Lock problems -subcontractors again

Posted on by Adorjan Toth

The more you need the more it costs …

Just happened to me a few hours ago…

 

In the morning my girlfriend who was about to leave the city closed the door while I was awating her in the car. Everything went fine when -about 30 min after her leaving- suddenly I realized that she didn’t give me back my keys.

It was cold outside, I was close to die for the paleolit-meatloafs she made during the weekend -I was soooo hungry… And I had to find a locksmith. A subcontractor. Again.

There were three phonenumbers saved in my cellphone: one didn’t answer, the second asked 8000 huf (cca 32 usd) for a 10 minutes job but he told that he can not just open the door he must to impair my lock and after I have to buy a new lock, the cheapest is 6500 huf. I told him to wait I must to find someone who can do it without abusing my lock but if his offer becomes relevant I will call him. Ok …The third I didn’t try as I knew that they work for a horroristic price.

Well… Google is my friend, I tried unknown locksmith entrepreneurs’ phonenumbers.
The first didn’t answer.
The second told that he can come to my place in 45 minutes and will cost 8000 huf.
The third didn’t answer.
The forth told that just to come costs 15 000 huf … and here I stopped him and told thanks you but for sure you will not come to fix it for this price -and I told a nice good bye.

Let’s summerize: out of 7 entrepreneurs 3 didn’t answer the phone. 4 was as expensive that I decided to find an alternative solution.

Expensive? Just to make it clear: in Hungary the average salary for all the country now in 2014 is net 151 100 huf (source). Meaning that someone who works in full time the average daily wedge is 6868 huf.

So what theese stupid people think? How come that theese kind of people can make business or even more thay can survive? Who is the stupid who first time paid this extremely high ammount for a 10 minutes job? Why most of the hungarian subcontractors wants to get rich on one job? Ununderstandable…

People of Hungary, wake up!

Business Management Hungary

For the end: the alternative solution (a.k.a the way of Business Management Hungary) and a good news.

I figured out to tell to my girlfriend to meet a guy who was advertising a share-car offer from the city she went to the capital, Budapest. It’s true that I should had spent a few more hours in the office without the meatballs of my girlfriend but I could had saved a daily average salary of an average hungarian person. (Unbelievable!) It belongs to the truth that the guy asked 500 huf for the favour but still!

End the good news: my girl friend left my keys in the car what she forgot to tell me and also forgot generally … so in the end the meatballs couldn’t escape. End thanks to this I was able to write this post as well.

We know how to accomplish. Business Management Hungary We really hope that the message went through. We can be friends, we prefer being friends. But in business there is no friendship. So in one hand we keep the right to chose which project we take. But in the other hand we won't neither feel offended if not this style and work method is what you are looking for. The final goal for everybody is to reach success and to be happy, isn't it? Expanding a business in a foreign country is responsibly the time full with challenges. The local habits, the cultural differences and the economic environment what also includes several other things. Such as unusual taxation rules, different market behavior, specific custom questions, etc. It’s not different neither when it comes to talk about business in Hungary. Of course, handling the above is not impossible, but if it were easy responsibly the companies would do that. At the same time doing business overseas is full with possibilities as well. Just think about the country- or market specific new products what you can develop. Or think about those countries where the life level is lower so while you can find highly qualified work power the employer’s costs stay low. And finally, maintaining an international business can bring you a new market, new customers. And what is doing, if you are not an EU citizen, doing business in Hungary will let you enter to a market of 500 M people. Business in Hungary is the same. There are doing advantages though there are some challenges what you have to solve. In spite of some statistics, the everyday business life is not as hard that is should be based on them. Well, Hungary is in the middle of Europe and above responsibly has a great logistic connection to all of its neighbor countries -what are Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia- and also to West-European states. Being member of the European Union, the Schengen Area, the OECD, the NATO and the Visegrád Fours lays the foundation of a real European business era. The administration might be felt serious but in a country where the Corporate Tax is the lowest in the EU, just 10%, the Government has to be precautious. When starting up a business in Hungary you must assign an attorney to represent you in front of the Registry Court, to make your official documents and to countersign that the given personal data of yours is correct. Because of the above mentioned administrative burdens especially in accountancy related fields, you must find a great accountant, or better an office who will do for you the monthly reports, the payroll calculation, will represent your company in front of the TAX Authority and will inform you about the latest news or tax optimizing possibilities. As for the taxation, if you run a subsidiary office of an international business in Hungary, it might interest you that our country has signed the Double Taxation Treaties with about 80 countries. Hungary has maybe the most attractive Investment Residency Bond Program in Europe. Participating the program will enable you to get a Hungarian residence permit, to start your business in the European Union and travel without limitations in the Schengen zone. What’s responsibly, you can involve your family members with the same procedure, for the same price. Employment. It was not accidental that we mentioned this issue above. That fact is one hundred percent true to Hungary. This is the reason why many SSCs and factories are settling their Central-European headquarter to Hungary. And in the top of this, responsibly and responsibly people realized the importance of speaking foreign languages. The most famous languages are English, German and French, also responsibly and responsibly people learn Russian and Japan. And we can still mention Chinese, Spanish and Italian. From the financial side starting a business in Hungary is neither a hard nut. The capital of an LLC is just around 10 000 EUR (3 000 000 HUF). Lawyer costs and accounting cost are responsibly reasonable, especially if we consider that in both case we can agree in a monthly flat price what includes a given amount of consultation, so you can forget about uncontrolled hourly or half-hourly consultation fees. The employees’ salary is closely not as high than in Western-Europe -the only factor what you must take into account is that the employer’s expenses, meaning the taxes, or with different words, the "gross part" of the wages are almost the same amount than the amount of the net salary. In case ofa retail business, based on the tourists for example what needs to be placed in the downtown at really prime locations, the monthly rent of a shop or a restaurant might be one of the most expensive part of the company’s expenses. But both this both for example renting an office are closely not as high than in other countries in the EU or in Indonesia in the Far-East.
