Corporate social responsibility is the buzz word in big business. In this age of environmental awareness and people empowerment, corporations are expected to behave ethically, uphold environmental sustainability, help combat poverty and support social justice. The public has learned to demand this in exchange for corporate existence.
Although it is also true that many companies get away by paying mere lip service to corporate social responsibility, a lot of other companies have found it profitable to actually do the right thing. As more and more people are becoming socially responsible themselves, companies that “go green” or use sustainable technologies in producing environmentally safe products are gaining increasing numbers of loyal customers. From hybrid cars to green home cleaning solutions to natural makeup, products that save the earth are becoming the choice of many consumers.
On the other hand, companies that have been caught red-handed – such as those proven to cause environmental contamination or those proven to outsource their manufacturing to sweatshops in developing countries – have faced censure and profit-shearing boycotts.
Aside from the profitability of corporate social responsibility, though, companies would do well to recognize that it is actually be in their best interests to ensure the welfare of the environment and the people of this earth. The planet is their business site and the people are their market. For now, at least, there is no other known choice. How can they not want to protect their location and their market?
Corporate social responsibility is not only for big business, either. Even small and medium scale companies are called to uphold its principles.
Web Dot Com and CSR
Web Dot Com is a company that offers a wide range of services in the field of website development and business process outsourcing in the Philippines with international clients.
Its comprehensive website development solutions include portal development and other custom programming, web design, graphics and multimedia design, content management systems, web based database programming, e-commerce solutions with online store applications for online shopping and online payment, search engine optimization, website maintenance and support, search engine marketing, and social media marketing.

Contact center services include appointment setting, customer profiling and acquisition, business to business telesales, credit card processing, lead management, customer relations management, customer support and technical support.
So what does corporate social responsibility have to do with website development and business process outsourcing in the Philippines? Web Dot Com is of the opinion that they are related and that, in fact, it can do quite a lot in the realm of corporate social responsibility.
After all, Web Dot Com is based in the Philippines, a nation with 23 million people or 27 percent of the population living below the Asia-Pacific poverty line, according to the Asian Development Bank in 2008. This same country was tagged by the World Bank in 2008 as having the worst corruption in East Asia. As a corporate citizen of the Philippines, Web Dot Com cannot be isolated from these conditions.
As an expert in web-based processes, Web Dot Com is in a position to reach a wide number of Filipinos both in the country and around the world. It is fully equipped to support or even launch any advocacy online for the benefit of the Filipino people.
That is exactly what the company intends to do. Soon, Web Dot Com will be launching a powerful campaign to inspire awareness and involvement among Filipinos to positively make an impact on their own country’s fate. Watch out for this campaign.

Help answer the question
Does my small business need to file a tax return?
I am a small business owner and have been developing my company for the past year. Because I left my previous job to start this business I do not have a current income and because my company only recently officially "opened for business" we do not have a profit line. Do I need to file? What about the business expenses that I incur?

Soon people will care not for gold but for clean pure food/water and the good that one can offer another and those groups known for corruption & poisoning will be cast aside. What people will learn is self reliance and that people that guide others should be elected by merit, not popularity.

You need to keep accurate records when running a business. This will be your best defense if you ever get audited.
For IRS purposes, you need to make a profit every 3 out of 5 years to have the IRS prove that you are not running a business. Otherwise, it is up to you to prove that you are running a business and not doing a hobby. You can prove that you are running a business by keeping your business accounts and personal accounts separate.
You can write off any legitimate business expense including dinners with clients, car expenses, equipment, etc.
Having a separate checking account and credit card is a good idea. However, it isn't necessary. You can comingle your business and personal expenses using your personal accounts. But, if you do this, then it will be harder for you to prove that you are running a business.
For your revenues, you don't need a corporate account to make you deposits. You just need to make the deposits in your separate account that you use for business.
You can read Publication 334 for more information.

And actually, no, the Income tax does not pay one cent for our military. It exclusively pays for interest on the national debt to the Federal reserve and Entitlement programs. The federal income tax is only a process to redistribute wealth.

The requirements vary according to your state. Call the business license office for your county and just ask them if you need a business license to operate an internet store. I live in Georgia, and in my county, you do.

How about a book store, if you are looking retail?
I cant say if it would work in your town, you need to do marketing research to see what would succeed in your town.
Also in business .. Location, Location, Location is VERY important to success .. not only do you need the right business, you need the right location ..
Passion, YES .. you do have to work long hours but passion because you believe in what you are doing.
I work from home and have the utmost compassion and belief for what I do, I believe that is what brings me success ..
If you don't like books, don't like to read .. then a book store probably wont make sense. Did deep .. Only you know what you really want to do.
GL!

You can't post a Proposal for Sale of Business here. It is a comprehensive document similar to a business plan with dozens to hundreds of pages. Contact a broker like VR Business Brokers and see if you can get help. Yours is a unique business driven by personal contacts and is not easily sold.

Yes, the courses you speak of will help you to become a Business Analyst.
A BA can be on the client side or the IT side. If on the client side, they are interfacing with work group domains that process the work and review what they need. They generate requirements and then work with the IT side to update or generate processes and applications to fullfil the business needs.
If you're a BA on the IT side of the house, then you're taking all the requirements and developing processes and application solutions. Your job is to work with the client to generate a business solutions document (there are many names for it) and get signoff. Then, you need to make sure that solution becomes reality by working with systems analysts, programmers, and testers. You're generally responsible for the delivery of the solution. Although, if the solution revolves around process changes with other work group domains, you normally work with a PM (Project Manager). Never the less, you have end to end responsibilities for the IT delivery to insure the client gets what they need (and paying for).
With the offshoring of work to cheap labor, to remain associated with software development, the BA role is a good profession.
