Business Loans - 7 Reasons Not to Use a Bank

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Rick_Hendershot]Rick Hendershot So you’re a small business owner and you need a business loan to further the objectives of your company. Where do you turn? When it comes to a business loan or commercial real estate loan, there are many good reasons NOT to turn to a traditional bank. Here are some of the most important. Many small business owners, will find most of these points directly applicable to them. “The bank turned me down” Of course the biggest reason most small businesses go looking for alternative sources of commercial real estate loans is because they have been declined by the banks. Small businesses are often forced to look for other sources of funding because the banks will not provide it. This is not even listed below, since there are many positive reasons to prefer non-bank funding, even if you can get approval from a bank. Reason 1 - The minimum loan amount available from banks is too high In many cases banks will not offer a commercial real estate loan for less than $250,000. So if you only need $100,000 you will be pushed to borrow more than you actually need. Or if your property will not support a $250,000 loan you are out of luck with the banks. The solution is to look for an alternative funding source that can provide a lower minimum amount. Some commercial financing services will go as low as $100,000, and will often give you better terms and much better service than the traditional banks. Reason 2 - Many traditional banks will charge you an up-front “commitment fee” just to examine and process your application Banks usually think they are doing you a favor by processing your application, so they will often make you pay for their attempts to win your business. The solution is to find other established and credible lenders who are eager to offer you better service without charging you a fee for processing your application. Reason 3 - Most traditional banks will severely limit the amount of cash you can get from a commercial real estate loan. Banks usually have very narrow rules about where you can use the cash derived from a commercial real estate loan. If you need a cash injection for your business, or want to use the proceeds from a commercial mortgage as a down payment for another property, most banks will not be interested in that type of loan. Look for a lender who does not restrict your use of the cash derived from commercial real estate loans. Some services, such as AEX Commercial Financing Group, LLC can provide [http://www.aexllc.com]commercial loans that give you up to $1 million in cash to use however you want. Reason 4 - Most traditional banks require detailed business plans before approving a commercial real estate loan Many small businesses have business plans, but they are usually not sufficiently detailed to satisfy the banks. As a result, applying for a commercial real estate loan from a bank can turn into a very time consuming and expensive process. Creating the type of business plan that is adequate for the banks will usually cost thousands of dollars. Find a lender who does not require business plans as part of their underwriting process for a commercial loan. Reason 5 - Many traditional banks require tax returns for a commercial real estate loan If you are either unable or unwilling to provide tax returns for your business, many banks will not give you a commercial real estate loan. Even some of those banks that do not request tax returns will ask borrowers to sign IRS Form 4506, which authorizes the lender to obtain tax returns directly from the IRS. When looking for alternative sources of funding make sure they do not require either of these conditions (tax returns or access to your IRS records). Reason 6 - Most banks will require cross collateralization of personal property Even though there is sufficient collateral in your business property to secure a commercial real estate loan, many banks will require you to provide additional security by putting up personal assets. Business people have become so used to banks doing this that they just assume it is a necessity. But the truth is, over-collateralization like this can restrict your personal freedom to dispose of your personal assets as you see fit. And fortunately, there are non-traditional lenders who do not require cross collateralization at all. Reason 7 - Most banks require income verification Many small business people and self-employed borrowers have incomes that are erratic and difficult to document. There are many legitimate reasons for this, but traditional banks generally do not care. Very few of them will provide commercial real estate loans without complete income verification. An alternative used by some non-traditional lending sources is to use the “Stated Income” approach. Look for a lender who uses the Stated Income approach and does not require income verification.

Career Advice for Women: Girls - Flirt Your Way to the Top!

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Hannah McNamara We’ve all heard about the ‘casting couch’ and most of us wouldn’t go as far as sleeping our way to the top, but is there really any harm in fluttering a few eyelashes and the odd provocative comment to get ourselves noticed at work? Well, as viewers of tonight’s opening episode of the new UK series of The Apprentice will find out, you can actually end up doing yourself more harm than good. Women have battled with sexism in the workplace for long enough, without encouraging sexual attention at work. Apart from annoying other people and alienating your female colleagues, you can find yourself passed over for promotion simply because male bosses don’t want to be perceived as giving you any ’special favours’. So what can you do?Keep conversations at work on a strictly business level and keep conversations about extra-curricular activities clean!Don’t get drawn into office banter that has sexual undertones (it’s better to be thought a prude than the opposite)When dressing for work, think stylish rather than sexyLeave the short skirts, tight tops and high heels to the weekend Yes, you may have worked hard to get the figure you have and may strongly believe in Girl Power, but surely it’s better to get ahead based on your merits than how you look or who you flirt with.

How to Use Marketing Judo to Beat Big Competitors

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By Douglas Hanna If yours is a small business and you have big or even huge competitors, you may be laying awake at night wondering how can you possibly beat them. You can’t out-advertise them, or out-promote them, and you probably won’t be able beat to its prices. For example, think about a small business whose biggest competitor is Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon.com or some other huge retailer. Is there any way to compete successfully against these Goliaths? My answer is to use marketing judo. As you may know judo was developed many hundreds of years ago as a means of self-defense. But did you know that much of judo is based on the concept of using the opponent’s strengths against him? One example of this is when the attacker pushes against an opponent. The opponent simply steps aside and (usually with the aid of a foot), uses the opponent’s own momentum to throw him forward. The lesson for the smart marketer is to first analyze the competitions strengths and then develop strategies that will turn these strengths into points of attack. But first, let’s talk about strategies. Many small businesses think that strategic planning consists of developing an overall strategy (or set of strategies) and sticking to these strategies for the entire length of the marketing plan be it six months, a year or even longer. In truth, your strategies should be designed to meet existing conditions and then changed whenever conditions change or you discover new competitive weaknesses. How does all this work in practice? Let’s get back to the Wal-mart example. You will never beat Wal-mart in head-on competition. Let’s look at some of Wal-mart’s strengths: It offers a huge variety of merchandise everything from women’s apparel to household electrics, and flat panel TVs to fine jewelry. It has large stores (in some cases, super stores) almost everywhere. It has a very sophisticated system for purchasing products and controlling inventory. So how can we use marketing judo to turn these strengths against the giant retailer? First, because Wal-mart offers a huge variety of merchandise, its inventory may be wide but it generally isn’t very deep. Back in Nebraska we used to describe the Platte River as a mile wide and an inch deep. You could almost describe Wal-marts inventory the same way. Go into a Wal-mart store and check, for example, the depth of its inventory of computer products or golf equipment. . Chances are, you’ll find only a few dozen computer products, and even fewer golf-related items. So the smart marketer uses marketing judo to turn Wal-mart’s breadth of inventory into a weakness by picking a niche and then beating Wal-mart with depth of inventory. For example, a computer store could promote itself as having more software titles or a wider variety of peripherals than any super store in the area. Now, let’s consider the second point. Wal-mart has large stores almost everywhere. How does marketing judo turn this into a weak point? Wal-mart’s sheer size translates into some real advantages, especially in the area of volume buying which is why it can sell so cheap. But Wal-mart’s huge size makes it difficult for the company to implement change quickly. I once read that when the captain of a nuclear aircraft carrier issues the command to turn 60 degrees starboard, it takes about five miles before the ship actually begins to turn. I suspect the same thing is true of Wal-mart. In comparison, a small business should be able to just about turn on a dime or in just a few weeks. Let’s take technology as an example. Right now, one of the hottest merchandise categories in America is accessories for Apple’s iPod. If you have a small electronics business either online or brick-and-mortar you should be able to track down the distributors of these products and have them in you store in a few weeks or less. On the other hand, Wal-mart, with its size and labyrinth of buyers and buying regulations, it might take months to get the same products on its shelves. Finally, Wal-mart might have hundreds of more employees, but its employees are usually not well trained in specific product features and benefits. Again, take golf as an example. Walk into a Wal-mart store, go to sporting goods and say to the nearest employee, Hi, I’m a 18 handicap golfer with a tendency to slice my drives. What would you suggest? Well, my guess is that what you’ll get in return is a blank stare. This represents another opportunity for marketing judo. Keep your number of employees small but make sure they are super-trained to understand your customers and your products’ features and benefits. As Sun Tzu points out in his classic treatise The Art of War, “You may advance and be absolutely irresistible, if you make for the enemy’s weak points; you may retire and be safe from pursuit if your movements are more rapid than those of your enemy.” Do you play golf? If you do and you’d like to reduce your handicap — and have a great vacation — all at the same time, you just can’t beat North or South Carolina.

The Role Of Cosmetic Skincare In Looking After Your Skin

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

By Rich Hart Welcome to the world of variety. Current markets offer such a vast selection of products; you may have some difficulty weeding through it all. Cosmetics are no exception to the rule. Just take a gander at the local department store. Brands such as Lancome, Clinique, Este Lauder, Guerlain, Clarins, Channel, Dior, Mac, Bobbie Brown, Prescriptives, and several more will only confuse you. Then there is plenty more at the Walgreens down the street. I guess one way you can search for cosmetics skincare products is by price. If you have a price range, this can certainly narrow the spectrum a bit. Do you know what you are searching for? I have watched my wife go through numerous cosmetics and skin care lines over the past 10 years. One thing I can say for certain is just because she like a skin care regimen from one company, does not mean she likes their make-up. Apparently the cosmetics skincare business is a diverse one with plenty of perks and drawbacks. At this point she raves on and on about specific Lancome skin care products like the cleansers and toners, but she uses an eye cream and pore minimizing gel from Clinique. I am flabbergasted at all the products sitting on her vanity. How can she even sort through all of these cosmetics skincare products? And does she have to use every single one of them every day? I do not even bother to ask. Make-up and skin care products are not exactly my cup of tea. One way to simplify your search through the mad jungle of cosmetics skincare lines and make-up is by finding out your skin type and if you are allergic to anything. Furthermore, you may not want to visit the cosmetic counters at all. There are plenty of skin care products and simple make-up brands in the drugstores. As I am sure you already know, they will cost you quite a bit less that the stuff sold by snobby women wearing pounds of flashy make-up. A drugstore brand that comes highly recommended is Neutrogena. Whatever cosmetics skincare products you choose, just be sure their treating your face with the utmost respect, or you are simply wasting your hard earned dough. There are too many to choose from to settle for less than great. Rich Hart lives in Manhattan, New York.

Boost Your Body Image

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By Martin Stanwyck When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? Of course, you see yourself! What Im really asking is Do you like what you see? Sadly, many people answer No! to this question. With millions of people in America suffering from obesity, its easy to understand why so many people are unhappy with their weight. The media bombards us with images of slim, trim men and women. Many of us think that the goal of being thin is such a long way off, we are almost afraid to hope. Face it; many of us have made efforts to attain that slim physique in the past. Its not as easy as the commercials make it out to be. How many times have you tried a new diet product only to be disappointed? Slim Fast, Hydroxycut, Metabolife the list goes on. The last thing you want to hear about is another diet product that promises to make you slim. The good news is that you can achieve that slim figure without dieting. No, Im not talking about a magic diet pill, but I am talking about a revolutionary new concept that delivers results that you may deem magical. Im talking about incorporating a new vegetable into your diet a vegetable that will drastically curb your appetite, causing you to eat much less, finally emerging as a new and improved you! In 1997, a plant was discovered. This plant doesnt look like much. In fact, it resembles an ugly cactus, but it can totally change the way you eat. Consumed by Bushmen for centuries, Hoodia Gordonii is actually a vegetable. These Bushmen would eat it on long journeys as a way to get rid of hunger. When government testing was done on this plant to see if it was toxic, animal testing showed some startling results. The animals who consumed Hoodia Gordonii actually began to slim down in size. They were losing weight from this product. Further testing isolated a key component of the Hoodia. P57 is a powerful appetite suppressant that tricks the brain into thinking youve eaten, leaving you full and satisfied. No more hunger pains no more overeating Hoodia Gordonii actually cuts your appetite by up to 2,000 calories, making it easy to get that slim appearance youve dreamed of. Whats the catch? There really isnt one. Since Hoodia Gordonii isnt a drug, it doesnt carry the same side effects as many of the so-called diet supplements on the market. You can safely take the pill form every day as you work toward a slim figure. Youll feel great, and as the pounds begin to melt away, your self image will rise. Imagine yourself looking in the mirror to see an attractive, healthy, slim version of yourself. Wouldnt you like to be able to answer the question I first posed with a Yes? When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Yes, I do. You owe it to yourself to find out how Hoodia Gordonii can make it easy and enjoyable to shed your unwanted weight, boost your self image, and emerge a slim, healthy person. Martin Stanwyck is an author of numerous pieces on the topic of weight loss and nutrition. To view his extensive portfolio of work, visit his site http://www.hoodia.info.ms Youll learn more about how Hoodia Gordonii can change the way you look, your health, and your self esteem.
