Anyone who's worked in an office at some point or another has had to go to accounting. They're the people who pay and send out the bills that keep the business running. They do a lot more than that, though. Sometimes referred to as "bean counters" they also keep their eye on profits, costs and losses. Unless you're running your own business and acting as your own accountant, you'd have no way of knowing just how profitable - or not - your business is without some form of accounting.
Top Tips to Get What You Pay For Online
It seems like only a few years ago, when shopping online was akin to the wild, wild West -- limited to use by those with true grit and an adventurous spirit. And, is it any wonder? With so few stores set up to sell their items through the Internet, who among us had the time to waste, when we could just as easily do our shopping at the "brick and mortar" equivalents. This left this new frontier mainly to those in pursuit of those items not readily found in stores at that time, the exotic: Persian rugs, rare books, and other collectibles. Years ago, if you told someone you had no qualms about shopping online, that you willingly provided your credit card information to anonymous customer service reps free floating in cyber space, most figured your credit probably wasn't all that great to begin with.
You may not be familiar with the title of this article, or indeed my writing style - but often they go 'hand-in-hand'.
The Future Of Banking - Bank Online
Chances are your bank is a virtual place. Since the invention of the Internet you can see your balances anywhere, at any time. Most banks think globally and have acted this way by creating secure portals to manage their account holder's information stored in their databases. This information stored usually shows account balances, previous transactions, current balances, interest paid and electronic scans of their checks. Anywhere you can get to a computer, your bank account is right in your hands, usually in real-time.
Boost Your Business with a Commercial Mortgage
Long term commercial finance, in the form of a commercial mortgage, offers many small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) the ability to invest in their business with new technology, new or refurbished premises, or increased stock levels.
In the past, it tended to be only larger organisations with a proven track record who could obtain commercial mortgages. A large number of younger/smaller businesses were unable to obtain this type of commercial finance and, as a result, many businesses have been forced to rely on expensive short term finance or left to use their owners' residential property as security.
Fortunately, this gap in the market is now being targeted by specialist commercial lenders who are willing to serve the commercial mortgage needs of SMEs and owner-managed businesses.
The problem
In the past, it has been difficult for small business borrowers, self-employed traders, and partnerships to raise commercial mortgage finance. This is because:
- Institutional lenders have focused on larger, corporate lending secured on the tenant covenant of investment properties. This sector is seen as being low risk and so has become a favourite of many traditional lenders.
- The lending criteria of many mainstream commercial lenders disqualify applicants who do not have three years' audited account, those without business plans, or those with a less than perfect credit history. As the UK workforce migrates more towards self-employment, greater flexibility is required from lenders to assess each case on its individual merits. Until recently, this flexibility has been hard to find. Similarly, in the past, the requirement for three years' accounts has been a barrier to new or young businesses.
The solution
To address these problems, a number of commercial mortgage lenders now offer commercial mortgages with some or all of the following features:
- Available to small owner managed limited companies, partnerships, and self-employed sole-traders
- Self-certification option - no need for three years' accounts
- Finance available for any purpose - no bank imposed restrictions
- Mortgage arrears, CCJs, IVAs, discharged bankruptcy all considered
- Same day indicative offers
- Completion in weeks, not months
- Transparent mortgage tracking Bank Base Rate
- Mortgage term of up to thirty years
- Advances from £50,000 up to £1.5m
