Keeping your Dog Cool and Comfortable

Relief from heat does not come easily specially for our furry friend. They do not have sweat glands so they cannot sweat to cool off. Most dogs will just simply give up the comfort of their bed and stretch out in the bare floor to cool off. Panting also help to cool them off but this is not sufficient. Dogs with thick, double-coats are more susceptible to heat stroke. Dogs can experience some serious discomfort during summer and hot months. A cooling pet bed is the ideal solution to this. Canine cooler bed can provide an ongoing therapy for your furry friend. It can be very helpful and bring much relief, especially if your dog suffers from bad joints, hips or one of many skin conditions affecting pets from all walks of life. A cooling pet bed doesn’t have to be expensive either, and can be used all year around, especially in those hot summer months.

How To Obtain Equipment Financing Or Leasing If You Have Business Or Personal Credit Challenges

A Fair Isaac credit score below 600 for the principal owner(s) of a business makes it extremely difficult to borrow money to acquire equipment for your company or business. The reason being that the equipment provides the only real “collateral” for the loan/lease in addition to the personal guarantee of the owner(s). Most lenders are not in the equipment re-marketing business, so how the principals handle their personal credit gives them the biggest indicator as to how individuals will handle other borrowings.
The first step in this process then is to review all three credit bureaus Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. Consumers are entitled to one free credit report per year from each agency. Not only to review the score, but determine if there are any items that should not be on the report. If the score is low or marginal because of errors, that’s one thing. This can be corrected over a period of a few months and should improve the overall score as well.
If the score is low because of late payments, excessive inquiries, too much revolving debt or general lack of paid as agreed accounts then you could then try to apply for equipment financing or leasing in a different way. We will talk about this to follow.
At the same time, checking the company credit rating is an important step in this process as well. It pretty much all starts with D&B. they have something called a “D & B Paydex Score”. This is a numerical ranking from 0-100 that reflects how you handle trade debt payments compared to other companies in the same industry. A score of 60 and above can be acceptable to lenders but really 70+ is the criteria that most are looking for when evaluating credit. Once again the same approach applies as with the personal credit bureaus. If your score is low because of no or lack of D&B information or errors on the existing report these are correctable. You will have to pay D&B to have your company assigned a Dun’s number if no information exists. If erroneous information appears is can be removed over a period of time, which should also improve the Paydex score. If existing scores are low because of trade accounts not being paid in a timely manner AND you have a low credit bureau score for the same reasons-stop here. You will have an extreme difficult time obtaining debt financing for equipment.
If however you personal scores are low but business credit is good and you are an “S” or “C” corporation structure you still have one option. It’s what is called “Corporation Only” financing. To be considered for this requires the following:
1. A business history of five years +.
2. D & B Paydex score of 70 +.
3. An average business, bank account balance for the last three months of $25,000 +.
4. Comparable paid as agreed debt rating, for the dollar amount requested.

Location, location, location. You always here people saying that so and so person’s building is a success because it is located in a prime place. Location somehow seems to determine a financial gain or loss for the majority of investors. However, what most people tend to do wrong is to limit their interpretation of the word ‘location’ to simply the physical location of the property in terms of what other facilities are available nearby, such as hospitals, transport, schools etc, etc.
