Some Lesser Known Types Of Insurance

March 9th, 2011

The common and most popular insurance are home, auto and mortgage. There are also lesser known types of cover such as universal-life, variable universal-life and umbrella among others.

Universal-life cover is the same as whole life where a person contributes premiums and names a death benefit. This however is different from whole life in the sense that, a person can choose to change the rate of premiums and also rename a beneficiary. This policy puts up a cash value whereby a person contributing premiums can withdraw an excess amount of money later for personal use.

Variable-life is one unique type of insurance. Part of the policy is put into investment and this can be a good or a bad thing depending with the economy. If the investment increases, the death benefit will also increase but if there’s a loss in investments, the death benefit will decrease consistently.

Variable universal-life is a combination of variable and universal life insurance. A person has the right to change the amount of premium contributed each month and rename the beneficiary. This policy allows the company to use part of the contribution in investments and the same profit and loss sharing applies as in variable life.

With term life, a person can purchase cover for a short period of time for example from 1-30 years. This policy does not build up a cash value and because it is temporary; it is cheaper than permanent policy.

Umbrella cover is not popular among many individuals or companies. This all areas that other cover policies do not cover. Auto cover and home cover risks that can be investigated.

Umbrella insurance covers all what cannot be expected after home and auto cover have failed. The premiums for this cover are paid yearly and this is in addition to the other cover: auto and home cover. An example where umbrella insurance will benefit a person is when there has been a car accident and the court has ruled in favor of the other driver. This means that the driver who has to compensate for the accident needs to pay a lot of money and using the auto insurance cannot add up to the required value. The extra cash for paying the full compensation will come from umbrella insurance. A car that has been insured against collision alone will not benefit from insurance if a tree or people damage the car while rioting. The umbrella insurance will cover all these risks and including theft.

A Walk Down the History of Insurance

March 1st, 2011

Studies have shown that the idea of cover dates back to ancient times. It is known, for example, that the ancient Egyptians insured cargo shipped from one destination to another. The basic idea of cover is to guard against, or protect against, monetary loss of a product or object. The potential loss could occur during transit, or while stationary. The cost of this insurance is governed by time, the replacement value of the product, and the risk factor the product is exposed to. The risk of loss is greater, for example, in the ocean shipment of a product than it is by local land shipment. People have bought insurance against loss on almost every item imaginable. There are items that are uninsurable, but they are hard to find. Many cover Cos. specialize in “hard to insure items”. Lloyds of London is a famous example of a Co. that will supposedly write an insurance policy on anything! The cost of exotic or hard to replace items can be extremely high. It depends on the item, its uniqueness, and what it would cost to replace it, if it can be replaced. So, cover should be viewed and divided into categories.

Life cover is insuring against the loss of life. The cost of life insurance depends on the age of the person. How much longer will they live? The physical condition of the person. Do they have a terminal illness? And so forth. Life cover is also divided into categories. For example whole life, term, etc.

Ten Reasons Why Spreadsheets Will Give You Sleepless Nights!

July 12th, 2009

Spreadsheets are really great tools – they are fantastic for capturing data, calculations, scenario planning – but what they are not is they are not an ERP system! Despite this many business use them as such – allowing spreadsheets to be the backbone of key processes.

Here’s Ten reasons why you shouldn’t allow your spreadsheet applications to dominate your business!

1 – They are don’t follow business logic and don’t know about business processes – “what do you mean whenever we receive an order from Company ABC I have to record a reference number, check our stock and validate their account with the Finance dept? – My list doesn’t do that!”.

2 – They are not integrated – unless you come up with some whizzy code most spreadsheets are stand alone and focus specifically on the process they are setup to record “what do you mean you want my list of deliveries that I have in my spreadsheet to go and update my purchase order file and tell finance they can pay the supplier invoice?????

3 – While Excel has some great validation tools – most spreadsheets (unless configured to do so) are not built with this enabled – for example want to enter your date as 1 January 200010 – fire away!

Secrets of Starting Business Successfully

February 22nd, 2009

The American Dream is, and always will be, to come up with an idea, start a business and become rich from your own efforts. Based upon this motivation, thousands of businesses fail each year, due primarily to not being familiar with the basics involved in running a business.

This report will enlighten you, and give you a number of suggestions you can use to better guarantee your chances for success. This report is written with the warning that any and every business venture contains certain inherent risks, and any number of alternatives. We do not espouse that any one way is the right way or that our suggestions are the only way. On the contrary, we advise that before investing any money in a business venture, you seek counselling and help from a qualified accountant and/or attorney.

Just about the first thing you should consider before deciding to start or purchase a business is the legal form you’ll be operating under. There are basically four choices: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, and/or corporation.

Each has a number of advantages and disadvantages. We’ll try to enumerate some of them for you.

As much as anything else, for many people starting a business is a form of ego-gratification, and they form a corporation for some sort of prestige gain – just to say, “I own a corporation.”
