Affiliate marketing has evolved substantially within the last decade. In the early days of the cost-per-thousand (CPM) business model, marketers relied on the Internet to serve as an awareness tool.

How do I start a successful retail business?

2. Which type of business is more predictable and does not change often: Specialty retail or mail order?

Question about business

What is the best way to transfer my small business to my son?
I want to give my son my business without charging him any upfront money. I would like to pull a small income from the business each month as a retirement. I dont want a share in the business just a guaranteed payment each month. I have been in business since 1983 and have annual average revenue of $225,000. My son has been working with me now for the past 8 years and has shown great leadership skills.
I am concerned about things like tax ramifications of not handling this properly. Our business isnt incorporated instead it is a sole proprietorship. Would it be better to incorporate and retain a share of the business while giving my son the majority? Also I have a house for sale currently but it is pre foreslosure. I have a buyer lined up and we are in the midst of negotiating the home sale. If the house were to fully be foreclosed would this affect the business and perhaps even void the business sale?
Thank you for any honest advice.
