Easy Debt Relief!

The rising cost of essentials such as fuel and food has contributed to a 48 per cent increase in the level of personal debt, according to the latest Aviva Family Finances Report.

The average British family now owes around £7,944 in unsecured borrowing, compared with £5,360 a year ago, despite a 7 per cent increase in a typical family’s monthly net income to £2,066 over the past year.

To make matters worse, income has fallen for some groups, with divorced, separated and widowed parents suffering a 22% drop in income between January 2011 and January 2012.

Aviva’s research also highlighted a substantial decline in families’ ability to save, with the number of families saving nothing each month increasing to 42% over the past year.

Many of those families still managing to save have cut down, with the average amount saved by households each month falling from £22 in January 2011 to £21 this year.

Most factoring transactions do not pay the full value of the invoice immediately. Rather, they are broken down into two installment payments. The first installment, called the factoring advance, covers 70% 85% of the invoice and is paid upfront. The reminder, called the rebate, covers the remainder (less fees) and is funded once your customers pay the invoice in full.

However, there are some factoring transactions that are designed as a single installment transaction. This is commonly referred to as full advance invoice factoring. These types of transactions are common in the transportation industry through a freight factoring program. In these transactions, the client pays a flat fee and gets a single advance that ranges from 95% to 97.5% . For example, a company with a hypothetical 95%/5% plan would pay a 5% fee and get an immediate 95% advance.

The Act temporarily increases the gift tax exemption to $5 million for 2011 and $5 million increased by inflation for 2012.
