What Is Invoice Finance And When Should You Use It?

Simply put, Invoice Finance refers to the short term loan provided by various financing companies to supplement a business with working capital. When a business provides a product or service to a company it issues an invoice to the buyer. Depending on the nature of business, there can be several situations when the business receives the payment in a time of 30-90 days. While the payment is being processed, the business would often require working capital to maintain itself for those 30-90 days. Invoice Finance is a loan provided by financial institutes utilizing the unpaid sales invoices as collateral.

Entrepreneur Develops Food-Based Neighborhood

Cedric Naudon is a wealthy French entrepreneur with a penchant for fine food. Nothing notable there— French foodies are a dime a dozen. But unlike most those other foodies, Naudon owns half of a neighborhood in Paris, and his plans for the area would make anyone’s mouth water.

Naudon’s plan for the neighborhood, as featured in The New York Times, is to turn the area into an epicurean village called La Jeune Rue (Young Street).

Developed with the help of an international team of designers, the plans include a butchery, a cheesemonger, an organic bakery, an oyster bar, a fishmonger, ethnic restaurants, and a clique of neighborhood mainstays. The butchery will include a library to allow patrons to read all about the cuts on offer. Continue reading “Entrepreneur Develops Food-Based Neighborhood”

The Pick For The Best Of Ireland From LiveAndInvestOverseas

When I’m asked to recommend a single spot in Ireland for the would-be retiree, I come up with at least five possibilities. Then, for each place, I ask one critical question: Could a non-local (one not born into a harsh Irish winter) survive here year-round? Is there enough to amuse when the nights are long and it rains for a week at a time? The one place that stands out to me right now—passing this year-round test with flying colors—is Kilkenny.

This “Medieval city” (now officially a town) is the arts and artisanal center of Ireland. From April to October, its streets buzz with local and tourist shoppers in search of unique clothing, gifts, and home-wares. They come in the winter months, too, though in lesser numbers. The big event in town is the annual Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in June that attracts comedy fans from around the world, while November’s Kilkenomics Festival—a quirky marriage of economists and comedians from around the world—is growing in popularity. And, any time boredom strikes, you can reach Dublin in 70 minutes by direct motorway.

The whole county of Kilkenny deserves to be explored, particularly those towns and villages along the Nore and Barrow rivers. Dotted between patchwork fields representing every shade of green, you’ll find potters, glassmakers, and jewelry designers, all inspired by the natural beauty surrounding them.

Logos joins and supports Central European Bitcoin Expo 2014 this weekend in Vienna

Until 6 months ago I didn’t even know how big the industry of virtual currencies or crypto currencies is and how many very specialised jobs were created in the last years to support it. In the meantime I had the privilege to start using my knowledge and experience and support the marketing team and the launch of a new (and) amazing player in this market – Logos. As in the last years I’ve attended RE/MAX European Conventions in Vienna – starting this year it will be in Barcelona I have to say that Vienna is a great choice for corporate events.
