A few days ago, a customer came into my office and file a complain. Here is the story, Mr. Smith (name has been changed to protect the innocent) got his credit card a couple years ago. Three months after he received his credit card, he received a call from the credit card company offering to enroll in the company’s credit shield program; basically, he was told that it is a life and disability insurance. He was told that in case of death, critical illness or disability, his credit card payments will be taken care of by an insurance company, relieving him and his family of an additional burden. All he needed to do was to pay an insurance fee which is a certain percentage of his monthly balance.

To cut it short he, decided to enroll because of the benefit the telemarketer told him. About six months ago, he had an accident; he was hospitalized for about 5 months. So he called the insurance company and filled out all the paper works. When he received his billing statement the next month, he was so surprised that the insurance company only pays the minimum payment of his balance. What happened to the rest of the balance? It was charged with interest, and will continue to do so until he pay the full amount.

Let’s take a closer look. The insurance only cover your whole balance if you are dead, if you are still alive, they will pay only the minimum payment. Did the telemarketer tell you about this? Yes, they did, most of the telemarketer read from a script prepared by the company, this is to ensure that they inform all the necessary terms from the customer. The only thing is that the script have been prepared professionally inserting those terms in such a way that we do not pay attention and the telemarketer has been professionally train that they emphasize only the most lucrative offer.

So the next time the credit card company offers you additional life and disability insurance, make sure you ask them about the coverage policy for temporary disability and permanent disability. If they tell you that the marketer might not tell you the truth, ask them to send you the term and policy, say that you will discuss it with your lawyer before making a decision. This will help you unnecessary problem in the future.

As children, many of us began saving by plugging our pocket money into a piggy bank. It’s a good early lesson in money management, but as adults, it’s necessary to do more than just stash your cash under the bed.

But before starting to put your hard earned money into a savings account, you should first pay off any significant debts you may have. This is because the rate of interest on loans is generally higher than the maximum interest on savings accounts. Therefore it makes financial sense to pay off these debts before starting to save.

The one exception to this rule is the student loan. According to Student Finance Direct: “All student loans accrue interest which is linked to the rate of inflation in line with the Retail Prices Index. This means that in real terms, the amount you pay back will have broadly the same value as the amount you have borrowed and no profit is made on the loan itself. Interest accrues on your loan until it has been repaid in full. The current interest rate is 2.4%”.

If your only debt is a student loan, then you would be better off financially, by putting your money into a high interest savings account and paying off the loan in small amounts when you have a bit of spare money.

Due to inflation, if your money is not invested or placed in an account that is earning more than the current rate of inflation, you are actually losing money. Therefore it is essential that you save your money in an account that offers an interest rate that is above the current rate of inflation.

There are a number of factors to bear in mind when choosing a savings account. Do you want to have instant access to your money, or are you happy to give weeks or months notice? Do you want an account that is accessible online, or would you prefer to have a face to face service with a real person?

The general advice for new savers is to first open what’s called an ISA (Individual Savings Account). This is a savings account in which you can put a maximum of

For those small business owners who think they were ignored in the new stimulus bill (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), think again. While the debate continues to unravel as to “who gets what and whether it is enough”, one thing is certain: more money is coming in the direction of small businesses through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Remember, this is the agency responsible for the outreach, licensing, and implementation of, you guessed it, money into the pockets of small businesses. This is done through private licensed lenders who have agreed to join the SBA program. In other words, if your local community bank has a commercial loan department, it might very well have a SBA department which makes these loans. They are called SBA loans because the Federal government will reimburse, to a certain percentage, defaulted loans, thereby giving incentive for the private banks to loan more money. Net effect–more loans will be available for small business concerns. This is a continuing article (20 in all) on the subject: Help. Is anyone out there loaning to small businesses anymore?

Before we talk about how much more money is available to the SBA under the stimulus package, let’s look at the current status of one of the popular SBA loan programs. There is a loan program out there and SBA lenders are actually making loans currently: the Community Express Loan Program. This gives unsecured small business loans between $5,000 and $50,000 with very little paperwork, answers typically in two days, interest rates presently at 7.75%, funding and two weeks, and monies wired directly to your business account. There are still lenders participating in this program, although Congress has failed to make the program permanent and still has a 10% cap on the number of loans.
Enter the Obama stimulus bill. Let us look how it affects this program and small business lending as a whole.

So should we be excited by the stimulus package? Isn’t it all too customary in a new spending bill for a government agency to receive more funds? Not at all as to the SBA. During the Bush Administration tenure, they could easily have renamed the agency the ISBA (Ignore Small Business Association). As they were making “sound bite” statements to the press of how they were helping small business, they were arrogantly trying to dismantle it, or when they were in a better mood, just cutting the budget.

The point is we have a new administration that actually likes small businesses. Remember these are additional monies over and above the SBA’s current budget . As we all know, budgets are determined in approximately March of each year (assuming Congress has the good graces to agree) to be used for the next year. The SBA has already received their budget. This is whipped cream placed on the top of that small business cake.

And we are not talking about token amounts here. Here is how the additional monies are broken down:

1. 375 million for temporary fee reductions or elimination on SBA loans and increased SBA loan guarantees, up to 90% for some loans. Translation: When a borrower gets a SBA loan they pay a SBA loan guarantee fee which goes to Washington and used as a war chest to pay banks if there has been a default. That guarantee fee, depending upon the loan, is currently between 50% and 85%. There is a possibility that some loan programs can now be increased to a whopping 90% guarantee. If a borrower no longer pays these fees, the money has to come from somewhere, and in this case it is taxpayers’ money which is subsidizing those fees.

2. 255 million for a new loan program to help small businesses meet existing debt payments. Translation. You have a loan secured by fixed assets or real estate and want to refinance it, either to lower payments or put more money in your pockets for expansion.

3. 30 million for expanding SBA’s Micro Loan Program, with $6 million to help finance new lending and 24 million for technical assistance grants to Micro lenders. . Translation: Under the Microloan program, the Federal government loans blocks of money to the Microloan lenders who then reloan it, at higher rates, to the deserving communities and small businesses and usually collateral is required.

4. 20 million for streamlining the SBA lending and oversight process with new technology. Translation: The streamlining process will make it faster and more efficient to process loans and oversight is to monitor SBA licensed lenders–make sure they are acting for the benefit of small businesses and complying with the program guidelines.

5. 15 million for expanding SBA’s surety bond guarantee program. Translation: If you are a building contractor and have to take out a performance or payment bond on a project, you need substantial assets to secure the bond. This will help getting your hands on that needed bond and be able to secure the contract.

6. 25 million for staffing as to the new programs.

7. 20 million for the Office of Inspector General. Translation: To inspect and audit the licensed SBA lenders.

Although one could make the argument this new law is “too little too late”, we have to give our current administration a chance to do good things with this fresh money. And don’t forget the mindset of the SBA lender. Although they are not as wildly quixotic as stock market speculators, their purses open and close based upon the mood of the country. We want them to be as comfortable as possible when we walk toward them for money.

In today’s uncertain world, there are a few things that you can do to protect and help your family with very little effort. One of the most important things you can do is to purchase life insurance. This small investment will provide peace of mind to you and your family by ensuring that your final costs will be covered and that they will be able to continue living at the level they are used to in the event of your untimely death.

Many insurance agents will purchase insurance leads from companies specializing in sales leads, so they may contact you directly if you meet a certain profile of someone who needs life insurance. To begin your search for life insurance, it is highly recommended that you meet with an insurance agent. If you already have an agent that provides car or home insurance, they may be able to provide additional discounts when maintaining multiple policies. If you do not already have an insurance agent, talk to your friends, family or neighbors for their recommendations.

An experienced agent will help you determine the level of insurance that you will need to help your family and meet all obligations. They will also be able to explain the difference between term, global and whole life insurance policies. You should also check directly with your employer. Many companies offer group life insurance at deeply discounted rates. A small monthly premium payment can protect your family, but it is important that you adequately research the terms and conditions to make sure that you understand the benefits and limitations of your options.
