As the business consultant at “Business Consultancy One Stop Shop” frequently asked about Government Big Brother intrusion into our business lives. Those advocating even closer scrutiny and increased surveillance always cite the same reason, i.e. “if you are doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear from increased government intrusion.” Ask any security or business consultant and they will tell you this argument is like a house built from playing cards. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of people who have been illegally incarcerated in various forms of miscarriage of justice cases.
Dr. Mark D. Yates from the business consultancy group www.businessconsultancyonestopshop.com states; Whenever the Government tries to assert its dominance over areas of business beyond their control bad things happen. The fact that many of these sensational projects are actively promoted by self serving politicians who seek nothing other than personal kudos and press coverage.
If we were to look for a perfect example of how a government can screw up a business sector then one only has to look at the appalling failures in our National Health service. And if we explore government interference a tad further then the entire fiasco surrounding the proposed government introduction of Identify cards for all British residents.
Business Consultancy agencies are advised by Dr. Mark D. Yates that now that businesses are embracing the internet for gaining new business, and for implementing online sales and marketing strategies, the government has expressed an interest in the increasingly popular social networking web sites Facebook and Myspace. Their aim is Facebook monitoring and if successful it will have a detrimental effect on every business consultant and every Business Consultancy agency using social networking web sites.
Dr. Mark D. Yates from Business Consultancy One Stop Shop states. The British public were first alerted to this proposed intrusion when Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker announced earlier this month that the Government was considering acting on social networking sites because they were not covered by the latest proposals from Brussels. He added that the Government’s intercept modernisation programme proposals may be extended to include “the retention of data on Facebook, Bebo, MySpace and all other similar sites”. In plain English this translates to Facebook monitoring.
While acknowledging concerns surrounding rights to privacy Dr. Mark D. Yates feels it is only a matter of time before all online social networking web sites are forced under fear of prosecution to retain details of the individuals and businesses utilising these web sites. They are also likely to have to retain all date about visitors who correspond with these social networking web sites.
Dr. Mark Yates from Business Consultancy One Stop Shop further suggests this latest intrusion of Facebook monitoring fits right in with another government plan to store information about every telephone call, e-mail and internet visit made by anyone in the UK on a central database.
I fully understand the ramifications of collating advance intelligence in regard to combating threats from terrorists and organised crime gangs however it’s a fine line between this and retaining the rights to privacy which should by default follow on from a nation which prides itself on a freedom of speech policy.
As a business consultant for Business Consultancy One Stop Shop I admit to having concerns about the governments plans for Facebook monitoring.
Question about business consulting
Which business entity should I chose for my small consulting business?I want to start a VERY small consulting business on the side and want to know how I should go about incorporating to avoid the most taxation and also avoid personal liability. I would be the only "employee". I live in California and I expect to make less than $20,000 a year in gross receipts. Thanks!

Thank you for this
Psychology would be a great addition to your studies for this. Remember that Psychology focuses on understanding human behavior, and there's a whole section of Psychology that focuses on businesses (Organizational and Industrial Psychology) in which people study what makes businesses work well, how to motivate people and engage them in companies and organizations, and how to manage change. Given what you've said, this would be a great addition for you. I'm a Psychology Professor and an Executive Coach, so I understand the the role Psychology plays in business development, change, and management very well. You'd be well served by this switch.

Great video and great instructor…I find this video very valuable.
I think depending on your location, there is probably going to be demand for any or all of those. The first 2 are quite easy to get up to speed on, the last one is probably going to be a bit harder. We used a personal travel planner to arrange our honeymoon, and the consultant was born and raised in the area we were visiting, and spent 2 months of each year updating their information by visiting the hotels/lodges to make sure they were still worth recommending etc etc.
Good Luck!
Obviously, consulting business has great worth to earn, especially when, you backed with market experience.
Think on this, Why would a company or small business that needs to cut cost hire a consultant?
I work at the number one business consulting firm in the world (im not a consultant) and im telling you its very hard to get into…they only accept people from ivy league college and only people in the top of the class. My suggestion to you would be to go to a smaller firm like Pricewaterhouse cooper and work there for a but then try to go to one of the large firms.
wow! Great action
You can do business registration, but political consultant is typically not one of the occupations that require a license to operate unlike daycare operators, contractors or cosmetologists
Where are you based? You can go to your local county clerk's office and register your business. File a DBA or doing business as or fictitious name if you will be using a business name other than your given name. You can check with them the requirements needed to start the business.
Once you have your DBA, you can bring your business registration forms to the bank so you can open a business bank account under your business name. The bank will not allow you to open an account if you haven't registered your business.
To get clients for this business, however, you need connections. Lots and lots of networking and schmoozing.
