13. TRANSFER BY DEPOSITOR

Instructions by Depositor to Warehouseman to transfer Goods on the books of Warehouseman are not effective until delivered to and accepted by Warehouseman, and all charges up to the time transfer is made are chargeable to Depositor.

b. When Goods are ordered out, a reasonable time shall be given Warehouseman to carry out instructions. In the event that Warehouseman is unable because of acts of God, war, public enemies, seizure under legal process, strikes, lockouts, riots, or any other reason beyond Warehouseman’s control, because of loss or destruction of Goods for which Warehouseman is not liable, or because of any other excuse provided by law, Warehouseman shall not be liable for failure to carry out such instructions, and Goods remaining in storage shall continue to be subject to regular storage charges.

c. In the event that a negotiable warehouse receipt has been issued, no Goods covered by that receipt shall be delivered, or transferred on the books of Warehouseman, unless the receipt, properly endorsed, is surrendered for cancellation or for endorsement of partial delivery. If a negotiable receipt is lost or destroyed, delivery of Goods may be made only on order of a court of competent jurisdiction and the posting of security approved by the court.

15. LIABILITY OF WAREHOUSEMAN
a. Warehouseman shall not be liable for any loss or injury to Goods however caused unless the loss or injury results from failure by Warehouseman to exercise such care in regard to Goods as a reasonable careful man would exercise under like circumstances and Warehouseman is not liable for damages that could not have been avoided by the exercise of such care.

b. Goods are not insured by Warehouseman against loss or injury however caused.
c. Depositor declares that damages are limited to [AMOUNT].

16. NOTICE OF CLAIM; FILING OF SUIT
a. Claims by Depositor and all other persons must be presented in writing to Warehouseman within a reasonable time, and in no event later than either [NUMBER] days after delivery of Goods by Warehouseman or [NUMBER] days after Depositor or the last known holder of a negotiable warehouse receipt issued for Goods is notified by Warehouseman that loss or injury to all or any part of Goods has occurred, whichever time is shorter.

b.

c. When Goods have not been delivered, notice may be given of known loss or injury to Goods by mailing of a letter by registered mail to Depositor or to the last known holder of a negotiable warehouse receipt issued for Goods.

Dear [CONTACT NAME],
This is to inform you that I am in receipt of your letter of [DATE] and I acknowledge that my account is in arrears in the amount of [AMOUNT].

We have been experiencing some difficulties lately in collecting our accounts receivable and unfortunately the domino theory has become more reality than theory.

In fairness to all of our creditors, I would like to suggest that I send you [AMOUNT] per month for a period of [NUMBER] months in order to satisfy this obligation. I am enclosing the first check for [AMOUNT] as a sign of good faith and am hoping that this proposal will be acceptable to you. It is understood that should we be successful in our attempts to collect some of our larger receivables during the next few months, I will be most happy to remit the entire balance due on this account.

Please let me hear from you regarding the proposal I have outlined.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this unfortunate situation.

Business Planning

Executive Summary
The executive summary will provide readers and potential investors a brief yet dynamic description of the key components of the business plan. To make sure it is clear and comprehensive, it is often the last section to be written. A first-time reader should be able to read the summary by itself and know what your business is all about. The summary should stand-alone and should not refer to other parts of your business plan.

The summary, between one to three pages in length, will motivate readers to continue reading the remainder of the business plan in more detail.

The summary should include the following subsections:

Business Description
Provide a brief description of your company. The opening paragraphs should introduce what you do and where. From this section, the investor must be convinced of the uniqueness of the business and gain a clear idea of the market in which the company will operate. The legal form of the business such as LLC, S-Corporation, C-Corporation, Partnership, or Proprietorship should be stated as well as the objectives of the business via a mission statement that clearly states the business' purpose and values. Include a vision statement as well as where you see the business in five to ten years. Be sure to answer the following questions that are usually asked by potential investors:

 What form of business are you in?
 What type of business is it (e.g. manufacturing, consulting, reselling, services)?
 Is it a new business, a takeover, a franchise?
 What is your product or service?

Products and Services
This should include a very brief overview and description of your products and services, with emphasis on distinguishing features. Be sure to answer the following questions that are usually asked by potential investors:

 How will the products be made or the services performed?
 What will they do for the customers/clients?
 What is different about the product or service your business is offering?
 What value do you add to your product?
 What is it that separates your company from the rest of the pack?
 Is your product or technology proprietary, patented, copyrighted?

The Market
Provide a brief description of the market you will be competing in. Here you will define your market, how large it is, and how much of the market share you expect to capture. It is important to reference credible sources and include the name of your source(s) of information along with a date. Indicate how you will market the products/services and which channels will be used to deliver your products/services to your target market(s) (i.e. website, direct sales force, Value Added Resellers, channel partners, etc…). Be sure to answer the following questions that are usually asked by potential investors:

 What are the key drivers, trends, and influences in the market?
 To whom do you market your products and services?
 How will you educate your customers to buy from you?
 Who is your target market?

Competition
It is important to show the reader that you have investigated the competition. Identify the direct and indirect competitors, with analysis of their pricing and promotional strategies, as well as an assessment of their competitive advantage. Based on this analysis, you can identify key obstacles for your business, the additional services you might offer, competitive challenges, as well as opportunities ahead. Briefly describe the competitive outlook and dynamics of the relevant market in which you will operate. Be sure to answer the following questions that are usually asked by potential investors:

 Is your service better, faster, cheaper and if so why?
 Is your advantage a temporary “window” and are there steps you can take to protect your position?
 What have you learned from the competition? From their advertising?
 How is their business currently? Steady? Increasing? Decreasing?

You may also wish to include the following table:
