Need Financing to Buy or Grow a Franchise? New Franchise Industry Programs Can Help
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: March 18, 2013, 7:33 am
- Updated: March 18, 2013, 7:37 am
The franchise industry, like all businesses, was not immune to the economic crisis of 2008 and the ensuing credit crunch. But the vital signs of a recovery are there. According to the International Franchise Association (IFA), many of the country's business sectors currently starting to show growth mirror those sectors expected to be the leading drivers of employment in franchising this year. These include food service, health care, hospitality and construction—all sectors with a high concentration of franchise businesses.
"For those Americans dealing with long-term unemployment or a lack of growth opportunities in their current jobs, franchise ownership offers a viable way to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself," said IFA President & CEO Steve Caldeira.
The Franchise Industry Tackles the Credit Crunch Head-on
Despite these indicators, financing remains a problem for potential franchise owners. According to Entrepreneur magazine (January 2013), there's still an 18 percent lending shortfall in the franchising industry. In a bid to boost franchise ownership, many franchisors are taking matters into their own hands and offering financing programs of their own. Meineke, The UPS Store, Gold's Gym, Masasge Envy and Instant Imprints are just a few examples of franchisors now offering financing to qualifying first-time and multi-store franchise owners.
Want to know more? IFA President and CEO, Steve Caldeira offers the following tips (courtesy of Entrepreneur magazine) to would-be or existing franchise owners looking for an alternative to traditional financing options.
Which Franchisors Are Offering Financing Programs?
Approximately 75 to 100 franchisors are offering or working on offering creative financing programs for start-up franchise owners or those looking to expand. Programs range from zero-percent financing for a limited-term, lower license fees, reduced royalties and minority stake ownership by franchisors in multi-unit outlets. Each brand has its own offering, so down payments and collateral requirements will vary.
In addition, the franchise industry is also experiencing a growth in companies dedicated to helping franchise owners secure financing. Two such firms are BoeFly (which matches borrowers to lenders online) and Franchise America Finance (who provides custom lending solutions for franchisees and works with franchisors such as The UPS Store, Popeyes, and Jersey Mike's).
Always Do Your Franchise and Financing Due Diligence
If you are new to franchise ownership, be sure to do your research and due diligence about the franchise system you're interested in (get tips on that process here). Study the Franchise Disclosure Document (required by law) and speak to other franchisees about the brand and the financing program on offer. Next, try to understand what your financial responsibilities as a franchise owner will be. This blog offers some pointers on this: Buying a Franchise – How to Determine What it's Going to Cost You.
Other Franchise Financing Options
Many banks and credit unions offer financing for franchise purchases, so be sure to compare any franchisor lending rates and terms with these. When you approach a bank, be prepared to disclose all your financial information. While your credit rating is important, you'll also need to provide a personal financial statement, copies of tax returns and information about the source of your down payment funds.
You should also be aware that your choice of franchise will influence a bank's decision to fund you. Franchises with strong brand names, a track record of consistent profits and cash flow—plus an ability to perform well across a variety of diverse locations—are going to stand you in good stead when you meet with your bank manager.
If your bank is hesitant about a particular franchise system's performance, or your finances aren't as strong as they could be, you might want to consider an SBA loan. SBA doesn't lend to business owners directly; it provides a repayment guarantee to banks and lenders for money they lend to small businesses, making it less risky for the banks. Use this search tool to find the right SBA loan for you.

abroad. 1) Be aware of US Federal regulations for doing business overseas.
Available info sources at SBA, Dept of Commerce, etc. 2) Be aware of business
regulations in destination country. Is it under any embargoes or
political/trade sanctions? Countries under US trade and other sanctions do
not advertise the fact. They will do anything to get your business, and the
overseas seller of business might not volunteer the info, or may be ignorant
of political repercussions. 3) Do you require visas to get there? Or do you
conduct business from the comfort of your office in the West? 4) Be aware of
What constitutes illegal business overseas. What may appear to be commissions
could be serious breaches via corruption from govt officials.5) Do not
hesitate to consult with local independent consultants as those subscribing
to this valuable SBA resource. (This post was edited to remove a link. Please

The Cradle in the Grave
A Novel
Sophie Hannah - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
"This book's triumph is that it is not just a perfectly executed psychological thriller, but a pertinent meditation on society itself." -The Guardian
Television producer Fliss Benson is surprised to discover that her superstar boss, Laurie Nattrass, is stepping down-and that she is to take over his documentary about crib-death mothers wrongly accused of murder. Thanks to Nattrass's advocacy, three women are now free, while the doctor who testified against them is under investigation for misconduct. Then one of the mothers is found dead. In her pocket is a card with sixteen numbers on it, arranged in four rows of four-exactly like the anonymous card Fliss has just received in the mail. A masterful tale of psychological suspense, The Cradle in the Grave will transfix Sophie Hannah's fast-growing audience.

City workers in Charlottesville monitored the roadways as the snow began to fall Sunday afternoon. The city has seen about 2 to 3 inches of snow so far.
Snow completely covered streets and vehicles. Charlottesville and Albemarle County crews have been working for the last two days trying to prepare for this winter storm.
City officials say the efforts are paying off.
"We always work our primary roads first and then we get to the secondary. The primaries at this point are doing pretty well," said city spokesman Ric Barrick. "Secondaries are slush-covered, and as the temperature drops tonight, we hope to take care of those with further treatments. But right now the city streets are doing pretty well."
City officials are asking people to stay off the roads.

City must enforce zoning agaist Walmart [ Tue Jan 15 2013 1:54 PM ]
Daniel Shaw makes the case against siding with Walmart crystal clear.
It all comes down to Land use and zoning.
A Walmart does not belong on this corner.Any Big Box does not belong on this corner.
And it is incomprehendable that this fight is still going on, Walmart should have been denied the first time around.
Every resident of Albuquerque and Bernillio County should be demanding that all zoning be enforced.
Because if Walmart wins this, there will be no stopping them in any neighborhood.

New football field in Northwood after 2007 devastating tornadoNorthwood, ND (WDAY TV) - It was a farm field before part of the tornado touched down six years ago. Now, there's a new field here bringing a whole different kind of touchdown.
By: Kayla Strayer, WDAZ, WDAY
Northwood, ND (WDAY TV) - A tornado devastated the town of Northwood, North Dakota, in August of 2007.
Since then, residents have built new homes, a new school, and now: A new football field.
These images show the rubble Northwood was left with after a deadly tornado ripped through the town of about 1,000 people.
It was a farm field before part of the tornado touched down six years ago. Now, there's a new field here bringing a whole different kind of touchdown.
Here's the Northwood-Hatton Thunder taking on New Rockford-Sheyenne in the first game ever played on Tyler Field. For Thunder fullback Tyler Holden, there's a lot of firsts tonight.
Tyler Holden- Northwood Football Player: "The first game was really special; the grand opening on Tyler Field. My name is Tyler, so it was pretty cool; and got the first touchdown on Tyler Field, so it was pretty awesome."
David Holden- Tyler's Dad: "To have a Tyler make the touchdown: That was really icing on the cake."
Tyler's mom, Teri, congratulates her son after his big game. She says Northwood and the surrounding communities have come a long way since the tornado.
Teri Holden- Tyler's Mom: "It just totally devastated the whole town, but we've come together; both towns, and made it work."
That sense of teamwork carries over on the field. Opponents give each other a hand, the water boys rush to do their job well and they share some laughs while they're at it.
Nearly $55,000 was raised to build Tyler Field. John Hutchison helped organize the fundraising efforts.
John Hutchison- Helped with Fundraising: "It's made for football, and we're happy to be in our own place."
It's named Tyler Field after longtime Northwood football coach Otto Tyler, who died of cancer a few years ago.
John: "I taught with Coach Tyler for over 30 years, and now, to have a chance to dedicate this to him and name the field after him has been fun."
The Thunder caps off the night with a 35 to 14 win.
There are still a few things left to complete at the new field, including the press box, but organizers say it will be done this season.

Gary Norland had worked as an equipment operator, lineman, foreman, and superintendent, when he started work at a local mill that produced its own electricity. One Friday afternoon, storms had gone through, and his crew was investigating outages. However, Gary and his co-workers were more focused on plans for the weekend than the job at hand—their work near overhead power lines. As Gary leaned back, he came into contact with 12,500 volts of electricity.
After the accident, Gary spent four months in the hospital. He went through excruciating graftingprocesses because he had 15 exit wounds and suffered burns across 37% of his body. He has undergone more than 50 surgeries, and more surgeries are expected.Gary and his family are working with Safe Electricity's 2013 "Teach Learn Care TLC" campaign to help prevent others from having accidents with overhead power lines and to keep other families from having to go through such a tragic experience.
Gary urges people to take the time to be safe both on the job and at home.

1875 S Bascom Ave Ste 550, Campbell, CA | Directions 9500837.289500 -121.934601
R.I.P. – It appears that they have closed all of their restaurants! The Campbell restaurant has been closed now for about a month. We used to frequent this restaurant regularly. We will miss the great food, casual atmosphere, and convent location.
Nachos! – I've had a few dishes that were good but nothing compares to the Nachos... they are piled high and dumped with lots of yummy stuff. The margaritas are not the best and the service could use a little boost. I will continue to go just because of the nachos!
Lousy food!! – We live right around the corner and have tried this place several times, thanks to its convenience.
But other than its location, it's got nothing going for it. First off, last time we went, they forgot to seat us. We were told "It's a 10-minute wait, just have a seat and we'll call your name." We waited, waited, waited... looked inside the restaurant and saw LOTS of empty tables, and then went back to the hostess stand. No hostess was on duty. We stood there and waited until she bolted out of the back of the restaurant and started apologizing profusely, and then sprinted us to our table so quickly we almost lost sight of her from across the room.
Next, about the food: The food is so incredibly bland that everything (beans, meat, chips, rice) needs salt added. The salsa that came with the chips before the meal was nothing but canned crushed tomatoes with some minced parsley mixed in for color (but not for taste). We asked for a bottle of Tapatio's sauce and liberally dosed the salsa bowl, and that made it barely edible. They don't make their own enchiladas on-site (must be bought in-bulk from Sysco) because they can't swap out ingredients (chicken instead of meat, for example).
We ordered the sopapillas for dessert, and they were good. Probably the only good thing we had there.
I can't speak for their tequilas or margaritas, since I've never ordered any. Maybe they're good. Or mabye you just need to drink a lot of tequila to make the food taste adequate.
If you're in the Pruneyard and looking for Mexican food, just cross the street to Baja Fresh. Far superior food at a lower cost, but more of a cafeteria atmosphere.
Sub-par chain restaurant food – I cannot believe this place got best margaritas!? The ONLY time I would drink them is during their 50 cent margarita time. They are from a machine and taste canned - nothing special.
Also the food... is bad. It reminds me of another mex chain called "Chi-Chi's" which went out of business because they poisoned people from poor standards - no joke.
If you really want some mexican food, there is another restaurant around the corner, which I haven't tried, but I'm sure is better. Or if you are willing to drive, Consuelo in Santana Row or Andale in Los Gatos
WOW-zers – This is one of my favorite places to go anytime of the day. The drifter knocks my socks off, the club sandwich makes my tastebuds dance with joy, and THE SERVICE...is nothing short of stellar. The staff is friendly, fun, and outgoing. And, above all, it has to be said that the Assistant Manager knows how to please his customers. On top of his fine service, his fine backside makes dining here all the more pleasing to the senses. It cannot be said enough: ORDER THE DRIFTER!
Lefty's is to tequila what Home Depot is to hardware--they've got everything. – In Short
The restaurants' interiors are stylish and playful, perfect for kicking back with friends and another No. 6. The agave nectar is the real focus of this small chain of Southwestern-themed restaurants. The food is good but doesn't live up to the high standards set by the margaritas. Top offerings include the tamales, barbecued ribs, the chicken sandwich (great seasoned fries), and the grilled Dixon pork.
Damn good food! – Never had a bad meal here, lunch or dinner - always lots of fun whether just two of you or a whole bunch of people... food is great!!!
The red tortilla chips are the best!

2011 Harvest Select Sweet Riesling
Our Harvest Select Riesling is made in a slightly sweeter style than our Columbia Valley Riesling, but still shows the elements of this classic wine. It offers beautiful crisp varietal character with rich flavors of ripe pear and peach. Richness is balanced by crisp acidity to maintain harmony.

The Columbia Valley Syrah is a soft, ripe Syrah with ripe berry fruit aromas and flavors with hints of vanilla and brown sugar spice. The 2008 Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier for an even more accessible and fruit forward style of Syrah. This is an enjoyable red.

2011 Sauvignon Blanc
The cooler vintage led to a more herbal style of Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of grass, and grapefruit with a clean, fresh finish. The mostly stainless steel fermentation makes this a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. This wine would pair well with dishes with cream sauce.

"The drop-in room, depending on what day it is, often has 20 to 30 kids," youth program coordinator Taylor Morgan said. "It's bursting at the seams."
Staff are now looking to relocate from the facility on the Reno/Sparks border, though they are not sure where or when it would happen. When it does, Morgan said it would be nice not to have to dedicate money for the purchase and remodeling solely from the Children Cabinet's overhead fund.
That's why it would be a boon to win the Sparks-based HSP Painting Co.'s second annual Charity Makeover contest, Morgan said. The Children Cabinet is one of four local non-profit organizations in the running for a community vote on locals' favorite charity to provide $10,000 in painting and remodeling services.
The four nominees include the Children's Cabinet, Northern Nevada HOPES, STEP2 and RSVP.
Northern Nevada HOPES offers clinical and social services, such as free HIV testing, to the public.
STEP2 provides comprehensive treatment and recovery services for chemically dependent women and their families, as well as care for pregnant and parenting women and their children.
RSVP, or the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Washoe County, provides opportunities for adults 55 and older to connect with public entities and non-profits.
HSP owner and CEO PJ Guarino said his company has nothing to do with the selection of nominees, both at the beginning and end of the contest.
Guarino said HSP received a list of about 15 nominees from the Sparks Chamber of Commerce. The chamber's executive director, Len Stevens, recommended in January those non-profits he felt were deserving of remodeling and HSP then narrowed that list down to about eight, following up with an interview of each charity.
"I think people appreciate that we're trying to do something in spite of the economy," Guarino said. "We look at the ones nominated and they're certainly affected. Charities do a lot of good things for the community."
The painting company collected brief blurbs from each nominee about why they felt they would be a good candidate for the services – that is, if they're interested.
"Sometimes they tell us they don't need it and would rather it go to someone else," Guarino said. "They're all amicable."
Morgan said the Children's Cabinet's staff of 25 are dedicated to helping local youth from ages 8 to 21 with a focus on high school teens and called its drop-in center their home away from home.
"They can come in and hang out and we do have organized activities," Morgan said. "We have team-building stuff with youth, leadership activities, computer access if they want to do homework or job searches. We do job training skills with them and bring in guest speakers to talk with kids on issues."
The center's growth is likely attributable to current economic conditions in which kids need less expensive means of socializing, Morgan said, but Sparks' and Reno's growth brings in more kids as well.
"We're having to provide more with less," he said.
The needs vary among the non-profits, but essentially the contest prize provides for a common purpose: to provide a more welcoming, clean look for potential donors, protect the architecture and save the organization from spending additional money later as a result of aging exteriors.
According to Guarino, Reno's Washoe Arc, last year's winner, needed new paint not just for aesthetics, but to keep the facilities in good health.
"The outside of the building hadn't been painted in 20 years," Guarino said. "The painting's not just for cosmetics, but it helps protect surfaces."
While painting is HSP's specialty, it will also assist with minor drywall or carpeting after an inspection of the facilities. Employees contribute time and their skills to helping in whatever capacity they can. Nearly 50 employees helped with Washoe Arc with about 10 sprayers, Guarino said.
"Construction is a large industry in Nevada," Guarino said. "We've all made our living doing that and we still wanted to give back."
According to a statement from Northern Nevada HOPES, the $10,000 would be useful in a fresh coat of paint for the walls in a dated building to maintain a clean and sterile environment.
"Since this is the first point of contact for new clients and our existing 800-plus clients, we would like it to be more professional in its appearance," the statement said. "Clients are already dealing with the fear of HIV/AIDS along with the stigma that goes with it. A professional, sterile, clinical environment helps put them at ease."
Guarino said the makeover is a tradition the company plans to continue in the future.
"This is the second time we've done this and we didn't have any doubt we were going to do this," he said. "Everyone feels like they're giving back."
To vote for one of the four charities, go online to www.hsppainting.com/vote. Polls close on May 25. At an HSP Charity Alliance event on May 27, the charity with the most support will be awarded the $10,000 makeover. The remodeling work then begins in the fall, Guarino said.

LegUp LandinGear - Like Nothing You Have Seen Before
This may be the most unique accessory you have ever seen for your Touring Bike. Imagine the ability to steady your bike as you come to a stop, have it held upright at a light or stop sign with your feet on the pegs (you really should put them down, but you don't have to!!), then have the support automatically retract as you accelerate !!
The Patented LegUp™ system was created for those who for whatever reason are concerned about, or unable to hold up these 850 lb monsters as they come to a stop. New riders, bad knees, bad hips, bad passengers (couldn't resist!), or any other reason someone might want a little help keeping the rubber side down... This will do it!
The system was originally designed for 1998 thru 2008 Harley touring bikes. Recently it has been adapted to the new 2009 and 2010 Harleys. Now GL1800 & GL1500 Gold Wings, Harley Dynas & Softails, Yamaha Stratoliners/Roadliners & Triumph Rocket IIIs & others are available as well. If you own an 87 or later Harley, see the NEWS tab above to learn how you can install LegUp™ on Your bikes!
This PATENTED, computerized system is centered around an electric linear actuator, that lowers, at the touch of a button, legs with wheels and a spring mechanism. This system will only allow the wheels to lower under 10MPH, and will balance the bike completely on level terrain. You still put your feet down, but LegUp™ makes it feel much lighter and is always there to help! The onboard computer senses speed and wheel position and upon acceleration, if the operator does not retract the wheels, LegUp™ will raise them automatically. Semi-automatic deployment (lowering) of the wheels is also supported! With the wheels down, you can lean your bike a bit each way (about half as much as with the wheels retracted!), which lets you adjust for uneven terrain, and make turns at slow speed with some help!
The wheels tuck neatly under the bags when not deployed, allowing the bike to be leaned and handle exactly as it always has. Can't do that with a trike or other hokey outrigger systems. The installation Requires no cutting or modifications to the existing bike at all !!
Since releasing this product to the public in May of 2009, hundreds of riders from around the world have enjoyed the assistance LegUp™ is able to provide. Please understand that LegUp™ is just that; an assistant to help you balance these big bikes as you start, stop and maneuver them slowly! LegUp™ is not a Trike system, but for many can give them the benefits they would need from a trike, and still allow them to ride their bikes as they always have!
The system costs $2,999 for Harley Touring Bikes and $3,499 for Gold Wing's and some other bikes (see our SAVE $50 Page for specifics), and we will install it on your Harley for $400 or your Gold Wing for $600. A 'LITE' Version (click here to learn more), with a less sophisticated control system is available for all models for $500 less! Any of our systems can also be installed by a qualified shop.

Cicero Discovery
Desktop Analytics for Process Improvement and Cost Reduction
Cicero Discovery is a lightweight and configurable tool to collect activity and application performance data and track business objects across time and across multiple users as well as measure against a defined "expected" business process flow, either for analysis or to feed a third party application. Cicero Discovery helps customers identify what is actually happening to an object through its life cycle and identify optimal business process and/or critical steps that are missing or holding up the process.
Using Cicero Discovery, you can:
- Identify inconsistent workflow or missing steps in a given process
- Flag times when employees do not follow PCI or HIPAA rules such as turning off call recording, entering confidential data
- Distinguish the differences between top and bottom performers
- Pinpoint repetitive and manual tasks
- Capture where copying happens and how often across applications and screens
- Identify if employees are navigating several screens (clicking, Alt+Tab) to complete tasks
- Capture, analyze, and focus on Key Performance Indicators and metrics
- Monitor for potential business rule, compliance, and company policy issues
- Supply desktop activity data to third-party enterprise analysis and reporting applications (e.g., BI, BAM, BPM, WFM)
- Improve application usage and better focus/leverage IT investments
- Define an "anticipated" sequence for a process and report the events as they happen regardless of order. It may turn out that a process with ten defined steps is executed in the real world as 2, 1, 5, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10 with steps 6 and 9 never happening. Or it may be 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3, 6, 7, 10.
- See the step(s) an object such as an auto claim has been through in any or all processes and also what the latest step was. The business can immediately see who touched the object, when, on what machine, with what application(s), and what was done.

I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Fairly decent amount of paid holidays (25). All of the perks that come with travelling (per diem, miles/points, etc) help make those vacations essentially free.
Very good people to work with and for. You are given opportunities to stretch yourself.
Benefits are ok - ESPP allows you to purchase stock at 15% discount, 401(k) match up to 6% at $0.50 per dollar.
Cons – Pay is competitive once you join, but you will quickly see your raises/bonuses align with everyone else at your level.
Pierre (CEO) is focused on cost cutting, making what few "perks" we had non-existent. Policy is to use the corporate card, but if you want the points, you have to pay the $75 annual fee now. On the plus side, this helps with bottom line and creating shareholder value.
You can get screwed in annual review if you join a project at the wrong time. No paid overtime, even though you will be working OT more often than not.
Advice to Senior Management – Let top performers branch out a bit and try different functions/areas/industries. More than likely, if someone can excel at one task, they can excel at something else.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with a crash that killed a mother and three of her four children on Roosevelt Boulevard.
Ahmen Holloman, 30, and Khusen Akhmedov, 23, were arrested on Wednesday.
Akhmedov and Holloman are charged with four counts of homicide by vehicle, third-degree murder, and involuntary manslaughter.
They are also charged with five counts of recklessly endangering another person, one count of aggravated assault, simple assault, and aggravated assault by vehicle.
Investigators say the two men were street racing late Tuesday night when Akhmedov hit the family.
Samara Selina Banks and her sons were crossing the street at Second Avenue in Feltonville. Banks, 28, and her 23-month-old son were pronounced on the scene. Her other son, 9-month-old Saamir Williams, was pronounced at Albert Einstein Hospital. Another son who was 4-years-old was transported to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children and pronounced dead Wednesday morning. Her fourth son, a 5-year-old, remains at Einstein with bumps and bruises.
Both drivers stopped at the scene, police said.
Also helping the investigation were the witnesses who saw what happened leading up to the wreck and stopped to render first aid and provide statements afterward.
"There were 9 people – I've got to commend all of the witnesses and civilians that stopped and helped the police, who gave us statements to substantiate the fact that they were drag racing and speeding that led to this crash," Capt. John Wilczynski, of the police department's Accident Investigation Division.
Police also said Akhmedov was out on bail in an ambulance fraud case, and he has eight prior tickets for speeding and red light violations. His license had been previously suspended but was restored in 2011.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Hi there,
I played EVE online a few years ago, now I'd like to come back to check out all the new stuff I missed. As I'm not sure I'll have enough time in the following months I won't re-activate my old account yet and create a small trial.
Of course, if I could get invited in the RPS corp, that would be a real treat. I've been playing with the GW2 RPS guild and I really liked the mood, maybe I'll get the chance of experiencing it again in EVE !

Yes, I hath returned. Let the bells ring out for christmas. Or something, I'm no good at this stuff.
Interested in joining us? Want to meet new and interesting space types, and shoot them in the face? Join the channel 'RPS Community' in game. Don't be shy, we're all a bunch of really friendly dudes. The corp has existed for years purely to get new players into PVP, that's still what we're all about.

Sweatypitts covered just about everything in his wonderful post (it has bullet points and everything!) so I'm just going to shamelessly plagiarise him.
14-day free trials are available here: http://tinyurl.com/bk5olrv
For the more adventurous, 21-day free trials(+shiny goodies/in-game cash if you subscribe afterwards) are also available, just send me a pm for a buddy invite.
Our eve chat channel is 'RPS Community', come say hello.
When's a good time to visit RPS Community? I've been on a couple of nights this week but no sign of anyone from RPSH.

Hello! I've decided to give Eve another try and I'm into the atmosphere of the RPS planetside 2 outfit so I thought this might be cool too.
I'll do the tutorial whatsits and sisters of eve thing as suggested to get myself reacquainted, but I was wondering if I should be choosing a particular race or whatever? does this matter? I dont want to be all like I'm a Gillet dude because I like the look of their ships and then it turns out I needed to be a calamari or whatever?
This might be a stupid question but I dont see mention of it anywhere, advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers, J.
race doesnt matter, so choose whichever ships/race look the coolest to you. and youll be able to cross-train to another race's ships anyway

I'm contemplating starting with EVE but I'm not sure whether I'll always have the time to play it regularly. As such €15/month seems a bit steep when there's the chance I won't be able to play during some weeks.
Anyhow, two questions regarding subscriptions:
- If you buy a 30-day subscription does it immediately start or not until you activate it?
- 30 days, does that mean 30 days from the day you activated it, or 30 days on which you login and play?
In my experience it's 30 days from the point at which you hand over the money.
However, because of the way the game mechanics work, it's not going to be wasted time - training is done on a time basis rather than repetition of an activity (rather than in WoW say where you grind skills up by repeatedly making belts or whatever). So you can log in when you're able, or hop in to queue up training for a few minutes, and then play more when you're able to.
I'm still a big newb as far as playing the game but I'm not spending a huge amount of time in-game at the moment, but I am developing a lot of skills and selling items on the Marketplace in the downtime - which means I can log in, queue stuff up, do a mission or two and then log off again.

So I take it RPS Holdings is no more?
I just re-activated a very old character, which despite being grey is a total (ok, maybe not total, but anyways) noob and could really use some assistance stepping over the threshold. Are there RPSers hanging out anywhere else? Any tips on other corps that might be looking for a part-timer with about 1M unassigned skill-points?
RPS Community' allways has some people online. It is not exactly buzzing with activity but certainly a good place to ask some questions and/or find a corporate home, i would assume.
You could also add me and/or evemail or convo me and i shall answer any questions i can. Be warned though, it is my strong opinion that everybody can and should live and prosper in lowsec, no matter the amount of skill points or expertise and my suggestions might be colored by that.
Also worth noting, PLEX are not as expenive as one might think or as they look for a new player. After a few months and if you are actively playing the game, it is quite easy to play for free.
But by 30 days it means 30 days and not 30 days you actually play. If you have 30 days of gae time but do not play for 20, then you will sadly only have 10 left.
But even if you are not playing a whole lot, as sketchseven mentioned, you train skills wether you play or not, as long as you are subscribed. So even if you do not play a lot for a week or two, as long as you remember to queue some new skills every other day (you can queue up skills with the last one of them STARTING no more than 24 hours in the future), you will return stronger than you left.

Check the thread if you look for someone to play with.
And in case you do not yet play but want to give it a shot (beeing free and all that) i would be gracious if you would consider my referal link.

TLDR: newbros should continue to hang out in "RPS Community" chat, the corp is open for applications but don't expect much.
Old timer RPSH member with an update:
I am an old timer who signed on with RPS Holdings inside its first week of operation. I resubbed about two months ago and while many of the RPSH bittervets advised me to move on I am a stubborn man. To this end I have re-enlisted RPSH into Faction Warfare for the Minmatar. I plan on doing streamed roams at minimum every Wednesday evening (2100 CET) (I did one last week: http://www.twitch.tv/ifbar/c/2265557 ).
If you are a bittervet: I am not good, I am mostly screwing around in PVP trying to get my sealegs as it were.
If you are a newbro: I am not good, but I can probably provide basic advice. Sign up for the RPS Community channel or chat when I'm streaming. If you are interested in signing up for the corp I can take applications: please include a link to your RPS forum profile. I may followup asking for an API key for additional account verifcation. I haven't decided how try-hard I am going to be in this regard.
As for what you should have done before you join, SweatyPitts said it quite well:
What do we require from our new meatshields?:
- Working microphone - we use clients like Mumble or TeamSpeak to communicate with each other
- Finish the Sisters of EVE arc - The need to finish the Sisters of Eve arc is that it helps you understanding some very basic things like basic navigation and UI, if you have any questions about this contact us in "RPS Community"
- You need to understand that this is primarily a corp dedicated to getting new dudes into PVP as fast as possible, so if you have no interest in PVP, don't apply. In that case, feel free to hang out with us in the RPS Community channel; we have many friends and we like to keep it that way!
SweatyPitts post had some 'things we offer' points which I need to replace with the following:
- I barely know what I'm doing
- I am getting pretty plastered during the latter half of my Wednesday roams
If this (understandably) is of little interest to you I can point you in the directions that many RPSH alumni wandered off in.

To pick-up around where Meds leaves off insofar as what some of the old-guard are doing:
There are quite a few old members of RPSH/Lollis/Gunshi/Etc... still around. And infact we're still PvP'ing and generally being bads together in a new corp. If you're interested in PvP'ing in low and null-sec just hang around the RPS Community channel in-game and pipe-up in channel and ask around what people are doing when and where.
Whilst those of us PvPing still are mostly quite experienced, we're open to new recruits and can teach you the ways of badsquad. Honestly, you won't be as bad as me as long as you don't log in drunk, get emo on comms and lose 60million isk ships because you can see 3 UIs and none of them will stay still! No-one cares if you do any of these, but all three combined in one night is probably bad form :-/
We're pretty active although mainly in EUTZ at the moment.
I'm not posting corp details here so as to try and avoid the bad juju associated with this thread, but as said - ask around in RPS Community channel and you'll find us.

Hello chaps. I'm an old Eve hand - played from the beta for about three years. Mostly PvE stuff though, so no PvP pewpew experience to speak of. Quit ages ago and had an urge to get back in to the game, so here I am. Got some ISK, got some ships, got some skills and am currently moving my stuff to Stacmon. Sent you an application earlier today, so if you want me, let me know!

Cargill: Don't Push Orangutans to Extinction
Rainforests that are home to endangered orangutans are being cut down to plant palm oil. Roughly half of packaged foods sold in the grocery store now contain palm oil.
Cargill—the largest importer of palm oil into the United States—does not have standards that prevent controversial palm oil from being used in the products you and I buy every time we visit the supermarket.
Please join us in telling Cargill CEO Gregory Page that you don't want rainforest destruction in your shopping cart. Without our help orangutans are at serious risk of going extinct.
