  1. self employment and banks

    Me too. You: The IRS wants to know your GROSS to figure out taxes, lending institutions want your NET to loan you money. It would seem to me that banks could somehow "understand" how self employed taxes are done but I really dont think they have a clue OR they dont care since a lot of bank got...
  2. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    Stores don't staff properly and want you to check out yourself, what did they think was gonna happen? I'm not saying it's right but they are not blameless here either.
  3. self employment and banks

    If you don't qualify then you don't qualify. I don't understand your bellyaching here, you say all is good but then bitch that the bank looked at covid numbers which were bad. Sounds like they are doing their job to me and you're not telling the whole story. Be honest here, you can only...
  4. self employment and banks

    Construction loans are known for being difficult and stringent. After 35 years you should know a bank uses income tax returns to qualify small business owners on loans, ,it's good reason to be honest on your taxes.
  5. Grimco Buys GSG

    Now that they are about out of large distributors to take over, when do they start buying the wholesale print companies?
  6. The annual question...how was business this year?

    We saw similar, this year was on par with 2023 until sept/oct. We have a smaller backlog than usual but that is somewhat of a relief after the past few years of craziness.
  7. Leveling the bed of our Zund G3 Cutter

    All you need is a cheap dial indicator and a way to attach it to the gantry. Find a 0 point and adjust from there ,I assume the Zund has leveling screws under the vac plates? It's no different than leveling any table, land, concrete forms etc, no need to call a tech or be scared of it.
  8. Looking for high quality sign/graphics company in Orlando

    What about contractor licensing? They are strict here
  9. Need Help Graphtec cutting inaccurate

    The bill is in the mail
  10. Advice on application tables

    We bought a Fayon smart table direct from the manufacturer in China, these things are pretty basic and didn't see any need in blowing a pile of money on one. Nobody liked it at first but it's invaluable once you get the hang of it, it gets used every day. I've never had an issue getting parts...
  11. Help with making aluminum signs!

    They won't hold up. It really has to be engraved,, we have had to do a pencil rubbing many times to get serial numbers off of parts and machines.
  12. Wholesaler for anti graffiti prints

    IIRC, a lot of the dry erase laminates aren't for outdoors. Vandalguard is an anti-graffiti laminate that can be used as dry erase
  13. "No More Walk-ins" - Good Idea, or Terrible Mistake?

    I often wonder if these "wholesalers" solicit direct business if they see enough volume coming through from one of their sign shop customers. Similar to what Amazon did to sellers years back. Under a different name of course so nobody knows the difference
  14. Super Duty lifting

    It's embossed, not a badge. Fill it with bondo if you keep having issues.
