There was a time when being self-employed meant that you would have a very hard time ever getting any credit from a bank. This was pretty much accepted as one of the downsides to self-employment that would go hand in hand with all the benefits such as freedom to control your own working life and only answering to yourself.

It is however, still the case that for people who are new to self-employment and cannot prove a steady income over at least a year or more, it can be very difficult to get loans. However, if you’ve been operating successfully for even just a year, you will start to find that banks are more than willing to consider your circumstances and give you a fair shot at proving your credit worthiness.

There is a strong view that being self-employed offers less security than being employed by a well respected and trusted large company. However, this perception is also changing. Gone are the days when people were employed by the same company for their entire working life, where they would gradually work their way up the corporate ladder and retire to a secure pension.

Banks are increasingly aware that the employment landscape has changed enormously in recent years and that self-employment, free lance work and other such ‘alternative’ working arrangements are becoming more and more attractive and necessary for a growing number of workers.

All this means that lenders are more willing than ever to consider self-employed workers for loans. The terms and rates for such loans are improving dramatically so that now, they are offered on virtually identical terms to those offered to traditionally employed workers. Therefore, if you are self-employed, you are now just as likely to be approved for a mortgage as anyone else. The same basis will be applied to determine the amount of the loan you are eligible for, namely earnings.

Also, as more and more people are beginning to see the advantages to setting up in business by themselves, banks are beginning to view this area of the market as an important source of customers. Thus, competition is increasing. This can only be good news for those who are self-employed and are trying to get credit. As competition increases, the loans on offer and the terms and conditions that govern them, will get ever more attractive. Prices and interest rates will come down and getting a loan will be every bit as possible for the self-employed as it is for the traditionally employed.

“No one pays much attention to how a person who has been injured is going to live while waiting for a case to settle, the legal system tends to put people who cannot afford to wait for their money at a disadvantage.”

- Boston Bar Association Ethics Committee Chairman, Gerry Cohen



With these words millions of U.S. consumers every year find out 1st hand the truthfulness of Mr. Cohen’s assessment of the legal system; but who more so than the million each year who suffer tragically at the hands of greedy insurance companies.



“Our litigation nightmares nearly ruined us financially” describes litigant Brian Spencer who will soon be in court for damages his corporation sustained after 4 years of fighting the city who caused the problem in shutting down his business without cause. The “extreme hardship our family has suffered in physical, mental and emotional suffering has stolen health, happiness and almost our marriage after a severe financial collapse, having your business stolen from you by government corruption and police brutality is something no one has resources to survive” Spencer said.



The costs injured plaintiffs sustain are far more than the actual pain and suffering, as injuries affect everything including your standard of living, plaintiffs’ can no longer maintain the same earnings. Throw in future credit and borrowing and you begin to know the real long term side effects no one takes into consideration and that’s why injured plaintiffs need help in many areas to recover.



Is there a solution? 1st Choice Funding offers injured plaintiffs many solutions and one is by offering cash in hand now when injured plaintiffs need it most vs. when settlement finally occurs. The program is called “No Win …No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Advance. This innovative program puts injured litigants in the position to receive cash prior to settlement with

No credit required

A “No Win…No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Advance is unheard of from traditional banking approaches to lending money conventional lenders agree. “1st Choice Funding’s Lawsuit Advances aren’t really loans at all and that’s why conventional approaches aren’t how we make determinations for funding” said 1st Choice Funding company president Timothy S. Gray, “Lawsuit Advances are what consumers call them but in reality what they are advances made on future settlement, and that’s something conventional lenders just don’t understand.”



What does injured victim Spencer think of the opportunity to have 50,000.00 now vs. the lengthy and unsure settlement all litigants endure? Spencer says with conviction, “It provided us the means to pay the experts we needed to depose in order to put this thing in the bag I recommend 1st Choice Funding to everyone including my attorney and we have all benefited.”

Corporate ERP/MRP selection might be tough one, especially considering very turbulent ERP world and fierce competition between Microsoft Business Solutions (Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, MS CRM), Oracle (Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards), IBM (including Lotus Domino), SAP, Microsiga (Brazil, Portugal). We recommend you, IT director of large corporation, make your home work and decide on Microsoft or Java/EJB/J2EE platform (however you should consider vendor dependence minimization, and stake on both with XML streams integration between the two). In this small article we will concentrate on Microsoft Great Plains, former Great Plains Software Dynamics/eEnterprise/Great Plains Accounting

• Database Platform. Current trends in the IT applied science are biased toward reliable and standard database platform. If you look at such product as SAP (Abap) or Navision (C/Side native database). This is probably reflection of the future multiple OS harmony: Linux, Windows, Unix systems will coexist communicating via XML (pure text) inbound and outbound streams. We’d say you should be looking for ERP which sits in the standard database: Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, Ingress, Sybase, Unidata. SQL is the survivor and it will stay for a very long time. It should be possible to query your data via SQL queries - this will make your life easier when you face integration, customization and reporting needs. Microsoft Great Plains uses MS SQL Sever.

• ERP Maturity. Each application has its lifecycle: from inception and initial fighting for the “place under the sun”, to maturing and then slowly or rapidly declining. Great Plains Software Dynamics, which is prototype of our days Microsoft Great Plains was released in 1994-95 as the first Graphical Accounting/MRP application, working on the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Plus Great Plains Dexterity - Dynamics platform was designed as both computer graphical platform as well as database platform independent (to some extent of course, especially when we talk about tuning it to the database platform for performance reason). So, technically Microsoft Great Plains has 10 years of history and is currently in the maturity phase.

• International Aspects. If you are in the USA - you should know these facts about Microsoft Business Solutions. First jewel, that was bought by Microsoft was Great Plains Software, in fact Doug Burgum, GPS leader was old friend of Bill Gates. Few years before acquisition by Microsoft GPS bought Solomon Software, its old and major competitor. Currently Microsoft Solomon is targeted to Project Oriented Business - Construction, Consulting, etc. Few years after Great Plains acquisition, Microsoft Business Solutions purchased Denmark based Navision Software. Navision had long presence in the USA, especially in the manufacturing ERP market. But, as we believe - and this is our private opinion - Navision acquisition allowed Microsoft to gain substantial portion of the European ERP market. We think that if you are in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East, Latin America and your are not a construction company - then Great Plains is good choice for you.

• Industries. Microsoft Great Plains should be considered as ERP platform ready for tuning to your business needs and so, you should make your decision if you would prefer customization or purchasing so-called rich-functionality ERP. Great Plains is the platform for the customization. It fits to all the spectrum of industries: apparel, medical, pharmaceutical, distribution, logistics, aerospace, defense, wholesale, metals, chemicals, retail to name a few.

Good luck with selection, implementation, customization and integration and if you have issues or concerns - we are here to help! If you want us to do the job - give us a call 866-528-0577 or 630-961-5918! help@albaspectrum.com

You are in urgent need of money just a week after you got the salary. You rush for a payday loan but find that some documents are not available that very time to show or fax them to the lender. No fax payday loan does this rescue work for you as this type of loan availing system does not require the borrower to fax any papers to the lender. The simple and hassle free manner of getting no fax payday loans makes it the most attractive of all other payday loans.

To avail no fax payday loans all a borrower needs to have is a bank account in which salary of the borrower is paid in and the bank must be equipped with direct debit facility. All you do is just fax necessary details to the lender and you get the loaned amount the next business day in your bank account.

No fax payday loan providers do not ask for any collateral as their loaned money is already secured in the form of the post-dated cheque. The post-dated cheque serves the purpose of collateral. The lender will draw his loaned amount back from the borrower’s salary account by presenting the cheque. Thus the day borrower receives his pay cheque; he automatically pays off his no fax payday loan.

Borrowers can get a no fax payday loan anywhere in the range of ₤40 to ₤800. The loan should only be used for those needs, which were to be fulfilled through the salary amount. Any loan that is bigger than your salary may create troubles for you. You would take a longer time to pay back loan to the lender and therefore higher outgo in the form of the interest.

The loan is availed generally for a week or a month. One should keep the payday loan term as short as possible and pay it off at the first opportunity because of the very high interest rate involved in it. The rate of interest remains very high in payday loans because the lenders want to earn more in a short period.

No fax loan is designed for a quick approval of the loan still you have to be careful while filling application online. A misspelled word and that is enough for the finance company’s computer to reject the application. If every detail is found correct and in place, the no fax loans are approved within one hour. The borrower gets the loan amount next day of the approval in his account.

Do a lot of searching online so that you choose the best service provider and interest rate.

No fax payday loans though are tailored for salaried people so that they get money quickly, still the loan should be taken with some caution. The loan amount and high interest rate are crucial from the point of view of the borrower.

It’s always good to save money on your vacations and with cheap hotels in Miami you can do just that. By booking low cost hotel or hostel accommodation you’ll be able to save yourself quite a tidy sum and spend more time getting out enjoying yourself. If you’re not sure where to start looking then try using an online hotel directory. These work in a similar way to price comparison websites by comparing rooms and prices so you can make a choice. All you have to do is type in the dates you want to reserve a hotel in Miami and the directory will bring up a list of hotels for you to look at. You can go through the list and read a brief description of each hotel. If you see a hotel that looks interesting just click on its name to get more details. Don’t worry, you don’t actually have to book yet, this is just to get more information, and this is where you can read about the tariffs and services. Once you’re satisfied that you’ve found a bargain you can go through to the booking page to put down your deposit. It’s very quick and easy to book online.

And if you enjoy traveling you might be interested in a Chase Travelplus card . It’s an airline mileage credit card which means if you use it to book your flights you get points added to your account. By using your card to book flights, buy gas, or book certain accommodation, you’ll accrue airline mileage points. Once you’ve accumulated enough points you can exchange them for treats, of more flights if you prefer. Your card issuer will give you a list of car rental companies and motels which participate in the scheme, so if you use their services you’ll also get points added to your card. In no time you’ll have enough points to treat yourself to something nice.

The Scripture below is very special to all of us. We are aware that God heals our bodies. We also need to be aware the He heals our broken hearts.

Ps 147:3
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (KJV)

He not only heals our broken heart, he binds up our wounds. Think back over your life. How many heart wounds we have all had? But thank God that he comes through with a healing for our hearts so we can carry on for him and our families.

The pain all of you have felt in your lives is staggering. But think again. The Bible says Jesus was touched with the feeling of our infirmities.

Heb 4:15
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (KJV)

Infirmities, here, translates a Greek word that is a combination of two words. It combines the Greek negative with the word for strength. In the above verse it means the absence of strength. It means no strength at all.

In other words, when we have heart wounds to the breaking point, we are drained of strength. We are drained of the will to go on. This is a helpless, hopeless feeling. This is the meaning of the above expression, the feeling of our infirmities. It is a weakness we actually feel.

No matter what we must go through, Jesus has already “been there and done that.” He knows from personal experience our hurts, our wounds, our pains and our feelings of no strength to carry on.

Jesus has been tempted and/or tried in all the same points where we have been tempted and/or tried. He has felt what you have felt and has made it through. Consequently, he heals those of us who are broken in heart and then He binds up our wounds.

How good to know that Jesus understands us. How good to know that he can identify with us when we pain and grieve. He was indeed touched with the feeling of our infirmities. How good to know that we can identify with him in this.
