titleOffshore Banking - Extra Services Private Banks Offer That You Never Knew Existed!/titlepProducts offered by banks around the world are broadly the same, though they often go under different names. However, there are products you might come across in the offshore arena that you may not be entirely familiar with. In fact, you may not have known that such wondrous possibilities existed!  Here are a few definitions and explanations./ppustrongSafe Deposit Boxes/strong/u/ppA safe deposit box is a locked box reserved for you in the vault of your bank. Its a place where you can keep small, high-value items. People typically use safe deposit boxes for documents such as physical stocks or bonds, or for small, high value goods that they want to keep safe… like valuable coins, jewelry or maybe a stash of microchips. You might keep these items for pure investment purposes - say gold bullion or uncut rough diamonds - or for more sentimental reasons (your great-grandmothers wedding jewelry for example)./ppTypically you will keep the keys to the box, while the bank controls access to the vault where all the boxes are located. Normally the bank does not keep a duplicate key… so if you lose the key you will have to pay for a specialist locksmith to come in and break open the box, then youll have to buy the bank a new box too. Needless to say this is expensive, so do take care of your keys!/ppustrong/ppMulti-Currency Accounts vs. Multiple Currency Accounts/strong/u/ppDifferent banks (and different countries) maintain different accounting systems./ppemMulti-currency accounts/em are quite common in offshore banks. These are very flexible in that they allow you to keep many different currencies in the same account. You have just one account number, but when you look at your statement on the internet you will see different balances… X amount of US dollars, Y amount of Euros etc. If you send a transfer to a multi-currency account, the bank will typically keep the deposit in the currency received, rather than converting it to any particular default currency./ppOther banks also allow you to hold balances in different currencies, but operate on a different system - a separate account number for each currency. This means that, if you wish to operate in a number of different currencies, you need to maintain multiple accounts. The net result is basically the same, but you will have a series of account numbers and you must take care not to confuse them. For example, if you send US dollars to the Euro account number, the bank will assume you want to convert that balance to Euros and will do so without informing you./ppustrong/ppPrecious Metals Storage/strong/u/ppMany prudent investors have invested in assets like gold and silver and have made huge returns on their money over the past few years as commodity prices have shot through the roof. Perhaps strangely, however, if you ask the average banker how to buy gold, they dont know - so they will tell you it is not a good investment. Sometimes it pays  to be insistent!/ppSome banks offer a basic service where you can buy gold and simply store it in your safe deposit box. This certainly works, but may not be the most practical way of handling it. Why? Because each time you want to buy or sell, you have to visit the bank personally. Only you have access to your box. Fine if its around the corner, but not if its around the world./ppThere are various other practical ways of buying gold such as Perth Mint Certificates or Exchange Traded Funds, but the security of such investments in the current financial climate is debatable. There is really no substitute for cold, hard gold in a secret secure vault!/ppHowever for the purposes of this article and understanding offshore banking products generally, suffice to say its important to understand the difference between allocated storage, and unallocated - also known as pooled storage. Both these systems are used by private offshore banks./ppAllocated means that a certain piece of metal (specific gold bars, coins or whatever) belongs to you. The metals are stored in the banks general vault, rather than in a specific safe deposit boxes, but they are specifically allocated as your assets. For practical purposes, therefore, you can instruct the bank to buy and sell on your behalf without you having to travel there./ppUnallocated or pooled storage means that the bank simply has X amount of gold in its vault, and allocates so many grams, ounces or kilos to your account as part of a book-keeping exercise. But the banker cannot in this case take you down to the vault and point out your specific gold bar. Again you can instruct the bank to buy and sell on your behalf./ppAllocated storage of course is better, but pooled storage tends to work out a lot cheaper in terms of the actual fees the bank charges for taking care of the metals in its vault./ppustrongNumbered Accounts/strong/u/ppNumbered accounts (or empseudonymous accounts/em, which are the same but are known by code words instead of numbers) are not all that different from normal bank accounts. The usual account records, such as statements and what regular bank staff can see in their computers, omit reference to the customers name or other identifying information, replacing it with a code number or the pseudonym. The relationship between the code number or pseudonym and the actual customer is known only to a few senior managers within the bank./ppIt is important to emphasize that the bank has an obligation to know the true identity of both the account holder and its beneficial owner. There is no such thing as an anonymous account./ppTypically the way numbered accounts work these days is that you will have a numbered account and a regular account in the same bank. Numbered accounts cannot normally be used for regular transactions such as wire transfers or checking. So when you want to make a deposit or withdrawal, your private banker will personally carry out a cash transaction at the counter between the two accounts. In the accounting records, the transaction will appear on your personal account as a cash deposit or withdrawal, so there will be no direct link to your numbered account./ppOf course, within reason and subject to normal limits, you can carry out cash transactions directly on the numbered account./ppstrongu/ppBrokerage Accounts/u/strong/ppA regular bank or cash account is simply used for depositing and transacting in a currency such as pounds, dollars or francs. Your brokerage account, however, can be used for buying stocks, funds and other investments on the world markets. The brokerage account may be stand-alone, or may be linked to your offshore bank account in the same institution. Either way, you will typically have to transfer funds from the cash account to the brokerage account before you can buy stocks./ppustrongOffshore Credit and Debit Cards/strong/u/ppAlmost all offshore banks will offer you the option of linking some kind of plastic payment card to your account. This may be anything from an unbranded hole-in-the-wall cash card through to a premium travel and entertainment card like the Platinum American Express or Diners Club cards. The most common brands, of course, are Visa and MasterCard, and there are even more variations on these cards than there are banks in the world!/ppYou personal banker will be happy to explain the range of cards available and what are the principal differences between products like emdebit cards, deferred debit cards, secured credit cards/em and so on./ppWhat your banker will not explain, however, is that you may well be able to enhance your privacy by obtaining a card from a completely different bank./ppWhy? Because the moment you use a card issued in your name by your principal offshore bank, you are creating a permanent electronic trail in the systems of the card network operator (for example Visa). So your banking records are no longer exclusively held by your offshore bank. The card networks typically process data all over the world, exposing it to numerous jurisdictions where investigators might be tempted to go on fishing trips./ppstrongu/ppAnonymous Cash Cards/u/strong/ppLike numbered accounts, anonymous cash cards do still exist, but there is a lot of hearsay and legend surrounding them. Here are the facts./ppBy anonymous cash card we refer to a plastic card which, together with a PIN code, can be used for withdrawing cash in automated teller machines around the world. It can also be used sometimes in merchants such as supermarkets, but acceptance is generally limited to certain locations. Its anonymous because, unlike normal credit and debit cards, there is no name printed on the card nor encoded on the magnetic strip./ppIt is not 100% anonymous, however. You do have to show ID to obtain such a card in the first place, and you also have to comply with all regular know your customer and due diligence rules. There are also strict withdrawal limits. These restrictions are necessary to make sure the card issuing bank operates legally and to ensure that the cards are not abused by money launderers./ppThere is one very, very big advantage to the anonymous cash card. That is when you use it internationally, the transaction is processed only based on the card number. The card network operator does not know who you are. The due diligence information (like passport copy) that you have provided is stored safely offshore in the card issuers office, away from prying eyes and protected by strict banking privacy laws. This is in stark contrast to regular international debit cards which have names not just printed on the card but also embedded in the magnetic strip so the name can be captured electronically./ppAnother advantage of the anonymous cash card is that should it fall into the wrong hands, the loss is minimal.  ID theft is not possible when the card is anonymous! Without the PIN (which hopefully you have stored only in your head) the card is useless. There is no chance somebody could empty out your offshore account before you notice the card is missing. And, because its a stand-alone card, there is no chance that somebody could find out even the country, let alone the actual bank, where your principal offshore account is held. All you have to do is make one phone call and the card can be canceled and replaced./ppFinally, another advantage is legally avoiding reporting requirements. Anonymous cash cards do not class as a bank account. They are regarded as prepaid products, something between the electronic equivalent of a travelers cheque and a prepaid phone card. So if your country requires you to report offshore accounts, you dont need necessarily need to report an offshore anonymous cash card. Note: this report is prepared for a global readership. Some countries may have differing rules in this regard. If you are not sure about the reporting requirements in your country of residence, please check with your local tax authorities or a professional qualified in your jurisdiction./ppYou might be wondering how, if the card is not linked to your principal bank account, you can withdraw money from it? Simple: it is a prepaid product. You prepay, by means of an offshore wire transfer, an amount you are likely need over the period you determine. You can keep these transfer amounts relatively low so they remain under the radar./ppGlobal entrepreneur Peter Macfarlane is an author and lecturer on offshore finance, investment, due diligence and wealth creation matters. After fifteen years advising high net worth clients on offshore asset protection structures such as companies, trusts and private interest foundations, he decided on a career change and now mentors individuals who are interested in creating, preserving and growing wealth in a secure offshore environment.

titleForest For the Trees - The Unrecognized Financial Exposure Employees Face/titlepThe news is full of stories about increasing health care costs or the uninsured population. However, the real story is that benefits packages are being cut, and out of pocket expenses for employees are increasing. In short, when it comes to benefits, employee financial exposure is rising. How did this happen? It is a simple case of forest for the trees. In this article we will walk through how to calculate your employees average financial exposure and explore what options exist to allow your employees to protect themselves./ppBased on common health and disability benefit packages, many employees making $45,000.00 a year have a total financial exposure of $9,000.00 or more. This exposure increases significantly with higher incomes, increased waiting periods for long-term disability, or even worse - no long -term disability plan is provided at all./ppFinancial exposure is particularly concerning for those people who make less than $80,000.00 annually, have little savings, live paycheck to paycheck, and are often in debt. For these people, the financial impact of a serious illness or off-the-job accident can be devastating./ppThe question is, how is it that no one has calculated, and presented the total financial risk to the employee?/ppEvery year at enrollment, employees are given packets describing what their benefit choices are, and if there is a significant change in their benefits they probably see a presentation detailing those changes. Missing in all of this is a calculation as to what an employees total exposure would be given a serious illness or off the job injury. This makes it difficult for the employee to figure out how much they need in savings or assets to cover their total financial exposure. It also makes it difficult for the employee to make educated choices about how to take action and protect themselves./ppMajor medical benefits are presented separately from disability benefits. The information is there, but the math to calculate total financial exposure is not. The exposure is highlighted, but abstract. I finally took it a step further and did the math to come up with a formula that will produce hard numbers./ppHere is how to calculate the average financial exposure per employee in your organization:/ppDetermine the deductible for major medical/ppFigure out what the co-insurance and yearly out of pocket maximum is./ppDetermine the waiting period before long-term disability benefits start to pay./ppCalculate your employees average monthly salary, and multiply that by 60% to figure out how much income needs to be replaced in the case of a total disability./ppNow you have the information to determine what your employees average exposure is. Plug the figures into the following formula:/ppMedical Deductible + Medical Out of Pocket Max Per Year+ ((Average Monthly Salary x 60%) x Number of Months Without Disability Coverage)= Average Employee Financial Exposure/ppExample:/ppMedical Deductible: $250.00/ppOut of Pocket Maximum Per Year: $2,000.00/pp60% of the Average Monthly Salary (based on $45k/yr): $2250.00/ppWaiting Period for Disability (Income to be Replaced): 3 months/pp$250.00 + $2000.00 + ($2250 x 3 months) = $9,000.00 Total/ppAs you can see, exposure will increase as the average salary goes up and as the waiting period for long term disability increases. Also, keep in mind that the above assumes that the disability plan provided by the employer replaces 60% of the employees income. If this is not the case exposure will increase even more. Just for your information, if the waiting period for long-term disability is 180 days or 6 months, the above average financial exposure increases to $15,750.00./ppWhat can you, the employer, do to provide employees protection to cover this financial exposure without significantly increasing costs? Offering voluntary or supplemental insurance is the only real answer for the time being. Depending on the income to be replaced, an employee can often protect their assets, or lack there of, for about $30-$60 per month./ppOne of the great advantages supplemental insurance products offer is that they are highly focused and individualized. Supplemental insurance allows employees to adjust their protection to the level of coverage they need, while focusing on the areas they are most exposed based on lifestyle, age, and general level of health. Supplemental insurance is very specific with products like accident, disability, cancer, critical illness, and life insurance./ppOnce you have figured out your employees average exposure, you have to ask yourself a few questions. Do your employees have all the information regarding their financial exposure, and do they fully understand it? Given your knowledge of your employees, and the cost of living in your area, do you think that your employees have the resources to cover their financial exposure in the case of a serious illness or off the job accident? Finally, do you think it is your responsibility as an employer to offer your employees the opportunity to protect themselves by offering them a broad range of supplemental insurance products that will reduce their exposure where they need it most? After all it is no real cost to you the employer. However, it is up to you, the employer, to decide how important this issue of employee financial exposure is./ppZach Poitra owns and operates NW Voluntary Insurance in Seattle, WA, a target=_new href=http://www.nwvoluntaryinsurance.comhttp://www.nwvoluntaryinsurance.com/a NW Voluntary Insurance Specializes in Supplemental Insurance.

With the rising cost of living almost everyone is looking for ways to save money. No wonder, it seems that most of us are struggling to make ends meet or we simply do not have anything left over for fun. And life should be enjoyable!

Since eating a priority for all of us I thought it would be a good idea to prepare a report about how to save money on groceries, and no, this is not about clipping coupons. I am not against using coupons but that is only one way to save money and most of us are aware of that option. Either we use coupons religiously or we simply do not have an interest in it at all.

So what I want to share with you are basic ways to save money and cut costs from your grocery expenses. To begin I think we need to start with the simple concept that cooking saves you money. By cooking your meals you will save on the costs involved with eating out or with convenience foods. This also means that you should cut back on recreational eating, or snacking.

Additionally you will be eating healthier. Another advantage is that you are likely to lose a few pounds simply because you will be more in control of what you and your family consume. It is a good idea to consider using a slow cooker or crock pot.

This allows you to use cheaper cuts of meat and still eat nutritiously. Plus, the food will be delicious and the cooker will take the work off of you. In fact, you can start the meal in the slow cooker early in the morning and it will be finished about supper time.

If you really want to save money at the grocery store your efforts need to begin before you leave home. First things first, check to see what items you need. The reason for this is that you do not need to spend money on what you already have plenty of. If you purchase too much of an item it may become stale or sour before you can use it.

A good tip is to keep a running list of needed grocery items as well as other essentials. Keep this list in a handy location that all family members can add to. Then when someone eats the last bowl of cereal or drinks the last of the orange juice they can add that to your list.

If you are concerned that some members of your household might add unwanted items to the list then consider creating a list of items with a box next to them. Then the box can simply be checked. This allows you to always be in control of what is on that list.

Another step to take before leaving home is to eat. I know that sounds silly but believe me, you will buy more groceries and lots of nonessential food items if you are hungry when you shop.

One other step before leaving home is that of planning a menu for the week. This can be basic but even so it will help guide you to buy only what you need for the week. After you have a menu and the running list of things needed you can create your actual grocery shopping list.

You may not always have a choice about this but I suggest that you shop alone whenever possible. The reason is that you are trying to accomplish a goal; your goal is to buy what you need and save money at the same time. If you take along children or a partner you may find that it is more difficult to stick with that goal.

While shopping you should always focus on real food items instead of the convenience foods and snack items. In almost all grocery stores you will find the real food items around the perimeter of the store. I am referring to things like produce and meat as well as dairy products.

Use your list to help you stay focused. Your job is to get what you came for and get out of the store. Avoid the items that are on special displays and at the check out. Impulse buying is almost never a good idea.

Speaking of which, you should only shop on the aisles that will have something you need; always focus on what you came for. Buy items that are on sale whenever you find a match to your list. Check labels for ingredients and compare various brands, including store brands and any brands you are not familiar with. A cheap price is not a good deal if the purchase will not be consumed.

Forex trading system software can be expensive, worthless and can cost you a lot of money. Before we get into forex trading system software, let’s discuss the basics of forex trading.

Forex is short for foreign exchange market. Forex is an investment wheel which deals with the authorized exchange of one currency for another form of currency. Brokers are required to keep track of all forex transactions that involve an exchange of currency. It doesn’t matter of the customer uses a check, a investment, or a bank exchanging currency.Accredited brokers track all legal currency transactions that occur on the exchange.

Many currency exchanges are happening everyday illegal and legal. Still, it is only considered legal when recognized by the CFTC which is an acronym for Commodities Future Trade Commission. Many unadvised exchanges that take place exist outside the forex trading legality, typically consist of single investor trades. Even though an unadvisable method, it happens everyday around the clock for many many reasons.

Let’s go over one of the foreign currency exchange market differences. The Forex is an investing market but it differs from the stock market in many ways. Forex trading is a huge, international trade market, and it is effected more than stock trading. Which means, if the stock market is doing horrible like it has been lately, the forex market will not be affected by this. They do not work hand and hand. There is definitely more money to be earned in the Forex market as opposed to the stock market. It is the largest market in the world which see’s more than 3 TRILLION dollars in trades per day! Most of the trillions of dollars though are coming from large financial institutions such as large corporations or banks, single investors make up a small amount of the trade market.

The forex has a huge advantage over the stock exchange because it is not regulated heavily like the stock exchange. There may be a few huge accredited financial institutions monitoring the forex market. Which means since there is no regulation, there is no telling how much money you can earn easily! You need to jump right into the system before it gets regulated and earn all your money while you can before it is to late.

I have been trading forex currency for over 10 years. The dangers of forex trading are so minuscule compared to the rewards. You really need to live on the edge and take a chance by investing in forex trading. There are many free courses out there that will train you exactly on how to trade in this highly profitable market. You can throw your 9-5 day job out the window and just strictly invest in forex trading. I am averaging over $300,000 dollars a year. I have developed one of the best forex trading education simple to use systems out on the market. There is no need for a forex trading robot, they make mistakes and are not human. You may lose so much money if you decide to go this route.

Autoresponders, which are basically, automated email messages, are powerful communication, marketing and sales tools. They let you automatically reply to incoming email requests, so you can instantly respond to the needs of existing and potential customers.

Consider this: Sixty percent of a site’s visitors who eventually end up buying a product or service don’t do so on their first visit, says Autoresponder Review.com. In fact, 80 percent of all sales are made on the 5th through 12th contact with a prospect, according to the National Sales Executive Association. More specifically, the association reports that:

•2 percent of sales are made on the 1st contact

•3 percent of sales are made on the 2nd contact

•5 percent of sales are made on the 3rd contact

•10 percent of sales are made on the 4th contact

•80 percent of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact

Benefits Of Using Autoresponders
Autoresponders operate independently of your regular email program and can send out information requested through an e-mail inquiry or online form. You can use autoresponders with or without a Web presence and integrate them with other online and offline communications tools.
With autoresponders, you can literally put certain functions of your business on autopilot. And this can save your countless hours of manual messaging. It can also help you save hundreds to thousands of dollars in printing and postage each year.
For example, sending 2000 ebrochures as autoresponder attachments can save you close to $1,000 in printing costs - not to mention creative, production and postage fees. Imagine the savings if you also used autoresponder to fill requests for sales catalogs, product guides, manuals, etc.

How to Take Advantage of Autoresponders
There are a number of ways you can use autoresponders to boost your business operations, including:
Sales - Send personalized, pre-scheduled messages to sales prospects, so you can follow up with them over the coming days, weeks and months. Include information about special offers, important company news and new products and services.
Customer Service - Use autoresponders to send out commonly requested information about your company, products and pricing, as well as forms, catalogs, samples and electronic brochures. Simply have requesters send a blank email to an autoresponder that will, in turn, deliver the information as an attachment or provide instructions for downloading.
Training - Set up automated email courses and electronic workshops to make it easy for existing and potential customers to learn more about your business. This can work to enhance future sales.
General Correspondence - Send out courtesy autoresponses to confirm the receipt of all incoming email requests and let requesters know when they can expect to receive a personalized response from you. Sending out immediate response can help you retain existing customers and generate new ones.

As with everything in life, things go up and things go down. And then they go up again and down again. You can liken it to a wave which goes up and down, or to a glass of water you set down on a flat surface. If you knock the glass, the water is disturbed but, in time, it will once again level out.

The past two weeks I have been asked about the financial future of this country more than at any time since I started teaching financial literacy. I am NOT a financial advisor in any capacity (nor do I wish to be) but I can say this: some things stay the same and some things change and the more we understand that this ’situation’ is just a situation and we don’t all go off the deep end, the better off it will be in the long run.

What I mean is, the basic financial principles that govern whether a person ends up financially free have not changed:

Pay Yourself First
Put Your Money To Work For You
Only Borrow Money When It’s Going To Make You Money
If You Can’t Afford It In Cash, You Can’t Afford It At All
Helping Others is Helping Ourselves

and my all-time favorite…

Your Thoughts, Beliefs and Attitudes Determine Your Wealth Potential

Then what changes?

Well, WHERE and HOW to put your money to work. HOW to borrow and FROM WHOM when it IS going to make money for you and HOW not to let what is currently going on influence your long term financial strategies and the systems that you have in place.

Again, I am no financial expert, but it seems to me that it’s just a hiccup; maybe a big hiccup for some but a hiccup just the same. Just like all of the other financial hiccups that have happened since the beginning of time, and the beginning of the stock market. It’s interesting to note the stock market time line of events since it started back in 1792 when 24 men signed an agreement that launched the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). There have been some pretty major events in its history and yet, over time, it has always gone up. For a little stock market history lesson, click here!

Will some people suffer? Yes.
Will some businesses fail because they made poor business choices? Yes.
Will some people make a lot of money at the expense of others losing a lot? Yes.
Do you have a choice in how you are going to respond to the situation? Yes.
Do you have the opportunity, just like the rest of the people in this country, to take advantage of the situation at hand and make some money? Of course you do.

The question is, WILL you?

So in answer to my simple yet important question “Where do we go from here?”, my advice is as follows:

1) Don’t get too upset about it.
2) Seek professional advice from someone you trust before you make any rash decisions about moving your money.
3) Keep teaching your kids about money and give them every opportunity to practice with it. Don’t know how? Get The Ultimate Allowance.
4) Keep spending less than you make.
5) Keep your eyes open for opportunities.
6) Take care of your health.
7) Watch an inspiring movie or read a great book.
Keep a handle on your thoughts because they really do create things.
9) Remember to stay focused on your future. There is a very good reason the front window in your car is bigger than the rear view mirror.

This is the perfect time to make sure your children are getting a clear picture (or as clear a picture as possible) about what is happening. Regardless of how you feel about the situation, the bailout, what will happen to the value of our dollars, etc., this is a great time to talk to your kids about business decisions and how financial decisions can affect an entire country.

Talk to them about how some business decisions may bring you a lot of money in the short term but can turn around and bite you in the tush later on. Talk to them about systems and strategies. Ask them questions instead of giving them your opinions so they will share their own opinions with you. You never know what may come out of their mouths when they are given an opportunity to simply converse instead of defending their positions.

And finally, listen to my mother who always said…

“There, there. This too shall pass.”

Thanks Mom.

You know it very well that once you go for loans in your scarcities, it becomes a habit. It takes such a bad shape that you tend to take loans for each small or big need for fund. As a result, many of you build up quite a poor credit score due to your inability of repaying all these loans together. The situation takes such a worst position that later on you do not find any way to get out of the debts. So, in such conditions you should adopt the proper ways to get out of the debts and the finance debt consolidation is one best way for such situations.

As these loans consolidate or merges multiple debts into one that is why these are known as the debt consolidation loans. The role that it plays in a borrower’s life is simply undeniable. In a way, these loans bring life back to one. It allows the borrower to unite all debts that he is having and that is why; one should approach these loans only when he has more than two debts. Consequently, the repayable amount too should not be less than £5,000.

Based on the differences between the types of the borrowers these loans are available in two forms, secured and unsecured. The secured loans are for the homeowner as they can pledge collateral and the unsecured loans are for the non-homeowners. The advantages that one can enjoy in the secured loans are that the rate of interest in it is lower and the amount offered is bigger.

People with bad credit record too will get the chance to repay their loans through the finance debt consolidation. Based on their ability they can approach any of the two forms of loan and enjoy the benefits associated with the particular loan. Generally, a person may have credit records like late payment, bankruptcy, CCJs, skipping of installments or arrears and all those are being allowed in these loans.

Private equity investors fall into the same investing category as venture capitalists. They give financial help and practical guidelines to new ventures in exchange for equity. But venture capitalists put money into novice projects expecting to receive a significant profit in the long term, while private equity funding firms consider more developed ventures that allow them to have a clear exit strategy.

Equity funding firms invest in fewer projects and intend to increase their profit margins by selling off the company or going public within in less than ten years. Company owners often get more money and deal with less red tape if they take the private equity route rather than going public.

You need to know about the two major categories of business funding. It is debt funding and equity funding. Both financing options have their good side and their bad side; making it easier to find the investor that fits your business in the optimal ways.

Debt funding refers to money that is borrowed and has to be repaid over a period of time with interest. Debt funding can be either short term or long term. Short-term debt funding requires the loan to be repaid within a year. Long-term debt funding involves repayments for more than twelve months. With debt funding your only responsibility to your lender is to pay back your loan. Banks and traditional lenders are the chief sources of debt funding. You will have to make repayments with interest every month with debt funding.

Equity funding is the barter of money for a share of business. This enables you to secure financing for your company without taking on the burden of a debt. The sale of equity means taking on investors. Many small businesses obtain equity by bringing in investors to make their business succeed and get a profit on their investment.

The principal advantages of equity funding are that you do not have to pay back your investors even if your company goes bankrupt. Your business resources are not required to secure equity. A business with adequate equity will seem better to lenders, investors, etc. Because you do not have to make debt repayments your business will have more cash on hand.

The main disadvantage is that you will have to surrender ownership and a share of your businesses profit to other investors. The investors may have plans and ideas that are different from yours. And you can’t claim payments to investors back against tax.
