Learn about the QuickBooks Business Network

Note: QuickBooks Online Accountant users may search the QuickBooks Business Network to find contacts or change network visibility within their clients' QuickBooks Online accounts. However, QuickBooks Online Accountant contact information (that is, the file labeled "Your Books") isn't published in the QuickBooks Business Network, so the search and visibility experience isn't available for this group of QuickBooks customers.

Verify your business contact details

After you send or accept a QuickBooks Business Network invitation, your customer-facing contact information is shown to your customer or vendor. Be sure to update your contact details so that your connections have accurate information about you:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as an admin as a Primary admin or Admin (Company admin).
2. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Account and settings.
3. Select the Company tab.
4. Update the following contact information, if needed:
   • Company name
   • Customer-facing email
   • Company phone
   • Website
   • Customer-facing address
5. Select Save, then Done.

Add contacts in the QuickBooks Business Network

You can search the Business Network and add contacts by selecting New customer or New vendor in QuickBooks Online. Here's how it works:

• Type the name of a business in the Company name field and results from the QuickBooks Business Network appear.
• Select a business from the list and the form populates with the business’ website, city, state, and ZIP code from their customer-facing address. The business’ customer-facing email, phone number, and full address are partially masked until an invitation to connect is sent or accepted.
• You can also manually add contact details for your customer or vendor. However, changing the information in any of the fields with a link  will stop automatic updates from the QuickBooks Business Network if the business later changes their contact details.
• Finish by selecting Save and send request at the bottom of the form. This adds the business to your Customer or Vendor List, and sends the business an email invitation to connect. You can also receive invitations to connect from the QuickBooks Online app on your iOS or Android device.
• If your customer or vendor accepts the invitation, their partially masked business contact details will be unmasked and you’ll be able to send and receive invoices through the network.

Use automation powered by the QuickBooks Business Network

The QuickBooks Business Network also powers the Accounts Payable (AP) automation feature. When you send an invoice to a customer you’re connected to via the QuickBooks Business Network, the invoice is emailed, and also appears automatically in their QuickBooks account as a bill to review and pay. Likewise, you’ll be able to add bills from your vendors automatically once you’re connected.

Learn more about Accounts Payable automation.

Manage your connections and invitations

You can remove a connection or withdraw an invitation at any time. Here’s how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Do one of the following:
   • For vendors: Go to Expenses, then Vendors (Take me there).
   • For customers: Go to Sales, then Customers (Take me there).
3. Select the Business Network icon  or the invitation sent badge .
4. Select Remove, then Remove.

The business remains a saved contact in your Customer or Vendor List. Invoices that are sent or received between you and the saved contact will no longer go through the Business Network.

Manage your QuickBooks Business Network visibility

If you don't want your business searchable in the QuickBooks Business Network, you can change your network visibility. Here’s how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to Settings , then select Account and settings.
3. Select the Advanced tab.
4. Select Business Network, then select Off.
5. Select Save, then Done.

Once you change your visibility to "Off", QuickBooks Online customers won’t be able to find your business if they search the QuickBooks Business Network. However, you can still search the QuickBooks Business Network for your customers and vendors, send invitations to connect, and use the AP Automation feature. Your connections made before turning off your visibility will still have your customer-facing contact information and can use the AP Automation feature to send/receive invoices through the QuickBooks Business Network. However, they will no longer get your updated contact details if you make a change in your account settings.

Keep your data safe and secure

QuickBooks is committed to protecting your privacy. For more information about how we keep your data secure, visit our Privacy and Security Center.

Use of the QuickBooks Business Network for spam, marketing, or other activities which violate applicable Intuit Terms of Service is strictly prohibited.

Mendelow’s Matrix: A Strategic Tool for Stakeholder Analysis

Introduction

In today's competitive business environment, understanding stakeholders' influence and interest is essential for effective strategic decision-making. Mendelow’s Matrix, a widely used stakeholder analysis tool, helps organizations assess and manage their stakeholders based on two key factors: power and interest. By using this framework, businesses can prioritize stakeholder engagement and allocate resources efficiently.

Understanding Mendelow’s Matrix

Mendelow’s Matrix is a four-quadrant model that categorizes stakeholders based on their level of power (ability to influence decisions) and interest (concern with the organization’s actions). This helps businesses determine the appropriate engagement strategy for each stakeholder group.

The Four Quadrants of Mendelow’s Matrix

1. High Power, High Interest (Key Players)

   • These stakeholders have significant influence and are deeply involved in the organization’s operations.
   • Strategy: Engage them closely and regularly in decision-making to maintain their support.
   • Examples: Investors, major customers, senior executives, regulatory authorities.

2. High Power, Low Interest (Keep Satisfied)

   • They have the power to impact decisions but are less involved in day-to-day operations.
   • Strategy: Keep them informed and satisfied to avoid negative interference.
   • Examples: Government agencies, board members, influential media.

3. Low Power, High Interest (Keep Informed)

   • These stakeholders are highly interested in the business but lack significant power to influence decisions.
   • Strategy: Maintain regular communication to keep them engaged and informed.
   • Examples: Employees, local communities, non-major customers.

4. Low Power, Low Interest (Monitor)

   • These stakeholders have minimal power and limited interest in the organization.
   • Strategy: Monitor them occasionally but do not invest excessive resources in engagement.
   • Examples: General public, minor suppliers.

Why Is Mendelow’s Matrix Important?

• Helps in Stakeholder Prioritization – Organizations can focus their efforts on the most influential stakeholders.
• Enhances Strategic Decision-Making – Ensures that business decisions align with key stakeholders’ expectations.
• Improves Resource Allocation – Helps companies use resources effectively by targeting critical stakeholders.
• Reduces Potential Risks – Identifies possible stakeholder resistance and allows businesses to address concerns proactively.

Real-World Application

Example: A Manufacturing Company Expanding Operations

A manufacturing company planning to expand internationally can use Mendelow’s Matrix to map out its key stakeholders:

• High Power, High Interest: Government regulators and major investors need constant updates to ensure compliance and secure funding.
• High Power, Low Interest: Industry watchdogs and trade unions must be kept satisfied to prevent obstacles.
• Low Power, High Interest: Employees and local communities should be engaged and informed to foster goodwill.
• Low Power, Low Interest: The general public requires minimal attention, but their perception should still be monitored.

By using Mendelow’s Matrix, the company can tailor its communication and engagement strategies to different stakeholders, ensuring a smooth expansion process.

Conclusion

Mendelow’s Matrix is a powerful tool for businesses to manage their stakeholders effectively. By categorizing stakeholders based on their power and interest, organizations can develop targeted engagement strategies, minimize risks, and ensure long-term success. Whether for corporate strategy, project management, or change initiatives, this model remains an essential part of effective stakeholder management.

PwC's "Doing Business in Oman – Tax and Legal Guide" provides a comprehensive overview of the taxation and legal landscape for businesses operating in Oman. The guide serves as an essential resource for investors and companies seeking to understand the regulatory environment in the Sultanate.​

Country Overview

Oman, strategically located in the south-eastern quarter of the Arabian Peninsula, has a population of approximately 4.8 million, with expatriates constituting nearly 46% of the populace. The nation has historically leveraged its strategic location as a trading hub and is now aiming to become a global logistics center. Arabic is the official language, but English is widely used in business contexts. In the World Bank's 'Ease of Doing Business 2020' report, Oman improved its ranking to 68th, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance the business environment. ​

Legal and Regulatory Framework

Oman operates under a civil law system influenced by Islamic Shari’a principles. The primary sources of law include the 1996 Basic Statute of the State and Islamic Shari’a. The Basic Law designates Islam as the state religion and Shari’a as the foundation of legislation, particularly governing family law and inheritance matters. The Commercial Court handles commercial disputes, with judges interpreting agreements to reflect the original intentions of the parties involved.

Establishing a Business

Foreign investors can establish operations in Oman through various structures, including:​

• Limited Liability Company (LLC): This is the most common form, requiring a minimum of two shareholders and a capital contribution as stipulated by law.​

• Joint Stock Company: Suitable for larger investments, this structure can be public or closed, with specific capital requirements and shareholder structures.​

• Branch: Foreign companies can operate through a branch in Oman, subject to obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals.​

Each structure has distinct legal and regulatory requirements, and investors should choose the one that aligns best with their business objectives. ​

Taxation

Oman's taxation system encompasses several key components:

• Corporate Income Tax (CIT): A standard rate of 15% applies to all taxpayers, except for Omani proprietorships and LLCs that qualify as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are taxed at a reduced rate of 3%, provided they meet specific criteria. ​

• Value Added Tax (VAT): Implemented in April 2021, Oman introduced a VAT at a standard rate of 5%, with certain exemptions and zero-rated supplies as specified under the Oman VAT Law. ​

• Withholding Tax (WHT): A 10% WHT is levied on specific payments made to non-residents, including dividends, interest, and royalties. ​

• Customs Duties: A standard customs duty rate of 5% is applied to most goods imported into Oman, with certain goods subject to different rates. ​

Recent Legal Developments

Oman has enacted several laws to diversify its economy and improve the business environment:​

• Foreign Capital Investment Law (FCIL): Introduced to encourage foreign investment by providing a clear framework and incentives for investors. ​

• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Law: Aimed at stimulating efficiency and quality in public services by involving the private sector in executing projects in partnership with the government.

• Privatisation Law: Regulates public projects awarded to private sector companies, facilitating the transfer of certain public sector services and assets to private entities.

• Bankruptcy Law: Provides a legal framework for bankruptcy cases, complementing provisions in the Commercial Companies Law related to dissolution and liquidation. ​

PwC's guide offers an in-depth analysis of these aspects, serving as a valuable resource for businesses and investors considering operations in Oman. For a detailed understanding, readers are encouraged to consult the full guide.
