Credit Card Lingo
By Max Hunter
Knowing What’s Out There – And What To Choose
The World of finance can be a tricky game for both the seasoned
veteran and the novice borrower. Banks can – by accident or
design – make even the most simple information seem complicated
and through this unwittingly (or not) induce their customers to
go for products that might not be best suited to their needs.
Credit, charge, ATM and debit cards are not all alike. Although
you might think that they are basically the same thing – a way
of making payment for purchases or means of getting cash – they
are actually quite different. So as to use these cards wisely,
you should know what each one is and how it differs from the
others. Here’s some information to help you choose wisely.
Credit Cards
Credit cards can be a great way of paying for a purchase. They
are easy to apply for, easy to use, and flexible in their
repayment options. However, if you carry a balance, credit
cards can be like very expensive loans.
A credit card works like this: the credit card company supplies
you with a card; you use that card to pay for items and services
up to a certain total amount -- your credit ‘limit.’ The store
or service provider then collects what you owe from the card
issuer, whom you repay. You're then allowed to pay off as much
or almost as little as you like off the balance each month, so
long as you pay a minimum amount each time (usually 2.5 per
cent).
On the outstanding balance you’re charged interest (which can
be as high as 25% or more each year) at the end of each monthly
period, unless you pay the full balance each time your bill
arrives.
Credit cards are immensely profitable for issuers for a variety
of reasons. The high rate of interest yields issuing banks and
companies vast profits – in some cases the bulk of an
institution’s earnings. In addition to the interest, many
companies charge an annual membership fee for a credit card, as
well as a plethora of other charges, including late fees,
over-the-limit fees and other miscellaneous charges. Companies
also profit by charging stores a fee each time a customer uses
a credit card in their establishment.
There are three different types of credit card available:
Unsecured Credit Cards
These cards are commonly made available to those with good
credit history and credit score. These cards require no bank
deposit amounts to secure and usually have no annual fees and
low rate of interest.
Higher Risk Credit Cards
These cards are usually given to people who have a lower paying
job, and/or poor credit history and credit score. Often these
cards charge an activation fee, and also usually charge an
annual fee of up to $80.
Secured Credit Cards
These cards are given to people who have a lower paying job,
and/or a very poor credit history and credit score. Often these
cards require a deposit to be made to the lender, sometimes as
much as near or equal to the amount of credit available on the
card. If the borrower can prove their credit worthiness over
time, that credit limit is then upped. These cards also attract
a high annual fee of up to $100 and charge high rates of
interest.
Charge Cards
Charge cards (also known as travel and entertainment cards) are
slightly from credit cards. The most famous charge cards, such
as American Express and Diners Club, have an unlimited credit
limit. Normally you can charge as much as you like, but you are
required to pay off your balance in full when your bill arrives.
There’s one exception to this: If you charge air fare, cruise
fees or hotel charges booked through a travel agent on an
American Express card, you have an option to pay off your
balance over 36 months. There’s a sting in the tail, however:
you'll be charged around 20 per cent interest and will have to
make minimum monthly payments of $20.
The way charge card companies like American Express make their
profits is by charging very high annual fees – up to $100 – and
by hitting merchants with relatively high charges each time a
customer pays using their card.
If you don't pay your charge card bill in full (unless the
charges are travel expenses on an American Express card),
you'll get a one-month period of grace, when no interest is
charged. Beyond that, however, you'll be charged interest,
which weighs in at about 18 per cent. After about three months,
if your account is still not settled, your account will be
closed and your bill sent to the collections department.
Cash Advances
Some people use their credit or charge cards to obtain cash
advances. This can be an expensive way of accessing cash. Most
banks charge a transaction fee that can be as much as 4% for
taking a cash advance. Interest is also charged from the date
the cash advance is posted, even if it’s paid back in full when
your bill arrives. Moreover, the interest rate is usually higher
on cash advances than on ordinary credit card charges.
ATM & Debit Cards
ATM and debit cards offer most of the same functions as credit
and charge cards, but the crucial difference is that the money
comes out of your bank account straight away. If you don’t have
the money, you can’t buy the product.
For some people this is a preferable option: they like to keep
track of their outgoings, to keep tabs on what they’ve spent,
to avoid any sort of debt – no matter how brief.
There are disadvantages to using debit cards. It doesn’t give
you the option of up to a month to settle your statement. You
also don't have the right to withhold payment with a debit card
(the money is immediately removed from the account) in the event
of a dispute with the merchant over the goods or services paid
for. Some banks and merchants also charge transaction fees for
the use of debit cards.

The "Credit Card Debt Termination" Scam
By Charles Phelan
"Legally terminate credit card debt! You can be debt-free in
4-6 months!" Advertisements like this are for a new type of
program that has spread via the Internet over the past few
years. It's called "Credit Card Debt Termination," and victims
are paying up to $3,500 for this bogus service. In this
article, I'll review the principles behind this program and
explain exactly why it's a scam to be avoided.
First, let's get our definitions straight. The scheme I'm
describing here should not be confused with Debt Consolidation
or Debt Settlement (also known as Debt Negotiation), both of
which are legitimate and ethical methods for debt resolution.
The easiest way to distinguish the Credit Card Debt Termination
scam from other valid programs is based on the central claim
that you really don't owe any money!
With Debt Consolidation, you pay back all of your debt
balances. With Debt Settlement, you pay back a lower amount
(usually around 50%) while the creditor agrees to forgive the
remaining balance. However, with the bogus Credit Card Debt
Termination program, promoters claim that you won't need to pay
anything at all (except their outrageous fees, naturally). They
make the surprising claim that you can legally wipe away your
debts simply by using their super-duper magic documents. Based
on some legal mumbo-jumbo, the claim is made that you really
didn't borrow any money from your creditors!
In order to understand this scam, a little background is
necessary. Remember the tax protest movement back in the 1970s?
People were claiming that the IRS tax collection system was
unconstitutional, and based on their misinterpretation of the
tax code, they refused to pay taxes. The IRS came down hard on
the tax protest movement, and through the court system, they
blew holes in all the legal arguments put forth by the
protesters. The Credit Card Debt Termination scam is a lot like
the tax protest movement. In fact, among collection
professionals, it's called the "monetary protest movement."
Just like the tax protest movement, there is a common theme
that runs through all of the promotional materials issued by
the monetary protestors. The basic idea is that our Federal
Reserve monetary system and generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) do not permit banks to loan out their own
money. Therefore, according to their interpretation, the credit
card banks are the ones running the scam on the American public.
Stay with me here, because the logic is pretty strange. If a
bank cannot lend its own money, how does a credit card bank
extend credit? The claim here is that your credit card
agreement itself becomes a form of money (known as a promissory
note) the moment you sign it. The idea is that the bank
"deposits" your agreement as an asset on their books, and then
any credit you use is offset as a liability against that asset.
In other words, the core concept here is that you literally
borrowed your own money from the credit card bank.
So let's say your balance with ABC Credit Card Bank is $10,000,
which you borrowed against the card to make everyday purchases.
The scam promoters say all you need to do is notify the bank
that you want your original "deposit" back. However, you will
permit the bank to offset the amount you borrowed against the
amount you have on "deposit." Presto! You don't owe the balance
anymore!
Now, as you can imagine, the banks don't take kindly to such
tactics. Many of the consumers using this technique are getting
sued by their creditors. But the scammers have more tricks
available, as if the "smoke and mirrors" financial nonsense
wasn't enough. One of their techniques is the use of bogus
"arbitration" forums. Arbitration is of course a legitimate
system that allows businesses and individuals to resolve
disputes without going to court. What do the scammers do? They
coach people on how to set up a fake arbitration forum, for the
express purpose of making a dispute against their creditors!
Naturally, the creditors will not send representatives to some
non-existent arbitration forum, so the consumer gets to
rubber-stamp their own arbitration award. If they get sued in a
regular court, they present their bogus award to the judge in
the hopes that the creditor's lawsuit will be dismissed.
There are other techniques used by promoters of this scheme,
but the key point to remember is the central claim that your
credit card debt does not really exist. Of course, it's all
nonsense based on a misinterpretation of our monetary system,
and if you step back and think about for a minute, the truth
seems pretty obvious. What these scammers are saying is that
the entire $700 billion credit card industry is operating on an
illegal basis! Even if the legal theory used by the promoters
were true (which it isn't), do you think for a moment the
government would allow this giant industry to go under? That's
exactly what would happen if the promoter's claims were proven
true and used on a widespread basis.
The Federal Trade Commission, which has jurisdiction here,
hasn't stomped on these con artists yet, but it's only a matter
of time. Unfortunately, in the meanwhile, consumers are being
bilked out of millions of dollars for a worthless program that
will only get them into deep trouble with their creditors. If
you are approached by someone offering to wipe away your debts
using this system, I strongly recommend you run in the other
direction while you hold on tightly to your wallet or purse.
Remember, you can eliminate your debts if you take a
disciplined approach to your finances, make a budget and stick
to it, and don't use your credit cards unless you can pay off
new balances in full each month.
Good luck in your financial future!

Financing Golf Lessons And Equipment
By Kate Ross
Yet, there are some solutions to overcome this problem. It is possible to rent the equipment as well as take free lessons on certain centers across the country. But you can also try and save the money you need to make the purchase or resort to financial solutions to get the lump sum you need and repay it in low and affordable small installments.
Equipment And Prices
A set of clubs can range from three hundreds to several thousands dollars. It really depends on the quality and materials used to make them. However, for starters you can obtain a good set for an average price of five hundred dollars. As regards to balls, a twelve set pack of bolls can cost thirty dollars on average so there is no much to worry about. If you want a trolley to carry the clubs around you need to think about another five hundred dollars. You can obtain cheaper ones but you probably want something that lasts at least a couple of years.
As regards to lessons, they last from 30 minutes to an hour, seldom two. And the prices range from forty dollars to a couple of hundreds depending on the time and the experience of the instructor. There are also packages of lessons that are usually cheaper. You’ll need to shop around to see which solution best adapts to your needs.
Summing up, for the whole combo you’ll need from one and a half thousands dollars to three thousands dollars to start up with golfing. It’s not a low amount, thus, you’ll need to budget carefully if you want to save the money within a short period of time. Depending on your income it may take anything from a couple of months to six months or even a year. Make sure to put at least a small fixed amount aside every month and then whatever additional savings you can come up with.
Resorting to Financial Solutions
Getting a personal unsecured loan is a good idea. There are even special promotions for golfers that are offered by certain financial institutions. In any case, you can shop around for rates and terms that suit your needs on the many online sites offering unsecured personal loans that you’ll find with only a quick search on your favorite search engine.
You can also use your credit card, but using it for such high amounts will probably max it out with the negative consequences that this implies. Thus, unless you think that your credit won’t be compromised by using a credit card or a couple of them for the purchase of the equipment and lessons, we suggest that you consider a personal unsecured loan. They are easy to get and the repayment implies less costs in terms of interests.

Credit Card Equipment
Ever Wonder How Credit Cards Are Made? - Manufacturing Credit Cards: Materials And Processes
By Richard Gilliland
The credit card is made of many plastic layers, laminated together. The center is commonly made from a plastic resin known as polyvinyl chloride acetate (PVCA). This resin is then mixed with other materials, such as dyes and plasticizers to give it the appropriate look and feel.
A variety of inks or dyes, in various colors, are also used for printing credit cards. These inks and dyes are especially made for use on plastic. Special magnetic ink is also available to print the magnetic stripe (magstripe) on the rear side of the card. The inks are made by dispersing metal oxide particles in the appropriate solvents. Card issuers, such as VISA, which have their own holograms, use additional special printing processes which are involved for cards, like VISA, with featured holograms.
The manufacturing of the credit card takes place in the following steps:
1. Plastic compounding and molding: The plastic for the core sheet is made my melting PVCA with other materials. This molten mixture is put in the appropriate molding equipment, and is flattened to the right thickness by passing it through rollers. This sheet is then allowed to cool down.
2. Printing: Each card sheet is then printed with text as well as graphics. Silk screening and magnetic ink printing are the processes used. The magnetic strip can also be created using hot stamping. Magnetic heads are used to code and decode the iron particles in the strip, so that relevant information can be stored in them. However, the magnetic particles can only be useful if they are on the surface of the card, therefore this step is performed after the lamination.
3. Lamination: Essentially, lamination protects the card, and improves its strength. Lamination is done on both sides of the card.
4. Cutting and Embossing: After lamination, each sheet is cut into a set of cards. Each sheet gives a yield of around 63 cards. The sheet is first cut into seven sections longitudinally, and then each of the seven sections is cut into nine cards. Each card is now a separate credit card, and will be embossed with account numbers, and other information. The cards are now ready for shipment to the cardholders! Each card has to be of the premium quality. Customers cannot be given cards which will break or be damaged after a certain period of time. Key quality issues are linked with the compounding of plastic and color matching of the inks. The American National Standards Institute has a standard for plastic raw materials (ANSI specification x4.16-1973). Ingredients have to be correctly weighed, mixed and blended under the proper temperatures and other manufacturing conditions. Similarly, the molding process must be scrutinized to avoid flaws and defects, which could cause the cards to crack or rupture. The final quality check is to make sure the right numbers are stamped on the cards through the embossing process.
The many evolving technologies in this area will help create the credit cards with better quality and make them more cost effective in terms of manufacturing. New generations of credit cards might carry integrated computer chips, containing a variety of valuable information, making the card more useful, as well as secure.

Is There Something Called A Bad Credit Credit Card?
By Terje Ellingsen
Is there something out there called a bad credit credit card?
Well, when a bank or Credit company such as Bank of America,
Washington Mutual or Chase receive an application from you,
they use a statistical system to determine whether or not to
grant credit to you by assigning numerical scores to various
characteristics related to creditworthiness. This means the
creditor's measure of your past and future ability and
willingness to repay your debts. This system is based on your
credit history, which is a record of how you have borrowed and
repaid debts. If this record shows late payments, skipping
payments, exceeding card limits or declaring bankruptcy you are
considered a person with "bad credit".
Then you're condemned, you're hopeless.. Nobody will ever lend
you money or give you a credit card anymore, you may think but
then you should think again. Even people with horrible credit
histories who have been in a financial mess because of previous
debt can get credit card offers. So, the answer to the question
I asked in the beginning of this article is "Yes": You can get
a secured or prepaid credit card.
Banks and other credit companies need customers, even thoses in
a bad financial situation. So these secured or prepaid cards
offers are specifically targeted to help people with poor
credit, so that they too can have all the benefits that follows
such a card.
What distinguise a secured card from an unsecured is that the
card's account is usually related to a savings account. This is
the way the card is secured. Let's say you have $1,000 in your
account, then your credit limit will be $1,000. With this build
in security, you will never be brought into a debt situation
again. After using this card for a while, most banks or finance
companies will gradually grant you credit that exceeds your
saving account balance and you will at the same time repair
your credit history. This bad credit credit card is a great
offer, that you should take advantage of if you have a messy
financial history and want to rebuild your credit.

credit history, which is a record of how you have borrowed and
repaid debts. If this record shows late payments, skipping
payments, exceeding card limits or declaring bankruptcy you are
considered a person with "bad credit".
Then you're condemned, you're hopeless.. Nobody will ever lend
you money or give you a credit card anymore, you may think but
then you should think again. Even people with horrible credit
histories who have been in a financial mess because of previous
debt can get credit card offers. So, the answer to the question
I asked in the beginning of this article is "Yes": You can get
a secured or prepaid credit card.
Banks and other credit companies need customers, even thoses in
a bad financial situation. So these secured or prepaid cards
offers are specifically targeted to help people with poor
credit, so that they too can have all the benefits that follows
such a card.
What distinguise a secured card from an unsecured is that the
card's account is usually related to a savings account. This is
the way the card is secured. Let's say you have $1,000 in your
account, then your credit limit will be $1,000. With this build
in security, you will never be brought into a debt situation
again. After using this card for a while, most banks or finance
companies will gradually grant you credit that exceeds your
saving account balance and you will at the same time repair
your credit history. This bad credit credit card is a great
offer, that you should take advantage of if you have a messy
financial history and want to rebuild your credit.

Inquire about credit card processing equipment and make an informed choice when you decide to purchase.
I. Pervasive Technology
Credit card machines are being used extensively in almost every store and restaurant. These equipments are of great help to businesses as they process credit cards efficiently and securely.

If you are in the market for a credit card processing equipment, there are some simple tips you can follow to help you find the perfect credit card machine that will serve your intended purpose excellently. With the plethora of credit card machine options available, you might find it hard to decide on what credit card machine to buy. Here’s a simple guide to buying a credit card machine.
II. Buying Advice:
1. Buy, Don't Lease
Credit card machines are not really that costly, usually at the $100-$1000 price range. Consider a credit card machine as a worthwhile investment in your business. Although, there are credit card machine leases available from some merchant account providers. Leasing a credit card terminal may cost you much more in the long run than buying your own unit.
2. Get Battery Backup
Be prepared for any eventuality. In case your store or business establishment experiences a power interruption, you would still want to be able to process customer transactions. Buy a credit card machine with a reliable backup battery to ensure that you can continue to do business even when you lose electrical power.
3. Purchase A Credit Card Machine With A Fast Modem
Credit cards are supposed to make transactions faster and more convenient. Thus, a fast modem that can send data and authorize transactions quickly is a top requirement in a credit card machine. You might shell out more for a credit card machine with a 9600-baud modem, but it is worth the money and our customers will definitely appreciate it too.
4. Ensure It Can Handle Smart Cards
Smart cards are becoming increasingly popular and are considered the future of credit cards. Smart cards include credit, debit, and other information in a card with a microchip in it instead of a magnetic stripe.
5. Flash Memory Is Recommended
For better functionality, choose a credit card machine that use flash memory to store the operating software. This will allow for convenient software downloads and installation and increase the longevity of the equipment.
6. Ensure It Can Handle Debit Transactions
Some customers might prefer paying by debit. For this purpose, you will need a credit card machine with a built-in PIN keypad. You can also consider a separate PIN keypad which your customers can access easily while keeping the credit card processing equipment out of reach.
7. Get An Imprinter As A Backup
This could prove useful in case your store or business establishment loses power or phone service. You can still continue to do business even if you are in the field processing customer transactions.

Buying a New Business Phone System
By Jason Morris
Buying a new business phone system is one of the most important purchases any business will ever make. The selection of a phone system can either bring a business closer to its customers and clients or, cause confusion and chaos amongst all that use or interact with it.
It is therefore essential that you choose the right phone system for your business needs. The telephone is quite often the fastest and easiest way to reach customers and clients. It should also be the fastest and easiest way for them to reach you. It should be flexible enough to be able to cover all of your company’s needs and handle all calls appropriately. The last thing any business wants is for its important business callers and customers to be routed incorrectly, disconnected, or faced with a long list of confusing automated options.
There are lots of factors that need to be taken into consideration when choosing a new business telephone system. Below are a few of the main ones:
1. You need enough capacity to fulfil your current business needs.
2. Assess your potential future growth and select a compatible phone system accordingly.
3. Ensure compatibility with any equipment you already own (headsets, handsets, conferencing equipment, cabling etc).
4. What features does your business phone system need to incorporate?
Fulfilling all the factors above and any more you can think of can be an expensive challenge for any business. The aim of this guide is to help you understand what decisions you need to make in order to choose the right phone system for your business.
Types of business phone system
There are three major types of phone system available: KSU-Less phones, Key systems and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems. Which type of phone system you choose will depend on the amount of extensions you require and the features your telephone system needs to have installed.
KSU-Less systems
KSU-Less systems are usually more suited to companies that typically have less than ten employees, or require less than ten extensions. That isn’t to say that all companies requiring less than ten phone extensions can make do with a KSU-Less system. It may be that you require more features which are only available through either a PBX or Key phone system.
Requiring a far lower initial investment than the other types of business phone systems, KSU-Less phones are specifically designed to include many of the features usually only available through the implementation of a full small business phone system.
KSU-Less systems can be easily unplugged and relocated, because they are not permanently wired into your office. This portability allows you to treat a KSU-Less phone system, much the same as any business machine, rather than a lost permanent investment.
You will need to ensure that any KSU-Less system you choose is compatible not only with the type of wiring you have in your office, but also with any accessories you may already have, such as: headsets, answering & fax machines and modems. Because KSU-Less phone systems are relatively inexpensive, they are not usually sold, installed, or maintained by telecoms vendors.
All of this means, you have to go out there and do not only the shopping yourself but, also the installation and support. This is one of the two major drawbacks of KSU-Less systems. The last thing any business needs is to be concerned with the reliability and maintenance of its phone system. Another drawback of KSU-Less systems is that they are more prone to something known as “crosstalk”. This is where separate conversations may blend into each other. With PBX, Key systems and Hybrid systems falling in price, it sometimes makes more sense to invest in a full business phone system, rather than become susceptible to the risks of a KSU-Less system.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems
If your business typically requires more than forty extensions, or your needs dictate you need advanced functions from your business phone system, then PBX systems are often the solution. PBX systems used to be extremely expensive and only affordable by huge corporations with hundreds of extensions. Though this is still the case for larger installations, the development of the technology required has progressed to the point where a powerful, fully functional PBX office phone system for a small business is able to fit on the top of a desk.
Nearly all these compact PBX phone systems come with all the features you might want as standard. You pay a premium for the programmability and flexibility that a PBX offers, but in most cases the price difference is not as much as you may imagine between that of a less flexible phone system.
Key Systems
Key phone systems are more typical in businesses that require five to forty extensions. This type of phone system uses a central control unit called the Key System Unit (KSU) to provide features and functions that are not available using ordinary phones. An example of this is: key systems using a KSU allow one extension to call another in house extension, and prevents any other users from picking up a line that is already in use. Key systems usually come as standard with most features any business would expect, but in some cases they are often less flexible than a PBX phone system.
PBX & Key Systems (hybrids)
Though Key and PBX systems have some different technical features, these differences have become somewhat blurred over the past couple of years. Many Key systems now offer features that were once only available to those who chose to install a full PBX phone system. Some systems also operate internally as either a PBX or Key system depending on the software installed. Sometime these systems are often referred to as “Hybrid” phone systems.
Installation & maintenance of PBX and Key phone systems
PBX and Key phone systems require installation by fully trained and qualified telecoms engineers. All outside and inside lines must connect to the PBX or KSU cabinet. The installation and maintenance of one of these types of phone system can be just as expensive as the phone system itself. In many cases you may be able to use the existing phone lines available in your office, but unless the phones you have been using are relatively new, they may not be compatible with your new system, requiring you to purchase new handsets as well as the system itself.
The Right Size System
It is important that when buying a new business telephone system, that you know your requirements in advance. Knowing what features need to be included with your new telephone system will stand you in good stead when it comes to negotiating with potential suppliers. When considering buying a new telephone system for your business, there are two major factors that determine the size of the system you require:
Lines. These are sometimes called trunks. The number of lines a system has denotes the number of outside lines being used by a company.
Extensions. Most extensions will be made up of handsets. Though any equipment that requires a phone line is classed as an extension. This includes fax machines, modems, and credit card equipment etc.
It is important that you make a list of all the extensions and lines you may need for your new phone system. Not forgetting some users may need more than one line and multiple extensions.
With key systems, the size of a phone system is indicated as a combination of both lines and extensions. For example a system that has 10 lines and 30 extensions will be shown as a 10 x 30 system.
With PBX phone systems, size is defined as a combination of lines and extensions, called “Ports”. The number of “Ports” is the maximum number of connections that can be made to the phone system. These include outside lines and inside extensions, as well as any other telephone system accessories.
When planning for a new business phone system, you should take into account the future expansion of your company, by foreseeing any extra needs at an early stage. Even if your current telephone system is handling calls well for the time being, this may not be the case when any future expansion or improvements are fully implemented. A good business phone system should be able to handle expansion easily and in a cost effective manor. PBX phone systems allow you to expand their capabilities, by adding new expansion cards, thus increasing the number of ports available for use. A few key systems can be expanded by the addition of another cabinet that is identical to the first.
When planning your new system it is important that you enquire about the potential cost for the addition of more extensions or ports. It is important that when choosing a new business phone system, you ensure expansion will come not only easily but as affordable as possible for your company.
Telephone System Dealers and Installers
Finding a good reliable dealer is the most important part of buying a new business phone system. A good reputable dealer will not only be able to sell you the system you require, but will offer excellent, guaranteed installation and service as well as always be on hand to answer any questions you have when problems arise. To put it simply they will be there to hold your hand and guide you through the process, from the planning and selection of a suitable system, to the implementation of you new system and training of staff. Any potential supplier will be more than happy to talk to you about any aspect of a new business phone system, and offer testimonials as to the quality of their systems and installation service.
It is not uncommon for buyers to require a demonstration of potential new phone systems. Any reputable dealer will be more than happy to offer a full demonstration of any phone system they supply. It is better for the dealer to visit your site, that way they can get a proper view of your existing system and evaluate your future communication requirements and cabling needs.
Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) specify how quickly a dealer responds to a problem with your phone system. A good dealer will offer a range of SLA’s to cater for most business needs and budgets. Expect to pay more if your business requires 24/7 support or response times shorter than normal.
Below are some questions that you could ask a dealer when looking for a supplier of a business phone system:
1. Can I have a system demonstration?
2. Who will install the system and cabling?
3. What range of Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) do they offer?
4. Who will provide system training and what are the costs?
5. Can the dealer provide remote maintenance facilities?
6. What guarantees and warranties do they offer?
Check List
1. Decide which type of phone system best suits your businesses needs.
2. Plan the size of your new system by evaluating the amount of lines and extensions you require. Don’t forget to plan for any future expansion.
3. Decide what extra features you might require from you new business phone system (voicemail, door phones, etc).
4. Contact a few reputable dealers.
5. Arrange for a demonstration of suitable phone systems.
6. Work with your chosen dealer to select and purchase the correct system for your business.
7. Don’t forget to sort suitable training and an adequate service level agreement.
Final
The purchase and installation of the correct telephone system for your business is a very important decision. It is imperative that you get it right first time, as the functionality and prosperity of you business could heavily depend upon it. Remember to follow the few simple guide lines outlined in this report, and you will be more prepared than most.

PBX systems used to be extremely expensive and only affordable by huge corporations with hundreds of extensions. Though this is still the case for larger installations, the development of the technology required has progressed to the point where a powerful, fully functional PBX office phone system for a small business is able to fit on the top of a desk.
Nearly all these compact PBX phone systems come with all the features you might want as standard. You pay a premium for the programmability and flexibility that a PBX offers, but in most cases the price difference is not as much as you may imagine between that of a less flexible phone system.
Key Systems
Key phone systems are more typical in businesses that require five to forty extensions. This type of phone system uses a central control unit called the Key System Unit (KSU) to provide features and functions that are not available using ordinary phones. An example of this is: key systems using a KSU allow one extension to call another in house extension, and prevents any other users from picking up a line that is already in use. Key systems usually come as standard with most features any business would expect, but in some cases they are often less flexible than a PBX phone system.
PBX & Key Systems (hybrids)
Though Key and PBX systems have some different technical features, these differences have become somewhat blurred over the past couple of years. Many Key systems now offer features that were once only available to those who chose to install a full PBX phone system. Some systems also operate internally as either a PBX or Key system depending on the software installed. Sometime these systems are often referred to as “Hybrid” phone systems.
Installation & maintenance of PBX and Key phone systems
PBX and Key phone systems require installation by fully trained and qualified telecoms engineers. All outside and inside lines must connect to the PBX or KSU cabinet. The installation and maintenance of one of these types of phone system can be just as expensive as the phone system itself. In many cases you may be able to use the existing phone lines available in your office, but unless the phones you have been using are relatively new, they may not be compatible with your new system, requiring you to purchase new handsets as well as the system itself.
The Right Size System
It is important that when buying a new business telephone system, that you know your requirements in advance. Knowing what features need to be included with your new telephone system will stand you in good stead when it comes to negotiating with potential suppliers. When considering buying a new telephone system for your business, there are two major factors that determine the size of the system you require:
Lines. These are sometimes called trunks. The number of lines a system has denotes the number of outside lines being used by a company.
Extensions. Most extensions will be made up of handsets. Though any equipment that requires a phone line is classed as an extension. This includes fax machines, modems, and credit card equipment etc.
It is important that you make a list of all the extensions and lines you may need for your new phone system. Not forgetting some users may need more than one line and multiple extensions.
With key systems, the size of a phone system is indicated as a combination of both lines and extensions. For example a system that has 10 lines and 30 extensions will be shown as a 10 x 30 system.
With PBX phone systems, size is defined as a combination of lines and extensions, called “Ports”. The number of “Ports” is the maximum number of connections that can be made to the phone system. These include outside lines and inside extensions, as well as any other telephone system accessories.
When planning for a new business phone system, you should take into account the future expansion of your company, by foreseeing any extra needs at an early stage. Even if your current telephone system is handling calls well for the time being, this may not be the case when any future expansion or improvements are fully implemented. A good business phone system should be able to handle expansion easily and in a cost effective manor. PBX phone systems allow you to expand their capabilities, by adding new expansion cards, thus increasing the number of ports available for use. A few key systems can be expanded by the addition of another cabinet that is identical to the first.
When planning your new system it is important that you enquire about the potential cost for the addition of more extensions or ports. It is important that when choosing a new business phone system, you ensure expansion will come not only easily but as affordable as possible for your company.
Telephone System Dealers and Installers
Finding a good reliable dealer is the most important part of buying a new business phone system. A good reputable dealer will not only be able to sell you the system you require, but will offer excellent, guaranteed installation and service as well as always be on hand to answer any questions you have when problems arise. To put it simply they will be there to hold your hand and guide you through the process, from the planning and selection of a suitable system, to the implementation of you new system and training of staff. Any potential supplier will be more than happy to talk to you about any aspect of a new business phone system, and offer testimonials as to the quality of their systems and installation service.
It is not uncommon for buyers to require a demonstration of potential new phone systems. Any reputable dealer will be more than happy to offer a full demonstration of any phone system they supply. It is better for the dealer to visit your site, that way they can get a proper view of your existing system and evaluate your future communication requirements and cabling needs.
Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) specify how quickly a dealer responds to a problem with your phone system. A good dealer will offer a range of SLA’s to cater for most business needs and budgets. Expect to pay more if your business requires 24/7 support or response times shorter than normal.
Below are some questions that you could ask a dealer when looking for a supplier of a business phone system:
1. Can I have a system demonstration?
2. Who will install the system and cabling?
3. What range of Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) do they offer?
4. Who will provide system training and what are the costs?
5. Can the dealer provide remote maintenance facilities?
6. What guarantees and warranties do they offer?
Check List
1. Decide which type of phone system best suits your businesses needs.
2. Plan the size of your new system by evaluating the amount of lines and extensions you require. Don’t forget to plan for any future expansion.
3. Decide what extra features you might require from you new business phone system (voicemail, door phones, etc).
4. Contact a few reputable dealers.
5. Arrange for a demonstration of suitable phone systems.
6. Work with your chosen dealer to select and purchase the correct system for your business.
7. Don’t forget to sort suitable training and an adequate service level agreement.
Final
The purchase and installation of the correct telephone system for your business is a very important decision. It is imperative that you get it right first time, as the functionality and prosperity of you business could heavily depend upon it. Remember to follow the few simple guide lines outlined in this report, and you will be more prepared than most.

Credit Cards That Are A Credit To Any Business
By Joseph Kenny
Business credit cards can come to mean a lot to any business and can even be used to reduce costs and manpower. They can also, if used properly, be used to get savings on your purchases and simplify paperwork. Here are some ways that you can use a business credit card so that it can be an asset to your business.
Simplifies Accounting
Have you ever found that employees lose receipts, or do not supply you with adequate details of purchases? Or, has the accounting department ever misplaced receipts? By giving your key employees business credit cards you can eliminate the receipt system altogether, because all charges can be put on a single monthly statement for your company - if you want it. This would greatly reduce man-hours in the accounting department - and make it so much simpler for reimbursements to be made, too.
Keeps You Informed
In addition to this, your online account enables you to see what is being spent each day. This gives you visibility of the daily transactions made by all your employees, as well as totals charged on the account. Balances can also be seen enabling you to avoid overcharging your business credit card. You also may have the option to be able to limit the amount of expenses charged by your employees.
Earns Rewards
By selecting a card related to large expenses made, such as gas, or air miles, office equipment, etc., you can save a lot of money. Most of these cards are geared toward the small business owner, which may make it even more appealing if you fit in that category. By using a business credit card, you can reduce your monthly expenses on many things, and get cash back, or discounts on other products, Some credit card companies give free office equipment and supplies as a bonus. An example of how you can get savings is if you put all your gas onto the gas credit card of a gas company that you already use all the time.
By putting all of your business expenses on a card from one company, all of your individual expenses can bring a lot of rebates, or cash back. If your card focuses on traveling, then your rewards could come in the form of free hotel stays, cruises, flights and possibly points that can be used toward new vehicles. Some business credit cards will put on your account as many as 10,000 points with your first purchase.
Make Balance Transfers
If your business has any existing credit card debt, you could have the option of being able to transfer it to your credit card with 0% APR interest. Most business credit cards, however, will charge a rather small percent of interest, though.
Compare Business Cards
Take the necessary time to be able to find a good card - one that will meet your needs. Business credit cards usually come with annual fees, but these will vary quite a bit. Also, many business cards do come with interest rates - and many do not, so, you will want to look at the fine print carefully.

How To Organize for Tax Time
By Sheri McConnell
The words "simple" and "tax time" have probably never been uttered in the same sentence. Well, not until now at least. The key to a stress-free tax season is being organized all year-round. Trying to organize a week before or, even worse, the night before April 15th is setting yourself up for failure.
Why You Should Organize for Tax Time
Organizing for tax time helps you avoid misplacing important receipts and documents. Your stress level will be lower because you won't be rushing around at the last minute trying to get to the tax preparer and/or post office. Being organized for tax time also helps you save money because you are more likely to keep track of deductions if you have a system and you won't be charged a higher fee for having your tax preparer go through your piles of receipts.
How and What To Organize for Tax Time
The only way to organize any object is to assign a home to it. Designate a filing cabinet or storage bin made to hold hanging folders for your year-round paper storage. Create folders for receipts, credit card and bank statements, etc. You will make a folder for anything you spend money on and need to keep track of for tax purposes. Have a filing schedule. I usually take one day a month to pay the monthly bills for my three businesses and to do all my filing. During the month, I put all my documents into one of two places until my filing day. This keeps everything organized with very little effort. I have one folder designated for current bills to be paid and then a lateral shelving unit that I stick everything else in for all three businesses and for my personal documents. No matter what, no less than once a month, I file everything from the shelving unit into my filing cabinet in the appropriate folder.
Now, where do we file our papers? Each year, you should designate a large accordion envelope or section of your filing cabinet to your tax papers. Some of the tax papers you will be filing will include your W2s, 1099s, mortgage interest statements, bank interest statements, real estate tax statements, investments statements, and receipts for charitable donations. Most of the papers/receipts you will file will fall into the following categories: salary, real estate, medical, childcare, and investments.
How Long Should I Keep My Financial Records
First of all, make it a habit to throw away as much as you can that you don't need to keep like the envelopes that come with your statements, your ATM slips after they have been recorded in your check register, credit-card slips (don't forget to shred them if they show your credit card number), utility, phone, and cable bills after you have paid them.
Now, on to the documents you should hang on to. Hang on to all monthly statements of financial accounts (bank, investment, etc.) one year until you reconcile them with the year-end statements. Hang on to federal and state income tax returns and related receipts and statements for at least three years. One investment company recommends keeping all tax returns and related information for six years if there is a possibility you may have under-reported your income by 25% or more. When it comes to business equipment or home improvements, you keep those records as long as you have the item (printer, house, etc.).
Simple Tax Time
Everyone has a different financial situation and these tips are offered as guidelines to simplify tax time. Being organized at tax time and year-round should allow you to lead a calmer life and to have greater control of something that you can, and should, plan for. I hope a few of these tips helped and that you have a stress-free tax season as we head into the next year.
