Louisiana Tax Credits For Digital Media
marcsp
by marcsp  11-10-2009   
 Computers are being used more and more in the making of all kinds of movies, not just animated films. So is there that much difference between video game design and movie design? Louisiana is well positioned to capitalize on the growing film industry in the state to help grow a digital arts community. In New Orleans, we have always had a thriving artist community working in the construction of Mardi Gras floats. Good article and great concept.

CIT The Aftermath of BK
marcsp
by marcsp  11-2-2009   
 There are alternatives for clients of CIT. In the factoring industry there is enough capacity to handle the runoff. One very good solution is the Receivables Exchange whom we represent and are an approved introducing firm. The real concern in pursuing new business contracts is the release of the existing contracts and UCC filings.

Now Is The Time To Buy Your Building
marcsp
by marcsp  11-1-2009   
 If you are one of the lucky small businesses still doing well in this economy, you should give serious consideration to buying your own building. SBA interest rates have never been this low and will not last. Sellers are increasingly desperate to get rid of property. The opportunity is now.

Interest rates are going up
marcsp
by marcsp  10-31-2009   
 With short term rates at or near zero, they can't o lower. The only way way rates can go is up. The questions remain; how high and how fast. This article does a much better job than I can about explaining what the bond market is facing. maybe the move up in rates won't be as dramatic as the article suggests, but we all should prepare ourselves for it.

 Every business should check the credit of a buyer before making a sale. More importantly, if your client does ongoing business with your firm, their credit needs to be monitored at all times.

Forget About Starting That New Bank

 The Fed is making it almost impossible to start a new bank these days. The smart move is to play along with them and BUY a failed institution. FDIC will make you an offer you can't refuse.

 More good press for the city. Hopefully New Orleans will continue providing the incentives to attract young businesses. We should not consider ourselves in competition with other Louisiana cities, but rather all be on the same team. We should concentrate on building the 10/12 corridor.
