In May 2006, issued a press release that hit the Israeli economic environment. It was the purchase, by W. Buffet, 80% of the company Oscar, a maker of tools for the metalworking industry, for four billion dollars. The news, at that time, he realized a very important event and that certainly could be interpreted, rightly, as a show of confidence in the country’s industrial capacity.

However, we should remember that at that time the treatment the media gave Israel the transaction was such that it seemed that we were all fortunate. This led me to write at the time that “very nearly every one of us feel personally that was about to pocket some of that money and shared the honor of being chosen by the said investor to buy it ‘our’ company”.

Course and had passed while the impact of the transaction, re-entry to normal and the acceptance of that in the best, the most favored are the former owners of Oscar, while for the country and society can have meant a further step in the weakening of its ability to control their resources.

I came to mind this incident to reflect on what is happening with the discovery of large deposits of natural gas in the territorial waters of the country, news that has again placed as the subject of headlines.

Until recently, Israel was recognized as a country endowed with little natural resources, particularly energy resources. However, in the late 90s were discovered and put into operation a natural gas field (the Mari-B field) in territorial waters against Sakhalin, it is estimated that this site will remain productive until 2012 .

In early 2009 the same company that had explored and exploited the Mari-B field, is an American business consortium partners (Noble Energy) and Israeli (Derek, Asarco, Door Gas) – announced the discovery of a new field natural gas (field Tamar) off the coast of Haifa, estimating that would be able to meet the needs of the country for the next 15 years.

In addition, in June this year the company announced that the consortium said the new discoveries, including the field Leviathan, Israel would be entering a path to energy independence because it would have “sufficient local power for 100 years.”
Please note that Israel imports about eight million dollars to 9,000 annual energy commodities (oil, gas and coal, mostly), which represents almost 20% of total U.S. imports, excluding diamonds.

It is important to know how to create a business plan. Your business plan could be a map for success, and must be prepared at the beginning of the business set. Sometimes it is necessary to obtain financing from lenders, and sometimes to attract private investors.

It is important to know how to create a business plan. Your business plan could be a map for success, and must be prepared at the beginning of the business set. For the business owner, creation, monitoring and adjusting the business plan can mean the difference between success and failure.

There are several basic areas to be included in any business plan, not necessarily in this order:

1. Objective of the company. Explain what it is, why it is needed, and the goals soon.
2. Business managers. Who will manage the firm and their qualifications?
3. Market Report. The analysis of the area of need. Analysis of the competition.
4. Description of the company. What will this company look and do.
5. Management Analysis. Who will lead the company, how they are organized, and how many people will be involved in management decisions.
6. Sales and Advertising. How is your business, product or service marketed and sold.
7. Products or Services. Descriptions.
8. Financial Information. How to finance the company, by whom, and how much is needed for two consecutive years with no income should happen. Insurance requirements.
9. Miscellaneous Information, Definitions, References, key personnel.

The business plan of the company is not a static element. Will change according to economic circumstances, global events and local changes. Bends with supply and demand, and be a kind of guide for corporate life. All adjustments should be made with concern for the outcome, the product or service, with an eye towards perfection. For a long-term viable and successful product, taking shortcuts or allowing the defect is not allowed.

The business plan must be formally organized, with a cover sheet, statement of objectives, and table of contents. The “guts” of the plan are information points listed above. After this, put in the relevant financial documents, such as loan information, equipment and supply list, balance sheet assets and liabilities, a summary balance point, and projections of revenue and increase profit. Includes estimates of the rooms of two to three years in advance, and the assumptions used to make projections.

A final portion of the Business Plan should include all tax documents, personal income of those most affected, legal documents, such as leases, franchises, licenses, and resumes of those who will run the business. Include any other information such as support staff and vendor commitments or promises in writing.

There are many places to find official designs for business plans, including on the Internet. Start with the Small Business Administration www.sba.gov for complete information on small business planning and resources. There are training courses, videos and pod casts of business information on the website, and details of contracts, franchise, grant money, licenses, taxes and more regulations. It is a good place to get around the information, but not the only place to get information on developing business plans and run a successful business organization.

The value of the company is an indicator that the vast majority of cases, employers tend to forget and only remember him when they have to sell your company or someone makes them an offer to buy it. However, the value of the company expresses many things and can be used to measure the actions taken in the company, at a given time and their influence on it.
The other myth is that the value of the company is a metric that can only be used by large employers. Quite the contrary, it is a tool that can be used by all employers, regardless of company size and industry in which it operates.
There are many ways to calculate the value of a company from a very simple as multiplying the sales or net income by a multiple, as the most complex, involving the need to make projections for five or 10 years depending on the amount of data that have and how sophisticated the same business area.
The important thing is to be clear that as is necessary to do appraisals for any property that you have, and keep these updated valuations, entrepreneurs, business owners and shareholders must be clear of the value of their companies, at any time, and maintain updated it.
This can be done internally, as a function over the company’s CFO, and / or hire a professional in the field, which can be impartial and objective at the time of the different formulas to measure the value of company.
Before starting any process of valuation, of any size, it is necessary to obtain historical information of the company, so this is the foundation for building the future. Once this historical information is worked, there should be forward-looking building. This historical information should be supplemented with plans for short, medium and long term that the company has, as well as an analysis of the economic situation in the area of influence of the company. Despite the good economic times of the Republic of Panama, is not the same have a Super Mini in Puerto Argüelles, where the local economy is depressed, a mini Super in Chorea, with a growing population, changing and improving economically.
The simpler is the company and its books, the faster will be the projection process, however, if accounting is complicated, the construction of the projections is also complicated, requiring more time for construction.
The important thing in any case, is that your company has accounting, since without it is impossible to make a valuation and will do the accounting necessary first to start the process (and do not think this is unusual, in my years as a consultant Financial, we have found different types of companies whose records do not exist, or leaves much to be desired).
Do not worry if it is a medium or large company, and has no CFO. You may have this function in your company through an outsourcing service, without any trauma, as we understand that for many businesses, having an accounting department or accountant make them meaningful and financially viable, while hire someone in finance represents a strong brew. For this, we provide outsourcing services, which would be the first step for their accounts to another level, and to learn to make strategic decisions with a little more ill give us a higher GDP more healthy and stable.

The deputy general secretary of the PSOE federal and Minister of Public Works, José Blanco, branded the national president of the PP, Mariano Raja, “bogus patriot” and warned that its objective is “to make adjustments horse” in the European economy.

On the Feast of the Rose, White visited the town this morning Areca Saragossa, where he staged a rally-lunch for more than 1,200 activists and supporters, among whom he predicted that the PSOE would win the regional and municipal elections of 2011 and the 2012 general.

So, asked all participants to avoid being “fooled” because behind all the “populist proposals” by Mariano Raja is the aim of “winning the election on the back of the crisis and then make a horse fit and throw the Zapata blame.”

In this regard, said a few days ago has been validated as the Royal Decree Law of adjustment, and that the PSOE did not have a positive vote of the PP and Raja, a “patriot cheesy”, while other nationalist parties (CIO) had “more sense of state” that the PP who recommended “less wrapped in the flag of Spain and more committed” to the real interests.

The minister asked how to say that the PP is the party of the workers “looking at the face of Raja” and deplored the “hypocrisy” of the secretary general of the PP, Dolores de Co pedal, who recalled his “Palestinian scarf” Raja and challenged to explain “what change and how” the proposed labor reform.

The new rules impose more frequent visits from officials of Euro stat to countries subject to prosecution for excessive deficit.

Thus, when there is reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the deficit and debt figures sent by a government in Brussels, the EU executive will send officials to the country concerned and to review firsthand the central government data, regions municipalities and social security.

In addition, Member States should provide Euro stat with the information required to examine the quality of fiscal statistics. Economic Affairs Commissioner, Olli Rein, said the new audit powers “are an essential requirement to have an economic and monetary union (EMU) strong and functioning effectively.” “We need accurate and reliable statistics on national accounts for EMU to work,” he said.

Rein announced that the first country to send a mission Euro stat when Parliament ratifies the strengthening of its powers would be Bulgaria. “We have some concerns about the functioning of statistics in Bulgaria,” he explained.

The EU executive called for and these additional powers in 2004, precisely when it was discovered that Greece had falsified data to enter the euro. However, the capital has refused to grant.

However, after coming to power, the New Greek socialist government again reviewed in October the deficit forecast for 2009 from 3.7% of GDP was estimated last spring to 12.5%. Subsequently, Euro stat has again revised upwards the Greek deficit last year to stand at 13.6%.

Distrust in the quality of the Greek statistics has been one factor that has aggravated the country’s debt crisis and forced him to benefit from the fund of 110,000 million set by the euro zone countries and the International Monetary Fund avoid bankruptcy. To avoid these problems again in the future, Member States have raised their reserves and have agreed to give more powers to the Audit Commission.
