable resources. California has stringent environmental standards that must be met for the projects to go forward. Also, several of the projects are on federal land, which require approval from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and local counties are also involved in the permitting process.

The California Energy Commission typically approves about 7 major energy projects a year in the state, typically natural gas or other energy sources. These planned industrial size energy farms, under such a tight deadline for federal stimulus funds, are creating demands on the agency not seen before. While the government of California faces a budge crisis and many other state workers face furloughs, the energy commission has had to take on more staff in light of the demands of these projects. The commission is stretched to the limit.

In an attempt to meet environmental laws, the Ivanpah solar farm project, has been shrunken 12% in size to 3,500 acres, to lessen damage to desert tortoise and rare plant habitat. Due to the tight timeline, project developers are hoping that the deadline for the stimulus funds will be extended. Legislation has been proposed by California Senator Dianne Feinstein. However, there is no guarantee of an extension so the push is on to get approval on these solar farm projects by years end.

Primm, Nevada is the gateway to Nevada from Southern California. Along Interstate 15, it is home to three large casinos drawing thousands of visitors daily. It is also home to the Fashion Mall of Las Vegas and two excellent golf courses. Learn more about the Primm area at http://www.PrimmNevada.net.

A Review of the MXI Corp Income Opportunity Saturday, November 13, 2010

Not long ago MXI Corp created a new division calling it Xocai. The Nevada, USA based company is expanding their current foothold in the health and wellness marketplace with a number of chocolate health products based on unprocessed cacao and acai berries. Both supply needed antioxidants to a body. Additionally this newer division of MXI Corp offers a home business opportunity by selling or marketing the products with compensation through a Multilevel Marketing Format (MLM).

The products are fortified with many beneficial nutrients, like grape concentrate and cinnamon, both of which empower the body to fight attacks on the immune system, as compliments of the core ingredients. It is the belief of the MXI Corp, that the chocolate nugget, omega bars, protein bars and Xocai Active will provide vital nutritional assistance to anyone who enjoys chocolate.

Many of the people who have chosen to use the Xocai products have testified to the benefits of the products. Some of the testimonies include statements of headache relief, arthritis and other inflammation symptoms diminishing to virtual nothingness. These are the claims made by the customers, not MXI Corp., as it is their desire to provide the body with positive and healthy support, benefits there from varies person to person.

The MXI Corp business opportunity designed to work with Xocai MLM program includes a binary payment plan with a payout of up to 50 percents of total commissionable volume. Due to the design from the MXI Corp., the primary concern pertaining to the plan is the requirement of maintaining a balance of two legs to earn commission.

To better explain, should a person hold one leg that is actively producing about 20 thousand dollars in weekly volume, however the other leg is not as busy, and is producing about 500 in weekly volume, the pay out check is based on the lower leg. This gap causes much contention in many leaders' compensation consideration. Due to the unpaid volume being retained by Xocai, and thus MXI Corp., those who are not able to work effectively in a binary situation, will with out a doubt, struggle or fail. MXI Corp may benefit from this, however this is not the most conducive program for a new network marketer.

The products have been completely and thoroughly researched by the MXI Corp., prior to the release of the Xocai Chocolate line, but the comp plan is not for the lighthearted or the half hearted network marketer. Only staunch supporters of the product line, which was carefully researched by the MXI CORP., and people who work well with a balanced binary system, should approach this marketing opportunity. This opportunity for success is effective for the unyielding, unrelenting direct to customer, well organized management team builder.

The health and wellness industry has been growing for many years, and now this new company is poised to make a vital impact on the health of all who will enjoy the products MXI Corp. has developed. When seeking a quality product, this Xocai is one for the masses. With the deep research being done, and amazing testimony from the customers, this product promises to take the chocoholic by storm.

Items to Consider to Compare Car Insurance Tuesday, November 2, 2010

If you didn't already know, car insurance rates change all of the time. What one company's rates were last month may not be what they are at the present time. It is highly recommended that people continuously compare car insurance rates in order to help them save as much money as possible. Like many people, you have probably been searching for ways to save money on basically anything and everything.

There is no point in paying more for car insurance than what you have to. But there is a good chance you are paying more for your insurance than you should be. If you were not already aware of it, there are several different things that will affect how much you pay for it. Regardless of what the price was when you first signed up, it is going to fluctuate depending on a number of different circumstances.

One of the things that will affect how much you pay is if you have been in a recent collision. Having a wreck can cause your car insurance to go up hundreds of dollars. Seat belt and speeding tickets will also show up on your driving record when you are applying for car insurance and ultimately influence how much you will have to pay. Any amount of time you have gone with no car insurance will significantly increase your rates and might even cost you an extra registration fee upon signing up.

Even if you have something like a wreck or speeding ticket on your recent driving record, you should still compare rates because there is a chance that you can still get your insurance at a discount price. Those with no tickets or collisions are going to have no problem finding cheap car insurance, but it is still best to do some looking around before making a final decision. Many companies run special promotions that make them seem like the cheapest at the moment, when in reality, they may be the most expensive car insurance company on the market. Always make sure you ask the company you are thinking about signing up to what their usual rates are and if they are running a promotion.

If in fact a company has a special promotion going, you do not always have to stay with them over the long term. It is best to compare prices every couple of months or so, at least once a year. Some companies even give a special discount to those who sign up over the internet, while some give a special discount to those who sign up over the phone. Be sure to ask the insurance company how much you are going to have to pay over the period of a year. Asking what the price is monthly is where many people go wrong. If the company cranks the price back up during the second part of the year after signing up, you are going to need to know that.

Also make sure you compare apples to apples. If one company's policy appears to be cheaper, you may find upon closer inspection that they were assuming a $1000 deductible on collision or comprehensive, compared to another company who was only assuming a $500 deductible for those coverages.

As you can see, there are several reasons to continuously compare car insurance prices. You are bound to find a number of great car insurance companies on the internet as well as in your local area. Saving money means you are also saving time. Shopping around for car insurance and comparing rates is one of the smartest things you could ever do for your wallet.
