Jeffrey Taylor, Your Money Coach asks, "Are You Setting Your Child Up For Failure?"

Southfield, MI -- As the stock market and property values have fallen, college tuition costs have gone up! What you do now will determine your child's ability to attain a higher education. Will you and your child be prepared?

Jeffrey Taylor recently spoke at a workshop for business owners where he said, "Let's face it. Colleges have to meet payrolls, run multi-million dollar facilities, and keep the best talent possible. All of that costs millions of millions of dollars and your tuition dollars fund those expenses. Higher tuition costs aren't going anywhere but up!"

Jeff went on to explain, "The best thing any parent or student can do is to take a proactive position to ensure that you get the maximum dollars possible. What did Tiger Woods parents teach us? If you know the rules of the game and teach them early enough; you can dominate your competition!"

At College Funding Resources, LLC Jeff Taylor teaches those strategies that can give a student a dominating edge over their peers. "When a parent comes to us early enough, we can assist them in saving thousands of dollars that most parents ignorantly overpay," said Taylor.

Jeffrey Taylor's seminars provide insightful, straightforward facts parents need to know to receive the most money possible to combat astronomical college expenses.

Right Now Strategies for Parents that Want to Send Their Children to College without Going broke!"

The mission of the College Funding Resources, LLC is to educate parents on the strategies that can be used to fund a college education while utilizing other people's money. The subject of student financial aid is covered profusely in the media, but little is discussed about how to pay off college debt assumed by the parents. College Funding Resources provides free workshops to their local communities on the subject of using various obscure legal and ethical strategies as an alternative to college debt.

Southfield Martial Arts Institute Gets the Whole Family Involved

Lee Morof, Associate Broker/Attorney/CDPE: Real Estate Agent in Birmingham, MI

Tournament Sparring

In the Spring of 2008, I learned that my elementary school age son was being picked on by a bully at his school. Almost immediately, I decided it was time for the both of us to learn self defense. I called a couple of Dojos in the area only to learn that my son and I would have to learn separately. I then contacted the Southfield Martial Arts Institute located at 29100 Southfield Rd., Southfield, Michigan, (248) 569-7030. www.southfieldmartialarts.com. Fortunately, this Dojo has family Karate classes three times per week. The experience has been amazing. The Dojo is run by Master Willie Adams, a 10th Degree Black Belt, and several other very talented and patient Senseis who teach Okinawan Isshinryu style Karate. Above is a photo taken at the Dojo's Beginner Junior Tournament on October 25, 2008 that featured sparring, Black Belt demonstations, awards, and a luncheon following the tournament. A great time was had by all especially the precious children who all had big smiles on their faces as they wore their award medals. This Dojo not only teaches self defense technique that could save your life, but also respect for yourself and others, focus, and provides a sense of accomplishment. I highly recommend it.

Business Credit in Southfield, MI - Double Check Your Business Filing like the Banks do

Ralph Mark Maupin: Real Estate Agent in Highland Township, MI

Once you file your business paper work, you may think your job is done. Maybe you are thinking you will just sit back until you get some form of confirmation from your city or state. While this will work a lot of the time, if you really want to make sure things are going along as they are supposed to be, and that your paperwork is all being filed appropriately, you should check and double-check your filings.

Many states and cities offer an easy way to check on how the process is going. They have online websites where you can input your name or application number to see how things are going.

If you don't think it is important for you to check and make sure things are in line in your application process, consider this. There are plenty of other people that will be checking, including any banks or other funding institutions you are thinking of working with for your company's financial needs. They always will look through your credit profile to see what it says. Once you put in an application, they will take your application information and try to check your information with the proper authorities.

This is when one of two things can happen, either they can have a tough time finding your company, which could mean a delay or even a decline of your request to get funding from them. You will then have to do show you are correcting the problem and regaining their faith that you are the professional business you say you are. All of that could have been avoided had you just double-checked in the first place.

Some of the things that may be coming into your mind right now are how do you know when your application will be in the system and when will the approval get to you. Those are both good questions and ones you should have answered by the people you are filing your paperwork with. They should be able to give you a general time frame of when the application will be input into their system and when you will be able to see the process online. While you would think these should both be simultaneous, that is not always the case. Many states have systems in which the online aspect of the system is only updated periodically. That means while your application may well be in the system, you may not be able to see it.

Once they do show up, or if the time frame they told you it would be in by has passed, you may want to contact the department to find out what is holding things up.

Corporate Credit – Southfield, MI – What Business Type is Right for You?

Ralph Mark Maupin: Real Estate Agent in Highland Township, MI

As you embark on a new business endeavor and have decided what kind of business to run and even what you want to call it, you still have something to sort out. You need to know what type of business to run.

Are you familiar with the terms LLC, C-Corp and S-Corp? If your answer is that you have heard of them, but don't always understand the difference, read up!

There are a number of business structures you can use when you are creating a company. Each one comes with different benefits and liabilities. Here's a quick overview:

•· Sole Proprietorship - This is a one-man band in which the person running the business has a chance for all the profits, but also carries all the responsibility and a loan to a sole proprietor is called a "personal loan." This is not a business structure and could be putting their personal assets at risk if the company were to have serious financial difficulties and/or asked to pay debts.

•· Partnership - In a partnership, two or more people are working together on the business endeavor. All usually put similar amounts of money and time into the business and they are all responsible for running the business. They can also incur debt and be held personally liable if the company were to fail or be sued for debts.

•· Limited Partnership - In a limited partnership there are at least two partners involved in the business, but not necessarily at the same levels. One or more of the partners will operate as general partners, meaning they take part in decisions and management, while the other(s) are more silent partners who offer financing, but do not get involved with the business operations. The general partner, who is running things, is the one held responsible for profits, and losses, of the partnership.

•· Limited Liability Company (LLC) - Once you move to this type of company, you are taking the burden off of your personal shoulders and putting the company on it's own two feet. This is an important step to take. When you get to this level of business understand that any liabilities are only taken from business assets, not the personal assets of those who own the company.

•· C-Corporation - If you would like to have a business structure that will help you see a lot of deductions, which means you can keep more of your profits, you may want to go the c-corp. route. A C-corporation is it's own creature and can provide goods and services, own it's own assets and also take on any liabilities that the company may face. This type of business structure will also give you a little flexibility for when you want the fiscal year to end - 3/31, 6/30, 9/30, or 12/31.

•· S-Corporation - An S-corporation is the next step up in the line and is a business structure where any profits of the company are to be handed on to the shareholders. This type of corporation offers a number of deductible expenses to shareholders. If you are the sole owner, you would own 100% of the stock in the company.

When it comes to what banks think about business structures, they are more likely to offer lines of credit and loans to those companies that have the higher rated business structures, like the LLC and corporations.
