Business Startups With Bad Credit
Bad personal credit is a common stumbling block for first-time entrepreneurs. Often, the motivation for going into business is to make more money, indicating that they are not making enough money working for others, thus, bad credit. Working for yourself is the best opportunity for building wealth, and the sooner you get started, the better. Bad credit among entrepreneurs is more common than you think and can make the startup process slightly more difficult, but is not a total barrier in itself. If your credit is pretty good but with some negative entries, it may be worth the effort to dispute inaccurate information and negotiate with creditors about removing negative entries. If you have several delinquent accounts or other derogatory information on your credit report, it takes months (at least) to bring your score up, even if you do everything right. Do not even consider the “credit repair” services — the FTC has yet to find a single legitimate firm. The trickery they attempt to clean your credit report is bogus and at most will remove negative entries temporarily. If the information on your credit report is accurate, it is probably going to stay there for the seven years the law allows. You are better served spending your time finding creative ways to get your business off the ground than trying to “fix” the unfixable. The primary complication of launching a startup with bad personal credit is funding the business. Banks rarely finance startups anyway, but bad credit will make it impossible to obtain a bank loan for your business. Same with the SBA guarantees — because the SBA programs ultimately rely on you qualifying for a bank loan, excellent credit is required to get in the door. Even local economic development not-for-profits generally include credit score limits to qualify for government funded microloans. Generally, your credit score must be over 680 to even be considered, and anything below 620 will likely torpedo your chances. Not to worry, most businesses are launched without bank loans, and if you are driven to open the doors, you will find a way to finance your idea. The other downside of starting up with bad credit is that some things will be more expensive and some necessities may be more difficult to secure. First, most businesses will need merchant services, the ability to take payments from credit and ATM cards. Your personal credit is a major factor in securing these services, and the regular banks are quite strict about who they approve. Fortunately, there are alternative merchant services firms that specialize in “high-risk” applicants. You will pay higher per transaction and percentage of sales rates, but you will at least have the ability to accept credit cards. If your business can be conducted over the internet, you can also obtain a Paypal account without a credit checkthey accept both major credit cards and checking account drafts and their rates are usually better than the high-risk merchant services. Some suppliers request a personal guarantee and credit check before providing terms. If you don’t qualify, you may be required to pre-pay your business’s orders or pay more for terms. In most cases, you will have multiple vendors to choose from and there may be some who do not require a credit check. Shop around for the best deals, but avoid having multiple vendors run a credit check — believe it or not, inquiries lower your score even more. Register your business with Dun & Bradstreet (under the EIN) as soon as possible to begin building business credit, and use the EIN on contracts and to apply for terms whenever possible. It takes time to build business credit, but eventually you want to be sure that the business liabilities are completely independent of your personal assets. Don’t let negative credit stop you from pursuing your dream of owning a business. While some things may be more difficult, there is no hard and fast rule that bad credit means you can’t succeed in your own business. If anything, it will force you to be more conscientious about how you spend your startup capital and keep you focused on building your business with an eye on profitability.

MAKING MONEY ONLINE: HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN THE 21ST CENTURY
http://my.ws/1superhawk
I know that what I’m about to say sounds like there is no possible way it could be true, but when reading it, keep in mind that we live in a day and age of radically advanced technology. Because of that, there is no reason why you should still be working the same way as your grandparents and great grandparents who had no access to technology. The fact is that we now live in a completely different era, therefore we should not still be working 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year to make a fraction of what our bosses make, and then wait until we are 65 years old to retire and hope and pray that we still have something to live off of.
What if I told you that by simply copying and pasting emails for about an hour a day, you could have tremendous financial success for the rest of your life by allowing technology to take care of everything else and work for you? I know you may be thinking that this sounds too good to be true, but consider what has taken place since the days of your great-grandparents who were working the same way you’re working now. A century ago, people were still riding around in horse-pulled buggies, and now almost everyone owns a car, or multiple cars, and we have Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, and a whole host of other high performance sport cars. A century ago, the idea of flight as a viable means of transportation was considered science fiction, and now anyone can easily fly in comfort all over the world. A century ago, computers didn’t even exist, and when one was finally built in 1946, it weighed 60,000 pounds and was as big as two semi trucks, but now it is common
to find a personal computer in most homes, and many people have portable laptops that seem to get smaller and smaller all the time. The first transatlantic phone call wasn’t made until 1927, and now, everywhere you look, teenagers are walking around with cell phones with Internet access, completely capable of instantly contacting anyone in the world whenever they want.
The list goes on and on, so isn’t it conceivable that a vastly superior way of earning money has been created during this time as well? Doesn’t it make sense that we should not still be working the same way people were working generations ago who had no access to technology, when we now live in an age of radically advanced technology right in our own homes? You may be having trouble comprehending such a possibility, but that is only because you’ve probably never given it much thought. We’ve all been brainwashed to believe that hard work is the only way to prosperity, and that was indeed the truth for thousands of years, but the present age of technology offers solutions that have never existed throughout all of history, so please do not easily discard this message, as the information contained within can dramatically enhance your life for as long as you live.
I’m sure you’ve heard all the cheap talk from every salesman out there, but I am no salesman. I am in the business of positively impacting the lives of others….forever, and I’ve gone out of my way to do everything in my power to ensure your financial success while allowing technology to do 90% of the work. Place just an ounce of faith in me, and I’ll prove it to you.

Online Business Builder - Bebiz
http://www.internetmarketing.com/bebiz-homepage.html
BeBiz was created and developed by an entire team of Internet marketing experts and software developers, to entirely automate the approach to marketing on the Internet that we’ve been teaching our customers and students for over 12 years.
Its robust suite of tools provide you with everything you need to start your new business, while its user-friendly design, combined with plenty of helpful built-in videos, instructions, and advice, make it the simplest business-building solution you’ll find.
Here are just a few of the MANY features of BeBiz that you can take advantage of to have a professional website ready — and making sales — in just a few days:
Failure to find a niche market filled with eager buyers is the #1 reason why many new websites fail.
So BeBiz contains a “niche finder” tool that you can use to identify niche markets based on your interests or hobbies… before you start building your website.
You just plug in an area of interest (like “dogs,” “cooking,” or “photography,”), and your niche market research tool goes to work, uncovering business ideas based on the actual search terms that people are entering into the search engines as they look for products and services online.
Then BeBiz helps you analyze the potential competition for these potential businesses, so you can be sure you’ve identified a niche market with the best income potential.
The BeBiz market research tools also include a “pay-per-click competition finder,” which helps you learn how much you could expect to invest to bid on your potential keywords, along with an “SEO competition finder,” which will show you who already ranks for your keywords, so you can gauge what will be necessary to gain top rankings yourself.
The integrated BeBiz salescopy wizard is the perfect tool for anyone who worries about having to write copy for their websites, but doesn’t want to hire a high-priced copywriter.
Based on the step-by-step copywriting formula we’ve been teaching successfully for the past 12 years, the copywriting wizard walks you through each of the essential sections of a winning salesletter, providing plenty of advice as you go.
But to make it really easy, your salescopy wizard comes fully loaded with plenty of real examples of winning copy — from headlines to problem statements to guarantees — that you can “steal,” and include on your website as-is.
BeBiz also features a “full screen editor,” so once you’ve completed the series of steps, you can easily review — and refine — all of your copy at once.
Finally, with your salesletter complete, BeBiz will automatically add it to your website for you, so you don’t have to worry about messing with HTML files.
builder, it does include a robust point-and-click site builder that you can use to create an attractive, professional website, even if your technical skills are limited to checking email or updating your Facebook page.
You just click once to choose from among dozens of professionally designed site templates, click again to select an attractive header graphic for your site, and click a few more clicks to add an opt-in form (so you can collect your visitors’ contact information) and additional pages, like articles and a blog.
And when you use BeBiz’s built-in site builder to create your website, you can also:
•upload your own files, including images and video
•create and launch your own custom landing pages
•add additional money-making elements, like social media buttons, embedded YouTube videos, and surveys
•add Google AdSense adds
•and much more!
Automated Contact Mangement System
It’s been well-documented that the majority of first-time visitors to any website leave without taking an action.
So we’ve built into BeBiz a contact management system that allows you to capture the names and emails addresses of your visitors, so you can follow up with them via permission-based email marketing, and drive them back to your site to buy.
Our contact management system keeps track of your site’s sales, customers, and leads, and stores them all in an easy-to-use database.
You can also export your list of contacts in a .csv file, making it compatible with virtually any email marketing system you choose to use.
Concerned about the complicated process of getting a merchant account so you can accept credit cards on your website? With BeBiz, you don’t have to worry about a thing!
We’ve designed BeBiz to work seamlessly with PayPal, the world’s most-used method of online payment.
PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification (IPN) system is fully integrated with BeBiz, to provide you with an automatic payment system, along with sales and customer tracking.
In just three quick point-and-click steps, you’ll have your PayPal payment system installed on your site, and you’re ready to start making sales.
