My Comments

  • Outsourcing - 01/08/2009
    Just a caution. We outsourced a complicated web design and database project to an Indian company. We checked their references thoroughly, thinking we would get a good job at a lower price. Big mistake. They have taken twice as long to get the work done and ended up costing us more to finish than a high priced local company we had a bid from.

  • Buying an office building to house your business is a major decision. Careful market and financial analysis and negotiations are critical to a successful result. Having a highly skilled and experienced professional to provide you the right tools and information will allow you to make the best and most profitable purchase decisions possible. In most cases their services are free to you since they are paid by the Landlord/Seller. One important analysis that should be done is the lease vs buy calculation. Take a look at some of the pros and cons to purchasing compared to continuing to lease office space at http://www.officefinder.com/leasevsbuy.html. Office finder also has a network of local tenant rep agents throughout the US and Canada that can help with both leasing and purchasing of office properties. You can contact them at http://www.officefinder.com/scripts/wizard.cfm
