There are many responsibilities and chores that come with owning and running a small business. Since their emergence in UK markets over the past decade, e-cigarettes have been increasingly recognized as having a role to play in helping smokers to quit. However, much debate has centered on their use by young people and whether vaping may act as a gateway into smoking. Regulations for e-cigarettes such as age of sales restrictions and restrictions on marketing and product labeling have been introduced in the past few years. The biggest hurdle, really, is moving it beyond an idea that somebody has in an academic centre like the University of Toronto. Some researcher could have a great idea and do really interesting preliminary work. There are people at U of T who are doing really great work on thinking about how you might make vaccines to various pathogens. But the biggest hurdle for vaccines is between that preliminary science through to the point where you can start thinking about using it in the field.

Personally, I am a social responsibility kind of guy once a person has made more than a reasonable attempt to play by the rules. But when the rules are stacked against you, it is time for the gov’t to step in and unstack them.

Colgate toothpaste brand Cue couldn’t make much headway in France as it was the name of a popular pornographi c magazine, Vicks cough drops was a failure in Germany as ‘V’ is pronounced as ‘F’ making it slang for sexual intercourse. Nike had to recall its products that featured an illustration resembling Allah in Arabic. An improper brand name in a particular cultural or linguistic milieu can cause huge damage to the company and its marketing efforts may go down the drain.
See, academics aren’t interested in the same things as entrepreneurs. They don’t think the same as us and they definitely don’t know anything about small business. They know theory and principles that work for the masses. That’s why this is standard education stuff. But standard education principles yield standard results and often times less when applied to small businesses. If you’re already in business with a partner and don’t have a buy-sell agreement signed and funded, start the process now. Without such an agreement, you could wind up in business with your partner’s spouse or kids. And without a life insurance policy, you might have difficulty funding the agreement.

When considering a business owner for a loan, the bank also looks at the business’s profitability record, current assets, and the owner’s investment in the company. Typically, a bank loan to a small business requires the owner to personally guarantee the borrowed funds.
