6/19/09 10:05 am - Congress carves into Obama's financial reforms

Senior U.S. lawmakers launched an assault on Thursday on the centrepiece of the Obama administration's financial reform plan -- giving the Federal Reserve new powers to police broad risks in the economy. Skip related content

In addition to handling monetary policy, under the Obama plan the Fed would regulate "systemic risk" and try to prevent future financial crises, working with an inter-agency council.

"The Federal Reserve system was not designed to carry out the systemic risk oversight mission the administration proposes to give it," Senator Richard Shelby, the top Republican on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, said at a hearing.
Concluding that the Fed is better qualified than any other government agency to handle such a job "represents a grossly inflated view of the Fed's expertise," Shelby said, reflecting the rapid spread of 'Fed fatigue' on Capitol Hill.
A day after President Barack Obama unveiled his plan, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was defending it in testimony before the banking committee in the first of more than a dozen hearings before Congress by mid-July.

Other points of contention emerged during the session, including a proposal for establishing a consumer financial product safety agency and the administration's decision not to pursue more streamlining of bank supervisors.

6/8/09 03:33 pm - Credit reform means new era for college students

WASHINGTON (AP)--It's an end of an era for the thousands of college students who rely on MasterCard or Visa to get them through tight times.

Under a new law awaiting President Barack Obama's signature, credit card companies will be prohibited from giving cards to people under 21, unless they can prove they have the means to repay the debt or a parent or guardian co-signs for the loan.

Congress passed the bill this week, and Obama was expected to sign it into law Friday. The changes will go into effect in nine months.

"The hope is that when they spend, they'll spend under better terms and there'll be fewer traps for them," said Pedro de la Torre, a spokesman for Campus Progress, a progressive group in Washington that tracks issues affecting young people.

Congress is hoping to break a vicious cycle: A cardholder falls behind in paying the bill and watches helplessly as the interest rate spikes on the existing balance. Buried in higher rates and late fees, the cardholder spend less, which hurts local businesses.

College students are particularly vulnerable.

According to Campus Progress, aggressive marketing by the card companies and multimillion-dollar agreements with universities have presented young people with ample opportunities to borrow money they can't repay. College seniors with credit cards are graduating with an average balance of $4,100, a 41 percent increase in the past five years, the group says.

6/1/09 02:13 pm - Choosing An Equipment Leasing Company

Equipment leasing is indeed an ideal option for many businesses especially those who have insufficient working capital to start with. About more than 30% of businesses in the US has already resorted to equipment lease financing to support their needs. However, the success of equipment leasing also depends on choosing the right equipment leasing company.
Some businesses may think that finding a leasing company with low leasing rates is a guarantee of an excellent lease provider. But this isn’t always the case. Although it is important to shop around for rates and consider leasing companies that offer good rates, this factor alone is not enough to ensure that you’ll getting a reliable lease provider. How can you choose the right equipment leasing company from a number of choices?

Making the Right Choice

Extensive research on your part as the lessee is needed to ensure that you’ll be working with the right lessor. One of the first things you should look for in an equipment leasing company is the willingness of its staff to answer your questions. You can only learn as much information as you can if the leasing company gives you sufficient answer.

A leasing company that offers unbelievably low rates may charge you with unexpected fees once you’ve signed up for the lease. Thus, it is crucial to be aware about the leasing company’s payment policies. You should know what exact payments you’ll be responsible for before signing any agreement.

Make sure that you understand the pricing terms of the lessor, the different leasing types they offer, your options as a lessee, and what types of equipment are accepted. Be wary about leasing firms which refuses to give the exact details about their company, or policies, or gives vague explanations to your inquiries especially with issues regarding payment.

It is also important to know that leasing companies differ in the services they provide. For instance, there are leasing companies that specialize on heavy equipment. Some leasing companies only cater to specific industries such as agriculture, transportation, health care, and other fields of business. It will save your time and effort if you narrow down your list of choices to equipment leasing companies that specifically caters to the nature of your business.

Leasing companies can be owned by a financial company, a banking institution, or independent leasing firms. You can find more independent lessors or small leasing firms in the market than larger equipment leasing firms. Don’t try to overlook these companies just because they’re small. The important thing is to check on the company’s background and reputation.

You can start your search for an equipment leasing company by getting recommendations from your friends or relatives who are knowledgeable in the business industry. You can also seek advice from your lawyer, your business accountant, and other professionals. If you know other business owner or entrepreneurs, ask them about an equipment leasing company they would endorse. The internet is also a great place to search for possible lessors. Just remember, take the time to research about the company and make sure that you understand what you’re dealing with before submitting that leasing application.

5/25/09 05:08 pm - Financing Your Business with Commercial Business Loans

Financial resources play a crucial role in the success of every business. Without sufficient financial support, it would be very difficult for a business to survive in the industry. Fortunately, commercial business loans are available for all aspiring entrepreneurs who need funding assistance particularly in starting up the business.

What do you need to know about commercial business loans? Is it really necessary to obtain a commercial loan even if you already have your own funds? What are the advantages about obtaining commercial business loans? Let’s answer these questions one at a time.

Benefits of A Commercial Business Loan

What is the advantage of taking out a commercial business loan? Primarily, a business loan enables a new entrepreneur to bring those brilliant business ideas to life immediately. Having available funds prepared makes it easy to execute business plans without delays. A commercial business loan is a traditional financing assistance that has been used and proven by successful business owners around the world.

It is important to remember that you can’t expect to see profits or enjoy profits immediately after opening up your business. You may need to wait a few months before your business can establish its footing in the market. If you think that a small budget is enough to start a business, you’ll soon have to learn that you’ll encounter financial challenges as you run the business. With a commercial business loan to back you up, you can be assured that you have a reliable financing resource by your side.

Applying for a commercial business loan

Generally, commercial business loan lenders require a business plan to be submitted by their applicants. If you haven’t created your business plan yet, you should start making one before applying for a business loan. What information should you include in your business plan? A business plan is an outline that tells the nature of the business, the type of business you own, the products and services you offer, your target market, your current financial standing, and other details about your business accounting. Your business plan often determines whether your proposed loan would be granted or not.

Commercial business loans often require that collateral be submitted as a security for the loan. Your home property, assets or commercial property can be submitted as a security for the money you borrowed. And since your property is on the line, every business owner must take his payment obligations seriously.

A bad credit history or low credit score can cause a rejection of your business loan application. There are commercial business lenders who offer loans for bad credit but they usually come with higher interest rates and costs. Thus, applicants with good to excellent credit scores can expect to have better deals when applying for a commercial business loan.

Upon approval of your commercial business loan, be prepared to take on your payment obligations. Don’t forget that the success of your business depends on how well you keep up with your payments to your lenders.

5/18/09 04:51 pm - How to Get Approved For an Equipment Lease

Leasing equipment is a practical option for any type of business. Business equipment which can be leased ranges from a simple cash registry to more complex types of machineries; from a regular car to large trucks and vehicles. Although, the procedures in obtaining business lease can be easy, there are some things you must consider before submitting your application.

Here are the factors that affect your approval when leasing business equipment.

How’s your credit status? Large corporations and companies who have been in the business for some time will not have a problem getting approved. But if you’ve just started up your business, you would need to have a good credit report to back you up. If you have a low credit score and have just started up your business, you may have a hard time getting an approval. Thus, it is always recommended to check on your credit report and do the necessary steps to increase your rating before submitting an application for equipment lease. If you already have a separate account for your business, make sure that you don’t have any outstanding balances with other creditors.

Have your documents ready. Generally, all business equipment leasing companies will require documentations on the types of equipment you need, the nature of your business, your credit history, business partners, and references in the business.

When it comes to references, it is better to provide as much references as possible to your lessor because it proves your credibility and ability to pay as a business. To be on the safe side, make sure that you did not have past conflicts with the references you will include even if these conflicts have already been settled. Past conflicts can also create a negative impression. Preparing for these documents in advance will save an enormous time with the processing of your application for equipment leasing.

Shop around for rates. Leasing companies do give free quotes on their services. Make sure that you take several leasing companies into consideration before choosing one. Knowing the rates offered by different companies will give you a more accurate idea on how much you should ask when negotiating with your chosen lessor.

Examine your business’s financial status. Look through your business account and study carefully the status of your finances. Give special attention to how your existing loans and if you’ve been able to keep up with all your payments. This will help you decide which leasing terms and which type of equipment will be best for the current status of your business.

Seek legal advice. When signing up for a contract, it is best to seek advice and assistance from a credible attorney to take a look at the legality and validity of the leasing contract. Remember that a contract binds you to your obligations on all terms that you’ve signed. Taking this extra step even if you’re rushing to obtain your equipment lease will ensure that you will not have any serious problem in the future.

5/11/09 03:40 pm - Tips On How To Get A Fast Equipment Leasing

If you have plans to apply for business equipment leasing, read on the following tips on how you can get a fast approval from your equipment leasing application:

Prepare all necessary documentations.  Don’t waste your time looking for the required documentations just when the leasing company is already asking for it.  Know in advance which types of documents are needed even before you submit your leasing application. 

Generally, you’ll need to prepare a business plan, a history of your company, description of your business, a list of the equipment you wish to lease, your credit report, references for your business, etc.  Your business plan should include your projected expenses, earnings and lease payments in case you obtain approval for your leasing. 

It will also save you a lot of time if you let a Certified Public Accountant prepare a financial statement for the past years of your business.  To be sure, you can call your prospective leasing company and ask the exact details about the paperworks needed.

Request and review possible quotes.  Consider all your options before choosing a particular leasing company.  Make sure that you’ll get the best rates by requesting for possible quotes and reviewing each one carefully.  This will help you compile your equipment leasing request better.

Provide a number of credible references.  Leasing companies appreciate it more if you give as many references as possible.  Don’t include former clients if you have a history of conflict or complaints with them.  Even if the matter has already been resolved, it can still have a negative impact to your business’s name.  This shows your capability to pay and sincerity as a borrower.  Don’t forget to provide the name, complete address and contact number of your references.

Have an attorney review the contract.  Don’t sign up anything without having an expert have a look at the stipulations of your contract.  Remember that any signed agreement is obligatory and you will not want to be bounded with unreasonable terms just because you did not check the document when you signed it.

Check your business’s credit history.  Make sure that your business account is free from past due debts and conflicts from any creditor.  You need a good credit status if you want to get a fast and easy approval.  If your business has just started, make sure that your personal credit history is excellent and impressive.  If you have present problems with your credit report, do the necessary actions first to improve your credit status.

Consider paying through ACH Debiting.  ACH Debiting is an arrangement between you,  your bank and your leasing company where your lease payments are automatically deducted from your account each month.  This type of arrangement is ideal because it prevents the possibility of delaying or missing your payment dues.

As much as possible, make way for actions that will enhance your credit.  You can enhance your credit status by obtaining more assets and investing in bonds or stocks.  These will greatly boost your credit rating and make it easy for leasing companies to grant you approval.

5/8/09 01:29 pm - Will the Twitter Bird Land on the Apple Tree?

The latest rumor on Twitter is that Apple has designs to buy up the microblogging service for $700 million. On one hand, Apple's pockets are presently brimming with cash, and the reported figure would represent a handsome payout for the young company. On the other hand, the two businesses are very different, and the benefits Twitter may offer Apple aren't especially clear.

Evidence is building that Twitter More about Twitter is the new mainstream cultural darling. There was the Ashton Kutcher/CNN follower smackdown, Oprah shouting from the bandwagon (thanks to her all-caps first tweet), and an episode of ABC's "Brothers and Sisters" wherein Rachel Griffith's character needed venture capital for her startup, but let slip during a meeting with potential investors that "I didn't know what Twitter was."

Does all this new pop culture street cred, however, add up to a US$700 million price tag for the microblogging company? A Tuesday post on the blog Valleywag mentions that number and cites a source who claims Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) Save 50% on Microsoft Office for Mac 2008. Click here to learn more. More about Apple is in serious negotiations to buy Twitter.
Both sides are reportedly hoping to announce a deal by the time Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference begins in June. However, tech reporters, media observers and the blogosphere are wasting little time dissecting a potential deal, trying to find value for Apple in a company that's white-hot with publicity and packs an estimated 22 million users but has so far found no profitable business model.
Valleywag points to an iPhone app mashup, but there are already multitudes of third-party developers providing that service to Apple's App Store. Why buy the Twitter bird when you're already getting the golden eggs for free?

5/4/09 07:42 pm - Equipment Leasing Most Common Mistakes

When applying for an equipment lease, some businesses fail to review the terms associated with leasing.  Usually, a business is in need of a set equipment to immediately start production or manufacturing.  Rushing to get an approval, signing a contract can be taken for granted as long as the lease has been approved.

Let’s discuss the most common mistakes that businesses make when obtaining equipment lease.

Very short contract of agreement.  A contract of agreement should contain all the terms and obligations that apply to your equipment leasing.  It should clearly stipulate all conditions that have been agreed upon by you and the equipment leasing company.  If the contract of agreement is very short, terms may not be clearly explained and some matters may be left unaddressed

For instance, issues about the software transaction may be left unclear.  Since some equipment requires software installation and support, you need to be clear about this in order to avoid future misunderstandings.  Another issue that should also be included in the contract is with regards to certain provisions if in case the company goes out of business.  Because all these matters are important, a contract needs to be complete, clear and unmistakable.

Details about the performance of the equipment.  As the borrower, you need to make sure that the equipment you will obtain will be capable of handling your workload.  These details must also be contained in the contract as this will serve as your protection against unsatisfactory equipment performance.

The question of support and accountability.  It is the duty of a leasing company to provide support for its customers.  However, if the exact responsibilities are not clearly defined, this may cause some problems after the leasing contract has been signed.  It is possible that the leasing company will not provide the support you need or pass this responsibility to someone else.

Think about your long term goal.  When leasing equipment, some businesses forget to think about what types of equipment will be able to support them for a longer term.  Instead, businesses often make the mistake of leasing pieces of equipment that will help them start up or launch a new project.  To get the best results, consider the long term goals of your business when choosing the pieces of equipment you wish to lease.

Miscommunication.  Any type of deal requires open communications from both parties.  Without clear communication, there is a greater tendency that conflicts will arise sooner or later.

Not seeking legal advice.  Seeking advice from a legal consultant or an attorney is often overlooked by businesses, especially small businesses applying for lease.  Although an attorney may cost additional fee, it will still work to your advantage.  An attorney can guarantee that all terms and conditions that you will be signing are reasonable and satisfactory.

These are just some of the most common mistakes that businesses commit when leasing equipment.  These can be avoided by taking the extra time to check and understand the contract before signing.  Doing so can save your business from possible problems in the future.

3/5/09 02:48 pm - Turn Your Dreams into Reality with Startup Business Loans

If you have a dream of owning a business, you’ll surely be interested to learn more about startup business loans.  Being successful means more than just having a brilliant business idea, great entrepreneurial skills, and determination.  Aside from these important elements, sufficient financing also plays a big role with your business success.

In most cases, the lack of capital hinders a person from realizing his dreams of starting a business.  It’s good to know that today, there are more than one business financing option that can help make your dreams come true.  In this article, let’s discuss the basic business start-up options that you can seek before venturing in business.

Where to Get Start-Up Business Loans

Banks and lending institutions each provide their own loan options both for growing and start-up small businesses.  Typically, a start-up loan comes with a repayment term that ranges from 1 to 30 years, depending on the amount borrowed.  Start-up loans can either be secured or unsecured and specific requirements depend on the lender.

Entrepreneurs who are also homeowners have the option to apply for a secured start-up business loan.  Because a secured loan is backed-up by the collateral submitted, a business owner can expect lower interest rates and a longer repayment term.  The amount of loan is often determined by the value of the collateral submitted.  In most cases, the home is used as collateral because of its high value but other personal assets and commercial properties can be used as well. 

However, not everyone is willing to submit their property to guarantee a business loan.  If that’s true in your case, you can choose to apply for an unsecured business loan instead.  Obviously, unsecured loans are not tied up with any form of security but the interest rates and costs are often more expensive than those of secured loans.  In addition, unsecured business loans may only be limited to smaller amounts and the repayment term is shorter than loans with collateral.

Start up Business Loans and Your Credit

Regardless of the type of business loan you intend to apply for, your credit history would play a big role.  Of course, those with good to excellent credit score should have no problem getting approved quickly.  Furthermore, they have the option to ask for better rates from potential lenders.  Needless to say, it is recommended to check your credit status first before submitting a business loan application to any lender.

What of bad credit?  If you have a poor credit score, you may want to try to improve your credit first before getting a business loan.  Nevertheless, you can also find lenders who offer both secured and unsecured business loans for people with bad credit.  Take note however that because of the higher risk involved, these loans would come with more expensive rates and fees than the rest.  Still, if you do your research carefully, you should be able to find a lender who offers reasonable fees and terms for a bad credit business loan.

2/16/09 09:55 am - Roubini tells Geithner to nationalise US banks

Tim Geithner must nationalise some of America's biggest banks and take the total toll of the US bail-out to around $2 trillion, according to one of the world's most prominent economists.

Nouriel Roubini – the man feted with having foreseen the financial crisis before almost any of his peers – has warned that the US Treasury Secretary must go significantly further than his detail-light bail-out plan delivered last week, and argues that the Obama administration should move swiftly to take public ownership of those major US banks which are failing.
Professor Roubini, who worked with Mr Geithner in the Clinton administration, told The Daily Telegraph: "Many US banks are insolvent, even the major ones." While nationalisation is "a politically- charged decision" which needs to handled carefully, he said it needs to take place "sooner rather than later" for the sake of the wider economy.

Professor Roubini calculated that, on top of the existing $700bn (£491bn) of American taxpayers' money allocated to solving the banking crisis, Mr Geithner may need to ask the US Congress for between $1,000bn and $1,250bn in extra funds. "Sooner rather than later, they'll need more money," he added.

8/14/08 10:27 am - Who can apply for an SBA Business Loan?

There is no doubt that small businesses play a big role in the growth and development of a nation’s economy. The government is well aware of this fact. And with this in mind, the government has put up the Small Business Administration or the SBA to support small businesses in the United States. This agency was founded in 1953 in accordance with the Small Business Act.


It is important to understand however, that the SBA does not directly provide financial loans or business loans. The SBA was designed to assist smaller businesses whose loan applications were declined by banks or private lenders. If you’ve tried applying for a business loan before and your application was rejected, you can contact the SBA for help. In turn, the SBA will be the one to assist you in finding the right lender who would be willing to grant you the loan you need.


There are 5 business loan programs available through the SBA. These are the Loan Guarantee Program for start-up and growing businesses; the 504 Fixed Asset Financing Program for business construction projects and land purchases; the MicroLoan Program which amounts up to $35,000; the Economic Development Program which provides free counseling and low-cost training; and the 8(a)-Business Development Program for those who are considered as socially and economically disadvantaged small business owners.


SBA Loan Restrictions


The approval of your loan depends on four basic elements- the type of your business, the size of your business, the purpose of your loan, and special circumstances.
To be approved, the applicant must be the owner or must have made a reasonable investment in the business. It should be a small business, meaning it should be independently owned and dominant in size. The business loan must be use for purchasing business equipment, stocks, real estate, for renovation, or as a working capital. Special Circumstances applies to business franchises, clubs, farms, fishing boats, schools, etc. The SBA has set special rules and regulations if a business falls to qualify under this category.


An SBA loan cannot be used to pay off existing debts or delinquent taxes. In some cases however, a business can be approved if it can present that refinancing would be beneficial for the company and that these debts were not a result of uncontrolled spending or financial mismanagement.


Who else are not qualified for an SBA loan? Certain business types are disqualified and these are businesses with questionable foundation or illegal activities. Examples are gambling businesses, pyramid schemes, lending activities, real estate investments, and the like. Non-profit and religious organizations are also not acceptable.
In summary, remember that:

  • in order to be considered for an SBA loan, you must first have been turned down or rejected by a commercial business loan lender;
  • the SBA does not directly provide business loans but coordinates with lenders and financial institutions on behalf of small businesses;
to get approved, a business must be able to pass the SBA requirements and guidelines for small business.
