But after hours Phil Edwards devotes his time to building a unique electric- powered motorbike which he hopes will smash the UK drag-racing record.

The company director is transforming a standard motorbike into a batterypowered racing machine in time for next year’s Alternative Energy Racing event at Santa Pod, the home of European drag racing in Milton Keynes.

The prototype project has become so big that Phil, who runs Weald Business Solutions, which helps other organisations cut costs and improve efficiency, has set up a new company to take it on and ultimately hopes to sell the skills developed to people in the same field.

The cost is expected to be £10,000 and Phil is inviting firms interested in being associated with the project to offer support.

Let’s suppose for a moment that you’ve taken a few steps necessary to establish business credit for your company.  You got approved for a line of credit with a few suppliers, made purchases, paid your invoices and see the payment experience listed on your business credit report.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Do you own and operate a franchise? Many entrepreneurs and new small business owners go the route of owning a franchise to get a running start into an established business niche using a recognized name and operating paradigm. However, most often, these entrepreneurs depend too much on the franchisor to perform all search engine optimization tactics. Alas, that folly usually costs the entrepreneur valuable search engine ranking.

The fact is that even with a recognizable name, you need to announce your location, business hours, product or service offerings, special deals, etc. Your franchisor will not do that for you.

You, as a franchise owner, must take ownership of your own SEO efforts.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce not weighing in on $30-billion lending bill.

At a time when many small business owners are looking to Congress to enact a $30-billion small business lending bill, some of the nation’s most prominent lobbying groups have remained largely silent.

Bloomberg reports that the country’s three largest pro-business groups, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business and the National Association of Manufacturers, have not come out in support of the bill.

Despite the fact that the three groups have spent more than $47 million on lobbying in the first six months of the year, many small business owners see the lack of lobbying for the small business lending package as a telling sign of where the groups’ priorities lie.

“Credit is a terrible problem” for small businesses, said Fred Knapp, president of the South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce, which is based in Columbia.

Business Credit Bureau

As a business owner it’s important for you to understand the integral role that a business credit bureau plays in the world of business finance. The data it collects on your business can impact whether or not your application for credit is approved or declined, the rate of interest your company will pay and even the amount of credit you can obtain.

In simple words, a business credit bureau is a repository of collected trade and credit information on millions of companies.    

All this collected data is compiled into what are known as business credit reports which are furnished to potential creditors so the creditors can make sound credit granting decisions.

The integrity of this information being disseminated is vital to the success of our country’s credit system.

So it’s essential for you to know how a business credit bureau gets its information about your company. The more i
