Business and Finance Analysis

Most people have multiple debts and payments. We all know that we have a mortgage, car loan, card … But what almost nobody knows is how much money you actually how much time is left to pay and at what cost (interest rate) is paying those debts.

It is very appropriate that we keep a tight check on these data, to know at any time if our situation allows us to meet these debts.

Reports and to request a payment plan

The first thing we do is a list of all loans that we have, other periodic debts and insurance payments will be addressed (taxes, incidentals, etc..) Some of these debts relate to loans for which we paid interest and others do not.

Debt interest

For example, among the debts with interest are: mortgage, car loan, personal loan (for any expenses) and credit card.
Interest-free debts

Debts without interest but we have to pay monthly or other intervals, but we can plan because we know that exist, include: income tax, vehicle tax, tax on the rateable value, shares of the residents, vehicle insurance, home insurance and personal, car reviews (ITV, maintenance …) and so on.

Contingencies

And there will be another section of contingency, we can take into account, and which, although it is uncertain, we can sense in our experience. This is wise not to fall short in forecasting and to provide a sufficient contingency expense (if less then, that money already spent on other things.)

When you ask anyone how to make money a bank will respond to granting loans, investing in securities … that’s true, but many do not know that the biggest source of profits for banks are the commissions. It can be said that banks and charge fees for absolutely everything.

The committees are established by each institution, in consultation with the Bank of Spain to ensure that meet certain requirements and comply with the law.

Must be necessary, ie to respond to a service and not covered by another product contracted by the client, must be communicated to customers and posted on the bulletin boards of offices, are not abusive (on this should be discussed much) can not be charged for transactions carried out by failure or negligence of the entity can not be cashed in if there are no contracts and can not exceed a fixed amounts (eg 1% cancellation rate mortgages variable).

Bank charges are applied more

The commissions that normally apply are: for transferring money, to keep accounts, to withdraw money from cash, to have cards, study and / or create a credit, cancel, for having an overdraft.

Actually, it is difficult to escape them. The only thing we can do is compare the different entities and seek the lowest commission, because although in theory the commissions should have the degree of marketability, consumers often do not find ourselves in a strong position against the entity.

In recent years, the housing market in Spain has enjoyed spectacular growth, both in terms of houses built and from the sales data from new and existing homes. This large increase was reflected in a large increase in the number of mortgage loans requested and granted. Credit institutions have seen and their profit rates reflected significant growth.

But with the slowdown in sales due to economic uncertainty, the high housing prices and the oversupply of housing, there has also been a decline in the number of mortgage applications.

Banking institutions in order to meet their objectives in terms of volume of loans, are forced to adopt new strategies to attract customers in a market are not as abundant. How? For taking away customers to the competition. If there are no new customers, he will have to convince those already in the mortgage market for transferring their mortgage to our organization: it is what is called subrogation of mortgage.

This war between the entities to grab customers, can be beneficial to the consumer, because the organization must offer more favorable conditions for new mortgages which they had before. On the one hand, some banks offer commission-free mortgages (cancellation, subrogation, etc..).

More advantageous interest including financial compensation that may be a percentage of total mortgage (1% – 2%) or a fixed amount (about 600 €). They also tend to offer the possibility of extending the repayment periods up to 35 or 40 years so that the monthly fees are lower.

A systematic evaluation of all factors essential to the purposes and objectives of your business. Here are some suggested topics you can tailor your plan:

* Vision Statement: It is a concise outline of the aims and objectives of your business.

* People: undoubtedly, the most important ingredient for success is yourself. Focus on how your previous experience will be applied to your new business. Develop a resume of yourself and each person involved in starting the business. Be factual and avoid hype.

This part of your business plan will be read very carefully by those who will interact with you, including lenders, investors and suppliers. Templates for preparing resumes are available in your library, Kinko’s, bookstores and the Internet under “resumes.”

However, it can pretend to be someone who is not. If you lack the ability to perform a key function, include this information in its business plan. For example, if you lack the ability to train staff, explain how to compensate for this deficiency. You can add a partner to your plan (discussed in Section 4) or plan to hire key people who possess the skills you do not have. Include biographies of all potential managers.

Check if your plan includes the following necessary factors that give rise to a successful business.

* A sound business concept. The most common mistake that entrepreneurs make is not picking the right business to start. The best way to learn about your prospective business is to work for someone else in that business before beginning your own. Can be a huge difference between his concept of a fine business and reality.

* Understand your market. A good way to verify that the market is known as a test market your product or service before starting. Think you have a large kite that will capture the imagination of kite fliers in the world? Then, make some of them first hand and try to sell them.

* Industry strong, growing and stable. Remember that some of the greatest inventions of all time, like airplanes and cars, did not result in economic benefit to many who tried to exploit these great advances. For example, the cumulative earnings of all airlines since Wilber Wright flew that first plane are less than zero (the Airline losses have been greater than their profits). Success comes to those who find businesses with great economics and not necessarily great inventions or advances to mankind.

Most people will tell you they never seem to have enough money from payday to payday. These same people will also tell you they don’t know where their money goes. Budget support can help people see exactly where the money goes. Everyone knows that the majority of their money goes to pay rent or a mortgage, taxes, and utilities and food, but where does the extra pocket money go each week?

A simple trick for budget support is for a person to write down every time they spend money in one day. The cup of coffee on the way to work, the candy bar from co-workers who are selling them for their kids school, the magazine, every expense. Once a person see how fast these items add up, they realize it would be better to bring a thermos cup of coffee from home or read the magazine at the local library. Naturally everyone will have different items on their list, but it is a great way to find an extra $10 or $20 a week.

Another good way to save money is to pare down utility bills. Ask the phone company if there is a less expensive plan. Cut the cable TV bill down by going to the basic package, everyone should aim for cutting down just one monthly bill. The savings will be worth the small sacrifice.
