Is there a way to get a loan for a small business? I heard that there is some option in the state of Michigan where you can get a loan but you have to hire someone as well.

How would you promote a neighborhood business?

Q & A / 3 Comments

I’m trying to create a personal business and I have business cards and have made flyers for my business. It is pet sitting and many other things. Someone else beat me to the pet sitting, but I still want to practice my other businesses. I have made prices and have references, but nobody is calling. I haven’t put up the flyers yet, because I don’t know where to put them! I also have a babysitting business too. What kind of other promoting should I do, and any other ideas for different businesses?
I don’t want to do any online surveys.

What language does one use in international business to express emotion in formal & informal contexts?

Q & A / 1 Comment

I am an English as a Foreign Language instructor who is teaching college-level Korean students who are interested in business English. We are learning how to express: happiness (at something), sadness (at something), disappointment (at something or someone), and confidence (about someone or something). I want to teach valid and highly used forms of functional language that is specific to this context. I have never worked in International Business and feel unprepared to teach them the specific kinds of “typical language/lingo.” If you have experience in this field, could you give me some examples. For example, if you are talking about a business proposal, does it sound realistic to say, “I am very happy about the proposal.” Or, does it sound stilted and unrealistic. Obviously, I want phrases that are as realistic as possible to teach them so they can succeed in their choosen field.
