Large scale businesses and organizations are not able to run all their affairs from their own capital so it is usual for them to take loans. The most prevalent example of this type of finance is the loans taken from banks. The amount of the loan is to be repaid in agreed installments along with interest at a specified rate.
Merits of Debt Finance:
Following are the merits of debt finance:
(i) Scope for Expansion: Debt financing allows business to expand its operations. New branches can be opened in other cities and countries. New lines of business can be adopted to increase revenues. The easy availability of credit encourages entrepreneur to take new risks and float new products. It also enables businessmen to increase the scale of their operations and to upgrade their products in time.
(ii) Research and Development: Debt financing allows the process of research and development. Loans taken from banks can be used to accelerate R & D activities. Earning potential of the company increases when the research hard products are floated in the market. The new innovation, besides increasing companies reputation, also reduces its cost of production.
(iii) High Profit: Due to expansion of business and use of new techniques the revenues and profits of the business also grow. Huge revenues means that there will be a room for further expansion of the business. Higher profit can also be used to repay the bank loans. Thus increasing the solvency of business.
(iv) Ease of Working Capital: Debt financing helps in maintaining adequate working capital of the business. It also provides a room for making regular payments easily.
(v) Revival of Sick Units: Debt financing may be used to give a breathe to the sick industrial units.

Besides providing finance, proper supervision and guidance should also be given. All this will rehabilitate the sick units and can help them to be successful and profitable units.
(v) Saving from Insolvency: Debt financing may be used to save the business from insolvency. In case any essential payment is to be made and there are not enough equity funds then a loan can be taken to make payments and to save the business from insolvency.
(vi) Tax Advantage: As the interest charge is subtracted from net income before applying tax rate, so this leads to lower tax liability.
Demerits of Debt Finance:
Following are the demerits of debt financing:

Starting a check cashing business in Florida is a process that requires several steps that must be planned before filing for the license, and risking a loss of money and time.
The check cashing business in Florida is profitable but at the same time it is a risky business which must be minimized through the adoption of special measures and procedures.
It is important to obtain proper advice from experienced and qualified professionals to avoid expenses and delays to obtain a check cashing license.
Obtaining a check cashing license in Florida, also known as FT3 license, requires several steps:
The first step is to register with the federal government as a Money Service Business (MSB). This process is done electronically, and in order to file said registration any new applicant must set up an account with the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, commonly known as FinCEN. The registration is done through form FinCEN 107.
Registration with FinCEN places the company under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) laws and regulations. Those regulations imposes several requirements on the company. One of those requirements is to develop and implement an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program which must contain policies and procedures that the company will implement as part of their check cashing operation. Some companies tend to use AML programs devised for other type of financial services such as money order sales or money transfer services. However those programs are inadequate for check cashing and they do not meet the requirement of the BSA for a check cashing operation. Another requirement is to design a compliance officer. This person is liable to ensure that the AML program is being thoroughly implemented. There are other BSA requirements which must be met, and therefore the compliance officer and employees of the company must be aware of said regulations.
After the FinCEN registration has been confirmed, an application with the Florida Department of Financial Services, Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) must be filed. This application contains several parts, and must be filed electronically. As with the FinCEN registration, the applicant must set up an account with the OFR's Real System for thie purpose. It is extremely important that all information requested will be provided in a complete and accurate manner to avoid delays in the process. In our experience the vast majority of delays in obtaining such a license come from errors in the original application form. Several documents must be attached to the application, among which is the anti-money laundering program which must be previously drafted. Another form that must be submitted is a fingerprint card for each of the individuals included in the application, which will be used for a background verified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Once the license is obtained it is important to keep present that the State of Florida has multiple requirements that must be met by check cashers. Also the check casher is subject to audit examinations to verify that the company is operating with the parameters …

The quickest ways to make money may not at all be what you think. You’re probably thinking about doing something such as mowing grass for the neighbors, raking leaves, and shoveling snow. Although these are great ways to make money in very little time, there are plenty of other ways as well.
First of all, what can you do? What are you good at? Think in terms of what you can do on a computer because, really, you want to be able to use your existing skills to do something from home. That’s everyone’s dream, right? Of course it is!
So check out Craigslist and some of the freelance job boards. Now, freelance job boards don’t consist of just freelance writing jobs. You will also find data entry and various clerical jobs. You may even find positions as a virtual assistant.
Basically, you can have the work done in a matter of days and have your money in your hand not long after that. It is rather quick. The quicker you do the work, the faster you’ll have the money. It is as simple as that. So don’t do the physical labor if you don’t have to. That’s unless you like it. If you like it, go for it.
Heck, you can mow the neighbor’s grass for $20 and then come home and do some freelance work for someone. You don’t have to do just one thing at a time. You can do several things to make the money that you need and you can make it quick. You can also have fun doing it.…

You are driving down the road when another driver runs a stop sign, hitting into the side of your vehicle. You check to see if the people in the other car okay, then call the police. While exchanging information with the other driver, you find out that they have the same car insurance carrier as you do, leading you to wonder: How do I file a claim if the other driver has the same insurer? Is the process any different than normal? If so, how?
Read below to find out the answers to these questions and advice on how to make sure you get fairly compensated.
How Insurance Companies Handle Accidents When Both Drivers are Customers
In an ideal situation, an insurance company would handle accidents between two of its’ customers the same way they should handle any other car accident: impartially and responsibly. However, this is not a perfect world, and insurance companies have been caught failing to provide adequate compensation to customers in the sake of their bottom line profit.
When a car accident occurs and both drivers have the same insurer, the insurance company must handle it carefully in order to avoid running into a “conflict of interest.” To do so, most insurance companies will issue each driver their own adjustor. The idea is that both adjustors will evaluate the claim and liability of the accident independently, and present their findings to each other once they have determined fault.
If both adjustors agree that one of the drivers is at fault, then the adjustor overseeing the at-fault driver will process the claim further and provide compensation to the other driver based on their insurance policy.
However, if there is a complication about liability, and both adjustors do not agree about who was at fault, then they will act as if they work for two separate companies to handle the claim. Two adjustors from the same company will never take legal action to determine fault, but rather come to an agreement amongst themselves.
Oftentimes insurance companies waive a customer’s deductible if they are involved in an accident with another customer in order to avoid the hassle of dealing with liability disagreements and a customer accusing them of acting in “bad faith” by making a decision that is not in either driver’s best interests.
When insurance company only issues one adjustor to handle both drivers’ claims, there is a high risk of a conflict of interest. If this happens to you, contact a car accident attorney immediately to make sure you receive fair compensation.
Advantages of Having the Same Insurance
As unfortunate as getting into an accident is in the first place, there are a few advantages when the other driver has the same insurer as you.
For one, speaking to a representative at your own insurance company is always much easier and less of a hassle than contacting an adjustor from another insurer. Since you are a paying customer, adjustors will tend to provide quicker service than if …

Military families, just like traditional families, have needs that are sometimes unmet by the pay that an officer or soldier receives from serving his or her country. If you are serving or have served in the military, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, or Army Reserves, you can qualify for a military personal loan to meet your financial needs now.
Money For Any Purpose
A military personal loan can be used for any purpose. Perhaps you need to make a major purchase, such as furniture, appliances, or home improvement. Or maybe you need to buy a car, truck, SUV or other vehicle, take a vacation, pay for education for you or your children, or many other needs. Whatever reason you have for needing money, the fastest and easiest way to get the cash you need is through the military personal loan, and military personnel of all ranks qualify.
Borrow Up To $20,000
Military personal loans are available in amounts as small as $2,000 and as much as $20,000. Determine the amount that you need to borrow in advance of applying for your military loan, and borrow only the amount that you need. Remember that this is a loan and must be repaid, so never agree to a repayment amount that is more than you can meet with your current budget and other financial obligations. Military personal loans, just like other loans, will report either monthly or quarterly to the three major credit reporting bureaus – Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian.
Your military personal loan can be either unsecured or secured. The unsecured military personal loan does not require that you pledge security assets in the form of collateral to secure your cash, although you will be assessed a higher interest rate and usually have to repay your lender sooner. The unsecured version is perfect for the borrower who does not wish to risk their assets, or has nothing to use for collateral. The secured version requires that you pledge collateral, usually your home or automobile, and poses a lesser risk to the lender. Therefore, the secured military personal loan costs less in interest, can be repaid over a longer period of time, and features lower monthly payments.
Bad Credit Welcome
If your credit history is less than ideal, you might want to go for the secured military personal loan to improve your chances of approval. Borrowers with bad credit can also apply for their unsecured military personal loan with the help of a creditworthy cosigner. A cosigner should be someone who has established good credit, is willing to sign with you on your loan application, and agrees to repay the lender on your behalf if you fail to do so.
There are many lenders doing business online that write military personal loans for borrowers with all types of credit histories. These online lenders can typically save you money on both secured and unsecured military personal loans in terms of interest because of the increased level …

Believe it or not, most men blow their hard earned money on things they care about; but more important on people they love and care for. So you may find a man eagerly blowing all his cash on his mom, sister, friends etc…. but not you.
But before you think he’s a complete jerk, you should know that he does want to treat you, but he has some reservations. All you have to do, is help remove those reservations and doubts about you, and he’ll be completely open to spending money on you. Here’s how to get a man to spend money on you:
Show You Can Take Care Of Yourself
Chances are, if he is avoiding helping you or giving you money; it’s because he doesn’t want you to be completely reliant on him. He doesn’t want to father you or treat you like a baby. He wants to treat you like a grown woman who can take care of herself. Only when he sees this is true, will he feel that he can lavish you by spending money on you.
Remember that men are afraid of being locked into a problematic situation. A girl who needs a man always to take care of her-self, in his mind, can be problematic; because she will always be on his case about what she needs and how she needs it. Thus he looks for a more independent woman who will value him for more than just a “fatherly” role.
Earn What You Are Asking For
If you want him to take you out to dinners more often, if you want him to buy you gifts more often, and if you simply want him to spend his money on you; you have to EARN it. Men love a challenge, and they dislike anything easy. It’s easy for him to give money, but it’s not easy for a woman to actually deserve and earn it.
He is trying to see what you truly care about here. Do you care about him, or just the money? IF you truly care about him, you’ll do what it takes to earn his trust and heart, which in turn makes him want to spend money on you.
Be Willing To Give
Men who spend money on women do such, because they feel that woman is giving him everything he needs. Now he clearly doesn’t need money, but what men do need, is emotional and mental support; understanding, and intimacy, for a start. They need a woman who would accept and understand him, before she would criticize and argue with him.
In essence, if you fulfill his deepest desires to be understood, cared for, loved, trusted etc…. then he will easily open up his world to you, in all aspects, including the financial one.…

Having good negotiation skills can be the difference between success and failure in the business world. Those that know how to negotiate tend to rise to the top of whatever industry they are in. At the same time, those that do not know how to negotiate tend to stay where they are or fall backwards.
If you want to be successful in the industry, a study of developing negotiation skills should be at the forefront of your mind. Here are a few things to consider about the importance of good negotiation skills to your business success.
One of the primary benefits of having good negotiation skills is that you will be able to save money. If you represent your business or if you are negotiating for yourself, you will be able to negotiate a cheaper price when buying something. When making large purchases, you need to be able to negotiate with the sales representative and get a better price. If you simply take the price that is being offered to you, it is very possible that will get taken advantage of. Learning how to negotiate will allow you to save substantial amounts of money over a period of time.
Another important reason for developing good negotiation skills is that you will be able to make more money for your business as well. If you are trying to sell a product or secure a contract, you need to be able to negotiate in order to make it happen. By doing this, you will be able to secure a larger selling price and increase your profit margins. Increasing profit margins is one of the biggest objectives for most businesses. If you can learn how to do this, you will be invaluable to your employer and this will be directly related to your business success.
In addition to being a better negotiator, you will also develop several other traits that are essential in business. Many of the same skills that you use in negotiation will translate over to other areas of the business.
For example, when learning good negotiation skills, you will learn how to be an effective listener. In order to be successful in negotiation, you have to be able to listen to the other person to see what they want. This skill will be very valuable to you in other areas of the business. If you are a manager, you will need to be able to listen to your employees to see what motivates them. If you are dealing with customers, you need to be able to listen to what they are telling you so that you can find a product or service that matches their needs.
When you are aiming to achieve business success, developing good negotiation skills should be at the top of your priority list. This is by far one of the most important skills that you can develop as a businessperson. It can easily take you from where you currently are to where you eventually want to …

A common question in the repo industry is, “How much money do repo men make?”
If someone told you that you could make over $100,000 a year in a bad economy without a college degree, you’d think they were crazy. But some auto repo business owners are not only doing well – they’re making six-figures a year. When the economy does bad, they do better!
How Much Do Repo Men Make?
If you start your own auto repossession business, you can expect to earn $250 (or more) per repo’ed car. If you repossess two cars a night, five days a week, that’s $130,000 a year. It certainly requires hard work and determination, but it’s possible.
Repossession agents make the most money when lenders hire them to track down hard-to-find debtors – which is called “skip-tracing.” If a debtor voluntarily gives up their car (or if they’re easy to track-down,) an agent may only make $100 for the recovery.
Repo men who work for someone else typically earn 40{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} of the repo fee – or $70 to $100 per recovered vehicle (on average.)
What Are The Pros and Cons of Owning Your Own Repo Business?
While it’s true repo business owners make the most money, they have to pay for gas and overhead expenses before they get paid. And, as the motto in the repo industry goes, “no recovery, no pay.”
Fortunately, you don’t need to invest in expensive equipment to start a repo business. In fact, you usually don’t need a tow-truck!
That’s because many lenders keep key codes on file for every vehicle they own. Sometimes they even keep a spare set of keys! All you have to do is get a key made, find the car and drive it away.
You can invest in a minimal amount of equipment to get started, and reinvest your profits as your business grows.
What Are The Pros and Cons of Becoming a Repo Man for Someone Else?
Although there are advantages to owning your own business, many repo agents find it easier to get started working with an established repossession company. That’s because in some states, there are many hoops to jump through to become a licensed repossession business, including:
- Getting bonded and insured
- Competing a required amount of training (not all states require this)
- Familiarizing yourself with repossession, investigation and collection laws
- Investing in adequate equipment, computers and software for your business
In fact, many repo businesses owners got their start working for someone else!
While the repo business isn’t for everyone, if you have a tough skin, a hard work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit, it can be lucrative whether you work for someone else or yourself. The key is getting adequate training before you head out into the field, so you can avoid common (and costly) mistakes!…

The oil change business is hard. I am not going to sugar coat it. I have been in the business for five years and I am telling you from first hand experience. I have done more research on the topic that several people put together. I am an authority. I know what I am talking about. There is no profits, at least one can actually build a business on, in oil changes.
This is coming from someone who is in the business. Whoever, no matter who he is, tells you that you can make a decent profit off oil changes, regardless of what kind, he is lying. He is either purposefully lying to you to make money or really does not know. The profit from oil changes cannot, and I do repeat for emphasis cannot, sustain a viable business. The whole quick lube model is so flawed its almost comical. And the typical mobile quick lube model is even more flawed at its core. I have met only one guy who has what I consider made a real profit from mobile oil changes and his name is Lance Winslow. I have spoken to the guy and he is very smart but in one of his posts he stated that he makes very little from his oil change company. It had just been one of many companies he has started that has allowed him to achieve wealth in this country.
Every quick lube, including Jiffy Lube, makes no money from oil changes. Mobile oil change businesses will quickly realize this. The cost for your typical oil change in the United States, using the cheapest oil you can find, is $15.00 with oil and filter. The going rate for an oil change in the US is $20-$30 per five quart oil oil change. That means that in most states the most one can profit from an oil change is $15.00. And that is being liberal with the numbers and not including fuel. Fifteen dollars per oil change is not going to sustain a viable business. Some vehicles are absolutely terrible to work on like certain Chevrolet Cavaliers and Land Rovers and will take you more than an hour minimum to do one oil change. What do you get for all this trouble? Maybe twenty dollars. Its the biggest joke going.
The only way most quick lube places can make money is buying really pushing add-ons. If you work at any quick lube and do not sell the customer on additional services they may or may not need than you will be terminated very fast. The quick lubes cannot make money any other way. They have to push unnecessary air filter, fuel filters, coolant flushes, transmission flushes, power steering flushes, rear end flushes, cabin air filters, wiper blade replacement, fuel injection cleaners, and many others to even make a meager profit. The mobile oil change businesses have to do this a lot less because they have lower overhead but their profit margin still …

Car Accidents Involving Drivers With the Same Insurance

As unfortunate as getting into an accident is in the first place, there are a few advantages when the other driver has the same insurer as you.
For one, speaking to a representative at your own insurance company is always much easier and less of a hassle than contacting an adjustor from another insurer. Since you are a paying customer, adjustors will tend to provide quicker service than if …

How to Get a Military Personal Loan Up to 20,000 Dollars
Updated on August 4, 2017 by admin
Military families, just like traditional families, have needs that are sometimes unmet by the pay that an officer or soldier receives from serving his or her country. If you are serving or have served in the military, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, or Army Reserves, you can qualify for a military personal loan to meet your financial needs now.
Money For Any Purpose
A military personal loan can be used for any purpose. Perhaps you need to make a major purchase, such as furniture, appliances, or home improvement. Or maybe you need to buy a car, truck, SUV or other vehicle, take a vacation, pay for education for you or your children, or many other needs. Whatever reason you have for needing money, the fastest and easiest way to get the cash you need is through the military personal loan, and military personnel of all ranks qualify.
Borrow Up To $20,000
Military personal loans are available in amounts as small as $2,000 and as much as $20,000. Determine the amount that you need to borrow in advance of applying for your military loan, and borrow only the amount that you need. Remember that this is a loan and must be repaid, so never agree to a repayment amount that is more than you can meet with your current budget and other financial obligations. Military personal loans, just like other loans, will report either monthly or quarterly to the three major credit reporting bureaus – Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian.
Your military personal loan can be either unsecured or secured. The unsecured military personal loan does not require that you pledge security assets in the form of collateral to secure your cash, although you will be assessed a higher interest rate and usually have to repay your lender sooner. The unsecured version is perfect for the borrower who does not wish to risk their assets, or has nothing to use for collateral. The secured version requires that you pledge collateral, usually your home or automobile, and poses a lesser risk to the lender. Therefore, the secured military personal loan costs less in interest, can be repaid over a longer period of time, and features lower monthly payments.
Bad Credit Welcome
If your credit history is less than ideal, you might want to go for the secured military personal loan to improve your chances of approval. Borrowers with bad credit can also apply for their unsecured military personal loan with the help of a creditworthy cosigner. A cosigner should be someone who has established good credit, is willing to sign with you on your loan application, and agrees to repay the lender on your behalf if you fail to do so.
There are many lenders doing business online that write military personal loans for borrowers with all types of credit histories. These online lenders can typically save you money on both secured and unsecured military personal loans in terms of interest because of the increased level …

How To Get A Man To Spend Money On You? 3 Ways To Make A Man Want To Spend His Money On You!
Updated on August 10, 2017 by admin
Believe it or not, most men blow their hard earned money on things they care about; but more important on people they love and care for. So you may find a man eagerly blowing all his cash on his mom, sister, friends etc…. but not you.
But before you think he’s a complete jerk, you should know that he does want to treat you, but he has some reservations. All you have to do, is help remove those reservations and doubts about you, and he’ll be completely open to spending money on you. Here’s how to get a man to spend money on you:
Show You Can Take Care Of Yourself
Chances are, if he is avoiding helping you or giving you money; it’s because he doesn’t want you to be completely reliant on him. He doesn’t want to father you or treat you like a baby. He wants to treat you like a grown woman who can take care of herself. Only when he sees this is true, will he feel that he can lavish you by spending money on you.
Remember that men are afraid of being locked into a problematic situation. A girl who needs a man always to take care of her-self, in his mind, can be problematic; because she will always be on his case about what she needs and how she needs it. Thus he looks for a more independent woman who will value him for more than just a “fatherly” role.
Earn What You Are Asking For
If you want him to take you out to dinners more often, if you want him to buy you gifts more often, and if you simply want him to spend his money on you; you have to EARN it. Men love a challenge, and they dislike anything easy. It’s easy for him to give money, but it’s not easy for a woman to actually deserve and earn it.
He is trying to see what you truly care about here. Do you care about him, or just the money? IF you truly care about him, you’ll do what it takes to earn his trust and heart, which in turn makes him want to spend money on you.
Be Willing To Give
Men who spend money on women do such, because they feel that woman is giving him everything he needs. Now he clearly doesn’t need money, but what men do need, is emotional and mental support; understanding, and intimacy, for a start. They need a woman who would accept and understand him, before she would criticize and argue with him.
In essence, if you fulfill his deepest desires to be understood, cared for, loved, trusted etc…. then he will easily open up his world to you, in all aspects, including the financial one.…

The Importance of Good Negotiation Skills to Your Business Success
Updated on August 10, 2017 by admin
Having good negotiation skills can be the difference between success and failure in the business world. Those that know how to negotiate tend to rise to the top of whatever industry they are in. At the same time, those that do not know how to negotiate tend to stay where they are or fall backwards.
If you want to be successful in the industry, a study of developing negotiation skills should be at the forefront of your mind. Here are a few things to consider about the importance of good negotiation skills to your business success.
One of the primary benefits of having good negotiation skills is that you will be able to save money. If you represent your business or if you are negotiating for yourself, you will be able to negotiate a cheaper price when buying something. When making large purchases, you need to be able to negotiate with the sales representative and get a better price. If you simply take the price that is being offered to you, it is very possible that will get taken advantage of. Learning how to negotiate will allow you to save substantial amounts of money over a period of time.
Another important reason for developing good negotiation skills is that you will be able to make more money for your business as well. If you are trying to sell a product or secure a contract, you need to be able to negotiate in order to make it happen. By doing this, you will be able to secure a larger selling price and increase your profit margins. Increasing profit margins is one of the biggest objectives for most businesses. If you can learn how to do this, you will be invaluable to your employer and this will be directly related to your business success.
In addition to being a better negotiator, you will also develop several other traits that are essential in business. Many of the same skills that you use in negotiation will translate over to other areas of the business.
For example, when learning good negotiation skills, you will learn how to be an effective listener. In order to be successful in negotiation, you have to be able to listen to the other person to see what they want. This skill will be very valuable to you in other areas of the business. If you are a manager, you will need to be able to listen to your employees to see what motivates them. If you are dealing with customers, you need to be able to listen to what they are telling you so that you can find a product or service that matches their needs.
When you are aiming to achieve business success, developing good negotiation skills should be at the top of your priority list. This is by far one of the most important skills that you can develop as a businessperson. It can easily take you from where you currently are to where you eventually want to …

Can You Make Over $100,000 a Year in the Auto Repossession Business?
Updated on August 4, 2017 by admin
A common question in the repo industry is, “How much money do repo men make?”
If someone told you that you could make over $100,000 a year in a bad economy without a college degree, you’d think they were crazy. But some auto repo business owners are not only doing well – they’re making six-figures a year. When the economy does bad, they do better!
How Much Do Repo Men Make?
If you start your own auto repossession business, you can expect to earn $250 (or more) per repo’ed car. If you repossess two cars a night, five days a week, that’s $130,000 a year. It certainly requires hard work and determination, but it’s possible.
Repossession agents make the most money when lenders hire them to track down hard-to-find debtors – which is called “skip-tracing.” If a debtor voluntarily gives up their car (or if they’re easy to track-down,) an agent may only make $100 for the recovery.
Repo men who work for someone else typically earn 40{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} of the repo fee – or $70 to $100 per recovered vehicle (on average.)
What Are The Pros and Cons of Owning Your Own Repo Business?
While it’s true repo business owners make the most money, they have to pay for gas and overhead expenses before they get paid. And, as the motto in the repo industry goes, “no recovery, no pay.”
Fortunately, you don’t need to invest in expensive equipment to start a repo business. In fact, you usually don’t need a tow-truck!
That’s because many lenders keep key codes on file for every vehicle they own. Sometimes they even keep a spare set of keys! All you have to do is get a key made, find the car and drive it away.
You can invest in a minimal amount of equipment to get started, and reinvest your profits as your business grows.
What Are The Pros and Cons of Becoming a Repo Man for Someone Else?
Although there are advantages to owning your own business, many repo agents find it easier to get started working with an established repossession company. That’s because in some states, there are many hoops to jump through to become a licensed repossession business, including:
In fact, many repo businesses owners got their start working for someone else!
While the repo business isn’t for everyone, if you have a tough skin, a hard work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit, it can be lucrative whether you work for someone else or yourself. The key is getting adequate training before you head out into the field, so you can avoid common (and costly) mistakes!…

‘Mobile Oil Change’ Businesses Have Terrible Profit Margins
Updated on August 4, 2017 by admin
The oil change business is hard. I am not going to sugar coat it. I have been in the business for five years and I am telling you from first hand experience. I have done more research on the topic that several people put together. I am an authority. I know what I am talking about. There is no profits, at least one can actually build a business on, in oil changes.
This is coming from someone who is in the business. Whoever, no matter who he is, tells you that you can make a decent profit off oil changes, regardless of what kind, he is lying. He is either purposefully lying to you to make money or really does not know. The profit from oil changes cannot, and I do repeat for emphasis cannot, sustain a viable business. The whole quick lube model is so flawed its almost comical. And the typical mobile quick lube model is even more flawed at its core. I have met only one guy who has what I consider made a real profit from mobile oil changes and his name is Lance Winslow. I have spoken to the guy and he is very smart but in one of his posts he stated that he makes very little from his oil change company. It had just been one of many companies he has started that has allowed him to achieve wealth in this country.
Every quick lube, including Jiffy Lube, makes no money from oil changes. Mobile oil change businesses will quickly realize this. The cost for your typical oil change in the United States, using the cheapest oil you can find, is $15.00 with oil and filter. The going rate for an oil change in the US is $20-$30 per five quart oil oil change. That means that in most states the most one can profit from an oil change is $15.00. And that is being liberal with the numbers and not including fuel. Fifteen dollars per oil change is not going to sustain a viable business. Some vehicles are absolutely terrible to work on like certain Chevrolet Cavaliers and Land Rovers and will take you more than an hour minimum to do one oil change. What do you get for all this trouble? Maybe twenty dollars. Its the biggest joke going.
The only way most quick lube places can make money is buying really pushing add-ons. If you work at any quick lube and do not sell the customer on additional services they may or may not need than you will be terminated very fast. The quick lubes cannot make money any other way. They have to push unnecessary air filter, fuel filters, coolant flushes, transmission flushes, power steering flushes, rear end flushes, cabin air filters, wiper blade replacement, fuel injection cleaners, and many others to even make a meager profit. The mobile oil change businesses have to do this a lot less because they have lower overhead but their profit margin still …
