5 Reasons You Can't Sell Your Company (Cached)	7.3.2013	Inc
Some transactions just don't close, despite the huge amount of time the owner sinks into them. Here's why. Just because you’re looking for an exit from your company doesn’t mean you’ll be able to find one. Some transactions just don’t close. More often than you’d expect, the owner has invested a great deal of time, money and energy in the process – packaging the company, marketing it to potential buyers, going through due diligence and negotiations with the intended buyer – but despite his or her best efforts, the deal falls apart, sometimes at the eleventh hour. Why, then, do middle-market deals fail? Here’s how to make sure you don’t waste your efforts when it’s time to sell. The financial advice isn’t good enough When an owner tries to sell a business himself, and he’s never gone through the process before, he just doesn’t know what’s normal to expect. Although he’s great at running his company, ...

Australia ships wine in bulk, not bottles	9.2.2013	SFGate: Business & Technology
Australia ships wine in bulk, not bottles Accolade Wines, the maker of Hardys, pared shipping costs that can amount to as much as $3 per case by ditching glass bottles and shipping its fruit of the vine in giant plastic bladders. Australia's $5.8 billion wine industry moves more than half its overseas shipments in bulk, making the 40-day journey to Europe safely ensconced in plastic. Treasury Wine Estates brands and Pernod Ricard's Jacob's Creek are also being shipped in bulk, while Casella Wines, maker of the wine label Yellow Tail, says it may move to bulk exports to cut costs. Sea transport costs are typically based on volume, so filling a shipping container with cases of bottled low-end wine wastes space on packaging, says Tony Woodborne, manager of Flexibulk Logistics, a Sydney wine freight company. Sending a container of bottled wine from South Australia, the nation's biggest wine-producing state, to Europe costs about $3,300 to $3,400, says Ben Mislov, sales manager for transport company ...

The secret of the 'special offer' economy burger \| Felicity Lawrence	25.1.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
The packaging is the same, but the price is slashed. So it must be the same burger, but cheaper, right? Wrong Public health minister Anna Soubry is worried that poor people are fat these days. When she was a child they were taunted for being "skinny runts" you could spot a mile off, but now she reckons to be able to identify them not by how thin and hungry they are, but by their obesity. She has a point. Class determines how obese you are, how long you live, what sort of illnesses you are likely to suffer from. But if Soubry wants to use her role to do something about it, she might like to investigate the current burger scandal for a less judgmental view of why these health inequalities persist. Poor people eat a lot more cheap burgers and processed meats than more affluent households, who tend to choose more virtuous wholemeal bread and fruit and vegetables. This has more than a little to do with prices. A posh beefburger that is made of 90-100% beef will set you back about £1. An ...

Texas company: Microwave keeps bread mold at bay	8.1.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Betsy Blaney The Associated Press Published Jan 8, 2013 10:05AM MDT Lubbock, Texas • Attention, bread shoppers: A Texas company could have the answer to some consumers’ unwelcome discovery that just-purchased loaves contain mold. MicroZap Inc. claims its technology allows bread to stay mold-free for 60 days. The bread is bombarded with microwaves for about 10 seconds, which kills the mold spores, said chief executive officer Don Stull said. The process could eliminate bakers’ need for preservatives and ingredients used to mask preservatives’ flavor, as well as r... ...

Utah’s Packsize thinks it has the right disruptive idea	8.12.2012	Salt Lake Tribune

Ten years ago, he established Packsize International, a Salt Lake City company that today is poised to be elevated from obscurity to fame.

S.F.'s yerdle: sharing, not shopping	25.11.2012	SFGate: Business & Technology
S.F.'s yerdle: sharing, not shopping The founders of San Francisco's yerdle, spelled with a lowercase "y," have high expectations of being able to make the retail industry more environmentally friendly by matching Facebook friends who have unused goods with people who could put them to use. [...] Werbach and yerdle co-founder Andy Ruben, a former Walmart executive, believe company mottos like "sharing is more fun than shopping" and "why shop when you can share?" make perfect business sense. "There's a set of items that are either occasionally used or used intensely for a short period of time - baby clothes, shin guards, camping tents, kitchen pasta makers, ice cream makers - that your friends probably have and aren't using," Werbach said. Pam Marcus, CEO of a Berkeley cookie company, gave away an overabundance of Fuji apples from her tree to a woman who wanted to make applesauce for her kids. Ruben spent nearly 20 years in retail and is best known as the executive who headed Walmart's ...
