Internet Faxing The New Techology In Tele Communications

By Graham McKenzie

If you are considering Internet fax, but aren't sure if it would be right for you, take a moment to review the advantages before making your decision. The following is a list of these many advantages as compared to the old way of faxing, advantages which are both many and varied.

First, Internet fax is much more environmental than regular faxing. The traditional method of faxing made it impossible to decide what got printed and what didn't-everything received by the fax was printed regardless of what it was, which meant that any unwanted advertisements or solicitations got printed along with important documents. Of course this leads to a colossal waste of power, paper, and ink, so any business or individual who is of an environmental turn of mind should seriously consider switching to Internet fax, which is a greener, more environmentally conscious alternative.

First of all free internet fax services are provided by the fax service providers to only introduce this service to the customers. The customer can avail to this service to know more about the advantages this service has over the traditional fax. Of course the free web faxing service has several limitations and restrictions while using the service options. The customers who started using the free web faxing service will opt for using the paid service for a monthly cost.

Most of the web fax service providers, who are now offering free web faxing also have a monthly subscription service which has several added features and options than the free web faxing service. There can be various types of restrictions depending upon the service providers. In some free internet faxing service; the customers may have certain limitation in sending or receiving only 10 or 20 fax messages per month. Some free fax provider will only permit to receive the fax and some free fax provider will only permit to send the fax. If the customer needs to send and receive the fax without any hindrance, they have to upgrade their service to a paid option.

And, for those who wish to track their faxes but, again, haven't time, the fax service can do it for you, via comprehensive and detailed logs. Adding this feature to your service ensures that such lists will always be available and updated, for you to access and review.

These days, there are a number of online fax companies that provide their services of e faxing. You can check through the credentials of each one of them to decide upon the best company for you and one that suits the demands of your organization before final selection. You can decide upon the number of faxes you might need and the corresponding prices for the same without much hassles.

Since there are always new companies emerging in the market, there is a lot of competition between them. Most companies who want to attract new customers will provide free trial offers such as sending and receiving faxes for a longer period of time. It is better to take your own time before selecting the internet fax service providers by searching and comparing the rates and services offered between them. This will help you to find the best deal possible.

Take Your Company Public and Have Investors Begging You To Take Their Money

By James Scott

In these monetarily gloomy times businesses are looking outside the box for a localized injection of economic stimulus. Banks are hording their bags of government bailout money while the small business owner is forced to fend for themselves. Nothing but doom and gloom seem to infest all aspects of present and near future financial forecasts.

There is, however, a fiscal niche being carved out as we speak by wealthy, aggressive and eager angel investors. Angel investors, private investors, micro ticket investment partnerships and other alternative financing groups are spearheading a global rally to buy into promising mid-size companies from all industry genres. The elements of a viable company prime for investment are solid and realistic growth potential, talented 'who's who' executive staff with the right educational and professional pedigrees, minimal debt, a solid business plan laying out every minute intricacy that could affect growth, financial return and the exit strategy.

Another crucial element that is often overlooked but is a mandatory prerequisite for the SEC regulated exchange of cash for equity is a Private Placement Memorandum. A Private Placement Memorandum takes advantage of three powerful Regulation D Rule exemptions (Rule 504, Rule 505 and Rule 506) these are technical documents that spill the beans to the potential investor. In a PPM all the financial and industry risks are put on the table as well as stock prices, a breakdown of fund raising benchmarks and what the money will be used for etc.

A Private Placement Memorandum can be costly if you hire a law firm to custom author the package for you but there are consulting firms that will do this for as little as $6000.

If you are serious about raising funds for your company you need to add a Private Placement Memorandum to your list of necessary documents to hand off to the investors in order to get the cash you need in an expedient manner.

Raise Capital: PIPE, DPO, PPM, OTCBB, Pink Sheets or Reverse Mergers

By James Scott

There are many ways to use capital without using bank loans, lines of credit and other shady methods like shelf corps and bogus platform scams. If you are truly trying to raise capital for your company here are some simple breakdowns of your options with a quick definition for each one:

 PIPE: Private Investment In Public Equity this is used primarily by mutual funds and private investment firms where they buy discount stock in order to raise capital, there are two types of PIPEs traditional where common and preferred stock is issued at a set cap to raise money for the issuer and a structured pipe issues convertible debt.

 DPO: Direct Public Offering is when you sell equity shares directly to customers, suppliers and employees.

 PPM: Private Placement Memorandum is also known as an offering memorandum takes advantage of Regulation D rule exemptions 504, 505 and 506. This process came into existence with the'33 securities act and popularized in the late'80s, companies can raise money from the public via private placement; there is virtually zero interaction with the SEC after you file form d as long as you stay legal. (most popular form of fund raising).

 IPO: Initial Public Offering: extremely expensive, need SOX 404 audits, must have board of directors, quarterly financial reports to shareholders, report heavily to the SEC and 1 out of every 1000 companies that want an IPO actually qualify. I love participating in these but most companies just can't qualify for one reason or the other.

 OTCBB: Over the Counter Bulletin Board is an electronic quote system that is the next best thing if you can't go public via ipo, there is minimal red tape to startups and small businesses and is legitimized by the stringent ongoing reports to the SEC which keeps investor confidence high (these are extremely solid and I suggest this structure to companies when I am hired by their company or legal team as a consultant as a fast, easy way to raise big capital from the public otc)

 Pink Sheet: you can look at pink sheets as the Burger King, while the OTCBB is McDonalds, they are competing otc mechanisms. Pinks sheets are commonly referred to as penny stock and notorious for 'pump em' and dump em' controversies and a lot of crooked people are involved with this platform. This is not a long term process that will allow one's company to grow, pink sheets companies are typically short lived but it is cheap to set up but not a professional structure that could be upgraded in time to an IPO.

 Reverse Merger: a group funds the filing and creation of a public shell, they then sell that shell to a company that wants to go public, the established company merges it's entity into the public shell. The sellers retain around 30% equity after they charge an upfront fee of 300k to 1m. 99% of reverse mergers are successful with the merger, but unsuccessful to bring them to trade and the entity basically just fizzles out.

Taking your company public is actually quite simple and inexpensive when you have the right consultant putting the structure together for you. There are countless ways to raise capital quickly and easily. It's important that you understand your options before you waste time entering into the red tape infested banking system for a loan.

Do E-commerce Sites Regularly Settle Safety Problems?

By John B. Emmerson III

The real factor in e-commerce is, computer safety measures requires regular vigilance, and administrators must realize about potential troubles and ways to manage them. It is essential for a company to use a reputable, qualified hosting service or e-commerce source. Running do-it-yourself e-commerce servers may invite problem.

It is nearly unachievable to steal a customer's credit card number in a well configured e-commerce organization. To encrypt the credit card number and other information before it is sent, the customer's browser manages a safe connection; as soon as it's on the merchant's server, this data will stay encrypted. Thieves have no way to read it even if they capture this encrypted records.

E-commerce is in fact much more protected than real-world business. You're accepting the gamble that things you didn't order might arrive on after that month's statement when you leave your credit card receipt on a restaurant desk or give your credit card number to a phone operator. Still once you enter a credit card number on a reliable e-commerce site, you're sending it on a reliable connection to a server that's accessible only to authorized persons and protected against even the most strong-minded intruders.

An additional good reason why you should entrust e-commerce transactions is- all major credit card companies supply the same end user safety they offer with brick and mortar dealings. In the majority cases, this means the user is legally responsible for no more than $50 as long as they inform the unauthorized handling in a timely method. The consequences can be far worse for the organization from which the number was stolen, such occurrences can damage a company's status and probably expose it to authorized responsibility.

When shopping online, it is wise to search for "certification" logos. Such as Trust Guard logo, TRUSTe logo and other. It is surely a matter of huge cost to acquire certification, liike TRUSTe: the service gives small businesses a verified privacy statement and allows them to show the TRUSTe seal & their pricing starts at $49.00 per month.

A Look At A Postal Code Map

By Adriana Noton

Countries throughout the world use a postal code map in their postal stations. These maps are compiled for each country, state, country, and region and are kept in a centralized location where they are scanned into scanning machines that are used in postal stations throughout the world.

The kinds of scanners that are used for postal stations are often very large. Letters are collected from villages, towns, and small cities and transported to large, centralized distribution centers where the scanners read bar codes that have been placed on envelopes and parcels.

Many of these scanners also are made to reach the handwritten numbers and letters on envelopes. These letters are often more difficult for the scanner to read appropriately and, when it is not possible to discern the number or letter, the machine passes the letter or parcel to a human for review. The individual reviewing the letter will then direct the item to its appropriate distribution point.

People will find a postal station in almost every small town or city. Mail is distributed to, and collected from, the residents of the town. In most cases the mail is collected by services on a daily basis and transferred to the centralized station where it is sorted and shipped to distribution points in other regions.

The main scanning machines that are used in centralized stations are very large. When mail is dumped on the link chain conveyor it moves very quickly through an ever narrowing group of sorters that lead to the main point for scanning. As the mail is scanned, it is then directed to bins for local, national, and international distribution. When hand written letters or numbers cannot be read, the scanner sends the letters to a human who has a small handheld scanner. The code on the letter is scanned with the handheld scanner and the data is transmitted to the main computer. This allows the main scanner to read the numbers and letters when they come through again.

When the wrong postal code is placed on a parcel, it can be directed to the wrong country very easily. Many people put codes on their letters they are unsure of, when this occurs the letter or parcel can be missing for several years before it finally is returned or ends up at the correct address.

Scanning machines use a global postal code map that is built in to the hard drive of the system and updated regularly. An individual who does not put a postal code on a parcel will find that the postal station will put a label with the correct postal code on it so that the parcel will be sent to the proper location.

In many cases people are able to get maps that contain postal codes for their region or area. However, some large regions have several codes for cities and use many maps simultaneously in their distribution centers.
