Over the last few decades receiving information has changed from word of mouth/print to being readily available on the internet. Now that cell phone technology has culminated, the App Revolution rushes full steam ahead. Mobile Apps offer real time menus and special offers, encouraging business to thrive. Another way to keep business affluent is to incorporate a Limited Liability Corporation to protect a company’s assets and to buy insurance such as property and worker’s compensation.
