  • Consumer scams – don’t be a victim
    Fraudsters are continually coming up with new ways to con unsuspecting
    people into parting with their money, and with the internet, email and
    mobile phones it’s becoming easier and easier for them.
  • Increase the value of your home – build or extend
    Once upon a time, investing in property was a sure-fire way to make
    money, but as the property market has slowed down over recent years,
    homeowners need to be wise about how they maintain and improve their
    property in order to make money from it as buyers are becoming more
    demanding.
  • Increase the value of your home – cosmetic changes
    The property market is very unpredictable nowadays – sales are slower
    and buyers more demanding. It can therefore be difficult to make a
    profit on selling your home unless you think carefully about how to
    make it more marketable.
  • Self-build – finance your dream home
    Having your very own, custom-built dream home is a lot easier and
    cheaper than you might think. Although building your own property
    involves a great deal of planning and hard work, it’s within the reach
    of most people, especially now that many mortgage lenders will lend on
    self-build properties.
  • Islamic finances
    If you’re Muslim and are concerned about financial products that comply
    with Sharia Law, there are more and more options available to you

    opened its headquarters in Birmingham in 2004, offering a range of
    products and services such as pensions, mortgages and loans.

    Once you’ve got a good idea of whether your business is viable and
    you’ve analysed the market, it’s time to draw up a business plan.
  • Is being self-employed the right thing for you?
    As well as being viable from a business perspective, it’s also crucial
    that setting up a company is appropriate for your personal needs. It’s
    a huge commitment that will require a lot of hard work, so you need to
    be sure that you’re up to it and that your lifestyle can support it.
  • How to create a good business idea?
    The two key ingredients of a successful business are a reasonable
    business idea and a thorough business plan, which will put the meat on
    the bones and turn your idea into something concrete and viable.
  • How do I obtain capital to invest in my business start up?
    You’ll almost certainly need to raise money to start up your company,
    unless you already have sufficient capital yourself. The typical costs
    of starting up are in obtaining premises, manufacturing your product if
    you have one, buying materials, stock or equipment, marketing and fees
    for external consultancy such as legal help, accountancy etc.
  • Gas guzzlers: the cost of running a car today
    We’re a nation of car users – although not always by choice. Expensive and unreliable public transport systems have forced many of us onto the roads, but having a car certainly isn’t a cheap alternative. The cost of owning a car, even if you don’t use it much, is very expensive.

    Why shouldn’t you take advantage of the offers if they’re there for the taking?

    A commercial mortgage is similar in principle to a residential mortgage except
