Necessary basics of business insurance Large and small businesses have seen their profits take a beating over the last year due to the financial crisis.

Multi-airline bag-drops could help to reduce airport check-in times

Holidays are meant to be a stress-free time, which is why once travel insurance, flights and hotels have been booked, most travellers immediately begin to look forward to a week or two away from the hassle of everyday life.

However, the reality is that many trips can often get off to a rather stressful start, particularly for those who are travelling during the school holidays, as long check-in queues are common sights at many major airports.

The last thing anyone wants is to have to spend hours waiting in line just to dump their luggage, only to then join another queue when passing through security.

Fortunately, steps are now being taken to reduce this problem, with Edinburgh airport having introduced the UK’s first multi-airline bag drop.

While several airports already operate manual check-in points, this is the first to allow passengers flying with a number of different companies to register their own luggage.

The way this works is that travellers first scan their boarding pass – which they will have printed off at home – before placing their bags on the conveyor belt. T Read more…

Life Insurance is for the Living – Have You Done Your Part?

Life insurance can be overwhelming.  You know on a rational level that death is a natural part of life, but even still, facing up to the responsibilities of death in modern society – namely, protecting your loved ones, paying off your debts, covering funeral costs, and settling your estate – is uncomfortable.  After all, it’s one thing to have an awareness of death, but it’s another to look the reality right in the face. 

The Risk of Waiting for Tomorrow

The problem is, however, that you cannot afford to avoid this somber topic.  The consequences of putting off the life insurance application can cause far more pain than you’ll get from tackling the issue head-on. 

Think about the sheer amount of stress added in a time of grief for a family without life insurance.  Funeral costs.  Financial turmoil.  Facing left-over debt.  Perhaps foregoing education for your children.

And the greatest risk lies in the fact that you get older and older each and every year, meaning your risk increases, and life can blindside you with an unforeseen condition at any time and render you uninsurable. 

Life Insurance Isn’t About Death!

The key to getting the best of the life insurance challenge is to realize life insurance isn’t about death; in fact, it’s not about you at all.  Life insurance is about and for the living. 

Because when you pass away, it is those left living that have to keep moving on, whether they like it or not.  Life insurance allows them to maintain as much quality of life as possible given the cards they are dealt.

And when you realize this, it becomes obvious that neglecting adequate protection hurts the people you love.

You can be the ultimate team player by helping to cushion the fall.  That way your loved ones can have the opportunity to get back up, and fulfill the hopes and dreams you have for them.

Getting Started is Easy

As much as you may be avoiding the process, facing mortality does not have to be a huge event. A life insurance

What you should know about changes to health insurance

Leah Shepherd

The health care reform law, also known as Obamacare, passed in 2010, and will be fully implemented in 2014. But so much is unknown about how consumers will be affected and whether they’ll end up paying more – or less – for health insurance.

Doug Field is the CEO and founder of the Institute for HealthCare Consumerism and FieldMedia, the parent company for HealthCare Consumerism Solutions magazine and EmployersWeb.com. He talked about health care reform and how it impacts consumers, especially the prices that consumers pay for health insurance and medical treatments.

Warren Buffett ‘Lunch’ Fetches $1 Million in eBay Charity Auction

The winning bidder and seven of their friends will join Warren Buffett for a three-hour-lunch at the Smith & Wollensky Restaurant in New York while benefitting a San Francisco charity, which was originally introduced to Mr Buffett by his wife.

According to James Massey, publisher of WhatSellsBest.com; I recently watched a couple of (video) interviews with past winners of the lunch-auction who also visited the charity. I was struck by how much they seemed to agree that Mr. Buffet has picked the beneficiary of the auction, as carefully as he would pick his investments or a business manager.

The beneficiary, the Glide Foundation.

Turbo-charged run-in with Go Car over warranty claim

Last August I bought a three-year-old Mazda 6 with just under 70,000 miles on the clock from an independent dealer. It had a new MOT and came with a full Mazda service history. I decided to take out an extended warranty and, after shopping around, I opted for a Go Car “Ultimate” warranty. It seemed very comprehensive and I paid £314.

On 1 November my car blew up in a cloud of smoke while on the outside lane of the motorway. After speaking to Go Car it was taken to the nearest Mazda dealer where it was diagnosed as having a turbo failure (the turbo shaft had cracked). The part was sent off to Go Car for assessment, which took 10 working days – 10 days without a car for work. They eventually got back to me and stated that the problem was due to wear and tear. Despite several calls to Go Car’s premium rate number they refused to budge. I was left with no choice but to pay the £1,355 to get the car repaired.

I appealed the claim but they are sticking by their original decision, claiming wear and tear due to “heat tarnishing” in the bearings and not a “sudden mechanical breakdown”. It
