Most borrowers have heard of FHA home loans. They are very common. You hear about them mostly as loans for first time borrowers, which is common. However, most people don't realize that FHA loans can also be does for refinancing. They are not only for purchasing a house.HUD owns and operates FHA, which is a program designed to help borrowers who might have difficulty buying a house. If the borrower falls within FHA's requirements FHA insures the loan for the lender, which makes the loan very low risk for the lender, which is very good for the borrower. It could mean a lower interest rate, better terms and just an overall better loan.FHA's requirements are; a down payment of 3-5%, the home must be under the FHA's set loan limit for the county that the borrower lives in and a few ot
Union or Non-Union?
For AFTRA and/or SAG union talent, getting paid in a timely fashion is a benefit of union membership. It's built into the union contract. Union talents fill out a form at the session and then submit it to a paymaster (someone contracted with the union to handle talent payroll). The paymaster ensures that the talent is paid within a time period specified by the union contract.
Non-union talent and financial core talent doing non-union work are totally responsible for collecting what's owed to them. Financial core, if you aren't familiar with the term, refers to less than full union membership. Financial core union members have paid the portion of dues and fees dedicated strictly to collective bargaining, excluding any activity not directly related to collective bargaining. You might call it "union lite." Financial core members do not have voting rights and cannot hold elective office in the union, but they also do not have to abide by union rules and regulations.
Types of Clients
So, what payment policy should you, the non-union talent, adopt? Just as the Internet has changed the voice-over business by making the home voiceover studio possible, the Internet has changed collection by making it possible to take payment electronically. PayPal is just one of a number of the online options that make requesting immediate payment possible, instead of sending a paper invoice through the postal system and then waiting for a paper check to be sent to you. But before discussing methods of accepting payment, let's look at the various types of clients out there and the payment policy that may best apply to each one.
Most businesses base their payment policies on assessment of risk. Assessing the risk you take with a client usually is a matter of simple common sense. If an individual contacts you through your web site and asks you to narrate a wedding video or tribute to a deceased relative, then probably it would be wise to request payment up front before delivering the voice over. If the individual balks at paying up front, then you can agree to voice the script, play the v

Your interview date is set and you are feeling very optimistic. You’ve thought what you're going to say and you are feeling all prepared. You are confident that you will get the job without too much bother. You know what you need to ask them and how you are going to impress them with your knowledge and skills. Now before you go any further ask yourself these questions about how you will appear.Should I wear a Suit? It's a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview unless you know that the firm has a casual policy. If you do wear a suit go with something simple, in a neutral colour. The more conservative your field is, then the more conservative your suit should be For example, if you're applying for a job in an accountancy firm, go with a navy blue or dark grey suit; on the other

Do franchise regulations from the government help protect the franchise buyer this has been a big debate amongst franchising attorneys on both the Franchisor and the franchisee side of the law. Further, 13 states have instituted franchise regulations and required registration before a franchise or sells franchises to a resident in that state.Other states have become notification states and there are also a few of those, which require Franchisor's to send in their disclosure documents or Uniform Franchise Offering Circulars UFOCs. But does all this government oversight really help the consumer? The federal government at the Federal Trade Commission also has rules, which govern those states which do not provide franchising rules of their own. They require that disclosure documents are given
Working with ad agencies and production houses usually means giving up a little control of payment terms. You can request payment up front, but most ad agencies and production houses expect to be invoiced. You can put "due on receipt" on the invoice, but that is often interpreted as "30 days net." There are some excellent ad agencies and production houses out there that pay promptly, but very often you will have to wait 30 days or more for payment. Be aware: many smaller ad agencies and production houses have adopted a policy of not paying you until they get paid. In the ad biz, this means you can wait a long time for payment.
(On a personal note, after waiting a year for payment from a small agency for a VO I'd done for a local electronics and appliance retailer, I finally reached an agreement to accept a color television in lieu of cash. A couple of months later, the retailer went out of business, a victim of serious negative cash flow! Did the ad agency ever get paid? Good question.)
Doing voice work directly for mid-sized to large corporations usually means having to bill on a 30-day net basis. This means, in essence, that you end up offering 30 days credit interest-free. The good thing is the risk of not getting paid is usually low. Will some companies push payment out 60 days and even further? Yes, but again you'll eventually get paid.
Payment Options
So, let's go through the individual types of clients and your payment options.
For individuals, request immediate payment. As described above, play the completed voiceover down the phone to prove it was done and then ask for payment. Once payment is made, deliver the voice over.
For direct work with larger companies, ad age
