How To Find A Good Business Partner

How Do Solano Business People Need Pick The Right Partners?

Six Ways To Seek A Good Business Partner

Honesty and Ethics

Essential for any long-term business relationship is honesty and ethics. You need to trust each other.  Are they disclosing important aspects on the pros and cons of new paths your company may take?  Look into their eyes and watch their body language. Listen to your intuition.

True Deep Loyalty

Do you have each other’s backs? Happy comradery when things go well is good, and what about when you hit bumpy roads? Will they stick thru the tough times?

Accountability

Do they always try to pass the blame to someone else at the office? It’s always somebody else’s fault except their own. Do they show up at the office or make excuses?

Compassion

A compassionate business partner has a heart.  They will hopefully care about you and the partnership’s clients. 

Motivation

Find a partner who will push you, and drive you to success. Your partner needs different skill sets and perspectives.

Love To Learn & Explore

Do they already claim to “know almost everything”?  Have they learned from experience, a business incubator, or the local small business development center? Do they search the internet and read business news, and stay on top of trends?

Listen To Logic And Your Intuition Before Embarking On A Partnership.

New California Business Laws On Sales Tax Collection

California Assembly Bill 147 can require out-of-state plus online retailers to collect sales taxes based on the rates for each Solano County city.  The brick-and-mortar commercial real estate tenants have need to collect it for decades. 

If a Solano County company, such as one in Fairfield decides to ship an item to a higher taxed city like say San Jose, the higher tax rate there would have to be paid.  A tedious task for a Solano County company to go through for sales to other California cities with differing sales tax rates. 

Also the state government's AB 91 can limit income what wealthy executives in their swanky executive office suites can claim for tax write offs.

Since different Solano cities have their own rates for sales taxes, the amount owed would be more than the standard 7.25% state sales tax. Each have their own tax rates in Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vallejo and Benicia. Then Napa towns have their own, and so forth.

Solano Economic Development Conference & Unfair Old Boy Networks Using Tax Payer Money

Solano EDC (Solano Economic Development Corp) President Sandy Person has positive and negative business views ab out Fairfield, Vacaville, Suisun and Vallejo and Northern California. Commercial real estate including office space rentals are doing better in 2019 than some past years.

Goal is to bring 200 new jobs and a half-billion dollars for Solano economic development. It took place at Fairfield's Hilton Garden Inn on the 80 Highway Corridor Vallejo through Dixon with intersecting highways 680, 12 and 505, etc.

NorthBay Healthcare is helping Fairfield's economy along with Solano Business Incubator

An economic study of Solano's Highway 12 can show where truck traffic goes for the Solano Transportation Authority. Also we need to look at the effect politicians are having on naming "Business Center Drive" in Fairfield and the effect it has on pre-existing business centers of Fairfield and neighboring cities.

Robert Eyler, economics department chair with Sonoma State University hopes for some encouraging economic news for California.

Solano Business News ™ says Solano County is creating new medium and higher paying jobs. Vacaville, Fairfield and much of Solano has sees residential real estate demand market, but investment demand could be higher. It also sees "special deals" between commercial real estate developers helping the "privileged Solano old boy network" against other honest landlords renting out their spaces.
