By A Nutt While going to the hospital might be free in Canada, nearly all cosmetic surgery is considered optional and is therefore not covered. That leaves people who wish to have surgery to change their bodies in a bit of a bind when it comes to financing their procedures. However, there are a number of companies that will provide financing for these operations, you just need to know where to find them. There are a number of factors to keep in mind when looking for a company that will offer financing for your surgery. Types of Financing Other companies will provide plastic surgery loans after checking out the exact process that you will be doing, as well as the surgeon involved. With these companies, you may be required to use a specific surgeon or surgeons chosen from their approved list. These firms may also offer lower interest rates and a more affordable monthly payment schedule, so it is worth looking into. Types of Surgery What if you are looking at doing more than one type of enhancement? Then you should be looking for a company that provides more general coverage. These will usually provide for multiple procedures in one surgery, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction, or may even work with you over a series of procedures. You should have a good idea of what you are looking for before starting your search for a financing company. There are a number of options, so knowing which cosmetic surgery you need, as well as the general cost and which surgeons you prefer will help narrow the options down so it is easier to make a choice. The next step is to start contacting the companies that offer the type of credit that you need. Cosmetic surgery can be costly, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have it done. As long as you take the time to clarify what you need and then contact companies that are willing to finance your surgeries, you should be able to go forward with the plastic surgery, no matter what type it is.

By Marco Terry There are few businesses that are as cash flow intensive as a trucking company. The list of ongoing expenses can be endless and can easily overwhelm small and medium size trucking companies. There are fuel expenses, truck repairs, rentals and salaries. Although most trucking companies are very profitable, few can afford to wait the usual 30 to 60 days it takes to get paid for their freight bills. Unless the trucking company has a significant cash cushion in the bank, waiting 30 to 60 days to get paid can cause serious problems. It can jeopardize existing operations and furthermore, it can prevent you from growing your business. The only way to get out of the cash flow rut is to find a way to capitalize on your slow paying invoices. The best tool to do this for a trucking company is called freight bill factoring. Freight bill factoring enables the trucking company to get paid for their freight bills within a day of invoicing, eliminating the usual 30 to 60 day wait.. With a factoring agreement in place, you can stabilize your company’s cash flow and eliminate the stress of not knowing when you’ll be paid. Since freight bill factoring eliminates the worries of waiting for your payment, you will be free to focus on what you do best: running your business. Who qualifies for freight bill factoring? Most small and mid size trucking and transportation companies should qualify for factoring. There are two main requirements to qualify. First, your company must do business with reputable clients or freight brokers. Second, your company must be free of tax problems. If you meet these two criteria, more often than not you will qualify. Most factoring companies are comfortable working with new businesses, so you should be able to qualify even if your company is a start up. Best of all, you can get a financing agreement in place within a few days. What services does a factoring company provide? The main benefit of working with a freight bill factor is that this will provide you with advanced funds on your freight bills. That means you can get paid very quickly after invoicing. However, most factors will also provide you with collections and credit protection as part of their services. This enables you to focus your energies and your staff on growing your company rather than on expensive and time consuming back office work. Factoring for growth Although many truck operators initially obtain factoring financing to avert the problems of dealing with slow payers, eventually most owners realize that factoring can help them grow their business. It eliminates their biggest worry by ensuring that invoices get paid immediately, freeing up cash and enabling the owner to grow the business.

By Mark Burdett If you’re about to or have recently remarked on setting up a new business, you’ll understand that there are a million one thing’s you need to think about and get in place before trading commences. Northern Counties, the Gateshead based commercial insurance brokers, have been providing insurance solutions to new and established companies in the UK for over 78 years. Here are some tips they give to new businesses when purchasing their first business insurance policies: Be honest. It may sound the most obvious statement but forgotten or inaccurate information could affect your insurance at a later date. Your motto should be, if in doubt, disclose it. Use an insurance broker if you can’t spare the time to phone or shop around yourself. An insurance broker will search a large number of leading insurers for you so you could save money as well as time. Choose your insurance provider carefully. A recent survey conducted by Holden Pearmain, the market research company, showed that 63% of small and medium sized businesses (SME’s) preferred using a local supplier when it came to choosing their insurance provider. And 42% surveyed felt using an insurance broker was the best way to get the best deal. When choosing your insurance provider look for a company that understands your needs and has facilities with leading insurance companies to ensure you get the right cover, at the right price. Make sure you’re covered correctly. Insurance can be confusing so if you are unsure of anything, ask your broker or insurance company before taking out a policy. They are the experts so take advantage of their knowledge. Increase your excess. Most new businesses will want to keep outgoings to a minimum. If you’re looking to reduce your premium without sacrificing cover, you could opt for an additional voluntary excess on top of your compulsory excess. Consider putting all your insurance policies with the same insurance broker or company. Not only will this make your administration far easier (vital for any new business), but you may also qualify for discounts for having more than one policy with them. The cheapest isn’t always the best. As insurance isn’t a “sexy” purchase, many new businesses opt for the cheapest is best option. Don’t always assume this is the case. Make sure the policy you buy gives you the level of cover you require. Don’t leave it until you make a claim to find out if the policy meets your needs. Make a list of what you need from an insurance policy and make sure the policy you buy includes it. And if in doubt, ask. Finally, your insurance provider should give you advice and guide you through your options so you end up with the correct cover, at the right premium and ultimately have peace of mind that your new business is protected against the unexpected.

By Jason Creation What is corporate finance? It’s a question that a new entrepreneur might ask when they first start to consider the possibility that they may want to take their company public in the future. Sure, some people hire an expert in corporate finance, but if you’re new, here is a simple explanation. Think of the movie trilogy, Star Wars. You may wonder what Star Wars might have to do with this comparison, but it will become clear in the end. In the Movie “Empire Strikes Back”, the Imperial Forces under the command of Darth Vader, are seen as people with money, but essentially have no ideas or time so to speak. These we will refer to as “Investors”. Then you get Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) who is Darth Vader’s mentor and the general ‘evil villain’ of the entire story. We will refer to him as the ‘Company’ since he has ideas and time, but no money to back him up. So it starts with the Investors. They invest in the ‘Company’ and from there, it will lead to numerous projects. Once again think of the ‘Death Star’ that was under construction in ‘Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi’. The construction of the Death Star will be the project, and later this in turn will lead to ‘Coupon payments, Dividends and Stock Purchases.’ Here you can imagine how the construction of the Death Star is used as a terrifying icon that will persuade rebels and other worlds/organizations that it’s best to stand with the Empire in the long run. The Emperor has manipulated everything from the start, but by recruiting Darth Vader and getting Darth Vader to see his side of things, he could build an Empire feared by everyone. So you have the investors that are people with no ideas and little time, that invest in the company. This in turn leads to projects and later this leads to dividends, stock purchases and coupon payments. However, things can be complicated by taxes and needing cash flow so you would have to take some of your project’s proceeds and reinvest so the operation of your company could continue. So how can you raise money for your business? Once you start to think of raising capital, you realize there are long-term investments like getting machinery or physical assets. You may want to brand your company over the long term as well. Then you also need to consider your short-term investments like the day-to-day running costs of your business, the staff wages that need to be paid or the buying of stock. If you have evaluated your company and decided it’s the right time to move forward, I can suggest that one way to raise money is by taking your company public. It would help here to sit down with an experienced ‘Go Public’ firm that has an extensive list of investment bankers that can help your company in the long run. Another area to consider is by getting a good business plan together and going through venture capitalists. But keep in mind they are quite selective with who they offer the capital to as they hear so many pitches in a month or year, that it’s quite a steep competition. There are other less common forms of financing which involve loans, and using your credit cards, but there is a genuine chance to get some money for the business if you take your company public. The advantage is you can advertise to the general public and investors would be more interested, than if you were a private company.

By Adam Woodham Any time you have property damage to your residence, you have to go through your Insurance Company to recover money for your losses and to rebuild what was lost. If you are like a large sum of property owners, you walked away with a check from your insrance company with barely enough funds to cover half of the work that has to be done to get your home back in shape. This happens because of a couple of reasons. The first reason this happens is because of the nature of the Insurance Industry. They are in business to make money. They also hire their own Insurance Adjusters to estimate the amount of property damage you have to your home and how much it will cost to fix it. Since the Insurance Adjuster in this case works for the insurance company, you have nobody that is evaluating the damage with your thoughts in mind. The second reason that Insurance Companies underpay their property owners is simply because the average property owner doesn’t know any better. They see the insurance company and their Adjuster doing work, and when they come up with a payment number, it is automatically accepted that this is how much they should be paid for the damage. A little known fact, is that all property owners can choose their own contractors and get multiple bids on conductng repairs to their home. You do not have to take the lowest estimate of the bunch. The lowst estimate could mean the work will also be the lowest quality. You, as a property owner, have the option of selecting the contractor with the highest estimate if you choose, and that is what the insurance company has to go by. The problem with this option is that the average property owner doesn’t know how to go about this process. It can be very tedious, overwhelming, and plain confusing. The good news is that you can get an Insurance Adjuster that works striclty for the policy holder and has only your interests at heart. This type of Adjuster is referred to as Public Adjuster. A Public Aduster’s responsiblity is to work with and for the policy holder and to get every penny they deserve out of the insurance company. Property damage claims that are handled by a Public Adjuster include fire, wind, water, flood, hurricane, theft and many others. In many states, a property damage claim can be reopened up to five years after it was claimed. If you feel that you were underpaid by your insurance company on a past insurance claim, a Certified Public Adjuster can help you recover those extra funds.
