At long last we have been able to complete the first set of Motel Units here at Redgum Village.

With the need nowadays for ensuite rooms to suit just about all companies working in West Australia it only seemed right to supply them.

It does come at a huge cost for us as we are a private family business and rely on earnings from guests to pay for the upgrades. Even though we are constantly poring money back into the business we are in a catch 22 where we are damned if we do and go damned if we dont.

Even so every available cent has been used to make this happen as we know the need for the newer refurbished rooms.

The 4 new rooms are comfortable and freshly decorated to suit the immediate need of ensuited rooms. They still need a bit of decorating on the outside , although they are ready for use right now.

More of these units will be added in the very near future and we hope to have 2 more by the end of this year and be in use directly after the new year of 2010.

Trying to finance a expansion project here at Redgum Village in Dandaragan is proving to be a interesting experience.

Banks want so little risk that they are shying away from what we need to do, for they struggle to see guaranteed business income in these uncertain times.

Sure I can see where they are coming from but we have a great business here and we need to get it up to the next level, and that involves borrowing money.

We could look at selling a share of our business to get a cash injection, thats a possibility, with obviouse pros and cons.

We could approach less secure type financers that command extreme interest rates, which has its pros and cons too.

The first step towards starting a home business is to learn whether there is a market for the service or product you want to offer.

The secret seems to either come with something new and innovative that is poorly represented but highly useful or with a product that has competitors but brings a superior quality or feature that makes it stand out.

Even if there are other similar businesses on the market, you need to find the breech into the client’s way of thinking, get attention and then grow. This is the reason why many marketing experts talk about starting slow, going through all the stages of market conquest with a controlled form of risk.

Financing is an important issue when starting a home business, and sometimes one has to raise funds before being able to operate.

Bank loans require a very good marketing plan that you need to present to a financial board for acceptance, but you could also choose to take a personal loan and use the money as you see fit. The bank service is often considered more advantageous for starting a home business than actually selling shares to other parties.

Nevertheless, equity remains a solution for those businesses that want to keep the level of borrowing low.

Faith and controversy do go hand in hand these days as more and more people either grow cold towards religion or on the contrary feel the need to reassess their beliefs and redefine their spiritual world.

Preference for religious charms has thus increased given the fact that these tiny jewels work as reminders, guardians and fortune bearers for the person who wears them.

Presently, the range of availability is huge for different religious charms, from Christian crucifixes to Jewish or Chinese symbols. Sometimes cross-cultural elements enjoy popularity as well, with people adopting items specific to a religion other than their own.

Thus, it is not at all uncommon for a Christian to wear Buddhist religious charms so as to benefit from the blessings and the energy of the Buddha.

The good part of such tendencies becomes obvious if we think about the positive implications of religious charms: they represent a personal choice and a true statement that light and the way to God, no matter which that may be, remain ever present as part of the individual scope.

The symbolic charge and the emotion touch are two other dimensions specific to religious charms, as they are often chosen as tokens of love or elements of appreciation or recognition.
