We also require them to give us a copy of all lisc and insurance information.We also realize that we live and die by having good vendors, we hold vendor appreciation parties when they all come to our office and we provide food and drinks and thank them for the hard and great work they have done. 

It costs like $20 per session to cover the room/food/etc.

I own a very large food processing company, we are currently renting out kitchen space in an ideal facility.

Definitely food for thought, we have a slightly different rent spread into the 3 bedroom from 2 bedroom.  

I by no means had it rough but it was not easy. having my mom explain why she could not buy me a toy because she needed to buy food for us was not a great memory.

The food/arts/entertainment has also exploded over the past 5 years!  

Overall I'm pretty confident that the deal is good but I could use some outside opinions just as food for thought.

In the past I have written off a per diem expense for both lodging and food when my husband ( the single owner of an llc) travels from Florida to Michigan to work on our business.

@Lesley Resnickthanks for your opinion, I'd like to respectfully point out a couple things...and please understand I'm not arguing for inflation/deflation, only offering food for thought.  1.

Just food for thought.
