Banking. Bubble. Assesment. Real. Failed Bank List. Client not paying - Creative COW. Hi - I am a freelancer who provides services relating to video,photography & design. This is a fairly new venture for me as a fulltime business and I am learning the ins and outs. Unfortunately, I am in a bit of a pickle with a "deadbeat" client. I did not get a contract (lesson #1)... Here's my situation: (I apologize in advance for the length!) A few months back (April) I began a project with this client that started off fairly simple. I was to take some tapes she had shot of herself & edit it simply with a little text and a soundtrack & author into an instructional DVD. We agreed on a price and deadline - no problem. THEN - things started to snowball and the project grew tremendously. She paid the initial fee for the original editing within 2 weeks of the start of the project.
Her payments gradually became fewer and farther between. Trouble is, the project is 95% finished. She has another $500 left to go on payment - her last payments were $100 then another $75 2 weeks after that. FindABetterBank - A free, unbiased tool to compare banks in the US.

Among the most frequently asked questions I get from start-up companies is: How much should I pay for licensing in a technology? Answer: As little as possible. Kidding aside, this is really a very complicated question that cannot be answered without a lot of homework. While most companies seem to use a valuation method I like to call “pulling a number out of the air,” there are three primary methods used by licensing professionals to assess the value of IP assets. These are the Cost Method, Market Method and Income Method. With all of these methods, good data and data projection are critical in determining the appropriate numbers. In the Cost Method, the value is the cost incurred in developing or purchasing the relevant technology or intellectual property. But what if, as a result of changing markets or new information, you determine that the present value of the total revenues/return expected from this technology is less that the cost? Very often, universities rely on the 25% Rule.

Why Facebook's IPO could be disappointingly weak - Facebook is expected to go public this year, and sources in Silicon Valley say the fast-growing social-networking company is anticipating a blockbuster.
But could such speculation be premature? Indeed it could. A few days ago, word surfaced that Facebook's semi-stealth share buyback was oversubscribed. Demand was so high that former employees got pushed out of the buyback pool, with preferential treatment going those currently working there. If Facebook were a public company, this would be a very bad sign indeed. The buyback totaled $100 million and was executed by Digital Sky Technologies, a Russian Internet holding company and investment group. Pegging a valuation to Facebook is a favorite venture capitalist sport.
One thing appears certain now.
