Revenue Vs Profit: What Matters Most For Your Business?

Revenue Vs Profit: What Matters Most For Your Business?

Revenue Vs Profit: What Matters Most For Your Business? getty Understanding the differences between revenue and profit can be tricky, but it is one of the most important things a business owner needs to understand. The two terms are often used interchangeably, but they are quite distinct. So, which one is more important for your business? Revenue vs profit defined Before we dive into the differences between revenue and profit, let’s take a moment to define each term. Revenue is the total amount of money a business earns from sales over a certain period. Revenue includes all income sources such as sales, services, interest earned on investments and any other income received by the company during that period. On the other hand, profit is the amount of money left over after all expenses have been paid. In other words, it’s what’s left after revenues are subtracted from costs. Profit is the lifeblood of any business. Without profit, a business can quickly spiral out of financial control. A good handle on profit and finding ways to increase it should be one of the primary focuses for all business owners. Why are both revenue and profit important? It’s easy to think […]

The Global Talent Pool Is Officially Open For Business

The Global Talent Pool Is Officially Open For Business

Five years ago, working remotely was a fun trend. One pandemic later, remote work is the order of business for huge swaths of the professional world. Just because C-suites are finally accepting the value of remote work doesn’t mean they’re applying it well, though. In fact, many leaders are trying to reverse course and head back to a hybrid or full-time in-person work experience. Folly. The concept of a global workforce used to be daunting. Now, technology has made hiring from an … [+] getty Those who want to stay on the bleeding edge need to look for ways to capitalize on (rather than minimize) the remote work experience. One of these ways is by expanding beyond traditional talent pools and recruiting from across the world. Here are a few reasons why there has never been a better time to build a global workforce. 1. You Don’t Need to Worry About Compliance and Payroll Before highlighting genuine benefits, let’s begin by debunking an old remote work boogeyman (especially where international workers are concerned). For many, the sheer complexities and headaches that come from operating a company across national borders are too much to even consider. Compliance, payroll, and even […]

Business Analytics, IT Security, and Supply Chain to Take Prominent Place in Revamped School of Business Program

‘These four new concentrations will allow our students a deeper focus on their area of interest and to graduate with a more specific skillset’ Supply chain management skills are increasingly in demand across multiple industries (Adobe Stock). The School of Business is making significant changes to one of its undergraduate programs, modernizing it to increase the emphasis on data analytics and creating a more direct pipeline to employment. Beginning in the Fall, the Management Information Systems (MIS) program will become Analytics and Information Management (AIM). The new major will offer four concentrations: Business Intelligence, Application Development, IT Security, and Supply Chain Management. “We are making the change to better align the major with changes we are seeing in industry and society, especially the importance of analytics,’’ says Professor Jon Moore, who led the team that revised the curriculum. “These four new concentrations will allow our students a deeper focus on their area of interest and to graduate with a more specific skillset.’’ Professor Cuihong Li , head of the OPIM department that includes the new major, says the restructuring and upgrading of the program comes at the right time. Advanced technology has made vast amounts of data available, enabling […]

Shapiro’s 1st Pa. budget to focus on schools, business taxes

Shapiro’s 1st Pa. budget to focus on schools, business taxes

Gov. Josh Shapiro is proposing a hefty an increase in aid to Pennsylvania’s schools in his first budget delivered Tuesday to the Legislature, but the Democrat’s administration also emphasized prudence, saying a massive cash surplus will dwindle over time. Shapiro’s budget proposal comes as Pennsylvania keeps taking in robust tax collections, leaving it with $11 billion in reserve cash, even as the administration faces demands for more money for schools, highways and social services. Spending would rise modestly while Shapiro is proposing no increases in income or sales taxes, the state’s two main sources of revenue. Shapiro did not, however, repeat his call during the campaign to more than halve the corporate net income tax rate over two years, preferring instead to discuss to lawmakers while his administration keeps an eye out for volatility in collections. WHYY thanks our sponsors — become a WHYY sponsor Shapiro is also proposing no major one-time spending items using the reserve cash, although roughly $1 billion in new money for public schools will come with grants for mental health needs, security improvements and removing environmental hazards. Shapiro will address a joint session of the House and Senate late Tuesday morning. All told, Shapiro’s […]

Covering your business for potential liability claims

Covering your business for potential liability claims

WB file photo Making sure your working vessels and business are covered for liability claims does not stop at the water’s edge. While you may be focused on the liability you face while working on the water, don’t forget about the liability you may be exposed to on dry land. Chances are vessel crews are covered under protection and indemnity (P&I) for an injury or illness occurring while they are in service to the ship or ships. This coverage extends to crew while they are away from the boat but on ship business. But what if a crewmember gets into an accident while driving to the marine supply store and, worse, another person is injured? In a motor vehicle accident, the vehicle’s coverage is primary. This means that if you send an employee to the store in their own vehicle to pick up some supplies for your boat and they get into an accident, their personal automobile coverage will be the primary insurance should someone get injured. Required automobile liability limits vary from state to state, and if the accident is severe your employee’s personal auto policy may not carry sufficient limits to pay for the damages. In a […]
