I have a lot of credit card debt close to $50000 from my business. What are some ways to clean this up?
My business is still in the growth stage but we have racked up debt close to $50000 that is sitting on my personal credit cards. Should I transfer that debt to a large credit line under my company name? Will that alleviate the stress on my personal credit debt? or will that not matter because it is still my corporation? Any assistance with this matter is appreciated. I only hope to clear these debts sooner than later..Thanks
Unless you company is publicly traded, you will not be able to move the debt. Your company debt is your debt.
I see this often when I arrange loans.
The real question is "How do I borrow more. while I am in debt?'
The short answer is simply this: Your business needs to start making money and paying down debt. Failing that, you are in trouble.
I wish you luck. I've been there. Not a good place to be.
Seek the free of counseling debt consolidation services to see and hear your options and all the options available to you.
There are many debt consolidation programs open to you.So get professional financial advice first then decide.
Doubt you'll be able to transfer the debt to your corporation without a personal guaranty on your part. Time to make a plan for retiring this debt before it takes you down.
If you don't have any meaningful accounts receivable to collect or "factor", then what you have my friend, is an expensive hobby.
However, some companies out there offer "business" credit cards which they require a person guarantee for. These institutions will often ask for a personal guarantee, and will almost always ask for a social security number from the person applying for the card. If this is the case, the credit card is not a business credit card, but is simply a personal credit card which is used for the business. The business is not liable for bills and debts - you are.
When applying for a credit card for your business, watch out for areas asking for your SSN (and not your TaxID or EIN) and be wary of any credit card that asks for a personal guarantee. By ensuring that your credit card is in the name of your business, you can help to build your business' credit, while avoiding creating problems with your own.
Many companies offer a list of credit cards that are issued under the business name only. Those lists typically run $300-$900, depending on the quality of the information inquiring. I would suggest starting your search online via google or yahoo. Search for "strong business credit" (just like that in quotes) to find services that sell the information.
Good luck,

It's time for a hypothetical question: If ECW was cleared of it's debt in early 2001, and did smart business..
In the end of it's original run, ECW had more popularity than WCW(as proven by ppv buys and live attendance), and it seemed the only thing holding it back was bad business. Bad business with TNN, bad business debts, and bad business involving CD, magazine, and videogame royalties.
But, what if...
Paul Heyman found a major financial backer in late 2000 or early 2001, who would absolve his debt and keep the company afloat in the wildly popular would of professional wrestling? What if they got their royalties...
What would the wrestling industry be like today?
Remember: WWE funded ECW constantly, it didn't compete with it. Vince consitered ECW a "feeder system", that would help him get top-quality talent. He used this method to get Mick Foley, Steve Austin, Rob Van Dam, and The Dudleys, among others.
It wouldn't change...much
i think ecw would have lasted few more yrs but you know how hard it is to compete with vince mcmahon
he would have put ecw out of business no matter what
RVD wouldn't get as popular as he did in WWE and same with all the other wrestlers who went to WWE after it went bankrupt.
But even if that happened RVD would not have defeated John Cena on their return
And Vince would have bought the brand or gotten rid of it somehow
Condsider this...
John Cena vs. RVD (WWE CHAMPIONSHIP)
or..
RVD vs. Sandman (ECW CHAMPIONSHIP)
Cenas match is better huh?
Another misconception that you seem to have is that ECW was popular and made money. If that were the case, they would be wrestling in better places than armories, ball rooms, and bingo halls, and, more importantly, they wouldn't be worrying about landlords pulling the plug...literally, on their production.
Paul E would've made a big booking mistake, he has a brain fart every blue moon (like wanting to put a strap on Spike Dudley).
In closing, I don't think anything could've saved ECW, even money, because a majority of their success came from Paul E.'s silver tongue, and in 2000, I don't think it's wagging would have kept talent around without getting paid. Paul's biggest talent was convincing people that they were the beautiful rejects of the industry, and considering ECW's locker room was being heavily scouted, I don't think too many people could believe that lie too much longer.
ECW as an organization could not get the funding and financial backing it should have received. However, it would've been great if ECW was still around, though eventually, they would have to tone down the violence in order to get on television. The image they had was not a very good one for television before 9 PM.
What rights does my company have on a agency trying to collect on a business debt?
I was asked by my A/P Manager to do some research on the company rights on a business debt collection. I know consumer has rights and am familiar with that but do the same rights apply to business's as well? There is a collection agency that continuously calls our business harassing employees to collect this debt, but the debt has already been cleared up with the company it self this agency is representing. The agency is still calling and getting unreasonable and threatening to me (who answers the calls) that they are just going to start calling people at home. Which I know they can not but I need something in writing so my company can work on this.
I know the company has to have some rights on this, I know they can not do anything to me or the employee's themselves but its the threats that are uncalled for. So where can I find information on this?
I suggested talking with the co. Lawyer but it cost money to just consult with them, so they are trying to advoid that right now because it hasn't gotten to that yet.
paying off business debt?
I have a small business in its second year of operation.
The good news: We're profitable now.
The bad: We were undercapitalized and made some mistakes in the beginning. We've racked up some $40,000 in debt, to a variety of suppliers and even $10K to the landlord. Everyone has been patient thus far, but time is running out.
We are profitable, but after payroll we only clear about $1000 - $2000 per month in profit.
My question is how do other businesses deal with problems like this? I'd love to consolidate these debts somehow, but my credit is largely shot due to the whole undercapitalization thing. What do I do?
My business is grossing $250,000 per year, I don't want it to go under.
total debt = $40,000
Your question is filled with unknown facts. First, and most importantly, you should be able to pull out of your mess if your creditors continue to help or if a bank or someone bails you out. The problem is that most financing providers don't want to wait 20 to 30 years to collect the principal of their loan. Worse, they don't even like to finance existing debt, they would rather finance new equipment or something else tangible. If you don't have one already, create a business plan. You will want to create a crystal ball for you and others to see your future. You'll need a flexible budget (with different business levels, one where you're at today, one where you'd be if your business dropped by 20%, and one if your business were to increase by 20%.) You'll also need a current and accurate set of financial statements - balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. Contact your bank, one of their competitors, and the Small Business Administration and ask them if you might qualify for a long term note to make your operations more liquid. Your best alternative would be to get a loan.
I'm assuming that you're taking money out in some manner for yourself in the form of draws or salary? If possible, find a way to reduce that amount until you've repaid your creditors. If you are truly interested in saving your business, you will need to toughen up. Just because you have a business doesn't mean that you are entitled to spend your creditors money on yourself. Where else can you cut costs? Did you get competitive quotes on insurance? Are there better prices for your supplies and inventory? Can you pare down on your help? You aren't too far from pulling this off, but you'll need every cent you can come up with for a while until everyone is paid.
Consider adding a partner to your business. You'll have to share the profits, but if you pick up the right person(s) your profit could be increased by more than you're adding in cost. Contact some local cpa's and ask if they know anyone interested in a business venture like yours.
Your creditors have been patient. Trust me, they will likely continue to be. One thing everyone likes is honesty. Try to come up with a plan to make everyone happy. Call your creditors and let them know what's up. Tell them that you're willing and able to pay them, but it's going to take a while and it's going to take their continued patience. The last thing they want to do is to tell you to jump in the lake. A dollar tomorrow is worth infinitely more than the prospect of getting nothing today.
Finally, you can file for one of the bankruptcy options. It sounds to me like you are a good candidate for chapter 11 (reorganization.) The bad things are that your credit will be worse and a large part of the money available will go to the lawyers instead of to your creditors or to you. The good thing is that you will be able to legally shrink your debts and pay a very manageable payment until your creditors are re-paid. You can probably get away with paying $200 a month or so.
Good Luck
Is the best way to clear debt is to add it to your mortgage?
I owe £20,000 on credit cards. I have felt suicidal, but don't want my problems to become my wife's problems, not fair on her - I just wanna sort this out now. But we do have a nice home, and sunk all our savings to pay a 10% deposit on it two years ago. We have kept up with repayments but times are hard, we are both full time emploted but the savings we had generated from our second income, well that business has dried up. I am talking with Payplan to see if I can sort my debt problems out but wonder if adding the debt to the mortgage is teh answer. If I just had this one bill as opposed to all the card bills I think I would be happier because I feel I would be making progress. I think the snowball effect with credit cards won't work with because the interest on the cards wipes me out. Does anyone think adding the debt to the mortgage is the best idea?
Thank you
If you want to repair your credit history by repaying a loan, which has simple terms and low monthly installments, again bad credit debt consolidation loans are for you. They save you after rejection and help you regain your financial credibility, so that you can again enter the mainstream credit market.
Bad credit debt consolidation loans are of two types:
1. Secured bad credit debt consolidation loans:
These types of bad credit debt consolidation loans are secured by a collateral usually some property or a guarantor. Since, the lenders find something to bank upon in case you default on payments, the interest rates on secured bad credit debt consolidation loans are cheaper, the lending amounts are higher and the repayment period can be long.
2. Unsecured bad credit debt consolidation loans:
Persons who do not have anything to offer as the collateral or security, can take unsecured bad credit debt consolidation loans. The lenders find themselves at increasing level of risk while giving such loans. The existing bad credit situation and lack of a collateral, make them charge high interest rates and offer low loan amounts to offset the risk involved. But, a person who has a bad credit and cannot provide a collateral has little choice, but to take these high interest loans. At least by repaying these the borrower can rebuild his credit history.
Deciding which bad credit debt consolidation loan is right for you can be a daunting task. Many companies offer free debt consolidation help to those who are cash strapped. Read more from: http://www.credit-card-gallery.com/credit_card_debt_consolidation.html
They will tell you the best thing to do to sort yourself out.
If you cannot make your mortgage payment, they will take your house!
If you cannot make your credit card payments, there is nothing they can do except lower your credit score and default your payments into delinquency. You will still have your home!
Then cut up your credit card and use a debit card only (laser).
Then stop spending money you don't have.
Start saving again and use chunks of that to periodically reward yourself for being so good!!
Break theold habits and start new ones. The pain of transition will be shortlived.
Sorry to hear of your financial problems.
adding the debt to the mortagage is just more to pay in the long run.
Why not try a debt management company or an i.v.a where you will pay one monthy payment and will drastically cut what you payout a month.
With an I.V.A you will be debt free in 5 years.

How much debt must you have to be legally allowed to declare bankruptcy?
In addition to this law question, I have some ethics questions:
How much SHOULD you have to be in debt to be legally allowed to declare bankruptcy? 0? 10k? 20k? 50k? 100k?
& why should debt for a home mortgage, business, or other be cleared during a bankruptcy, but not a studetn loan debt? shouldn't all debts be treated the same? a debt is a debt is a debt, right?
There's no particular amount - as long as your debts exceed your assets, you can file for bankruptcy. It probably wouldn't make much sense to do in a lot of cases, but there's no reason to set a minimum by law.
Student loan debt is not forgiven in order to give lenders an incentive to lend to students. Otherwise there would be very little availability of student loans - students are incredibly risky people to lend to.
which is the best home based business at this times..with good income?
need to start a home based business soon as possible to clear bank debt of about 50000 dollars!
Only you can decide which home based business would be best for you. Everyone who has a home based business is going to feel that there's is the best. This is because it's where their heart and passion is. Having a business is having a child. It's almost like asking every "legitament" mother who's child is the best. They're all going to say their child is. Same thing with business owners. As far as a good income with a home based business. Each home based business has a good opportunity to make whatever amount of income you want to make. How the income becomes good is all up to you and what you do with your business. In order to have a good income coming out of your business, you have to do a good job in building your business, customer base is a primary factor in this. How you choose to build your customer base is up to you. Most home based businesses gives you two options. One you can build your own clientel base on your own, or two you can aquire business partners in which help you build your clientel base as a team. You should make sure that if you choose to have business partners that each person income is earned equally and that it does not take away from one another. However way you decide to build a business is up to you. The company you choose to collaborate with should have the option to do both ways. Understand in building a clientel bases on your own will require more work, then having a few business partners in which you all work together building a business together. That's the key thing to making a good income in a home based business. All home based businesses have incredible income opportunities to get you out of your debt of 50,000. That's not a big debt to have! Most home based business allow incredible residual income. Where you do the work one time and get paid over and over every single month. For instance, in my opinion the best home based business is in the telecommunications industry. You can either work alone and build yourself a business, or have the option to get a few business partners and work together building yourself an organization and capatalizing on a huge income coming in faster then doing it alone. You can market it local and long distance telephone services, Internet, VOIP, digital and video phone systems, Satellite TV and all major cellular phones and contracts. You can save people money on services that they are already using and paying for each month, or market in services that people don't have. In return the companies gives you a percentage every single month once you've provided the services or change their plans, or on cell phones upgraded and extended their current contract, or putting people on new contracts. You can do it all from your home! One of the reasons why I think this is the best home based business to look into doing for yourself is because the product and service is in and always will be in high demand. You don't have to wait for someone to finish the product and re-order, or when money gets tight go to the dollar store and buy it cheaper because they can't afford your prices. I feel that when money is tight, people are going to pay their utility bills, before anything else, other than their house payments. People just can't live without a phone, and most can't live without their television. So to me, that is the reason why the telecommunications industry is the best business to get involved in. But you might like to look at things that don't have to do with that. You might be the type that likes to go door to door selling products exchanging money in hands upon delivery. You might be the one that likes to have a briefcase full of jewelry, or talk to people about their health and help them get fit or whatever. So many different things to look into and decide which type of home based business is right for you. Go to the yahoo blog and look at all the information on different home based business opportunities. You should be able to find one there that would interest you.
Can someone with bad credit get a business loan. for a small business?
Also Let say i clear my debt up it's not much of a debt under 10,000 so would that still hinder my chances on getting a business loan even if i had a buisness plan created? With my debt clear... Would i have to have a co-signer? does my co-signer need to have good credit! if so would he have good credit if he has made mortage payments for over 3 years?
THanks
I've looked into it and you have to have enough assets that you own to equal or add up to more then what you borrow, and the bank your dealing with may look at you like if you can't keep good credit you maybe a bad risk.

Can I demand the release letter from a collection agency after I have paid the debt in full?
I paid my debt by money order and was told that I could receive the release letter by fax, but I am having trouble getting it from the collection agency, they are claiming that they need 5-10 business days for the money order to clear I thought money orders were like cash. Is there anything in the Consumer Protection Act that I can use to get the release letter faster?
Make sure you hold on to all paper work & ask them how long it will be before they report to all the bureaus that this debt has been paid.
