We are finalising the event we are running for Dan Peacock which will be held on August 17th on the incredibly important subject of how to purchase property Below Market Value (BMV) with little of none of your own money, whilst making sure you stay legal and avoid the tax evasion trap. This is a must for all property investors.

We also had a meeting today with a company we are going into Joint Venture with which has an amazing model which we can all share in within the online marketing arena.

Revealed - The Truth about BMV and "No Money Down"

The latest event to be held by Dan Peacock will be held on 17th August at the Renaissance Hotel, Bath Road, Heathrow.
This is a 1 day educational seminar covering how the latest spate "No and Low Money Down" deals can be used and the legal and tax implications associated with these new and sometimes untried systems.
Dan Peacock is a well respected, down to earth mortgage broker with 9 years experience in providing mortgages to Property Investors and Professional Landlords.

His reasoning behind holding the event was that many of his clients have been coming to him with property transaction which had inherent problems.

Dan commented "With many of the lenders pulling investment and buy-to-let products, there are lots of new systems. Some systems are on the whole OK, however, the client really needs to understand the implications. It's not too strong to say with some of the systems out there they leave the client exposed to mortgage fraud and in some cases tax evasion".

If you want to book onto this event, tickets are only £97 inc. VAT Click here

Joint Venture - What is is?

There is an old adage, "if you cant beat 'em, join 'em. This in essence is the nature of a joint venture. Joint Ventures are simply a way to significantly increasing your market reach. 

Think of it this way, whatever business your in at the moment you have a client base, or database of clients. Say for argument sake you have a good qualified database of 1000 clients. To increase business revenue, most companies would turn to advertising. But think about it for a second. 

Ask yourself one question. 
what do my costumers need, that I can't provide for them?

When you find the answer, go and find a great company in your area, who can supply your customers. and simply ask for a referral fee.

The added bonus to this is of course, is that the very same company may be able to introduce your business to their client. You would then reciprocate, by offering them a referral fee.

In business terms, a Joint Venture is a mutual business alliance to firstly increase each others client bases. The second beneficial objective could be to enable the 2 companies to join forces to penetrate markets they couldn't consider before. Larger markets or international markets.

SAVE MONEY BY LEASING YOUR COMPUTER AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT

WHY should a business lease?

Starting or running a small business can be draining on the wallet. There are so many reasons why any business should seriously consider leasing their office and IT equipment over purchase or rent.

The first one is that leasing improves the companies cash flow. In fact this is the main advantage, it simply frees up cash. Leasing is also easier to finance than purchase. The simple fact is that if you were to contemplate purchasing your equipment with a capital equipment loan from the bank, they would usually want to see the last 2-3 years of financial records. For many new companies this would be prohibitive. 

Keeping pace with Technology
Every business needs to keep pace with the latest equipment available to it and the major advantage leasing provides over purchase is the ability to always have the very best in computers, communications, printers, copiers etc.

Getting what you need, when you need it
When a new big project comes in, you may have to employ more people and furnish them with new equipment, computer and the like. Leasing enable you to get these in fast without massive capital outlay.

I won't even go into the tax benefits, but you should. Speak to your accountant or financial director, you may have a very pleasant surprise..
