Taking over the place

Taking over the place

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

I didn't know a thing about the business, but when dad decided he had to retire due to a medical issue, I was left with little choice but to take over the family company. It's a small furniture store, but there's a lot to consider when you are not running it all by yourself. I was pretty much terrified from the word go. I decided to do some updating first and foremost which meant buying a new inventory program for the computer which was hopefully going to streamline everything. Once that taking care of I decided it was finally time the store started accepting credit cards, so I did some research on sites like bank card processing to find out what an acceptable exchange rate was. Now I finally feel like the furniture store is in the new millennium and I have a feeling all loyal customers are really going to appreciate all my efforts. I have mom and dad both are really grateful I took over!
