I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff and I’ll Re-Inflate this Economy!

The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania helps Bail out the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) with a USD 56million Loan
The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania has joined a syndicate of local banks and pension funds to lend USD 238million to Tanesco, the parastatal electricity company, wholly owned by the Tanzanian government, money which will be used to pay off debts to suppliers and invest in new equipment. The National Microfinance Bank was founded in 1997, and is the third most profitable bank in Tanzania, holding USD 430million in deposits and assets. The loan to Tanesco supports NMB’s business interests, as well as those of its customers, as it organises collection services for the electricity firm via its network. Currently the Tanzanian government owns 51% of the bank, having sold off the remainder of its stake in 2005. The loan syndicate involved in the bail out includes five banks and four pension funds all from Tanzania.

Business Plans Don’t Last Forever
Business plans... you either love them or hate them. They are a beautiful thing when they create a unified focus and alignment across your company... And empower your team to go out and do what they must do to produce results. But fast-growing companies outgrow their business plans. Often, it is just a matter of time, because business plans don’t last forever! It’s highly likely you have outgrown your business plan when:
Extracting company profits to invest in property, using your pension
This month’s wealth article explores how profitable business owners can benefit, due to concessions in the finance act of 2004. Once your business is on track and delivering profits, the most important consideration is how to maximise you and your family’s future income for you from these profits. This article looks at a topic that has grabbed much media attention recently – using your profits to invest in a company pension, which uses property as the investment vehicle. A Pension Mortgage is one of the most tax efficient methods of repaying a loan on an investment property.

How to Build Wealth in a Struggling Economy
Gone are the days when a good old fashioned job yielded the best security for a person to provide for the family. Pension plans are extremely rare in the current economy. 401K plans are not producing the yields they once could. Real estate, once a solid investment, has seen corrections like never before. There is no more perfect time than now to find a way to build wealth and achieve financial freedom as an entrepreneur. But breaking out of the mold can be a frightening endeavor. Few people are successful at creating their own product, marketing, and selling.

Retirement Income Opportunities

Is the current pension crisis worrying you as to how you will cope financially when you retire? Occupational and private pensions have sadly not performed very well due to the current financial crisis and the state pension isn’t faring any better. By 2048 the retirement age will actually increase to 68. Not a great prospect for those of us already unhappy in our work. Here are some steps that can be taken to ease the burden and to help create some financial security for ourselves.

Owning a Small Business Can Be Like Living Alone On An Island
Can you remember when you decided to start your business? I am sure you felt the same nervous excitement I did! I remember when I first told my plans to my Mom. She said, "That sounds exciting Pete, but wouldn't you rather get a job with a big company so you can work hard and have a pension some day?" My response was, "No Mom, I don't want to be in a position where I know exactly what my paycheck is going to be each week." I wanted to know I had the ability to build something that would produce a large income, and perhaps one day I would build it to a point where I could sell it for enough money that I could retire to an island somewhere and drink pina coladas in the sun every day.
