			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-197" title="Personal-Loans" src="http://www.financesteer.com/wp-content/uploads/Personal-Loans.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="210" />Loans are practically debts and involve the redistribution of finances over time between a lender and a borrower. In case of a loan a person or borrower borrows a sum of money from a lender called the principal and is obligated to return either the same amount of money or the money in addition to a little interest.</p>
<p>Personal loans are generally taken for buying a car, a house, a factory or any other product that holds only one person responsible. Generally loans that are taken for multinational companies are not under the name of a single entity and therefore cannot be termed as a <a href="https://www.cashfirst.com.au/apply-now/">personal loan</a>.</p>
<p>The repayment of loans involves paying a certain sum of money at regular intervals. If the borrower signs a contract, he is under additional pressure and restrictions known as loan covenants. One of the many tasks and perhaps the most important of the financial institutions is providing loans. Other institutions rely on the issuing of debt contracts which are termed as bonds as their source of funding.</p>
<p>There are four types of loans involved: secured, unsecured, demand, and subsidized :</p>
<p>A secured loan refers to a type of loan where the borrower pledges an asset like car or property as collateral.</p>
<p>Unsecured loans are credit card loans and bank overdrafts while demand loans are short term loans that do not have a fixed time for the loan repayment. The interest is floating and can vary according to the prime rate.</p>
<p>A subsidized loan is one where the interest is reduced by a hidden subsidy. Student loans are examples of this type of loans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-183" style="margin: 10px;" title="isa" src="http://www.financesteer.com/wp-content/uploads/isa.jpg" alt="isa" width="260" height="366" />ISA stands for ‘Individual Savings Account’</strong>, and is a good way of saving money as it allows you to invest up to £7,200 per annum, without having to pay any tax on the interest that is earned.  This maximum limit is changing on 9 October 2009, and after this date anyone born on or before 5 April 1960 will be able to pay up to £10,200 into their ISA accounts per year.</p>
<p>ISA’s were introduced by the government back in 1999 to help encourage people to <strong>save and invest their money</strong>, and under the current rules if you were to save the maximum allowance (£7,200) every year for 40 years, then you could end up with a cash fund of over £288,000 (excluding any capital gains), which is securely protected from the tax man and ready for when you retire.</p>
<p>There are many <strong>different types of ISA</strong> available, and with some providers you will be able to pay money in whenever you want until you reach the maximum amount, but with others you may have to meet minimum investment limits before you can pay any money into your ISA.</p>
<p>Multiple ISAs<br />
You can invest in up to two ISA’s in the same tax year as long as it is split between one cash ISA and one Stocks and Shares ISA:<br />
*    <strong>Cash ISA </strong>– this type of ISA is ideal for short term saving as it is basically a tax free savings account which allows you easy access to your money. There are a variety of different cash ISA’s available offering a range of different interest rates including fixed and variable rates, and it is worth shopping around to make sure you get the <a href="http://www.isarates.org.uk/" target="_blank">highest interest  ISA</a> you can.<br />
*    <strong>Stocks and Shares ISA</strong> – this type of ISA is good for those people who want to invest money and can afford to leave it to mature without touching it for at least 5 years.  The cash you put into the account will be invested in stocks and shares, and any profits made from these investments will be protected from capital gains tax.</p>
