Section 1: ALWAYS A Free audit for lower Merchants’ processing:
Our partnership with Newtek Merchants’ Processing Services includes cash advances and related business
products. We can offer an economical savings, all present processing equipment can be used and any
present contractual agreements settled at our expense. Annexed Exhibit 1 Information application (Credit
volume, contact, formal name of concern and other non credit details of the business. As the manager or
owner of a small business, you are probably very much aware of what a traditional small business loan is.
While small business loans can often save the day when your business finds itself short on cash, the
application process can be difficult, confusing, lengthy, and full of hassles. Believe it or not, small business
loans are not the only solution for securing additional cash for your company. So what is a merchant cash
advance, exactly?
Section 2: cash advance benefits vs. down side Cost:
Today's tight credit market, a merchant cash advance is a very easy and efficient way to get funding for
your business when you need it most. A merchant cash advance is a smart, safe, and simple solution to your
business' immediate cash flow needs. The business advance is much easier; advances are funded within a
couple of business days with no application fees, very little paperwork, and no collateral required and no
3. credit notifications. This makes obtaining a merchant cash advance more convenient than the typical
business loan. It is important to understand that a merchant cash advance is not a business loan. In fact, it's
not a loan at all. A merchant cash advance is what is known as credit and receivables funding which means
it is the purchase of your future credit card receivables at a discounted rate. Repayment is based on the
factoring of a fixed percentage of your daily credit card processing 3. The advance maturity period is usually
up to 6 months. So, if you bring in less sales one day, you pay back less for that day. If you need operating
capital but don't qualify for a traditional business loan because of poor or little credit or no collateral, a
merchant cash advance is a viable alternative for your company with sufficient credit card sales for the last
3 months you can qualify.
Section 3: aN ADDED PROTECTION - Payroll SERVICE WITH ERRORS AND OMITIONS
COVERAGE:
When selecting a payroll service, your options are numerous – and the ultimate price you pay will
depend on your company’s needs. Our research will give you a general idea of the costs involved. We
completed an online price quote, and then phoned to find out more information. The representative we
spoke with wanted a lot of highly specific data on our sample company. So, we’re going with the basic
quote found through the online calculator: $87.50 per payroll (not sure about the exact breakdown of
fees). Paychex has 2 distinct options for payroll services: 1 option is aimed at businesses with 1-49
employees, while the other is for firms with 50+ employees. Smaller companies (option 1) have the
option of submitting payroll data via phone, fax, or online. Estimated $96.75 a month Surepayroll is an
online solution targeting small businesses. They offer one comprehensive package that includes direct
deposit and tax filings. Estimated 87.50 per month intuit assisted payroll: $37.94 per payroll, or $82.21
per month. Note: set fees combined with other offered services will be modified or waived.
Section 4: Group medical coverage:
Group health, life, disability and related entitlements can be deducted. Our partner is licensed in
all 50 States and their combined resources will benefit you and your business with the best legal coverage
available. Additionally, related notices and/or forms will be prepared to protect you/your business from any
Local, State or Central Government penalties. There will be no additional fees and you can have peace of
mind in connection to these new mandates. At this point, mandate medical Insurance Government Law, on
interstate competition for medical coverage were not detailed or defined. We have a close watch on any
news or changes in connection competitive. We do have current facts on many potential savings that may
be acceptable and appear, for your benefit, in the future. We at Gramercy have no alliance to any insurance
group. We are consultants working in concert with our licensed partner for your benefit. Again there is no
obligation or cost to do any elevation for your special requirements. We work with your current insurance
professionals. We respect allegiances. We may just provide your present professional relationships with
some insights in connection to Government provisions We at Gramercy are not insurance agents, lawyer or
accountants. We provide the donut hole a new Government term, to fill gap. Lawyers for the most part
defend actions and/or documents as instructed and accountants’ count the beans and you other
professionals general provide the necessary coverage.
Section 5: Working Capital options
New ad campaign publicizes the banks plans to lend $10 billion to small businesses this year. Other banks,
also say they’ll extend more small-business loans. Bold promises, for sure. Just don’t expect to know many
details on how they’re delivered. Forget searching for “small business loans” on the banks’ Web sites to get
specifics on the progress of these new programs. Same goes for digging into the banks’ finances, because
4. you aren’t going to find this segment broken out in one spot.
Small businesses have been among the hardest hit by the tightening of credit over the last two years. Banks
have dramatically curbed loans to startups, those losing money or anyone with risks in their business
profile. Some 11 percent of the 2,114 small-business owners surveyed in National Federation of
Independent Business4 said that they couldn’t get their borrowing needs met, a record high. On February
by the flip side, only 27 percent were able to get the loans they needed, a record low for the survey since it
started in 1983. Then there’s the ambiguity of what could count as a new loan under these programs. The
answer varies from bank to bank. So don’t expect much change.
Section 6: government Small Business Administration GUARANTEES programs and how it may
AFFECT you.
The Gramercy is in partnership with a Nationally recognized Corporation NEWTEK helping entrepreneurs
achieve their business goals. NEWTEK has been designated as a Preferred Financial services company by
SBA. This provides potential borrows to have loans processed more quickly and efficiently than many
others. NEWTEK is presently associated with 1,600 banks thought the country. There are a number of
advantages to an SBA loan, including longer terms, no points at this time (Up for review September 2010),
and no balloon payments. Who is Eligible for an SBA Loan? Most for-profit small businesses are eligible
for an SBA guaranteed loan. This includes manufacturers, wholesale, retail and service businesses as well
as independent or franchise businesses. Loan Qualifications Retail and service businesses with sales (3-year
average) not exceeding $6 million to $20 million, depending on the industry.
Since last year, the SBA received Recovery Act money to make it easier for small businesses to borrow
money to expand or to simply stay afloat. Weekly loan approvals were up by 87 percent last year and the
agency approved $13.6 billion in loans. Earlier this month, the White House approved an extension of
breaks that make the loans great deals for those who qualify. There’s already a line of applicants waiting to
use that money which runs out at the end of the month. The White House is urging more money go to
sweetening SBA offerings for both banks and borrowers. Whether or not that happens is up to Congress.
Nevertheless, there’s still pie on the plate, but applying for a piece takes time, knowledge and quite often, a
banker who’s willing to serve it. Lots of exciting things are happing except no one is lending. Just a
handful of local banks that offer SBA loans admit that several clients have had to look outside of the area
for willing lenders.
The biggest problems are the smaller loans. The ARC program under the SBA is intended to give
struggling businesses money to pay off debts and stay up and running. While 5,100 loans were approved
throughout the country, local bankers, business owners and advisors uniformly call the program a failure.
Many banks shied away from the loans for fear that the reporting and bureaucracy involved would not
make them worth their while. That’s despite the fact that the loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the
government. Struggling business owners who have to show a profit within the past two years also are
turned off by criteria and paperwork that make the money seemingly untouchable. The program runs until
September. So for the immediate needs on working capital a merchants’ cash advance can play a big part in
securing a SBA under the ARC program with reasonable rates. Call it a modified bridge for low interest
long term money. We have the know how and the financial placement for your needs.

ANOT
HER CONSIDERATION FOR SMALL BUSINESS:
Rule 504D, which provides an exemption for non-reporting companies unless they are “blank check”
issuers or certain “shells”, stipulates that: The sale of up to $1,000,000 of securities in a 12-month period is
permitted provided that there is no general solicitation, the securities sold are restricted securities and
cannot be resold except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption, and a notice must be filed with
the SEC within 15 days after the first sale. Rule 504 does not provide an exemption under any state laws. In
certain limited circumstances where an offering is conducted under state accredited investor exemptions,
securities offered under Rule 504 may be freely transferrable.

Starting in 2014, the new Medical Insurance law will require nearly all Americans to have health insurance through an employer, a government program or by buying it directly.
All US citizens will be forced to have health insurance coverage considered acceptable by the US Government or else pay a fine of $95 in 2014, $325 in 2015, $695 in 2016
(capped at 2.5% of AGI). All of the fines are per person per year except for families have a cap on the total fine of $2,250 and the fine amount for children is half of the adult fine.
Businesses with 50 or more employees will face a fine of either $2,000 or $3,000 per employee for not offering health insurance coverage. The proposal includes part-time workers
in the calculations, counting two part-time workers as one full-time worker.

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is a lobbying organization with offices in Washington, D.C. USA, and in all 50 state capitals. NFIB
claims a membership base of about 350,000, down from an excess of more than 600,000 members. NFIB's lobbying efforts are focused on the impact of current

The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act of 2010 (H.R. 2847)
A law in the 111th United States Congress to provide payroll tax breaks and incentives for businesses to hire unemployed workers. Often characterized as a "jobs bill,"[1][2][3] the Democrats in
Congress insist that it is only one piece of a broader job creation legislative agenda, along with the Travel Promotion Act and other bills. The Senate passed the bill on February 24, 2010 by a
vote of 70-28. The House of Representatives followed on March 4, 2010, passing an amended version (in compliance with new pay-as-you-go rules) by a vote of 217-201. On March 17, the
Senate agreed to the House's amendment by a vote of 68-29, and sent the bill to President Barack Obama, who signed the bill on March 18, 2010.[4]
