Debt is taking a serious shape in the face of the global recession. A
large number of people have incurred insurmountable amount of debts
after the recent financial collapse in the US. If your financial
situation does not seem to be rosy then you should take a wise
decision to eliminate your financial woes. Generally, people take out
a secured business loan and they are required to use collateral
against the borrowed amount. If you do not want your assets to be
repossessed then you can consolidate bills with your credit card. 

 Consolidation is a type of refinancing where your
multiple loans are replaced with a new loan. It will be beneficial to
consolidate your secured debt with unsecured loan as the chance will
be low to lose you assets. Your assets will be secured if you
refinance with your credit card although your monthly payment might
increase.

1. Make sure that you prepare a list of the business debts that you owe
to the creditors. When you prepare a list of the debts ensure that
you incorporate the interest rate on each debt along with the monthly
payment. You should also estimate the total personal and business
assets you put up as collateral for the debt.

2. You should apply for a secured credit card with a limit of least 125%
of the business debt. If you have $30,000 as credit card debt then
your credit limit should not be less than the multiplication of
$30,000 x 1.25. Make sure that you apply for a credit card with
significantly low interest rate to make your payment affordable for
you.

3. You can check your new repayment plan after you refinance your
business debt with credit card. You can negotiate with the creditors
to lower the interest rate so that it will be easier for you to repay
after refinancing. You can use the lower introductory offers on the
credit cards while transferring the balance. When you can consolidate
your bills in to a low interest credit card then it will help to
lower your monthly payment.   

4. Evaluate your business budget so that you can manage the monthly
payment. Calculate your total monthly business bills and transfer it
to the new credit card payment, now you check the difference whether
you can afford to pay back. You can shop for low interest rate credit
then it will be affordable for you to pay off the owed amount.

Therefore, it is possible to refinance your business debt with credit card and
secure your valuable property from repossession.

Whether it’s a Muscovite driving a Chevy Niva or a resident of Mumbai purchasing her first Tata Nano, the demand for cars is skyrocketing. It took a century for the world to get to 500 million passenger vehicles on the roads. In the next 20 years, that number is expected to double to 1 billion, according to a recent report from J.D. Power and Associates.

The demand will come largely from the so-called emerging markets, led by Brazil, Russia, India and China. Already last year, for the first time ever, consumers in those nations bought more than half of the autos and light trucks sold in the world. Except for the United States and Canada, Chevrolet’s top 10 markets last year were all emerging nations.

That growth abroad has ramifications for American consumers. In the near term, it means more auto exports for U.S. and other established automakers. Thus, styling in the future may be driven by consumers in those nations, rather than by the tastes and preferences of U.S. drivers. In the long term, Americans may be choosing between a General Motors and a Chinese-made Geely.

There’s still “a fairly big gap” between South Korea, the latest country to storm the U.S. market, “and whoever the next big player might be,” says Bill Visnic, analyst and senior editor at Edmunds.com, an online auto research hub based in Santa Monica, Calif. But “China in particular has a really strong emphasis on improving their automobile manufacturing capabilities.”

The focus on China’s auto industry is particularly intense because of its market potential. In 2009, China passed the United States to become the world’s biggest auto market. By 2020, car sales in that Asian giant are expected to be double those in the United States.

That represents a huge opportunity for established automakers. While GM has been interring brands in North America (R.I.P., Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Geo, Hummer and Saturn), it’s been creating new ones in China, including Jiefang, a truck brand, and Wuling commercial vehicles, which join familiar nameplates such as Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick. Volkswagen’s stated goal of becoming the world’s largest automaker by 2018 depends heavily on its success in these emerging markets, especially China.

China is hardly the only story. India’s Tata Motors has made a bold move to upgrade Indian commuters from their bicycles and motor scooters into low-cost cars designed and made domestically. The Tata Nano, a basic minicar that sells for about $3,000, has had a rocky debut, including a few that have burst into flames.

The Nano “has had quality problems, they’ve had legal problems … they’ve had a number of things go wrong,” says Alan Baum, principal of Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Mich., a market research firm specializing in the auto industry. “But [Tata] will get it right. [It's] a global company that is up to world standards.”

In Russia, well-known global brands are coming in to form joint ventures with Russian companies or going it alone, Baum says. “They’ve kind of left in the dust the Russian companies” such as Lada, which he calls “not quite ready for prime time.” Chevrolet sold 116,233 vehicles in Russia last year, up from 104,398 in 2009. The Chevrolet Niva is one of the most popular foreign models there.

The Brazilian market, dominated by European automakers, is also booming. Sales soared more than 10 percent in 2010 over 2009 to 3.3 million, the fourth straight year of increases.

While much of the world’s new middle class will be sliding behind the wheel of their first Ford or Volkswagen, it’s not clear when U.S. drivers will do the same with emerging-market nameplates.

The Chinese “thought they were going to do what the South Koreans did, [only] in a lot shorter time, and they’ve realized maybe it’s not that easy,” Baum says. With only 1 car per 40 people in China (compared with 1 per 1.2 people in the United States), there’s plenty of pent-up domestic demand for China’s automakers. “They’re practicing on themselves” before they enter the U.S. market, he says.

When demand for cars in China cools, “as it’s starting to do now, then I think they’ll look outside of China,” says Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting at J.D. Power. There’s “no question” that China will be the next major player in the U.S. market, Schuster says. Chinese-made cars could be on U.S. roads in as little as five years.

Still, the Chinese must leap a daunting set of hurdles, including establishing a dealer network (or, more likely, partnering with an established brand), complying with U.S. safety regulations, and meeting U.S. consumer expectations for quality and features.

Thus, some of the first emerging-market vehicles to head to the United States in any appreciable numbers may come from Brazil and Argentina, which have strong sales of small trucks, a market that U.S.-based manufacturers have ignored in recent years, Visnic says.

Some of these home-grown automakers own foreign brands: China’s Geely (Volvo), China’s Hawtai Motor Group ($222 million invested in Saab) and India’s Tata (Land Rover and Jaguar). But Chinese- or Indian-made imports to the United States might not arrive under these luxurious brand names.

“You want to be careful,” Visnic says. “These brands are premium brands. There’s only so far down the price ladder that you want to extend a brand that has a premium history and reputation.”

What we’re seeing now, Baum says, is the tail wagging the dog. The Buick LaCrosse was developed in large part to make it attractive to Chinese, not American, buyers. “Buick is now designing a lot of its products with China in mind,” he says, “and then saying, ‘OK, now, what do we do to change them for North America and for Europe?’ ” Click to write a comment or read comments about this post.

Baltimore, MD, United States (AHN) – The General Motors electric motor plant being constructed near Baltimore will be doubly innovative in its use and conservation of energy.

The facility will be the first by a major U.S. automaker dedicated to making the critical components for vehicle electrification when the plant opens in 2013. Additionally, the state of the art facility will be partially powered by the sun.

On Tuesday, GM broke ground on the nearly $300 million plant. Electric motor design and production has become a core business for GM with the development and manufacture of plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles.

“We believe the future of sustainable transportation is electrically driven vehicles and this facility will help us maintain a leadership position within this category,” Mike Robinson, GM vice president for energy, environment and safety policy, said in a statement. “It’s fitting that green ‘motors of the future’ are being built at a facility well recognized for ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact.”

The campus will be powered in part by a 1.23-megawatt rooftop solar array and is expected to generate 9 percent of its annual energy consumption, saving approximately $330,000 during the life of the project.

“By harnessing solar energy from this array, GM will offset up to 1,103 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the air per year – equivalent to the emissions from 216 passenger vehicles,” said Robinson.

GM’s Baltimore operation also generates no landfill waste. It earned zero-landfill status in 2007 by recycling, reusing or converting to energy all waste from daily operations.
