Your car
Posted on September 7th, 2010
A car is more than just a luxury these days, it has already become a necessity, especially for the entrepreneur. For one, it makes a good representation and image projection. That is why we sometimes see cars with chrome rims, bright colors and elegantly styled interiors. The entrepreneur knows that his car also speaks for himself, gives his prospective clients a good impression of him sometimes.
Although representation and good image projection is one justification for getting a car, it cannot be denied that it is indeed a necessity these days when it comes to doing business.
One is when you need to attend meetings, conferences, sales calls or clients presentation, it would be of utmost importance that you come on time, if not earlier. Riding public transport can sometimes ruin your schedules, because drivers would sometimes take their time in picking up passengers. And you can’t blame them really, because they too are trying to earn as much.
Having your own car, you are more in control of your time. The only concern that you would have is the traffic jam, which by leaving early and planning alternate routes, can be avoided easily.
I am speaking here of buying a car, and using it in your business, that way, the car would be an investment or a capital expenditure and not just another expense on the company’s account. Using it business would at least make the car pay for itself. Otherwise, it could just cause problem to the company’s bottomline.
