'"FINANCIAL PLANNING'
BUSINESS FAILURES
About 90% of all new businesses will fail within the first five
years of operation. A large percentage of going businesses ac
quired by new owners also fail.
There are several mistakes made in acquiring and starting new
businesses which are common to many business failures.
Don't be too eager to get into business. Take time to investigate
the shortcomings of a particular business. Many people starting
business, especially first timers, have stars in their eyes and
fail to heed the danger signals.
Use your accountant, your lawyer, your insurance agent, and
your banker as sounding boards. These people handle numerous
business transactions and can red flag* problem areas for you.
By far the most common causes for business failures are:
1. Starting a business for which there is not adequate market.
For example, if it takes a customer population of 25,000 to
siipport a bicycle shop, it's not likely that one will succeed
in a community of 5,000 people.
2. A bad location for your business within the community. It's
'difficult for a supper club, for example, to survive in an
industrial area.
3. Starting a business with too little capital. Most bankers are
interested in loaning money to businesses which don't
own at least 25% of their assets.
4. Paying too much money for a going business. Don't purchase
a business until your accountant has analyzed the financial,
records to determine profitability and cash flow requirements.
Since the mortality rate of businesses is so high, take time
to investigate the problem areas before you start.

Chowan Hospital updates intensive and
w'y '.'zTj y y- * ' -*
progressive care units with monitoring system
Cardiac patient* in the intensive
care unit at Chowan Hospital will
benefit from a new patient
monitoring system that lets medical
professional examine the patterns of
a patient's heart beat.
The new monitoring equipment
includes an arrhythmia detection
system and biotelemetry equipment.
"Arrhythmias are irregular
heartbeats. They sometimes can
signify the beginnings of more
serious cardiac events," explained
Cindy Coker, head nurse of Chowan
Hospital's intensive care and
progressive care units.
Coker explained the monitoring
system "will let us have a more
thorough assessment of a patient's
cardiac condition. The patient
information is transmitted from the
patient's bedside back to the central
nursing station. Alarms at the
nursing station are automatically
triggered if a serious condition is
detected," she said.
Chowan Hospital's new monitoring
equipment is compatible with its
existing system, purchased several
years ago, according to Judy Peele,
Director of Nursing. In addition to
arrhythmia detection systems, the
hospital also added new telemetry
equipment to the list of electronic
monitoring systems used to keep
watch on its patients.
Telemetry systems allow nurses
and physicians to monitor cardiac
patients remotely. The telemetry
system is about the size of a pack of
cigarettes. The telemetry unit sends
a patient's cardiac signals back to
the nursing station using radio
? signals.
The telemetry system is carried by
the patient and can be used to
observe the patient's cardiac
rhythm.

Last week's ad for WHITE'S
DRESS SHOPPE incorrectly showed
a select group of Spring blouses
and dresses V% off. The ad should
have read: Select Group Of Spring

Only female mosquitoes bite.
"We now have the capabilities to
monitor six patients using
telemetry," Coker said.
The head nurse said the new
equipment was purchased as a result
of requests from the hospital's
physicians and nursing staff. "It will
help us to provide better patient care '
in the years to come," Coker
reported.
