...Signs Expansion Proposal 1 Signs and Design Business Expansion Proposal Signs Expansion Proposal Signs and Design Business Expansion Proposal E-Commerce Solutions The E-Commerce solution I recommend for Howard Signs and Design to leverage is the Intuit Online Payment System and Payment Network (IPN.intuit.com). This benefits the business because it is inexpensive. There are no setup fees, monthly fees or cancellation fees. Each inbound 2 bank transaction has a flat fee rate of fifty cents for payee and is free for all payers. Automatic bank to bank payments are quick, most are next day. Online invoicing is easy and payment requests can be sent directly to email, pay buttons are available for the business Web site and payment links can be put in invoices, emails, anywhere. Also, this same system can provide outbound payments to suppliers and vendors. This centralizes accounts receivables and accounts payable in one system without anyone else needing a payment network account. It is completely integrated with the current accounting system used by Howard Signs and Design providing seamless reconciliation with QuickBooks. The vendor benefits by earning the transaction fee and integrated revenue from QuickBooks business accounting software and Intuit tax return software which this business currently leverages. Web site banner advertising/affiliate marketing for Intuit as well as social media connections with Howard Signs and Design will also benefit the vendor. ...

...How are research proposals different and similar to business proposals? “A research proposal addresses a particular project: academic or scientific research… Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews and must offer convincing support of need for the research study being proposed.” ( )“A business proposal is a written scheme from a seller to a prospective customer. The main purpose is to fulfill the requirements of a client.” ( ) There are many differences and similarities between formal research proposals and business proposals. The first of these similarities and differences is found in the proposal goals. In a business proposal, the goals are often found in the proposal's overview section or basic proposal introduction. A formal research proposal differs from a business proposal because it often focuses on finding information or data that will help the business make better decisions. Most times business proposals suggest new products or services, with a goal to make money for the business. Formal research proposals have more of a theoretical approach, and business proposals have a practical approach as far as things to do to make money. Another thing to consider when comparing the two proposals is the content located within the formal research and business proposal sections. Both of these proposals share the similarity of the introduction and conclusion, but the other sections within them are different. A formal research report has a research...
