Changing how we Work from Home by Changing Home

0

2020, and most likely 2021, will be a fascinating period to study in the not too distant future. I’m not talking about the news or what history will say about this last year and change, but for those who study sociology, the housing market, and human behaviour, it is going to be incredibly interesting. With most of us are now cooped up indoors to work, rest and play, our view of work is changing. My thoughts stem from one small but mighty shift that you may be experiencing right now while reading this; working from home.

To say that the regular working environment is gone forever may feel like grasping at straws. Still, the truth is that with so many businesses now settled into a system of remote working, even when things have passed and the majority of people are vaccinated, I am struggling to see a complete return to the norm in how we collectively approach the average working day. For those now working from their kitchen table or spare room reading this, can you even imagine getting up every weekday morning for a lengthy commute when the alternative is a bit of yoga, brewing a good cup of coffee, and listening to your favourite music before clocking in?

With The Guardian reporting that the percentage of people in the UK exclusively working from home is sitting around 25%, and the figure holding steady for the time being, there are going to be some unique knock-on effects for how we live and work. I want to take a quick look through some of those ideas, and how the ways we live are going to shift without anyone really taking notice.

How many bedrooms? No! How many offices!

The property market has been fascinating to watch this last year, with the Stamp Duty holiday and mortgage rates making things more competitive than they should for a market which was supposed to be quite dormant. One can only assume that many first-time buyers making the decision couldn’t hack living with their parents under one roof anymore.

One of the immediate effects of home working is now cropping up more frequently on property sites. It used to be that you would be looking for a home with the right number of bedrooms and working backwards from there. Now though, many estate agents are ditching the idyllic three-bed for a one or two bed with one room now acting as dedicated office space. Those looking to move into new homes are looking to free themselves from hunching over the dining room table or have to use a bunch of books as a makeshift laptop holder in the spare room.

You only have to look at Google Trends to see that the popularity in “home office furniture” didn’t just peak when the first lockdown was announced and then flatten out. It has increased in popularity over time. People now want to live somewhere where they have dedicated working space instead of carving out a corner of the room. It highlights a changing attitude, which gets even more interesting when looking at how big cities are handling the shift.

Living it up with all the mod-cons

I don’t know about you, but I had a love/hate relationship with commuting. I was in the lucky position of being close enough to the office that I could leisurely walk while listening to podcasts on dry days, and quickly nip on any passing bus on those miserable mornings where the sky is as grey as can be.  For the vast majority of people, commuting has been something akin to a necessary evil. With the TUC discovering last year that the average commute to work in the UK was 59 minutes each way every day, when you get your calculator out and start totting it up, you’re looking at either a generous amount of time to listen to podcasts, or hours wasted.

So what are some cities like London doing in the absence of commuters to make people want to stick around? Well, it requires a little out the box thinking and understanding that people want something more while everything else is closed.

There’s a very unique example of this happening right in the middle of London’s Canary Wharf, which I feel may soon become a common theme in letting. Take a look here at this two-bedroom apartment from Vertus. It looks like a lovely place to live in an area of London which is becoming more residential. But what makes it so special? It is already fully equipped with mod-cons but goes way beyond that to offer tenants a roof terrace, private bar, screening room, garden and private dining room.

For those who are clocking out at 5 pm from the kitchen table, and can only go as far as the back gate to move around, additional services like these will make people want to live there. I miss the cinema just as much as anyone else, so imagine what it must feel like to say “ok, work is done, I may as well just book a slot in the cinema downstairs or do a quick workout up on the roof terrace”.

The desirability of access to services when renting will only get more desirable when you remember what I said earlier; people spend too long commuting. Apartments like these could see people opt to live in the city closer to work, and why would they do that…

Flexibility above all else

Even though your part of the world may be in “lockdown”, people still want some control over how their day can go. Examples like I’ve mentioned above are only going to shift how we look at buying, selling, and renting accommodation in the near future. After the stamp duty holiday is over, and businesses start to lean on asking staff whether they think remote life is working for them (expect office downsizing, which is another story for another day), the average person will look to changing their home and living space to suit their needs.

I’m not saying it will happen overnight, but when you’re looking at a house or flat in the future, don’t be surprised if the agent declares that “the home office is ideally suited for peace and quiet”.

Then again, I am writing this from my kitchen table, so what do I know?

Five Most Common Types of Insurance Fraud

0

The insurance industry is enormous. It consists of over 7,000 individual companies, and around $1 trillion premiums are cumulatively accumulated each year. Nevertheless, whenever such great streams of money are involved, there is almost always plenty of fraudulent activity.

Most regular consumers might not be aware of insurance fraud. However, insurance fraud is the second biggest target for fraudsters after banking fraud, costing over $40 billion annually. You might be thinking that insurance fraud does not concern you directly, unless, of course, if it happens to you one day. But here’s where you’re wrong, as insurance fraud is predicted to cost American families around $400 to $700 each year in increased premiums.

With that in mind, here are the five most frequent types of insurance fraud to keep you informed:

  1. Insurance company fraud

Insurance fraud can be committed by both policy holders and insurance companies. In the instance of insurance company fraud, policyholders become the victim of fraudulent activities, such as premium diversion and fee churning.

Premium diversion occurs when insurance agents secretly pocket premiums instead of declaring them to the agency. All’s good when nothing happens to the policyholder. But if an accident occurs, there will be no funds for reimbursement. So, the victim will not only be in an accident but will also have to pay out of their own pocket for any damages. Imagine paying monthly premiums to find out that you don’t even have an insurance policy! 

The key takeaway is:

Always vet your insurance agents before agreeing to anything or making any payments.

  1. Falsifying claims

Falsifying claims is the most common type of insurance fraud. In order to receive an early payout, dishonest policyholders take to creating false claims, such as slip and fall claims. In fact, some policyholders go to great lengths to make the whole scenario look believable.

  1. Disaster fraud

When a disaster strikes, all hell breaks loose, and insurance companies become extremely busy processing claims. For fraudsters, this is the perfect opportunity to falsify a payout, as policyholders can submit claims that will be approved and paid without further investigation. Take Hurricane Katrina, for instance, where an estimated $6 billion of government funding was said to have actually gone towards insurance fraud.

  1. Faking death

In the most extreme of extremes, some fraudsters become even more creative and fake their own death. As we all know, life insurance policies, in most cases, offer a substantial payout. Seeing the dollar signs invokes the green-eyed monster to come up with the ultimate scenario.

  1. Forgery and identity theft

This type of insurance fraud is more commonly seen with health insurance. It involves individuals using other people’s sensitive information to make false insurance claims for legitimate treatments. The remainder is pocketed as cash.

One common method is by stealing elderly citizens’ identities to purchase pricey medical equipment. The victim’s insurance pays for it. In turn, the scammers re-sell this equipment for a quick buck. Victims of this usually face increased premiums with no idea why.

Preventing insurance fraud for consumers

Unfortunately, there is no one victim of insurance fraud. From policyholders to insurance companies and even the government, fraudulent activities can affect everyone. Thus, it is also our collective responsibility to take insurance fraud seriously and take careful measures when it comes to tackling this problem.

To avoid becoming a victim of insurance fraud, first, you should stay informed so that you remain one step ahead of trouble at all times. Insurance has become a necessity for us. However, you have the ability to customize your insurance plans according to your needs. Avoid dishonest agents who might upsell complicated policies.

Second, know your policy. You will receive a set of documents, including a copy of your policy. Go through it, get to know it, and ask around if you have any questions or notice any discrepancies.

Third, know your insurance agents. Spend some time to research potential insurance agencies and get to know the agents who will be assigned to you. Agents are the ones who will be there should anything happen, and you want to find out how to go about filing your claim. At the very least, you want someone who is communicative and is there for you when you need them.

If we let insurance fraud continuously get out of hand, imagine just how high premiums might become in a few years’ time!

Understanding the World of Credit

0

Being an entrepreneur has many learning curves, from fun to financial. We are here to give you the lowdown on the tricky world of credit.

What is the World of Credit?

Your credit score is the number that credit bureaus give you. The higher the score the more eligible you are for credit or ‘creditworthy’. Credit companies look at your previous finances, what you have paid for and repayments you might have missed. This enables them to decide your score. If you have a high personal credit score you are more likely to be allowed to take out a loan or a credit card.  

You can also easily check your business’ credit score. This is important, if your business is a registered company, it will have independent finances. This means an independent credit score. Many credit companies, banks and loan companies have a lot of help out there to deal with business credit.

How Can it Affect You?

The world of credit can feel a little bit like a minefield, especially if you are just starting out in business. It is important to always separate your finances, personal and business, even if you are a sole trader. This makes submitting your taxes far easier and can highlight your taxable deductions. It also means that your personal credit score does not get affected if you take out business loans or have a business credit card.

If you take out a business loan, it does not affect your personal credit rating. There are many out there that offer a lot more money up-front and longer repayment schedules.

If you are a sole trader, it can be difficult to get a business loan. It is not impossible, but sole traders are often deemed as ‘high risk’. You can get personal loans, which are allowed to be used within your business. Some lenders don’t like this. They can legally ask for you to pay back the entire personal loan if they find you are using it for business purposes. You must be open and honest with the loan providers about how you intend to use the loan money. Some will be fine with you using it for your business, so shop around.

Getting short term loans from a UK direct lender can be an option if your business’ credit score is poor. These types of loans are only designed to be used in an emergency, when the expense is unavoidable and cannot wait. You would have to take them on personally rather than as a business, so it does entail a higher risk should you be unable to pay them back. You should always check the annual percentage rate (APR) before going ahead with any loan.

How Can Finances be Managed?

Managing your finances is the major step towards benefiting from the world of credit. There are many applications out now that can really help entrepreneurs build their credit score and observe their finances through detailed reports and helpful advice.

If you build your business credit score and are always careful to be certain you can pay back loans. The world of credit can be a positive place. With new helpful software coming available each day it is modernizing the credit world and making managing it much easier.

How Brands Use Business Intelligence to Grow

0

Digital solutions and data are among the most important resources that any business has. As legacy systems fall out of favor, and more businesses continue to embrace digital transformations, these businesses have more opportunities to leverage data to their advantage. In other words, advancements in business intelligence (BI) are making it easier than ever for companies to grow.

What is business intelligence? BI refers to all of the apps, tools, and practices that a business uses to improve its decision making and optimize performance. Businesses of all kinds and sizes need to be well informed when making alterations to the business processes, and for this to be a reality, they need the most accurate and current information possible. Business intelligence solutions gather this data, and they can produce summaries or even interactive visualizations to give business leaders and shareholders an “at a glance” understanding of what’s going on. Here are just some of the advantages of using BI platforms and how they can help your business grow.

Learn what really drives your revenue.

Every business has a target audience, but there are always ways to reach them more effectively. You may even be surprised to find out that a significant portion of your revenue comes from customers outside of your intended audience. Business intelligence lets you pin down exactly where your profits are coming from and let you figure out what issues need to be addressed to increase them further.

Create better marketing campaigns.

No business succeeds without effective marketing, and a marketing information system (MIS) can help you use your market research to the fullest. In fact, an MIS is often combined with a market information research system (MRIS) to automate the research process instead of having to wait for manual researchers. An MRIS pulls data from your business, public information about competitors, and data from government and financial reports, and it produces summaries of all relevant information.

Your MIS uses a combination of this market research and internal data as well as data from your specific industry and data from government databases to produce reports that are sent to your marketing team. This system keeps your marketing team informed constantly, so they can determine the best approach. Best of all, the data collected from these systems is yours to keep, and you can use trends you’ve uncovered to influence future decisions. Video marketing is also efficient in bringing more traffic to businesses. Using a video animation maker to create a video animation to market your brand can help grab people’s attention to check your brand products. 

Use more effective inventory tracking.

Customers expect convenience in all areas these days, and that includes getting their packages quickly. Part of proper BI is staying informed with inventory management software. This goes well beyond just knowing what you have in stock. Advanced inventory management can also inform you of what your suppliers have in stock and where shipments are located. This way, you can judge how long, on average, it takes your shipments to reach your customers and determine if the process needs to be sped up to ensure customer satisfaction.

Take advantage of easy data analytics.

Without a business intelligence platform, it’s likely that your researchers and tech team would have to create unique code for any data visualizations. With a BI platform, end-users can instantly create data visualization and get an easy understanding of what you’ve been researching. This type of interactive reporting allows for easy filtering of results during meetings with business leaders and shareholders, and data can even be compared to present KPIs to determine how efficient your processes actually are.

Utilize self-service data exploration.

You can also create custom reports about your business that aren’t derived from any single application or collection of applications. You have control over exactly where you collect your data from and how you receive the results. You can define layers of your report and use a graphical interface to build reports on demand. These custom reports can grant you even deeper insights into your business than the other options.

These are just some of the biggest advantages of using business intelligence platforms. Every business is unique, and you can likely find even more ways to derive insights and improve your processes.

Small Values To Trust Economic Growth

Stock returns in 2021 will not be a matter of size. In any case, large-cap stocks are not starting as big favorites to take advantage of the expected earnings for this year that opened in November the discovery of the coronavirus vaccine.

The force of the latest wave of the pandemic, the new restrictions on activity and the first problems in the distribution of the vaccine have not dampened the optimism with which investors face 2021 for the moment. The promise of immunity is stronger and, Given this hope of economic recovery, 2021 is going to be a prosperous year for small and medium-sized stocks.

Those known as midcaps are among the main investment bets of many managers. Its stock market trajectory in the final stretch of 2020, with the tailwind of the discovery of the vaccine, already heralds profitability in the baseline scenario of economic growth for the new year in the market. Small and midsize indices far outperformed large caps indices in both Europe and the US.

The Stoxx Europe Small saved the year with a rise of 3.2%, compared to the 5.14% decrease of the Euro Stoxx 50; Cac Small registered a rise of 7.21%, compared to the loss of 7.14% of Cac 40, and on the Spanish Stock Exchange small stocks won by a landslide: an 18.93% rebound of the Ibex Small Caps in contrast with the 15.45% decrease in the Ibex. In the US, the Russell 2000 even outperformed the 2020 rises of the Dow Jones and the S&P, posting a rise of 18.36%. And so far in 2021, it adds a stunning revaluation of 9%.

“We think that in 2021 the key will be cyclical, small and global, as the markets and sectors most affected by the confinements begin to reactivate,” they explain from UBS. The Swiss firm recalls that the profits of mid-cap companies are more linked to the economic recovery and foresee that such profits will grow in 2021 at a rate twice as high as those of large capitalization securities.

Under the umbrella of the vaccine, the fiscal stimulus that will come with Joe Biden’s tenure in the US may be the expected booster to revive consumer spending and business confidence. It will inject 1.5 trillion euros into the country’s economy.

The vaccine caused a stock market takeoff of these values ​​in the final stretch of 2020 that experts expect to continue this year

Barclays is another of the firms that is confident in the potential of small stocks in 2021 compared to large ones, especially on the US stock market. “In the United States, we expect small stocks to perform better on the stock market than large caps in the medium term thanks to their greater exposure to the economic cycle, the rebound in profits from lows and cheaper valuations in relative terms”, adds the British firm.

Last year was the undisputed triumph of Wall Street’s tech giants, but the universe of small and medium-sized stocks also contains attractive technology companies, such as the American Palantir, a software company specialized in big data and one of the midcap bettingby Gesconsult.

Although it is in the activities of a more cyclical nature where the potential of these small and medium values ​​pivots for 2021, as is the case of the Austrian construction and concessionaire Strabag, bet on Renta 4, or of the German chemical distribution company Brenntag, that the EDM manager stands out from its portfolio.

Small and medium-sized Spanish securities do not stand out among the range of options at the European level, where there are alternatives with greater capitalization within the category of midcaps and greater liquidity.

At Citi, they point out that the improvement in manufacturing is usually the prelude to an increase in profits in small companies during the following six months. “Recent data supports the expectation of higher earnings potential,” adds the firm. And after the rapid rises of the last two months, the firm is prepared to buy small stocks on the dips.
