Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find some bricks and shelf boards. Choose a suitable place for the shelf. Place two bricks together on the floor space selected. Create the shelving. Add the next shelf board.

Answer: The shelf boards should all be the same length; if not, cut them to the same length. You can also use cinder blocks, in which case you'll only need one on each side rather than the two bricks. Since the shelf has little support, it needs to be flush against a wall, or have some sort of similar flat backing. Place another two bricks together on the opposite side to form the base of the shelving. The distance between the bricks should be determined by the plank length, with a small amount of plank overhanging at each side (about a 2 inches). There should be two bricks on each side of the shelf to support it. You'll place the first shelf board onto the base bricks. Then place two bricks side by side on the shelf in the same position as the base bricks. This time, add two sets more bricks on top to make a pillar. Do the same for the other side. The shelf has been made. It's simple but it's adequate for keeping things like books, DVDs and CDs in order. If you want to strengthen this structure, add a cross-brace to the back of the shelf unit, screwing it into the shelf boards.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your lawyer and accountant. Review your business's articles and bylaws. Document all debts owed by the business. Inventory all of your business's assets. Hire an appraiser. Decide how best to sell your assets. Request that all prepaid expenses be returned. Notify your creditors.

Answer: Before taking any steps to close your business and liquidate your assets, you should speak with your lawyer and accountant and make a plan that follows federal and state law, provides you with the most value for your business, and pays off your creditors. You should review your business's articles and bylaws to make sure that your closing plan is in accordance with your business partnership agreements and meets any shareholder requirements. Gather information and documentation that states the amounts and creditors of any debts owed by the business. This may include small business loans, accounts payable, and other debt. Go through this debt and figure out if the debt is secured or unsecured (secured means backed by collateral). In addition, check if any of your loans are personally guaranteed (meaning that you are personally responsible for their repayment). Go through all of your business property, equipment, cash, accounts and other assets and create a detailed list of everything owned by the business. Your list should include the following items: Unpaid debt that you expect to collect, business bank accounts and deposits, and any rent that the business will collect prior to its closure. List all physical property, including the actual building and land, if owned by the business, and any equipment, including computers and manufacturing equipment, furniture, vehicles and any other items owned by the business and that can be sold. List all security deposits that the business made to landlords and any prepaid insurance premiums that will be reimbursed. This list will not only facilitate the sale of your assets but can also be used in reporting the business's assets to the IRS and creditors. A business's assets may also include intangible assets, like patents, copyrights, or logos. Depending on your type of business, these can be incredibly valuable. Collect any debts owed to your business. You should demand payment before you publicly announce the closing of the business. For a debtor that is refusing to pay, you should consider reducing the amount that they owe to you. It may be easier to collect a partial payment and you would at least have some of the money repaid before your business closes. Once you have inventoried all of your assets, you should hire an experienced appraiser to value these items. Appraisers know how to reduce the price of goods for damaged assets and properly value assets, such as machinery. Closely review the written appraisal report and calculate the cost of selling all of the inventoried items. These costs may include commissions, labor, rent and liens. If the total appraisal value of your assets is less than the cost of selling all of your assets, ask your attorney, what other options you have for getting value from your assets. There are a number of ways that you can sell of your business's assets. When deciding what is best for your company, consider which way will provide the greatest return and is reasonably convenient based on your inventory. Work to identify those candidates who are most likely to be interested in purchasing some or all of your assets. Keep in mind that inventory and accounts receivable can be sold at a discount for a lump sum, as long these assets are not specifically pledged to a creditor. Ask your landlord whether he or she wants to buy your inventory as is, so that they can easily re-lease the space for the same business use. If you have items that are easily moved and a local retailer that specializes in your types of goods, you can choose a consignment sale. A dealer would sell your assets for you and you would get a share of all of the proceeds. You may be able to reach the largest audience by selling your assets on the internet. Keep in mind that if your assets are very large or extremely heavy, shipping costs may significantly reduce the amount of your profit. You can hire a professional auction company to come to your business site and auction items at a set time. You can publish and distribute an inventory list or advertise the sale online. This may be a good option if you are trying to sell a majority of your items quickly. You can also do an online auction if assets are not so specialized as to limit potential buyers. Typically, it is best to hold the sale on your business premises. This will reduce the costs associated with moving the items. After you establish a closing date and begin selling assets, send a letter to your insurance company requesting the return of any prepaid premiums. Your letter should also indicate the date that your policy will terminate. You should also request repayments of prepaid utilities or other prepaid expenses your business may have. This should only be done after the business has completely ceased operations. Remember, you must discuss your plan to liquidate your assets with your creditors. After developing a plan with your accountant and lawyer, you can present this plan to your creditors. If your plan appears reasonable and shows how you will satisfy your debt, your creditors will most likely give you permission to move forward. Your notification requirements may differ between your secured creditors and unsecured creditors. Secured creditors are those who have lent you money backed by collateral (your business or another asset). They have the highest priority for receiving repayment. Have your attorney carefully review state laws to determine whether you are also responsible for publishing an announcement notifying any additional creditors of the business's pending closure. Review any alone agreements to understand restrictions or notification requirements on the sale of assets. It is also important to determine your personal liabilities and exposure to the company closing. This will depend on the structure of your business, such as whether it is a corporation, a sole proprietorship, or a partnership. You may also be required to give creditors a certain amount of time for them to submit any debt claims. You must also provide them an address where the claims should be sent.
