			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My neighbor asked me, &#8220;Why would anyone sell a successful company?&#8221;. He could not understand why anyone would leave a business that was doing well. Of course successful companies get sold all the time. <br/><br/>So why do these business owners sell? The short answer is that most closely held businesses sell for human reasons, such as burn out, retirement, illness, partnership disputes, family issues or other personal reasons. Usually the business is fine but the human being running the business needs a change. To understand this better it is key to understand the other options for exiting a business. <br/><br/>Close the Business/Liquidation <br/><br/>Closing a business that is profitable never makes sense. Even if the assets are liquidated the price is likely to be pennies on the dollar versus selling the business as a going concern with employees, customers and a reputation that is intact. Not only does the business owner get the lowest value but the employees, vendors and customers are hurt by this type of exit. <br/><br/>Accident, Illness or Death <br/><br/>No one wants to exit their business this way, but many do. The loss of an owner not only creates tremendous issues for the family but also creates a leadership void in the business. Even the most competent management can struggle when a key business leader is lost to a serious accident, illness or death. No one plans for this type of exit but many end up exiting the business this way because they failed to create an alternate plan. <br/><br/>Succession <br/><br/>Succession by a family member or key employee has its benefits. They know the business, its product or service, employees, customers and vendors. Succession can be operationally successful for the exiting owner if they make sure the successor is carefully selected, qualified and groomed for the position. The owner must be careful not to make an emotional choice of a relative or favorite employee but instead choose the successor with the right skills to lead the company into the future. You are not seeking an &#8220;Employee&#8221; mentality but an &#8220;Owner&#8221; mentality. If that rare person can be found in the business who can make the transition to Owner, they often do not have the cash needed to purchase the business. They are also likely to want to pay less for the business as familiarity will blind them to many of the value drivers of the company. So although succession can be operationally successful it is rarely a financial success for the outgoing owner. <br/><br/>Sell <br/><br/>Closing or liquidating the business minimizes the value to the owner. Accident, illness or death forces the issue on the owner. Succession provided a very limited pool of options with limited financial reward. <br/><br/>Selling on the other hand allows the business owner to decide their ideal timing, maximize the value of the business they worked so hard to build, coordinate the use of the sale proceeds for financial planning and align their personal goals with the sale of a business. Selling the business allows the business owner to create a wealth event and often significant on-going passive income without having to run their business. <br/><br/>Whatever they are, human reasons are always pushing and pulling on a business owner. Burn out, stress, divorce, illness, partner disputes and limited growth capital are some of the human reasons that push owners out of the business. Retirement, enjoying life, relocating, a new business opportunity and passive income are some of the reasons that pull a business owner out. Whatever the motivation, the fundamental reason a business owner chooses a sale as their ideal exit plan is control. The business owner chooses to understand the value of their business and to proactively pursue the right buyer and the right price. By selling a business you choose to exit your business by choice, not by force. <br/><br/>The professional team at Sunbelt Midwest can help you confidentially sell or buy a business in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, and surrounding areas.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A venture financing can be structured using one or more of several types of securities ranging from straight debt-to-debt with equity features (e.g., convertible debt or debt with warrants) to common stock. Each type of security offers certain advantages and disadvantages to both the entrepreneur and the investor. The characteristcs of your situation and current market forces will impact the type and mix of security package that is right for you. <br/><br/>While each of these securities has unique characteristics, they can be grouped into two categories: debt or equity. In structuring a venture financing, the primary question is whether the financing should be in the form of debt or equity. <br/><br/>From a company&#8217;s viewpoint, there are two potential disadvantages to debt. <br/><br/>From the venture capitalist&#8217;s viewpoint, there are three principal advantages to debt. <br/><br/>While the difference may not be great, depending on the particular circumstances of the company, a debt position involves less risk than an equity position for the venture capitalist. Accordingly, a company should not have to relinquish as much ownership when a financing is in the form of debt. However, this advantage must be weighed against the disadvantages of debt. <br/><br/>No matter how the venture financing is structured, it must be priced so that it is attractive to the venture capitalist. There is no clear-cut answer as to how much ownership a company will have to relinquish to make a financing attractive. Broadly speaking, the greater the potential return perceived by the venture capitalist, the less ownership he will demand. In other words, if a company has a patented product which a venture capitalist thinks is revolutionary and highly marketable, he will undoubtedly settle for less ownership than he would in the case of 4 company with a relatively less attractive product. Thus, his ultimate position will be a business judgment based on his potential return. <br/><br/>Before you enter negotiations with the venture capitalist, you should determine what your company is worth and how much of your company you want to sell. The following procedure can be used to get a rough idea of how much ownership you will have to give up to make the financing attractive. <br/><br/>Suppose XYZ Company, Inc., a start-up, needs $500,000. The company&#8217;s product appears to have excellent potential. However, because the product is new and unproven, an investment in the company would be extremely risky. Accordingly, it is reasonable to estimate that a venture capitalist would want a potential return of at least ten times his total investment in five years. Management estimates that the company should be able to &#8220;go public&#8221; at 20 times earnings in five years. Projected after-tax earnings for the fifth year is $1,250,000. Additional long-term financing of $500,000 will be needed at the beginning of the third year. <br/><br/>In the calculations below it is assumed that the venture capitalist who provides the initial financing ($500,000) also provides the subsequent financing ($500,000), and that he wants a return equal to ten times both. However, it should be noted that if the company made satisfactory progress during the first two years, it would be reasonable to assume that the venture capitalist would be satisfied with a lower return on the subsequent financing since it would involve less risk. <br/><br/>In this set of calculations it is assumed that a second investor provides the subsequent financing ($500,000). The calculations show that the venture capitalist who provides the initial financing ($500,000) would need 20% ownership as of the fifth Year to realize the return he wants. However, since the ownership to be given up for the subsequent financing will reduce his ownership position, he will want more than 20% ownership initially. For example, if it is assumed that 15% ownership will have to be given up for the subsequent financing, the venture capitalist who provides the initial financing would need 23% ownership initially to end up with 20% ownership in the fifth year. <br/><br/>Assume the same facts as Case I, except a second investor provides the subsequent financing for 15% ownership. <br/><br/>Thus, it appears that the investment ($500,000) may be attractive to an interested venture capitalist if the principals of XYZ Company, Inc. are willing to give up approximately 23% ownership. <br/><br/>It must be emphasized that the above procedure is highly subjective. And, you should remember that what really matters is how the venture capitalist views the relative attractiveness of a company. Typically, venture capitalists are satisfied with a minority interest. Although a venture capitalist may demand a majority interest, generally they are not interested in operating control. Some of them like to tie the amount of ownership they ultimately get to the performance of the company. For example, a venture capitalist who wants a majority interest initially may give the principals the opportunity to earn part of it back. Such an arrangement can be used to compromise on pricing when there is a significant disagreement between the principals and the venture capitalist. <br/><br/>To entrepreneurs unfamiliar with venture capital, it may appear that the venture capitalist is seeking an extraordinary high return on his investment. However, it is important to understand that, even under the best of circumstances, only a minority of the companies in which the venture capitalists invests will be successful. He is well aware of this, and must make a sufficient return of his successful investments to come out with an acceptable return overall. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A relative has just died. He had a life insurance policy with you listed as the beneficiary. There&#8217;s just one problem: the life insurance policy is missing. You have no idea which insurance company wrote it. </p>
<p>If you find the missing  life insurance policy in the future, are you still eligible to receive the death benefit? Hope they paid their insurance bills</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a beneficiary and you find the lost life insurance policy shortly after the insured dies (within six months to a year, for example), claiming the death benefit should be trouble-free. </p>
<p>First, determine if the insured had term or permanent life insurance. If the insured held a term policy, you&#8217;ll receive the death benefit if he died before the end of the policy term. If he died after the policy expiration date, you would get nothing. </p>
<p>If the insured had a permanent life policy, you&#8217;ll receive the money if the death occurred while the policy was &#8220;in force,&#8221; meaning all premium payments were made up until the time of death. If the death was a while ago, you&#8217;ll receive the benefit with interest from the date of death. </p>
<p>If the life insurance policy lapsed — meaning the insured stopped making premium payments before he died — there&#8217;s a chance you might get nothing. When a permanent life insurance policy lapses, most insurance companies switch its status from permanent insurance to one of two options: &#8220;Extended term&#8221; — The insurance company uses the cash value of the policy to buy a term life insurance policy for the same death benefit using the cash value of the policy. The death benefit will continue for the longest period the cash value will purchase. &#8220;Reduced paid up&#8221; — The insurance company will keep the policy in force permanently, but will reduce the death benefit. </p>
<p>Gerry Brogla, an actuary for State Farm, says in the majority of the cases at his company, the permanent policy continues as extended term if it lapses. At State Farm, extended term is the default option for most permanent policies.</p>
<p>If the policy lapses, and the extended-term period expires before the insured dies, the policy is worthless and the life insurance beneficiary will get nothing. If the insured dies before the extended-term period is up, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit. If the policy lapsed because the insured died (thus ending premium payments and causing the insurance to be placed in extended-term status), the beneficiary will still collect the full death benefit, regardless of when the extended term was up. The beneficiary always needs to supply the insurance company with a death certificate to verify the date of death.</p>
<p>There is no time limit during which a life insurance beneficiary must step forward to collect the money, according to Jack Dolan, spokesman for the American Council of Life Insurers. &#8220;If a person shows up 30 years after [the insured's] death, the company still makes good on it,&#8221; Dolan assures. What happens if no one ever reports the death?</p>
<p>If the insured dies and the insurance company does not learn of the death, the policy lapses. Insurance companies will take steps to find out why a policyholder stopped making payments. </p>
<p>When an insurance company stops getting payments, it sends letters to the insured informing him the policy may lapse as a result of unpaid premiums. If the letters go unanswered, the company might initiate a search to find the insured. If that comes up empty, the company will then lapse the policy.</p>
<p>If a beneficiary to a policy never steps forward, it unfortunately means the insured paid money to a policy throughout his life and his beneficiaries never see a penny. This is why its a good idea to make sure beneficiaries are aware of any life insurance policies you have.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re lucky, the state may have your money</p>
<p>In some cases when a beneficiary fails to claim a death benefit for several years, the money is transferred to the state where the insurance policy was purchased under the escheat laws.</p>
<p>If a company knows an insured died and it cannot find the beneficiary, it must turn the full death benefit over to the state comptroller&#8217;s department within three to five years of the insured&#8217;s death. The money is transferred to the state where the insured bought the policy. The money is considered &#8220;unclaimed property&#8221; and gets lumped in with dormant bank accounts and uncollected rent deposits. The comptroller&#8217;s department maintains a database that lists the names and addresses of lost life insurance beneficiaries. </p>
<p>Many states will try to contact life insurance beneficiaries in an effort to pay the death benefits. In Texas, for example, the names and addresses of the beneficiaries are published annually in each county in the state. In New York, the Web site of the  New York State Comptroller&#8217;s Office of Unclaimed Funds has an online search to find any unclaimed death benefits owed to you. You can find out the procedures in your state by contacting the office of your state comptroller or treasurer.</p>
<p>Keep in mind your chances of finding the policy with the state are slim. The insurance company has no obligation to hand the money over to the state if it&#8217;s unaware the insured died. In most cases, it&#8217;s the beneficiary who contacts the insurance company. </p>
<p>Also, the insurer only transfers the money to the state three to five years after it cannot find the beneficiary but knows the insured died. If the state doesn&#8217;t have the death benefit, it&#8217;s likely the insurer is still looking for the beneficiary or doesn&#8217;t know the policyholder has died.</p>
<p>Unclaimed death benefits are rarely transferred to the state. Dave Potter, a spokesman for Hartford Life, says less than 1 percent of his company&#8217;s death benefits go unclaimed.</p>
<p>Del Chance, a life insurance claims manager at State Farm, says, &#8220;Turning over life policy benefits to an individual state after the death of an insured is extremely rare. State Farm utilizes their own search techniques as well as outside vendors to locate lost beneficiaries in the event of the death of one of our insureds. By and large these procedures have always located the beneficiary.Tips for making sure your life insurance beneficiaries get your death benefit:</p>
<p>1. Give your beneficiaries your policy information. It can be a difficult and awkward conversation, but an important one.</p>
<p>2. Keep all your financial records (especially your life insurance policies) in one place. Don&#8217;t force your beneficiaries to search your house from top to bottom after you die.Tips for looking for lost life insurance policies:</p>
<p>1. Go through canceled checks or contact your relative&#8217;s bank for copies of old checks. Look for checks made out to insurance companies.</p>
<p>2. Ask those who may have known about your relative&#8217;s finances. Speak with the relative&#8217;s lawyer, banker or accountant. Also contact the relative&#8217;s insurance agent.</p>
<p>3. Contact your relative&#8217;s past employers. They might know of possible group life insurance. The insured might have also purchased supplemental life insurance through work.</p>
<p>4. Check the mail for a year. Premium bills and policy-status notices are usually sent annually.</p>
<p>5. Look at income tax returns for the past two years. Check for interest income from policies or expenses paid to life insurance companies.</p>
<p>6. Contact the Medical Information Bureau. If your relative bought life insurance fairly recently, there might be a trail of the companies to which he applied. The Medical Information Bureau (MIB) maintains a database that might show if insurers requested your relative&#8217;s medical information within the past seven years. Record searches can be requested through the MIB&#8217;s Policy Locator Service and cost $75. The MIB says that nearly 30 percent of searches turn up leads. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ask Denver mortgage loan providers what would-be borrowers want to know and the answer is simple. Those who are shopping for mortgage loans in Denver want to know what their rate would be for a Denver mortgage.</p>
<p>But for the average mortgage lender, the answer is hard to come up with at a moment’s notice. There are no two borrowers who are exactly alike, so no two Denver mortgages would be exactly alike. There are many factors in the Denver mortgage quote equation, like:</p>
<p>• The type of properties for needed Denver mortgages</p>
<p>• The applicant’s credit score for Denver mortgages</p>
<p>• The future plans of a borrower applying for a Denver mortgage</p>
<p>• Whether the Denver mortgage loan quote is needed</p>
<p>for a first home or subsequent home</p>
<p>•The size of a mortgage loan and whether the Denver property will need a jumbo loan (more than $417,000)</p>
<p>• Other debt obligations of the applicant for Denver mortgage loan</p>
<p>• Applicants income for Denver mortgage loan quote</p>
<p>With these factors, a mortgage lender in Denver will find the best product for mortgage loans in Denver. To get the best rate for the borrower looking for a Denver mortgage quote, the mortgage lender in Denver will look at all of their products to see how they can best obtain the Denver mortgage loan quote and which of the Denver mortgages they have available will be most affordable for a customer.Getting Beyond the Denver Mortgage Quote Rate</p>
<p>In addition to the mortgage loan rates in Denver, there are other factors that can impact the affordability and final amounts owed for Denver mortgages. These need to be carefully considered. Some mortgage lenders in Denver will offer good, low rates for Denver mortgages but have high fees and closing costs that makes up for the difference. Denver is not immune to such dealings in Denver mortgages. Be sure to ask about closing costs and other fees for Denver mortgages early in the process. These kinds of mortgage lenders in Denver want a borrower to get to the “point of no return” before they realize how high the true cost of the lower Denver mortgage quote can be.How to Assess a Good Mortgage Lender in Denver</p>
<p>What a borrower should aim for is the best mortgage loan in Denver with the best total package including reasonable rates, closing costs, and frees, along with excellent customer service from the lender. A borrower should expect a mortgage lender in Denver to provide good service that is helpful, informative and, most importantly, professional in providing a Denver mortgage loan quote. A borrower should be able to ask questions they want about the Denver mortgage, product, the borrower’s Denver mortgage quote, or any other  nformation about options and terms. When a borrower asks, they should get a professional and detailed answer. A borrower should never leave a conversation about the Denver mortgage loan quote wondering to what they are agreeing or feeling disrespected. If they do feel that way, then they should go elsewhere for a mortgage loan in Denver. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To achieve financial independence, experts encourage even currently employed individuals to consider entrepreneurship. Setting up your own business, no matter how small, is touted as one of the best ways toward building the foundation for wealth. Those who are concerned about having a safety net need not take the plunge recklessly. One can start setting up a small business even while employed. Â Of crucial use to small businesses are credit card services and small business loans. The entrepreneur needs to know how to avail of these tools and how to effectively wield them for maximum business growth.Credit Card Services A small business would do well to get reputable credit card services in order to prosper in the current business climate. Availing of credit card services will enable it to accept both credit card and debit card payments. This is true either for brick-and-mortar businesses or internet based online businesses. After all, most consumers nowadays routinely use credit cards or debit cards for payment purposes. It only makes good business sense to be well-equipped for the needs of credit card users and debit card users as well as for the needs of customers who pay in cash.Merchant services provide credit card services covering a wide range of solutions for the processing of credit cards and debit cards as payment options. These credit card services include traditional terminal equipment at point of sale, where credit cards or debit cards are swiped. It also includes software and high speed IP solutions for both traditional commerce and e-commerce. Credit card and debit card payments can, therefore, be accepted in person or through the internet, by phone or by fax.Â Â Â  Â Small Business LoansAny business â whether a small start-up business, a medium-scaled one or a big business company â will be needing an infusion of additional capital sooner or later. Additional capital is always needed for expansion, additional inventory, additional manpower, new systems, new equipment or a new physical layout. Capital is not always easy to come by, though. The original investorsâ personal coffers may have been emptied by the earlier outlays. Prospective investors may not be keen on shelling out funds in times of crisis. Businesses, therefore, have no choice but to seek business loans.Getting business loans is a difficult process. Even small business loans are not readily approved. Be prepared to present a lot of documentation and paperwork. For small business loans, the proprietorâs personal credit history is taken into account and related references need to be submitted. Of course, the companyâs financial statements are just as important in proving the feasibility of the business and its capacity to repay its business loans. Having a detailed business plan will show your business strategies and projections, demonstrating your business acumen.Unfortunately, even with all the requirements completed, applications for business loans â including small business loans â are, more often than not, disapproved. SolutionsSome merchant services provide a comprehensive solution for the needs of small businesses in relation to credit card services and small business loans. The set up is elegantly simple. A small business need only avail of the companyâs credit card services to be eligible for merchant cash advances. These cash advances are actually small business loans, except that there is no need to go through the complicated application process for business loans. Repayment is made very easy and worry-free, too. A certain small percentage is built into the credit card processing rates to take care of the advances. This way, repayment is actually done automatically in a very affordable manner and according to income flow.Small business owners would, indeed, be wise to look into these timely business solutions. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is inevitable that you may need cash for emergency purposes; however, you have limited income resources. Fortunately, easy payday loans are available to aid you in fulfilling financial obligations that transpire unexpectedly. Easy payday loans are short-term loans that can be repaid until your next payday. These <a href="http://www.badcreditloancenter.com/cash-advance/">cash advance</a> loans can be availed of quickly because the approval period takes only a short time. The process for both application and approval is quick and simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you avail of easy payday loans, you can obtain a loan amount that ranges from $100 to $1000. Most lenders of these types of loans offer larger loan amount to people who have high monthly income. Thus, the loan amount you can avail will be based on your monthly income.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, since <a href="http://www.badcreditloancenter.com">bad credit loans</a> can be availed in no time, most lenders may charge you with high interest rates. This is because lenders want to earn as much interest as they could in a span of 30 days or as soon as you get your pay check. However, you should not worry too much on the high interest rate since no easier way of getting money is available than obtaining such loans. The high interest rates can also be lowered if you are able to find reputable lenders offering reasonable loan packages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, these loans do not require collateral. Unlike other types of loans necessitating for collateral, these loans only require borrowers to issue a post-dated check in the amount of loan agreed upon plus any other charges that may be incorporated with the loan. The lender will present the post-dated check to your bank and draw the money you have loaned. More so, borrowers with poor credit rating or bad credit history can also avail of these loans. This is because the lenders are secured as the borrowers need to present a post-dated check.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When applying for easy payday loans, you should make sure that you consider several factors. Do not rush to avail these loans. You need to make sure that the check you will issue has adequate funding so that you may not get into any kind of trouble both with the lender and the bank. More so, it is important that you do not avail of any amount of loan beyond your capacity to repay.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You should also compare the rates of interest offered by various lenders. Choose a lender that offers a reasonable rate of interest and loan package. Make sure the one you choose suits you the best. In addition, when availing of any type of <a href="http://www.badcreditloancenter.com">personal loans for people with bad credit</a>, you should ensure you can handle your responsibility. It is important that you comply with the terms and conditions provided by the lender. Thus, you should also make sure to read the terms and conditions of the lender thoroughly so that you would not be committed to anything against your preferences. Check if there are any hidden costs or fees and make sure you comply with the agreed schedule of repayment.</p>
