Owning a small business in this economy can be tough; creative thinking can help you grow or get the cash you need to survive and flourish. From getting the word out about your small business to coming up with money for inventory or expansion, here are some rarely mentioned tips and tricks that can help you succeed.

The Monthly Grapevine® 9040 Brentwood Boulevard, Suite B Brentwood, CA 94513 Main Office: 925.634.0880, Fax 925.634.7822 Write us at: info@monthlygrapevine.com

Successful business owners try to plan for every contingency, but know that sometimes life throws you a curve.

PRODUCT OF BLUEWATER PUBLISHING LLC

Small business owners should plan for downtimes and for growth opportunities -- which can sometimes happen at the same time. Needs may vary from cutting staff to acquiring more space. In addition, ask yourself how weather and market trends may affect your business; for example, a long winter can hurt restaurant owners but increase DVD sales.

A formal business plan can help you manage your company’s profits, but an unexpected event may require an influx of cash to expand, buy equipment, meet payroll and fund future growth.

With traditional lenders tightening credit and reporting requirements, many small businesses are turning to funding alternatives and cash advance programs

out the card. Each of these companies will start you out at an “entry level” limit such as $300, and then after steady on-time payment, raise your limit.

No Credit? Bad Credit? Start Rebuilding Now! In the current economic meltdown, one of the major issues many people are having is the effect on their credit. You have hurt or even ruined your credit, so what next? Besides the down payment, bad credit is one of the biggest obstacles to homeownership.

If your credit has taken a hit then step number ONE is to start reestablishing your history. Just because you had a set back, whether it is bankruptcy, foreclosure or a short sale, you CAN get new credit. I have had good luck with three credit card companies that specialize in reestablishing credit. Capitol One, www.capitalone.com; we have all seen their ads, is a popular choice due to the fact that they offer a no fee program. Two others that do have a fee, but I consider it reasonable are Credit One, www.creditonebank.com and Orchard Bank, www.orchardbank.com. I would caution everyone to be careful not to OVER USE the cards. It is conventional wisdom that you should never have a balance more that 40% to 50% of your limit even if you pay it off each month. You DO NOT want to “max”

One of the first things you should do is set a timetable for when you would like to buy a home. In order to set your time table, the next step is to find out what your credit reports say about you. I suggest contacting a lender. They can run your credit and help you review it to determine your buying power and ability. You also may order a credit report directly: Equifax (800-685-1111), Experian (888-397-3742), and TransUnion (800-888-4213). Once you have the report in hand, study it to make sure that the information is accurate. If there are discrepancies, make sure you follow the steps provided by the credit-reporting agency to dispute the information and get it changed. In addition, you may want to add a consumer statement on your credit report to explain any late or non-payment to creditors.

Again, this is a step you should review with your lender. Together you can make a plan of action that sets attainable goals within a realistic time frame Depending on how damaged your credit is, you may need to put off buying a home while you work on your credit profile. Use that time to repair your credit by paying off creditors and create a history of paying your bills on time and consistently.

However, just because you have blemishes on your credit doesn’t mean that it has to

Tran Gardening & Yardwork

be a dream deferred. It just means that you need to go into the home buying process knowledgeable about the challenges you may face. If you have had credit problems you can often explain to the lender why and what you have done to prevent the situation from occurring in the future.

In today’s real estate market an FHA loan is often the best vehicle for most borrowers.

It provides competitive interest rates and requires as little as 3.5% as a down payment.

Another option is a VA loan, which can go as high as $729,000 with NO money down.

Either of these loan methods are not as critical of credit scores or debt ratios as conventional financing can be.

During your search for a lender, don’t hesitate to give me a call for a referral. Be upfront about your credit record, so that he or she can best determine financing solutions that work for you.

Remember, it’s a GREAT time to buy and your past financial problems don’t have to stop you from experiencing the joys of homeownership.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Like a Big Pizza Pie, That’s Amore!

Summer heat got you down? Well, what a great time to look in on a local restaurant that can not only liven up a dreary day, but bring the whole family together for some fun and great food.

This assignment wasn’t too difficult, as I am a long time fan of Skipolini’s Pizza in Antioch. One of four restaurants, this place is more that just a pizza place.

When you walk through the front door, you know you are in for a treat when the wonderful aroma of fresh baked pizza fills the air. The floors are covered in sawdust and the sounds of laughter are everywhere. The long counter greets you with a bird’s eye view of the kitchen and the crew at work. Every time we go, we are always greeted with a big smile and a cordial hello. Now, the hard part comes. There is so much to choose from, your taste buds are telling you to try everything. The neat part is, if you

Famous for their Prego Pizza, this worldfamous labor-inducing masterpiece is known for putting the finishing touches on those pregnant mothers ready to deliver. Oddly enough, every time we go, it is a hungry man who is ordering this all-time favorite. From the traditional Combination and Vegetarian to Chicken Pepperoni and Creamy Pesto, they all start with the Skipolini’s famous pizza dough and are delivered to your table piping hot and full of flavor. They even have white sauce pizzas, including my favorite, the Martinelli, which has roasted garlic sauce, red bell pepper, roasted garlic, fresh spinach, cayenne chicken, dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese.

Now I bet you’re drooling.

With your wonderful meal, you can choose soft drinks, premium and domestic beers on tap and house wine by the glass or bottle. The best part about Skipolini’s other than their food is the atmosphere and back yard. Famous for after game gatherings and award nights for all sports, the place gives you a chance

Exceptional, Affordable Dental Care Tired of Uncomfortable Dentures?

Call for our special implant discount with mention of this ad.

Dental Implants Are The Answer!

Replacement teeth that look and feel natural! Dental implants are artificial roots that hold replacement teeth, dentures and bridges.

• Improved stability • Improved chewing • Improved comfort

• Improved appearance • Improved speech • Improved self-esteem

No More Adhesives Or Slipping!

CHEW BETTER! An implant allows a crown to be securely anchored to the jaw, leaving the adjacent teeth virtually untouched.

Implants allow for secure installation and easy removal of dentures.

• Eat, speak and chew naturally again.

• Missing teeth lead to shrinkage of the jawbone, causing the face to appear older.

• Loose dentures can result in slurred speech or clicking noises.
