Nexstar Money Masters Seminar
 

I'd like to thank everyone I met at the Nexstar Money Masters in New Orleans for the warm welcome and interest in the NSPG system. I'd also like to extend a special thanks to the folks at Stuart Services for their hospitality.

The Next Money Masters event is scheduled for January 21-22 in Boulder Colorado hosted by Tom Robichaud of Precision Plumbing & Heating.

For over 10 years, NSPG has been providing the tools that allow contractors to increase profits and minimize business hassles. With our simple-to-use-tools, you can make being a  business owner what you always wanted to it be - successful, profitable and rewarding.
Financing Your Future 
Financing parts of your business can make sense if you have your numbers in order. Once you know the cost of your loan, you can plug it into Numbers Cruncher to make it a regular part of your overhead. That way every job you do helps to pay the loan and keeps your business growing.

Fear of Borrowing
Many of us are allergic to borrowing.  The uncertainty about making payments during slow times keeps us from moving forward.  The success of your business can hinge on borrowing money sensibly. You want to borrow enough that your company can reach its potential but not so much that you have severe difficulty paying it back.

To learn more about loans and lenders, go to sba.gov/financing.

Loan Calculator
To help you make your best borrowing decision, we have added a loan calculator into the upcoming release of Numbers Cruncher. You will be able to do a generic loan calculation and then immediately place the monthly cost into your budget.

The new loan calculator is a planning tool that will help you see what a new truck, NSPG Numbers Cruncher Loan Calculatornew equipment, or even a new building can cost your business. Like the other parts of Numbers Cruncher, the Loan Calculator is a planning tool.  You must be sure that the terms of your loan fit your business plan.

To calculate your loan costs, enter the Loan Amount, Interest Rate, Term, and the First Payment date.  The loan calculates automatically. You can then plug the monthly payment into your Budget.

For those of you who can't wait for the release of the new Numbers Cruncher, we have put a simple loan calculator on NSPGweb.com that you can use right now.  Just remember that you MUST make sure the loan terms that your lender offers fit into your budget.
