The ICO is open (until 19 December) Sustainable Investment Line ( www.icodirecto.es ) directed self-employed, businesses and public entities for investment in productive sectors and sustainable investing activities: “All those that include new processes production, new products and / or services and / or new management or business systems which enhance the efficient use of resources and / or reduced environmental impacts.

Investments can be used for energy efficiency, eco-innovation, treatment and integrated waste management, water management, sustainable mobility, rehabilitation of housing and neighborhoods and rural areas, knowledge and innovation on climate change, sustainable construction and agri-food quality between others.

SAVINGS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

In general, opportunities for self-employed in renewable energy focus on projects that promote both saving and energy efficiency of products, services and / or existing processes or ways of doing things, always with an eye toward better use of different types of energy.

“More than developing renewable energy projects, which often require heavy investment and infrastructure, the apparatus must design new systems or improve existing devices and get a more efficient use and distribution of any energy, either geothermal, solar, wind , hydro, etc. “says Rafael de la Fuente, founder of Ambisat, environmental engineering.

As an example, “a self is to invest in a large wind project, but to participate in one to study how to improve the efficiency of a windmill that will transform as much wind power,” says De Source.

Electricity self-consumption

Distributed generation or power consumption are also an opportunity. “For example, installers of solar energy or heat for all types of facilities. Microeólica also developing integrated housing. Or the geothermal field for air conditioning in new homes, “proposes Pepa Mosquera, an expert in renewable energy.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Related businesses also offer solutions in waste management. “For example, more efficient management of sewage sludge,” says De la Fuente. “Or how to reuse the waste we generate, for example, some pig farms produce their own electricity with waste,” said Mosquera.

ECO-EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION
“The new construction model also offers opportunities, not only in the energy rehabilitation of old buildings but new construction,” says Sonia Castaneda, director of the Biodiversity Foundation Empleaverde.

Put your hand means that you review the contract, which must be clearly stated the obligations of the franchisee and franchisor, advises Casabó Manel, scientific advisor Franchise School (an institution of the Spanish Association of Franchises and Toulouse Business School).

Industrial Property Law provides legal security between the parties and regulates these businesses in Mexico.

In Article 142 stipulates that 30 days before the contract is necessary to present information concerning the status of the company who want to buy a franchise. If there is no truth in this information, the franchisee has the right to cancel the contract and demand payment of damages caused by the breach.

Another safety feature is the Seal of Quality established by the UNAM, the AMF and Calmecac (Quality Certified Mexican) that gives credibility and confidence in business and potential investors.

Who will get the franchise, proposes Enrique Alcazar, you should review the financial and legal, if not experienced, it is necessary to receive advice.

The Industrial Property Act 2010, states that “there will be franchise when the license of a mark granted in writing, transmitted or expertise to provide technical assistance to the person who is granted to produce or sell goods or provide services uniformly and operational methods, marketing and management established by the owner of the brand, aimed at maintaining the quality, prestige and image of the products or services that distinguishes it.”

Start a new business is an adventure. There are countless courses and books that teach you how to start a business from scratch, however, many entrepreneurs face many “surprises” once you have started your own business and do not know how to react or simply take longer to react, consequently their businesses close. So what should you expect when you start a new business?

1. You will be involved in everything that has to do with your business. Never mind that hire staff to perform functions that you do not know well such as accounting, you must be prepared enough to know if what others are doing for your business is right or wrong. Please check that the quality is met in all respects.

2. will have little time to do other things that related to your business. If you want your business to succeed, you must give your time and start your business in need of a long, long time. This means that you program yourself and prepare to give your business more time than you think.

3. There will be no money in the beginning. At first you’ll have to have enough “back” financially to keep your business for a long period in which you will not see any return on investment. This time depends on your type of business and your market, but be sure that at first will not win anything can you sustain your business while generating no profits?

4. You must accept criticism and disincentives for others. Let’s face it, as your business does not generate good results, people will tell you to return to the security of a job, you’re crazy to go off to do a business that does not give you money, you do not have sufficient capacity, etc. Do not be persuaded by these arguments, you know what you’re worth and what you’re doing is building your own future, as you want. Be prepared to be strong and self motivate.

The following are some deals that we consider to be the business of the future, that is, business will be profitable in the near future taking into account the trends that are occurring now.

Renewable energy
Due to environmental problems such as global warming, more and more interest in the care of the environment and thus, a greater interest in finding ways to prevent contamination.

One form is replacing the use of conventional energy sources that pollute the environment such as oil or natural gas, renewable energies such as solar or wind in addition to not pollute the environment are endless.

Reduce the risk of “turnover” renewed sense of belonging
It is not true that the skills shortage, in fact, we already need. Re-motivate the remaining employees demoralized the company, will be critical to re-establish confidence.
For businesses, transparent communication and strong leadership will be more important than ever now that the business continues and people consider their opportunities. If morale is low and employees feel toward the uncertain future, it becomes necessary to renew the sense of belonging. Managing the journey towards change, or within a different context, will not be a walk. There is no recipe for canned pass through a change: there is however the ability to accept and follow a different situation, and people trained to do so. How? For example:

• describing the organization’s current vision and future assumptions
• paying attention to “corporate travel” and also “travelers” that includes not only business but also what benefits the people
• using the resources of change for the people, alongside variations technical and commercial, such as training, incentives, role definition, leadership development programs, and more.
