Author Growing Number of People Using Solo 401(k) Plan Loan To Pay Off Credit Card Debt, According To IRA Financial Group Survey
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 24, 2015
IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed solo 401(k) plans for self-employed and small business owners with no full-time employees, announces the results of its internal survey which showed a large number of people looking to use the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a means for paying off their credit card debt.
“Due to very high interest rates surrounding most credit card debt and the heavy financial burden it has on the individuals, more people are turning to the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a way of paying off the credit card debt with a lower interest rate, “ stated Susan Glass, a tax specialist with the IRA Financial Group. “People are so excited when they lean that they can access up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free from their 401(k) plan and use the solo 401(k) plan loan as a way of replace a high interest rate credit card loan with a low interest rate solo 401(k) plan loan, “ stated Ms. Glass. “The best part of the solo 401(k) plan loan is that you can get tax-free and penalty free access to your retirement funds and use them to pay off the credit card debt and at the same time pay your plan back, which in-turn increases the value of the loan, “ stated Ms. Glass.
Internal Revenue Code Section 72(p) allows a Solo 401K Plan participant to take a loan from his or her 401K Plan so as long as it is permitted pursuant to the business’s 401K Plan documents.
A solo 401k loan is permitted at any time using the accumulated balance of the solo 401k as collateral for the loan. A Solo 401(k) participant can borrow up to either $ 50,000 or 50% of their account value – whichever is less. This loan has to be repaid over an amortization schedule of 5 years or less with payment frequency no less than quarterly. The lowest interest rate that can be used is Prime as per the Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.25%.
With IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401K plan loan feature, a self-employed individual or small business owner with no employees can borrow up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free and use those funds to pay off student loan debt. There are no penalties or taxes due provided loan payments are paid on time. “The Solo 401(k) Plan loan has proved to be an appealing financing option to paying off high interest rate credit card debt and secure cheaper self- financing”, stated Ms. Glass.
IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401k Plan documents will allow a self-employed individual to use a loan from your Solo 401k for any purpose, including paying off debt, such as a mortgage, personal loan, or student debt. “In 2015, we have already helped hundreds of individuals use the Solo 401(k) Plan loan feature as a way to access at least $ 50,000 of retirement funds without tax or penalty to use for any purpose, including for use in paying off personal debt, such as credit card and student loans, “ stated Adam Bergman, a tax partner with the IRA Financial Group.
The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, and Thelen LLP.
IRA Financial Group is the leading provider of Solo 401(k) Plan solutions. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate and private business investments without custodian consent.

LeaseQ Offers Leasing To One Of The Fastest Growing Industries Today – The Construction Equipment Industry
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 24, 2014
According to a study done by Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), the construction industry is recovering from the recession at a rapid pace. This trend has had a significantly positive impact on the U.S economy given that the industry now supports hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs and billions in economic activity.
The study was conducted in order to determine how the construction industry weathered the recent economic recession as well as its overall performance over the past ten years. The study was also meant to clarify the construction equipment industry’s economic footprint.
Infrastructure project growth could be the reason behind the continued progress in the construction industry. In addition, mining activities have also increased – which has positively impacted the industry in the recent past.
Additionally, the use of advanced machinery over traditional construction machinery has increased over the past few years due to technological development. Acquisition of this advanced machinery through options such as leasing is expected to fuel market growth over the next few years because of its cost effectiveness.

However, a major challenge facing the construction industry right now is meeting the stringent fuel emitting standards set by regulatory authorities. Heavy construction equipment is known to emit toxic gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
New machinery technology enhances construction productivity. Vernon Tirey, CEO and Founder of LeaseQ was quoted as saying; “Most construction activities have moved from hand tools to electric powered tools and some technologies even provide new capabilities to construction equipment. However, many construction companies may not have sufficient capital to fund acquisition of this equipment. This is why we offer equipment leasing through our online platform.”
LeaseQ Is Now Offering Construction Equipment Leasing
New equipment technologies and advances in building materials have helped mitigate the rising costs of construction. There is plenty of good news for companies trying to decide which type of construction equipment meets their needs. LeaseQ leases equipment such as dump trailers, skid loaders, cement trucks, concrete pumps, compactors, specialty pumps and ditch witches among other types of equipment – making those item cost effective for the growing construction industry.

Growing Popularity of Soundbars & Wireless Speakers Drive the Global Loudspeakers Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Follow us on LinkedIn – As a component of music systems, loudspeakers assume significant importance as the quality of the sound reproduced depends on the technological sophistication of the speaker system. Demand for loudspeakers primarily depends on consumer spending on audio entertainment devices. Penetration levels of audio equipment such as DVD/CD Players, Blu-Ray Devices, MP3 players, Home Theater Systems, PCs, LCDs, LEDs, and other multimedia devices therefore dictate market prospects for speakers.
The market is poised to benefit from the growing consumer preference for in-home entertainment systems. Indicating change in consumer lifestyle and choice of entertainment, the trend towards At-Home Entertainment is fast gaining strength. Against the backdrop of volatile economic conditions, watching movies, listening to favorite music, or playing games at home is proving to be an economical option in comparison to expensive leisure pursuits such as vacations, dining out or watching movie screenings. The trend directly boosts demand for sophisticated loudspeakers that can enhance audio from TV shows, digital movies or games. Also encouraging growth in the market is the rising adoption of high-end home theater systems, which creates significant opportunities for satellite/subwoofer systems, in-wall speakers and soundbars. Huge demand for home automation solutions among luxury homeowners also creates demand for strategically placed outdoor speakers.
The market also stands to benefit from the robust pace of technology developments.

Growing demand for mobility, increasing proliferation of connected devices and rising penetration of Wi-Fi networks is making wireless connectivity a standard feature in urban households. While ‘audio quality’ has long been the only product feature influencing consumer purchase decisions, the future will witness the speakers’ ability to wirelessly connect with mobile devices as a key deciding factor. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled speakers are therefore growing in popularity and are boosting market prospects for the overall market. Growing preference for wireless connectivity can be put to perspective by the fact that almost all speaker categories, including soundbars, mobile docking speakers, and even in-wall units are now being re-designed to incorporate wireless connectivity.
As stated by the new market research report on Loudspeakers, Europe represents the largest market worldwide both in terms of volume and dollar sales.
