Website Templates - Pros, Cons, Creating and Finding
Website templates are pre-designed web pages created for you to use as a basis for fast web development, saving you lots of time on website designing. You add your content text and pictures to the designs and you have a functional website, ready for upload. If you search the Internet for website templates, you will be amazed by how many different companies offer free templates and also sell templates.There are many pros to using a template: Templates save time and energy. Many suggest what content to add and where. You have the basic design for each page of your website. Because the design is the same throughout, you have the consistency that will hold your site together. Updating your website is straightforward. Templates cut out the chance of destroying layout, because they usually have un-editable and editable regions.There are, however, just as many cons to using templates: Many that are free on the Internet are database driven, so do not show up in search engines (for example, Tripod has many good looking templates, but all are database driven). You have little or no leeway in changing the pre-designed format.

tcy. An IVA, or Individual Voluntary Arrangement, is a private, legally binding agreement between you and your creditors. An IVA enables you to offer your creditors a structured repayment program over an agreed time period, which is normally 5 years. The IVA repayments are based on your disposable income (i.e. how much you can actually afford to pay back each month once your essential living expenses have been deducted). The IVA is proposed to your creditors through an insolvency practitioner, who acts on your behalf by seeking a vote of acceptance for the IVA from your creditors. It is necessary to achieve acceptance from 75% of your creditors before the IVA can be considered binding on all of them. Once accepted, an IVA protects you from your creditors taking legal action, and also protects your assets from being seized by your creditors. Any outstanding balances on your debts that still remain at the end of the IVA will be written off by your creditors.

In an IVA, what happens if you own your home?

An IVA protects you from having to sell your home, but you will be required to release available equity from it via a re-mortgage. If you have part ownership of your home, you will only be required to release the proportion of your part of the equity a re-mortgage will allow. The IVA protects you from having to sell the propert

IVA or Bankruptcy?

This is one of the most important questions facing people with serious debt problem, and to be honest, it can be an extremely difficult question to answer.

In my position as a debt adviser, specialising in IVAs, I believe helping a person understand how their personal circumstances will affect the suitability of each solution, either an IVA or Bankruptcy, remains crucial to helping someone decide on how best they can move forward.

So, here are the facts, in plain English, which you need to know before you can decide which option, be it an IVA or Bankruptcy, is most suitable for your circumstances.

The Personal Bankruptcy Option.

What is bankruptcy?

Well, being bankrupt is: "when a person is declared in law to be unable to pay outstanding debts".

(It is also known as being insolvent.)

What you can expect to happen

After the court has issued a bankruptcy order against you, you will be interviewed by the Official Receiver. If you have any assets, you may also be interviewed by a Trustee in Bankruptcy and your assets will then be sold by the Trustee in Bankruptcy. The money from the sale of your assets will be used to settle your outstanding debts, however, all the costs and fees of the bankruptcy process will be paid out of these funds before the creditors receive any settlement, or dividend payments. If you can afford to make monthly payments to the Official Receiver from your income, you will be expected to make these payments for three years. If the Official Receiver thinks you can afford to make payments, and you refuse to agree, he can obtain a court order to make you do so. The Official Receiver can also make your employer deduct the payments from your salary. The Official Receiver has considerable power, and your failure to cooperate could result in a warrant for your arrest, or public examination in front of a judge. The Official Receiver has the power to reverse any sale of assets where they are deemed to have been sold for less that their true value, and if it is believed the transaction defrauded creditors, there is no time limit as to how far back in time the Official Receiver can go.

What assets will be sold in Bankruptcy?

Any equitable interest with a saleable value which you own, i.e. properties, cars, caravans, properties abroad, time share, luxury goods, stocks, shares, investments and other valuable assets. If you own a part share of an asset, for instance a house, the ownership of your share passes to the Official Receiver. If you cannot arrange for a third party to buy your share of the equity, the Official Receiver can force the repossession and sale of it. If this asset is your home, you will be forced to move out.

Will Bankruptcy clear all my debts?

No. Bankruptcy will not clear any secured debts you may have. Also student loan company debts, fines, council tax arrears and family court orders for maintenance will not be included in a Bankruptcy.

What savings can you keep in Bankruptcy?

Pensions are generally protected in a bankruptcy, but savings, shares, investments and equity in property will lost to the Trustee.

What assets can you keep in Bankruptcy?

The trustee will generally allow you to keep a modest motor vehicle and any tools required for you to earn an income.

What other assets can you keep in Bankruptcy?

The trustee will generally allow you to keep your ordinary household contents, i.e. Tv, stereo, computer, sofa, washing machine, etc.

What about working whilst in Bankruptcy?

You retain the right to earn an income, but the effect Bankruptcy has on your position within a business depends on your occupation. If you hold a professional license, your regulatory body will need to be informed which may result in a suspension of your license. If you are a director of a business you will be required to resign your directorship and if you hold shares in the business they will be sold. If you are in a partnership, your fellow partners will be required to buy out your interest in the business. If you are a sole trader, you can continue to trade, but you will not be able to have any credit agreements with suppliers above ?500. If you are employed, you bankruptcy ought to have no effect on your right to work, however, if your occupation involves handling money and dealing with finances, your future employment will be at the discretion of your employer.

What about your privacy in Bankruptcy?

Because a Bankruptcy is a court process, details of which are in the public domain, your bankruptcy will be published in the press which may appear in a local newspaper.

What else could happen whilst in Bankruptcy?

If you receive an increase in income or inherit money from a deceased relative's estate, or enjoy a windfall like a lottery win, you will be obliged to inform the Official Receiver and make the money available to your Bankruptcy estate.

How long will my Bankruptcy last?

Your Bankruptcy will last for 12 months, after which time you will receive an automatic discharge. However, in cases where it is judged the debts were incurred through irresponsible or excessive spending you could be held bankrupt for a maximum of 15 years.

The IVA option.

What is an IVA?

An IVA is an alternative to bankruptcy. An IVA, or Individual Voluntary Arrangement, is a private, legally binding agreement between you and your creditors. An IVA enables you to offer your creditors a structured repayment program over an agreed time period, which is normally 5 years. The IVA repayments are based on your disposable income (i.e. how much you can actually afford to pay back each month once your essential living expenses have been deducted). The IVA is proposed to your creditors through an insolvency practitioner, who acts on your behalf by seeking a vote of acceptance for the IVA from your creditors.

Any outstanding balances on your debts that still remain at the end of the IVA will be written off by your creditors.

Ecological Negotiation
Negotiation is a process of trying to arrive at a mutually agreeable conclusion about something. It could be a sales situation; it could be a behavioral contract; it could be a cease fire. Negotiation is basically an agreement. What makes negotiation’s time consuming is that each party involved often has numerous needs that require some kind of guarantee of satisfaction. Until those needs are at least addressed in some way, there will be objections.Objections are critically important in successful negotiations and taking into account all objections is ecological. That is, it takes into account varying components of the system. Negotiations often prove a failure after the fact because one or more of the parties does not express their objections to the proposed settlement. Then, after the negotiation is over, they start to feel shortchanged and don’t abide by the agreement.In every successful negotiation it is critically important that objections be addressed. Some people involved in the negotiation may be shy or reserved about voicing objections. The facilitator or leader must draw out objections from participants so they can be discussed. Once out in the open, objections can be analyised and the need or concern they

be paid out of these funds before the creditors receive any settlement, or dividend payments. If you can afford to make monthly payments to the Official Receiver from your income, you will be expected to make these payments for three years. If the Official Receiver thinks you can afford to make payments, and you refuse to agree, he can obtain a court order to make you do so. The Official Receiver can also make your employer deduct the payments from your salary.

What Howard Stern Knows About Marketing that Few Small Business Owners Will Ever Find Out
Love him or hate him, small business owners need to take stock in some of the tactics the “King Of All Media” has used to create an veritable empire of raving fans who consume every word, product and affiliate he endorses.Regardless of whether you like him or not he undeniably has left an indelible mark on a huge marketplace. Small businesses should strive to achieve a similar thing in their own market.” Vee and Miller, who consistently urge and persuade small business owners to buck the establishment and use non-traditional marketing methods, reveal 3 tactics Stern uses effectively that small business owners can “rip off” and use to grow their business.1. The institution of broadcasting is not unlike the institution of traditional marketing. Stern uses an “against the grain” approach, a contrarian position to gain attention from people and the media. Small business owners should strive to take a polar position as well. Trying to be all things to all people and the need to please everyone will actually get you less attention and fewer customers. If you are afraid you will offend someone with your personal style you run a high risk that you will be no one’s first choice and invisible to most. Stern understands that i

In an IVA, what happens if you own your home?

How will an IVA affect my savings?

Generally your pension will be protected, and modest contributions can continue to be paid in to it during your IVA. It is possible to exclude assets from your IVA but you will be required to inform your insolvency practitioner of any savings, stocks, shares and other investments you may hold.

What other assets can I keep whilst in an IVA?

All personal possessions and household contents will be protected in the IVA.

How will an IVA affect my work?

An IVA is not Bankruptcy, therefore you are able to continue as a director in a business. Also professional license holders are able to continue practicing. Partnerships can also continue to trade, and because the IVA is a private agreement, your employer will not be informed.

How will an IVA affect my privacy?

The details of your IVA are not published in the press, however they will be held on the IVA register which is a public record.

What other effects will my IVA have?

You will be required to inform your insolvency practitioner of any inheritance or good fortune gains like a lottery win, and these funds will be made available to your IVA fund. Your finances will be subject to an annual review by your insolvency practitioner for the duration of your IVA and adjustments to your IVA payment will continue to be based on affordability.

How long will an IVA last?

An IVA can vary in length from 1 payment to 60 payments, but a standard IVA will last for 5 years.

What debts will an IVA clear

Your IVA will clear only your unsecured debts, e.g. personal loans, credit cards, catalogues and overdrafts. However, an IVA will not clear secured debts, fines and family court orders for maintenance.

What happens after my IVA finishes

You will be debt free. You will receive a certificate of completion from your insolvency practitioner, and you should inform the relevant credit reference agencies, e.g. Experian or Equifax, of the successful completion of your IVA for them to update your credit file.

As you can now see, the IVA is a real alternative to Bankruptcy.
