    foreclosures Despite failing economic growth and predictions for lower than average GDP growth in New Zealand, a recent report released by business consultant Grant Thornton illustrated that over two thirds of businesses are optimistic about the future outlook for their performance in 2010. The global survey interviewed more than 7,400 businesses across 36 economies for its annual International Business Report. The results are staggering compared to the same time last year where only 15% of those surveyed in New Zealand were optimistic about the outlook for 2009, compared with 66% for the upcoming year, resulting in New Zealand being rated the seventh most optimistic nation in the world. The turn of confidence is believed to be in part due to many New Zealand businesses, and their owners, scrutinising and streamlining their operations, becoming more cost efficient and effective.

    juegos With commerce confidence growing exponentially and key economic indicators showing signs that the worst of the recession is now past, there has never been a better time to peruse the market for a new business venture. Questions must be asked as to whether to start a business from scratch or to purchase an established business.

    7. I am liable for the repairs to my building, but as it is so old I have been told by the landlord that the only way it can be ‘repaired’ is by pulling it down and starting afresh.

    It depends upon the terms of the repairing obligation, but a normal obligation to repair would not require the complete reconstruction of the premises.

    8. My landlord and I entered into an oral agreement for me to rent his shop. We agreed the rent and that I could stay there for 5 years, but that is all. The premises are now in a poor state of repair and my landlord has informed me that the repairs are my responsibility.
