Federal and state legislatures. ### What ownership structure is controlled by one or more stockholders? A corporation is the business structure owned and controlled by one or more stockholders, unlike a sole proprietorship, partnership, or franchise. ### What is a salary-plus-commission pay setup called? A pay setup that combines a guaranteed base salary with commission on top is called a guarantee. ### What should you stress on your resume? A resume should stress your actual accomplishments, not salary expectations, personal details, or general comfort with technology. ### What describes your business as it is today and as you foresee it in the next 5 years? A business plan is the document that spells out where a business stands today and where it's headed over the next five years. ### Where must tips be reported? Cash tips are taxable income and have to be reported on your income tax return, not just tracked in a personal log. ### Which of these is actually legal for an employer to ask about in an interview? Drug or tobacco use — medical conditions, disabilities, and age are off-limits topics. ### What's an example of a fair, on-topic interview question an employer might ask? "What do you consider your strongest skills?" ### What guides the actions of an organization? A mission statement guides a business's day-to-day actions and decisions. A vision statement instead covers the long-term future picture. ### What's the least expensive way of owning your own business? Renting a booth is the least expensive way into barbershop ownership compared to buying a franchise, spa, or chain location. ### What is the first goal of every business? Keeping current clients should be a barbershop's first priority, ahead of chasing new business or upselling extra services. ### What should you send after a job interview wraps up? A thank-you note. ### What's it called when you're paid solely a percentage of gross sales? That's commission — pay tied directly to a percentage of sales generated, with no guaranteed base salary. ### What's it called when you fail to pay back a loan? Defaulting. ## Practice more Business questions These are a sample.
