1st Trust Factoring Introduces New Invoice Factoring Services That Allow Businesses To Free Up Time And Money

2007-09-07T00:00:00-08:00

Vergennes, Vermont (IPRWIRE) Fri, September 7th, 2007 -- 1st Trust Factoring (http://www.1sttrustfactoring.com) is proud to offer new services to businesses that need to free up cash to keep their operations running smoothly. Invoice factoring is a very common practice in which the business sells their invoices to a factoring company that will pay them for the balances of the invoices immediately. This allows for companies to continue to pay their bills, upgrade equipment, and make payroll without waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days until the invoice is paid in full. 1st Trust Factoring represents many of these institutional investment companies, matching customers up with the company that is right for their needs.

Purchasing receivables can help many different types of businesses, including small and medium sized hospitals, doctor offices, clinics, diagnostic facilities, physical therapy facilities, medical supply companies, medical laboratories, MRI facilities, substance abuse centers, nursing homes, and any other health related services that bill third parties such as Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies.

Invoice factoring allows for a company to raise the cash they need quickly instead of going to the bank for a loan. In short, factoring solves short term cash need problems that often exist in the medical and health services field.

When asked to give an example of the benefits that companies can expect with factoring, 1st Trust Factoring cited this example: “St. Joseph’s Clinic was growing and adding more doctors and nurses. As a result, the clinic was also seeing more patients and billing more receivables to third party payers. There became a larger need for cash sooner than third party payers normally pay their invoices.”

1st Trust Factoring went on to say, “St. Joseph’s Clinic decided to approach a cash flow consultant to see how factoring could improve their current situation. The factoring consultant demonstrated that factoring not only provides the needed cash, but the profit picture of the clinic improves as well. The cost of factoring is less than the gross profit minus variable cost, which creates a a win-win situation all around, with a 400% return on investment improving net profit.”

Because 1st Trust Factoring works with so many different companies within many different industries, they have a broad understanding of the necessary steps and required components that contribute to successful invoice factoring.

About 1st Trust Factoring:
1st Trust Factoring has been in business for four years, providing medical receivables consulting to many companies. The company is staffed by certified cash flow consultants who work to provide timely service to those who need to free up their cash. The company takes pride in their philanthropic activities, donating 10% of their profits to well known charities such as Heifer International and Habitat for Humanity.

CrystalTech Web Hosting Prepares for .NET 3.5 With Beta Offer

2007-07-24T00:00:00-08:00

Phoenix, AZ (IPRWIRE) July 13, 2007 – While the upcoming release of Microsoft’s .NET framework contains several bug fixes and updates (so-called “red bits”), it also brings a number of new assemblies and technologies (so called “green bits”) that net developers have been waiting to get their hands on. These green bits include AJAX, LINQ for both C# and VB, and enhancements to the tool sets that will help ease building applications using Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation.

“CrystalTech prides itself as one of the premiere Microsoft partners specializing in Windows web hosting,” said Robert Cichon, CrystalTech President. “We have been part of the Beta program with Microsoft and .NET since day one, and we were one of the first, if not THE first, to have a full-fledged web site management application based on the .NET framework. Our WebControlCenter™ is a prime example of the reliability, stability and security you can get when using the .NET framework.”

As with previous beta hosting plans CrystalTech offered, the plan based on .NET 3.5 will be free for a limited time. The Plan will offer enough disk space and bandwidth so that early adopters can get running on .NET 3.5 as quickly as possible. In addition, CrystalTech is considering offering .NET 3.5 on Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 as a separate beta Plan. “The future is now,” continued Cichon. “Even though Microsoft is still a few months away from having a release to market of its next generation server OS and platform, there’s no reason people can’t start seeing what is on the horizon.”

“This is a great way for those who are unfamiliar with our reputation for providing first-rate hosting solutions with the highest levels of service and support to try us out,” added Cichon. “CrystalTech was founded by developers and for developers. Catering to that market and following that business plan has served us well for the past ten years; there’s no reason to stop now,” Said Cichon. CrystalTech will release the beta plan for public consumption by the end of July.

Florida Home Builder Announces Affordable Housing In Turbulent Real Estate Market

2007-06-22T00:00:00-08:00

Lehigh Acres, Florida (IPRWIRE) Fri, Jun. 22nd, 2007 -- Hunter Homes (www.myhunterhomes.com) is a Florida home builder that is proud to announce their new home series. This builder understands that the needs of home buyers have changed over the last few years with a turbulent real estate market, rising property taxes, and increasing insurance costs. These market changes have forced most buyers to scale down their tastes for expensive homes, but this builder aims to provide affordable housing that also features the quality and style that buyers are looking for.

As it is currently very difficult to know where the market will be from one month to another, many buyers are finding that they cannot afford as much as they used to be able to. Hunter Homes is working to provide consumers with a series of affordable homes that will give them the space they want and the quality they want for much less. The first homes will be open for sale around Memorial Day in 2007, and more homes will follow throughout the summer.

Hunter Homes is optimistic that these homes will give home buyers the option to buy something that fits their budget. Many homebuyers are choosing to buy out of their price range, settle for a home that does not meet all of their needs, or simply keep renting. Hunter Homes believes that no one should have to make these choices, and instead potential home buyers should have a positive experience where they can find exactly what they need.

The mission statements on the Hunter Homes website reads, "Our mission is to provide customers with high quality construction and unique architecture, as well as one on one interaction with the contractor."

A recent poll from the National Association of Realtors states that 71% of those polled want to see the government place higher priority on making housing more affordable for renters and homeowners alike. In addition, 82% said that they support the construction of more affordable housing in their communities if the housing fits in with the area and is pleasant to look at. Finally, 73% of those polled said high rental costs make housing unaffordable in their area.

In order to solve this problem, Hunter Homes hopes to lead the way by providing housing that is both affordable and architecturally appealing.

For more information, visit the Hunter Homes website at www.myhunterhomes.com.

About Hunter Homes:
Hunter Homes was established in 2002, and has quickly become known as a company that uses quality materials, offers great architectural features, and caters to the needs of homebuyers in the Florida area. The company is currently working on a new affordable series of homes that compliments their existing lineup of quality built homes.

CrystalTech, A Web Hosting Company, Announces Support For Latest Programming Framework

2007-02-01T00:00:00-08:00

Phoenix, Arizona (IPRWIRE) Thurs, Feb. 1st, 2007 -- CrystalTech Web Hosting™ (www.crystaltech.com), a Newtek Business Services™ company (NASDAQ: NEWT), is pleased to announce support for ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 on all of its ASP.NET 2.0 shared hosting plans. ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 (formerly known as "Atlas") allows programmers to quickly create more efficient and interactive web content that works across the most popular internet browsers. With this framework, web developers can enhance existing web pages, or create next-generation interfaces, with powerful AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) components. The main benefit to programmers is that the AJAX interface accesses remote services and data directly from the web browser, thereby reducing the number of post backs to the host server. This action makes for a more seamless and natural experience for the end user.

"We are extremely pleased to offer ASP.NET developers support for this innovative framework," said Robert Cichon, CrystalTech’s President. "CrystalTech is completely committed to bring the latest technologies, like ASP.NET AJAX, to our customers quickly and affordably. With our feature-packed and economically-priced web hosting plans for ASP.NET 2.0, we want to provide our hosting customers the first opportunity to use this technology and take their websites to the next level."

New Online Surety Bonds Application Process Cuts Wait Time Dramatically

2007-01-30T00:04:00-08:00

New York, NY (IPRWIRE) Tue, Jan. 30th, 2007 -- Bernard Fleischer and Sons / Advanced Insurance Services (www.bfbond.com) is pleased to announce their new streamlined surety bonds application, which is now available online.

By developing and refining the surety bonds application process, they have been able to remove the usual complications and added work that most applications require, therefore making it much easier and faster to secure the needed instruments, often at a lower cost to the customer.

William G. Fleischer, president of the company, recently stated: "The bonding industry did not take a personal approach to its customers, often overlooking the problems that these people were experiencing in obtaining surety bonds. We have had meetings with Consumer Affairs, courts, attorneys, and underwriters from several top bonding companies to break this miscommunication and lack of understanding between the company and the customer, which has resulted in our ability to provide personal attention to both parties. Because of our streamlined process, we can often complete the process in one day."

He went on to state that, "As an example of how we work, a trust and will attorney came to us looking for an administrator bond. The administrator had issues regarding the detailed information needed to fulfill the long application process. Due to our streamlined process we were able to filter out unneeded information, directly communicate with our contacts at the bonding companies, and cut a week’s worth of work to just a couple of days."

When asked if there had been any new laws enacted that might impact his clients, Fleischer replied: "A new law passed requiring all mortgage brokers to be bonded. This caused a lot of confusion in this field of business. We saw the problem and immediately set up a meeting with the Banking Commission. We were able to alleviate some of the stress that this caused by creating an innovative one page surety bond form to be used by any mortgage broker in any state."

By working with their highly recognized affiliated bonding companies such as Travelers, CNA, Western Surety, Zurich, Old Republic, Merchants, and St. Paul as well as others, Bernard Fleischer and Sons is able to work with practically anyone who needs assistance.

New Website Offers Fantastic Deals On Extended TV Warranty Programs

2006-10-13T01:04:00-08:00

Brooklyn, NY (IPRWire) Fri, Oct. 13th, 2006—Mark Yarrobino, President of Maroon Enterprises (www.warrantydomain.com), is announcing the launch of their new website. Warranty Domain goes far beyond the usual extended TV warranty base and includes offers and programs for nearly every electronic device commonly used by today’s consumers.

Mark says: “We save people money in the long run on expensive repairs to their electronics.”

They offer affordable programs for an extended TV warranty, computers, stereos, VCR’s, camcorders, and even cell phones. There is not much that they cannot cover.

Mark goes on to say: “Added protection for electronics is a small but growing business, and we’re trying to bring it more into the mainstream.”

A couple of ways they are doing this is by first offering a 30-day money back guarantee so that customers can try their service with no risk. The second way they are bringing this niche market to the fore is by utilizing the very skilled abilities of RepairMaster, who specialize in repairing and refurbishing electronic devices.

The process is simple, and the idea behind it is fairly simple as well. Many consumers, when they first bought a device, passed up the added protection at the time of purchase. In many cases, that may have been a good idea considering the expense. However, as time goes by a consumer may want that added protection, and this is especially true for an extended TV warranty. By using Warranty Domain, they can now purchase that added protection at an affordable rate.

Once a program is purchased, the customer is sent a registration form that is taken to the RepairMaster website. The customer enters a membership number that was provided on the registration form and then answers a few questions, and that is all. The entire process is very streamlined.

For those individuals who own electronic devices, a visit to the new Warranty Domain website is a very wise and economical choice, especially when repair or replacement costs have increased considerably.

About Maroon Enterprises:

Maroon Enterprises (www.warrantydomain.com) was founded in 2001 in New York City. This is their first website, launched in May 2006.

First Online Pharmacy With Innovative “No Insurance,” “Cash Only” Business Model, Offers Lowest Prices

2006-05-01T01:30:00-08:00

Seattle, WA (IPR Wire) May, 2006 -- At Save Now Discount Pharmacy, the cost of a generic prescription is usually less than the same generic prescription in Canada and a ninety-day supply is often less than an insurance co-pay. For seniors the every day price on many branded drugs is less expensive than a purchase with the Medicare Discount Card. For the uninsured, Save
Now is an oasis in the desert.

Save Now is the first pharmacy in the state of Washington to adopt a unique and innovative “no insurance” business model. Save Now Discount Pharmacy has found that, by eliminating insurance companies, the cost of providing prescriptions to customers is greatly reduced. This very often allows Save Now to sell medications at prices lower than other retail pharmacies including online drug stores, Canadian pharmacies, and membership warehouses.

Open little more than a year, Save Now Discount Pharmacy is proving its “no insurance” business model is sound. They have attained the break-even point and are seeing continued growth, especially in their newest arena – interstate online sales. Save Now is licensed in thirteen states with plans to become licensed in all fifty. Save Now’s discount prices are available locally and nationally via phone, mail order, and online at www.savenowdrugs.com.

The goal of Save Now Discount Pharmacy is to provide affordable prices for prescription drugs, regardless of coverage, while offering the valuable service of consulting directly with a licensed pharmacist. Save Now accepts cash, checks, and credit cards. Insured customers can submit prescription receipts to their insurance companies for reimbursement.

Relationships with insurance companies are expensive for pharmacies. It typically takes at least one full-time person to process claims, and then monitor and process payments. Todd McElroy, founder and President of Save Now Discount Pharmacy, is proving, by eliminating this costly relationship, that his unique business model can “bring affordable medications to all…while maintaining a superior level of service and care for our customers. For those now getting their medications in Canada, we want to be the ‘at home’ alternative.”

About Save Now
Save Now opened May 2004. Save Now Discount Pharmacy, located at the Mervyn’s Plaza in Lynnwood, Washington, is a complete full service pharmacy with over the counter items, home medical equipment, and health care screenings. More retail locations are planned.

Tenrox Announces a FREE Timesheet Software Readiness Test

2006-02-01T01:21:00-08:00

(IPR Wire) Pasadena, CA -- Tenrox, a leading provider of project governance solutions, today announced the availability of a FREE Timesheet Readiness Test on the company’s website www.timesheet.com -- The test, examines several focus areas such as preparing for deployment, integration, reporting, and establishing the right culture for time and expense reporting, and helps the company assess its readiness for rolling out and adopting a timesheet management system.

This test has been designed with years of experience in working with hundreds of companies who have rolled timesheet management programs. Over time, essential factors were identified as the best practices to maximize the probability of a positive outcome for such an initiative.

This test provides an organization with a quick assessment of its “effort tracking” maturity level. Effort tracking is defined as the actual amount of time people spend doing the work, whether it is administrative, training, project related or billable. It highlights some of the key areas a company should be aware of before jumping into a potentially disruptive and expensive enterprise software initiative. It provides the basic information needed to create awareness and “buy-in” about a timesheet project in an organization. This test also serves as a preparation checklist to help initiate a successful time tracking system. Anything less than high marks in this test can indicate that more preparation and planning are necessary before implementing such a system.

To see and take the test please visit: http://www.timesheet.com/en/about/free_timesheet_test.htm
