Luke Week 6
"Beginning the Journey to Jerusalem": Luke 9:51–12:59
By Mark Abbott

Read this week's Scripture: Luke 9:51–12:59
https://lectio.spu.edu/wp-content/files/2013/02/Beginning_the_Journey.mp3
Remember heading to the airport or taking road trips to visit family and friends, travel for business, or go on vacation? What if all we had was a horse, a donkey, or, more likely in Bible times, just our own two feet?
In Bible times, a journey was a big deal and an ordeal. In the first Lectio, we observed that Luke's gospel disproportionately focuses on Jesus' journey to Jerusalem — the journey takes up nine of 24 chapters. The "travel narrative" begins at Luke 9:51 and climaxes in 19:41 with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. At a clear break in the gospel narrative, we are told of Jesus, "He set his face to go to Jerusalem" (9:51). This dramatic statement signals a new direction in Luke's gospel. The next chapters depict Jesus teaching his followers as they journey to Jerusalem.
Some scholars think Luke combines two different journeys to Jerusalem, or two different narratives of the same journey, while interspersing stories and teachings along the way. Or maybe the "journey" is not so much geographical as it is a literary structure. In Acts, Luke also takes up disproportionate literary space with the Apostle Paul's journeys. In both documents, Luke may be echoing Deuteronomy, the great story of Israel's journey to the Promised Land.
A word for contemporary readers of Luke is that life centered on following Jesus is a journey. On this journey we discover more about what a relationship with Jesus and life in his kingdom involve. So, in our imagination, let's leave 21st-century transportation with planes and cars and put on sturdy, comfortable sandals as we begin this long walk with Jesus. Though each segment of this teaching journey deserves a lengthy pause, I can only touch on highlights, offering brief comments, though we will linger longer at Jesus' famous Good Samaritan parable.
Where does Jesus want us to journey with him not just 2,000 years ago, but today and tomorrow? Are we ready to be Jesus' followers, whatever it takes and wherever Jesus leads us?
Luke 9:52–62: Early Encounters
Two early stories give insight into how much those who journey with Jesus have to learn about how Jesus operates. Listen to hotheads James and John asking for Jesus' permission to call down fire from heaven on those who do not welcome their master. Putting down opposition was not what journeying with Jesus would be about. Furthermore, taking care of family obligations and bidding farewell to those at home, important concerns as they are, must be secondary to the call to follow Jesus.
Luke 10:1–24: The 70 Sent
In Luke 9, Jesus sends out the 12 (9:1–2). Now it's 70, or, as some manuscripts read, 72. There's a sense of urgency about their mission, for, says Jesus, "the harvest is bigger than you can imagine, but there are few workers" (10:2, CEB). Jesus' messengers are sent to Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, affording special opportunities to these key Galilean towns. This would also mean added responsibilities for them. Upon their return, Jesus and his messengers celebrate spiritual victories. "I watched Satan [the adversary] fall from heaven like a flash of lightning!" (10:18)
Luke 10:25–37: The Good Samaritan
Told only in Luke, this amazing story has become part of cultural folklore. But let's pause to take another look at it. The parable is part of two interchanges between Jesus and a lawyer. "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" asks the lawyer, beginning the first interchange. Pointing the lawyer back to something he knows well, Jesus asks, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?" (10:26). Maybe the lawyer has heard how Jesus identified the greatest commandment with love for God and love for neighbor. When the lawyer gives this answer, Jesus affirms its truth. "You have given the right answer; do this and you will live" (10:28).
The second interchange begins with the lawyer "wanting to justify himself" (10:29), or, as CEB renders it, wanting "to prove that he was right." He poses another question: "And who is my neighbor?" (10:29). The lawyer expects his neighbor to be a fellow Jew, presumably a keeper of the law. A Gentile obviously would not be a neighbor, especially a hated Samaritan. Instead of a clear-cut answer to the lawyer's query, Jesus tells a story. At the risk of overanalyzing this classic story, let me break apart what one author has called the story's "seven scenes." [Author's Note 1]
Scene 1 involves robbers, who accost a traveler on the lonely, desolate road from Jerusalem to Jericho. The robbers beat him, steal from him, strip his clothes, and leave him half dead. The first audience will assume that the victim is a Jew.
Scene 2 features a priest coming down that road. Presumably he has just completed his temple duties and now is returning home to Jericho. Priests have sufficient means to ride an animal instead of walking the 17 miles, so the priest could transport the victim on his animal if he so chooses. But the man by the road might be dead, risking ceremonial defilement for the priest. Stripped and unconscious, it would not be clear from these cultural markers (clothing and speech) if the victim is or is not a Jew, and thus whether or not the priest has obligations to help him. So the priest "passed by on the other side" (10:31).
Scene 3 zeros in on a Levite, maybe assistant to the priest who has just passed the victim. The priest has set a precedent, which the subservient Levite feels obliged to follow. A mere Levite would not want to upstage a priest — so he also "passed by on the other side."
Scene 4 takes us into the middle of the seven scenes, that is, into the crux of the story. Jesus' listeners would have expected after the priest and the Levite that a Jewish layperson would most likely appear next. But no; this is a Samaritan, one of those soundly hated by Jews. Listen for a gasp, even a hiss from Jesus' Jewish listeners! Early church fathers see Jesus in the figure of the Samaritan: He breaks in from the outside, has compassion on the victim, and takes care of his wounds. Could it be that we are the victim, the one wounded and half dead by the road?
Scene 5, in parallel to Scene 3 about the Levite, shows the Samaritan compensating for the Levite's failure to treat the victim's wounds.
Scene 6, in parallel to Scene 2 about the priest, shows the Samaritan compensating for the priest's failure. He transports the wounded man to the nearest town, where there would be an inn.
Scene 7, the final scene, in parallel to the first, has the Samaritan compensating for what the robbers did. He covers what is necessary for the wounded man to recover at the Jericho inn. Listeners would know that for a Samaritan to enter a Jewish town and engage in dealings with a Jewish innkeeper would be very dangerous for him. There are huge risk and cost in what the Samaritan does.
So, says Jesus to his lawyer, "Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" (10:36). The lawyer in a Jewish audience doesn't even want to name the Samaritan. So he refers to him as "the one who showed him mercy." "Go and do likewise," says Jesus (10:37). Whether or not we think we are a neighbor, we are to become a neighbor to the one who is in need. What a challenge for those who journey with Jesus!
Luke 10:38–42: Martha and Mary
Hospitality and active service are good. But there are times when sitting at Jesus' feet is "the better part" (Luke 10:42). Fred Craddock insightfully observes:
If we censure Martha too harshly, she may abandon serving altogether, and if we commend Mary too profusely, she may sit there forever. There is a time to go and do; there is a time to listen and reflect. Knowing which and when is a matter of spiritual discernment. [Author's Note 2]
Maybe Luke is also reflecting on the appropriate role of women in ministry from later-first-century church discussion. Sitting at Jesus' feet, Mary fills a stereotypical male role, crossing gender boundaries in that culture. As he also does in the Good Samaritan story, Jesus breaks traditional boundary molds. Jesus calls not just Jews but also Samaritans to serve him and each other. And Jesus calls into close association with him not just men, but also women, like Mary, who sit at his feet and hear what he has to say.
Luke 11:1–13: Modeling and Teaching Prayer
Watching Jesus at prayer stimulates desire within his followers to pray as he does. Jesus responds with a model prayer for people who follow Jesus. From this model prayer, which we call "The Lord's Prayer," Jesus moves to a parable. It depicts human persistence in prayer, and God's faithfulness to provide for our needs — a faithfulness that is greater even than the faithfulness of human parents.
Here's a man asleep with children around him in an ancient Middle Eastern house in which family members slept side by side on the floor. A friend's knock on the door tests ancient expectations of hospitality. Despite the inconvenience, this friend responds to the petitioner's persistence and gives him "whatever he needs." Verbs in Luke 11:9–10 ("ask," "search," "knock") are in a Greek tense that indicates ongoing action. Persistent praying is not twisting God's arm for what we want, but through perseverance expressing deep desire for our needs to be met.
Luke 11:14–28: Jesus and Demons
The big question in this segment is this: Who is in charge — demons, headed by the chief demon, Beelzebul; or Jesus, who brings the kingdom of God to human life? The answer is definitely the latter. Jesus makes clear to those who follow him that he is not just one power among many. Rather, Jesus exercises the power of God to defeat evil and liberate us from its bondage.
Luke 11:29–36: Jesus, Jonah, and Judgment
Harking back to a familiar story, Jesus calls increasing crowds of people to repent, or turn away from evil, as the inhabitants of Nineveh repented when Jonah preached to them. Not responding to "the Son of Man" (11:30) incurs the judgment that comes when we turn away from light. That light (11:33–36) exposes the darkness from which we are challenged to turn away. Journeying with Jesus leads to lives full of light rather than darkness.
Luke 11:37–12:12: Countering Critics
Frequently on his journey to Jerusalem, tension arises when Jesus encounters critics who are not "outsiders," but "insiders." Pharisees, lawyers, and scribes mentioned in this segment are religious people with whom Jesus has much in common. But they live out a religion that "has hardened principles given for life into regulations that suffocate and condemn." [Author's Note 3]
Jesus opposes such people and warns his followers against them (11:42; 12:1). These are the people who will bring Jesus' followers "before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities" (12:11). When they confront religious critics, disciples are to trust in God's care and not worry about how to defend themselves (12:6–7, 11–12). As we journey with Jesus, we may find some of our strongest critics are religious people who share the rules — but not the heart — of our faith.
Luke 12:13–34: Treasure and Heart
Jesus' teaching shifts from warnings about critics to warnings about possessions, which can possess us. Jesus' story about "the Rich Fool" is about "those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God" (12:21). Following Jesus and living in the kingdom is about bringing God's values and priorities into the center of lives, which can otherwise be full of greed (12:15) and anxiety (12:22–28). Instead of being possessed by our possessions and consumed with anxiety, we are to "strive for his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well" (12:31).
Luke 12:35–48: Be Ready, Be Faithful
Journeying with Jesus requires us to be like a master's servants who are "dressed for action and have [our] lamps lit" (12:35). Think of long, flowing robes of ancient times. Think of the hassle of lighting an oil lamp without present-day matches. Today we might say, "Keep your shoes on and leave the light on!" Why this appeal for alertness? The master is returning, and there's no text-messaging capability to let servants know when. "Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes" (12:37).
But here this brief parable has a surprising twist. The returning master, pleased with servants who are ready for his coming, readies himself and serves them. Unheard of in this class-conscious society! Kenneth Bailey, student of the Bible in its Middle Eastern setting, writes: "I know of no incident in contemporary life or in story out of the past in the Middle East where such an incredible reversal of status appears." [Author's Note 4] Yes, the "Servant-Lord," for whom his followers wait, is one who serves his servants! But the servants of this Servant-Lord must be ready and faithful.
We usually understand these word pictures in light of Jesus' promised return. "You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour" (12:40). At the same time, the urgent tone of looming crisis referred to in the next verses (12:49–53) may also reflect what Jesus knows is ahead for him in Jerusalem. Beyond that, wherever the journey with Jesus takes us, we are to be ready and faithful, enabling us to respond to the crises of our journey.
Luke 12:49–59: Crisis Ahead
The shadow of the cross hangs over Jesus as he journeys to Jerusalem. Jesus speaks of it in terms of fire and baptism. Baptism is a picture Jesus uses elsewhere to refer to his anticipated suffering (Mark 10:38). Signs of this coming crisis were as obvious to Jesus as weather indicators were to people of his day. If they could predict weather by observing its signs, why wouldn't Jesus' contemporaries recognize the crisis ahead? In light of what is ahead, Jesus urges people to make peace, pay their debts, and settle their accounts (12:57–59).
Ready for parables? Know what a parable is? In the next five chapters, which we will deal with in two Lectios, we will encounter at least 14 parables, many unique to Luke.
Where are you in your journey with Jesus? In what ways is Jesus calling you to follow him?
Which of the vignettes and teachings in this Lectio speak most strongly to you? How do you find them applying to your life journey?
Can you remember feeling like the man by the Jericho Road, mugged and half dead? How did people respond to your plight? To what person(s) in distress might Jesus be calling you to become a neighbor?
How do the themes of readiness and faithfulness resonate with your experience of journeying with Jesus?

Turbo Town and Knockout! campaign begins in Verkami • Console and Dashboard
Joint financing search campaigns are becoming more and more frequent. Eclipse Editorial and Omen Games turn to Verkami to give life to Turbo Town already Knock out! They need 2,900 euros to get to the tables.
THIS IS TURBO TOWN AND NOCAUT!
Fruit of the collaboration between Eclipse Editorial and Omen Games, this campaign will serve to give life to Turbo Town already a second edition of Knock out! Both will be a reality in June 2022 if they reach the goal set. They come in a small box.
Speed in Turbo Town
Turbo Town He proposes us to be the fastest mechanic in the whole area. The action transports us to a city known for its illegal races. Its inhabitants are impertinent drivers, who want their vehicle to be fixed as soon as possible. The victory will be for whoever chooses the best customers and repairs the vehicles before the rivals.
We will have a special ability to take advantage of to facilitate the task. This combination of cards and dice proposes us to assign results to the vehicles to be repaired, arranged in the center of the table.
The competition will be enjoyed between 2 and 6 players, from 8 years old, with a duration of 30 minutes. It can be purchased for 15 euros during the campaign, in a reward that consists of the game, the unlocked extras and the shipping costs to Spain.
Knockout !, the power of combos
Talking about Knock out!, we are facing a card game of 1 to 6 participants, indicated from 8 years. In 30-minute matches, we will do everything possible to be the king of the ring, with the combos as allies.
We will have four classes of fighters, with their own abilities, as well as equipment and events. The pros are adept at punches, while the acrobats create visual spectacles with their pirouettes. Nobody wins by crushing the heavy hitters. Finally, the strays resort to treacherous attacks by throwing objects.
In this way, we can take advantage of the furniture or equip the fighter. There are three different modalities, with their objectives: to reduce the life of the opponents to zero or to reach a certain number of points. Its price during the campaign is 15 euros, including unlocked extras and shipping costs to Spain.
Patrons will get unique aspects for the characters of the two games. The joint price of both boxes is 29 euros, including the unlocked extras and expenses to Spain. They are signed by Daniel Gálvez, with Dave Navarro in charge of the illustrations.

Petraeus Pushes NATO Allies to Step Up Afghan Fight
By James G. Neuger and Tony Czuczka
Bloomberg News 9 February 2009
In-depth Report: AFGHANISTAN
Petraeus ticked off a list of needs for Afghanistan including more special operations forces, transport and attack helicopters, fixed-wing warplanes, medical evacuation units, military police, engineering units and trainers for the Afghan army and police. -"It's going to be much tougher than Iraq," Richard Holbrooke, who heads to the region tomorrow as Obama's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan [said].
The U.S. pushed European NATO allies to send more troops to Afghanistan. …
U.S. Army General David Petraeus said the security situation has "deteriorated markedly" since 2007 and appealed for more troops and war-fighting equipment to bolster stability as nationwide elections test Afghanistan's ability to govern itself.
"I would be remiss if I did not ask individual countries to examine very closely what forces and other contributions they can provide," Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East and Central Asia, told the Munich Security Conference today.
President Barack Obama will send as many as 30,000 additional troops, putting European governments under pressure to step up their commitment as the war …drags into its eighth year.
Vice President Joe Biden yesterday promised a "new tone" in U.S. engagement with European allies, while making clear that the U.S. now has higher expectations.
"America will do more: that's the good news," Biden said in a keynote speech in Munich. "The bad news is America will ask for more from our partners as well."
Troop Numbers
North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies have fielded 55,000 troops in Afghanistan, led by a 23,000-strong U.S. contingent. Another force of roughly 10,000 U.S. troops conducts counterterrorism missions independently of NATO command.
Britain, the largest European contributor, has sent 8,900. Germany has kept its 3,400 troops, the third-largest force, out of the hotly fought south and east of the country.
U.K. Defence Secretary John Hutton, during a panel discussion with Petraeus, said there's an urgent need for "stronger force levels" in Afghanistan. "We need to do more on every level to support the leadership that the United States is showing," he said.
Afghanistan postponed this year's presidential election from May 22 to Aug. 20 due to security concerns and the inability to set up polling stations in as many as nine provinces that will be snow covered until late spring.
The delay raises questions about whether President Hamid Karzai, who has enjoyed the support of the U.S. and NATO, will stay in power on an interim basis after his constitutional five-year term ends in May. …. American criticism of some European governments erupted last year when Defense Secretary Robert Gates — a Bush administration appointee who Obama kept on — warned that NATO risked degenerating into a "two-tiered alliance" of countries that fight and those that don't.
France last year sent a battalion to eastern Afghanistan, belatedly joining the U.S., U.K., Canada, Denmark and the Netherlands as one of the principle contributors of frontline troops. …. Petraeus ticked off a list of needs for Afghanistan including more special operations forces, transport and attack helicopters, fixed-wing warplanes, medical evacuation units, military police, engineering units and trainers for the Afghan army and police. ….. "It's going to be much tougher than Iraq," Richard Holbrooke, who heads to the region tomorrow as Obama's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, told the panel.
Insurgent Activity
Insurgent activity in Afghanistan rose last year to the highest level since 2001, partly coming from across the border in Pakistan. Insurgents are using Pakistan's mountainous tribal areas as a staging base, operating from the same territory as the U.S.-armed rebels who fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
During last year's presidential campaign, Obama said the U.S. would attack terrorist camps in the tribal areas without consulting the Pakistani government if it had actionable intelligence. "I will push Pakistan very hard," Obama said in July.
That threat didn't come up in today's panel discussion.
Pakistan "takes seriously its responsibility along the western border," Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said. "Our sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected."

5 Faces of Love
Celebrate Valentine's Day with 5 Movies About Love
Love can be expressed in many ways – with a hug, a kiss or, for the more unconventional, a bouquet of fried chicken. This Valentine's Day, we're highlighting five movies that emphasize the many faces of love including family, discovery, sacrifice, remembering and persevering.
1. FAMILY
"Crazy Rich Asians"
Director: Jon M. Chu
Love looks like…family, no matter how crazy they are.

Nico Santos as Oliver T'sien and Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor Young in "Crazy Rich Asians."
Based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, the movie dives into the intricacies of introducing one's partner to immediate family members and relatives, no matter how rich or crazy they are, while taking in the food, culture, sights and sounds of Singapore.

Co-starring the hilarious Awkwafina and the unforgettable Michelle Yeoh, this is a must-watch feel-good movie with important family values that may even help in crossing cultural barriers.

How To Do Effortless Chic, The R29 Way
Leeann Duggan
Photographed by Jens Ingvarsson.
Every day, R29's headquarters in downtown Manhattan plays host to 120 employees, plus a cadre of colleagues, clients, special guests, stylists, photographers — maybe even a famous cat or two. In an office buzzing with this much activity, one woman stands as an oasis of calm amidst the photo shoots and frenzy: our managing editor, Jessica Teves.
Tasked with overseeing our day-to-day operations, Jess' job is no small feat. But somehow, she keeps everything running smoothly with preternatural grace, calm, and style that's the envy of the office. Living by "less is more," Jess pairs luxe separates with standout accessories, for a look that defines effortless chic.
We sat down with Jess to get the scoop on how she achieves her brand of pared-down polish — and took a peek inside her Chloé Baylee bag at the stylish essentials that help maintain her Zen. Read on to meet Refinery29's rock.
What's an average work day like for you?
"I'm the managing editor at Refinery29, which means I oversee all the day-to-day operations of the editorial department."
That's no small task!
"It's a big responsibility but so very rewarding, too. My favorite part of the job has to be the raw excitement of covering new trends and inspiring people all over the world to embrace and own their personal style. It's all day, every day, but it's exhilarating and exciting at the same time, so you can't help but just float through it all."
How would you describe your personal style in three words or less?
"Less is more. I tend to favor well-constructed basics in very classic silhouettes, placing more emphasis on the accessories — they allow me to add personality to each look. For basics, I love neutral colors like white, and for fall, nothing is better than a classic, camel cashmere sweater — nothing!"
Walk us through your accessories look — what are your personal go-tos?
"I'm crazy-obsessed with chunky gold jewelry — the more I can stack up and down my arms, the better. And a great bag is so key. I love my Baylee because it's structured and classic, but large enough to hold all the essentials I need to carry me through some very long days. Plus, the duo-tone color scheme allows me to pair it with just about any outfit — totally swoon-worthy."
Do you have any major fashion don'ts?
"At my first Fashion Week, I wore these gorgeous, but ridiculously high, torture-chamber heels that absolutely destroyed my feet. By the end of the day, I was actually hobbling. So, lesson learned: I now throw flats or my Nike Frees in my bag, so I can safely power around town without losing all feeling in my feet."
So, besides those sole-sparing flats, what do you keep in your Baylee bag to get you through your busiest day?
"Nude lipgloss is my thing — I wear it every day, all day! My favorite is Buxom Lip Polish in White Russian. And my Mason Pearson brush is so compact, it goes with me everywhere. My big busy-day secret, though, is Mario Badescu Facial Spray. Just a few spritzes throughout the day keep my face dewy and refreshed."
What do you read, watch, or do to keep up with the world, and to stay inspired?
"I don't watch much TV — no time! But I do read every website imaginable, scour all the monthly mags, and voraciously devour R29! For me, though, the best inspiration often comes from traveling and experiencing people, their culture, food, and lifestyle in a different way. Stepping outside of your day-to-day routine is one of the very best ways to stay inspired."
What advice would you give to someone looking to get into the fashion industry?
"In a word: focus. Figure out what you like to do and focus on that one aspect. Do you like to write? Do you want to work on the retail side? Also, try to take on a few internships to fully understand the nuances of this complex industry and fully discover your strengths."

David Simon: 'There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show'
Posted on Wednesday, Apr 29, 2015 11:09AM Friday, December 8, 2017 by S. Abbas Raza
David Simon in The Guardian:
America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it. About 20 blocks away is another America entirely. It's astonishing how little we have to do with each other, and yet we are living in such proximity.
There's no barbed wire around West Baltimore or around East Baltimore, around Pimlico, the areas in my city that have been utterly divorced from the American experience that I know. But there might as well be. We've somehow managed to march on to two separate futures and I think you're seeing this more and more in the west. I don't think it's unique to America.
I think we've perfected a lot of the tragedy and we're getting there faster than a lot of other places that may be a little more reasoned, but my dangerous idea kind of involves this fellow who got left by the wayside in the 20th century and seemed to be almost the butt end of the joke of the 20th century; a fellow named Karl Marx.

Can Asset Based Lending provide an alternative to high street banks?
ABL lenders look at things in a slightly different perspective. Whilst it is important that they buy into the business and are comfortable with its trading performance they are mainly concerned with the available level of security. An invoice discounting facility will provide funding of circa 85% of the unpaid debtors. They will also consider providing additional working capital secured against plant and machinery. They will lend anything up to 80% of its value depending on the circumstances around the deal. A true revolving stocking facility may also be appropriate and potentially commercial mortgage funding is also available. In addition an ABL lender is not necessarily after the clearing banking and as such you will be able to leave your clearing with your existing high street. This potentially makes for an easy transition to potentially more flexible and supportive funding arrangements.
Posted in Cash flow finance, invoice discounting | Comments Off on Can Asset Based Lending provide an alternative to high street banks?
We are still living in tough times financially throughout the UK with the emphasis falling on the small business. Finance can be hard to come by for the small business owner.
Often a small business must undertake a large capital equipment investment in order to grow. The balance sheet of the business is often not strong enough to justify a Hire Purchase or Finance Lease facility.
Without capital investment the business can not grow and become more profitable. A chicken and egg scenario.
Small Business Finance is an area in which XL Business Finance has a great deal of expertise. As an independent finance broker we understand the problems of small business finance, arranging equipment leasing and machinery finance for example.
At XL Business Finance we can provide small business finance for investments from as little as £1000. This could be useful for providing tax efficient leasing for office furniture, computer equipment and telephone systems for instance.
Do not think of us as a company who provides you with a one off service to get you up and running then disappears into the night. We work along side many clients for many years providing finance solutions such as factoring, debt factoring or factoring invoice discounting facility.
As an independent factoring broker XL Business Finance can provide you with the best Business finance to meet your specific requirements.
It makes sense to use a reputable and well established factoring broker. They will undoubtedly find you the best option which will be invaluable when it comes to choosing the right factoring and invoice discounting company for your business.
Unlike asset finance specialists where commission is added into the deal, the factoring broker is paid by the factoring or invoice discounting company from the income they would normally charge.
There are some important factors that need to be taken into account when choosing the right finance company. The biggest factor is to identify whether your business requires factoring or invoice discounting. Not all funders are equally specialised in factoring and invoice discounting. In fact some may just concentrate on one aspect of funding. The size and length your business has been trading needs also to be taken into consideration. High street banks are not always the most appropriate funder.
XL Business finance is one of the North of England's premier independent finance companies with established links to many of the UK's leading finance houses. Call us today, we are happy to discuss your specific situation.
Posted in Business finance, Factoring, Factoring broker, invoice discounting, invoice factoring | Comments Off on What is a factoring broker?
Invoice discounting can provide cash against up to 85 % of unpaid invoices however there are so many invoice discounting comapnioes to chooose from. How do you know whidch uis the right provider for your business.
We all know there are the high street banks providing invoice discounting facilities. There are providers that are owned by lessor known banks foreign banks which tend to havce their own atonomy. And then there are the independents that are not owned by the banks but are privately owned. Which funder is best for you depends upon your own particulkar circumstances and a good invoice discounting broker will certainly be able to add value in the process.
We are still seeing so many businesses struggling for cash flow with inadequate working capital facilities and replacing their bank overdrafts with invoice finance. Bank overdrafts are not designed to grow as a business expands and believe it or not there are many businesses out there that seemed to have turned the corner. This seems very much to be the case in the manufacturing and engineering sector which seems to be very very buoyant at the moment. Invoice finance by either factoring or invoice discounting can release cash against 85% of a businesses unpaid invoices. In many instances this can create cash far in excess of any bank overdraft facility is capable of doing.
Comparing invoice discounting quotes for the first time can be quite complicated. There are so many different aspects of a deal, from interest rates, refactoring charges and service fees. The cheapest is not always best because credit limits for individual clients and prepayment percentages must also be taken into consideration. There is no point going with the cheapest deal if you are only going to get 50% of your expected funding. XL Business Finance has been helping businesses for over 10 years compare quotes and help the customer get into the nitty gritty of things.
There are two main charges to an invoice discounting facility. The interest rate for the money borrowed and the service fee. The interest rate is usually a percentage over base rate and is comparable to a bank overdraft rate. Some finance companies charge a min base rate and some link to LIBOR. Bank base rate is not always the same so it is always worth taking into consideration.
The service fee is a percentage of annual turnover however beware some invoice discounting companies charge a refactoring charge. This can be as much as 1% of any invoices that go over 90 days. Whilst this will not be a problem if your debt turn is good it is worth noting because if your customers take longer to pay it will increase the cost of the facility.
An invoice discounting will also charge a take on fee which can be anything from a few hundred quid to a percentage of the arranged facility.
As an credible independent invoice finance broker we were recently approached by a business having trouble obtaining funding from their high street bank. The business mainly exported goods to Europe and Africa had access to a £3.0m invoice discounting facility. As most of the African debt could be credit insured it had always been possible to obtain funding against these outstanding invoices. That was until the bank had a change of policy.
At a review meting the bank announced that they would no longer be able to finance the African invoices. A change of policy apparently. The customer during 15 years of trading had never had a bad debt into Africa and in any case most of the debtors could be credit insured. This obviously had a dramatic affect on the businesses cash flow and as such the £250k in case of need overdraft facility quickly reached its limit.
In our opinion a switch from one high street bank to another would certainly be out of the frying pan and into the fire. We therefore introduced our customer to a couple of lessor known invoice discounting ccompanies that specialise in bigger deals. They kind of start off where the high street banks start getting uncomfortable. They tend to be owned by foreign banks however unlike invoice discounting companies attached to high street banks they have their own autonomy. In addition because they are foreign owned they tend to be able to deal with world wide markets.
Are there alternatives to banks for large invoice discounting lines?
In our opinion yes. The problem with banks is that they blow hot and cold. They might do some fantastic invoice discounting deals in the good times however as soon as it starts raining they more often than not want their umbrellas back. A customer requiring a large facility of say two or three million may find themselves with restricted credit if their is any change in their performance.
We have seen this recently with very strong businesses that have seen profits drop but for positive reasons such as investment in new equipment and premises. The fact is the banks don't always like to see a drop in performance irrespective of the reasons. Comined with restructuring and merging with the high street big banks you will find a very erratic approach to their lending criteria and possible clipping of facilities.
The good news is that there are alternatives to the high street banks. During the good old days, the recession and now the slow recovery these alternatives have always taken a consistent approach to their lending criteria. These are specialist invoice discounting companies , whilst funded by big lessor known merchant banks have their own autonomy and there is enough variety to cove most situations. A £3.0m facility is a drop in the ocean for a couple of these funders. At £3.0m plus even some of the high street banks might start getting a bit jittery. It appears that the banks want to collect as much money in at the moment rather than lend it out.

Ayodeji Sotona (born 7 December 2002) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Burnley Academy.

Club career
Sotona was born in Waterford, but moved to Mullingar as a child, where he joined local side Mullingar Athletic. At a young age, he joined the Mullingar Harriers Athletic Club, picking up several provincial and national sprinting medals, including an All-Ireland bronze medal in 2013.

At the age of 13, he began attracting attention from English sides Manchester City and Manchester United, eventually signing with the latter. While at Manchester United, Sotona was named as the club's fastest player, ahead of first team members Diogo Dalot, Marcus Rashford and Daniel James. After four years with the club, in which he trained with the first team, he rejected the offer of a three-year extension to his contract, and left the club as a free agent in September 2020.

After a phone call with Patrick Vieira, who was managing Nice at the time, Sotona decided to join the French side at the expiration of his contract with Manchester United. Vieira had promised first-team football, but after he was sacked in December 2020, new manager Adrian Ursea assigned Sotona to the reserves. With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the footballing schedule, he struggled for game time, and when a return to England with Brentford presented itself in January 2022, Sotona took the opportunity, and joined on a six-month loan deal.

On 9 August 2022, Sotona signed for Scottish club Kilmarnock on a season-long loan. He returned to Nice in January 2023.

On 30 January 2023, Sotona moved to Burnley Academy.

International career
Sotona is eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland, Nigeria and England at international level. He has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-15 and under-16 level.

So I found the coolest graphic tee at Target the other day. It's an ornate yin yang symbol and it's so lovely.
Because it's too hot to wear jeans, I paired it with a skirt, and belted it, and added a lightweight faux leather jacket.

The assumption that someone somewhere has 'the' mystical potion of ultimate fashion etiquette that can transcend lossless through the ages can be a truth after all. 'How?' one may ask 'should one dress one's age?' and maintain to look stylish in every phase of life.
To envision dressing for fashion, just like aging, is a progressive learning process. Every age should be celebrated for its unique times and the wardrobe transformations and improvisations that come about should be cherished from time to time.
It's not just about what you choose to wear but also about having the maturity to choose it well. Hence the potion everyone is after is nothing but the 'maturity' which is a derivative of times and experiences that are gradually assimilated and eventually translated into one's personal style. As long as one's maturity translates into a rich identity (begone crises), one should be confident to carry any style.
It then becomes inappropriately appropriate to forget all the scenarios where dressing your age were once character assassination ploys, with unwelcomed yet unavoidable self-proclaimed judgemental authorities on either side of the pivot. One side the younger and other the older, both pushing you off their boundaries, leaving one feel like an outlander.
"Why don't you dress your age?" or "Does that look age-appropriate for me?" are the frequenters at the transitional verge of '-teens' to '-ties' and further every 10 years or so (I guess, for I am still not a living proof of an exact figure). Your's truly proposes to maintain that the final 'appropriateness' is what YOU decide and never what they decide, provided you have overcome 'identity crisis' and carved a personal style you are truly comfortable in and enjoy. It is not always what others expect of you. If one can carry a look a bit farther down the time lane than otherwise expected of oneself, it is but fair to go for it with all the confidence.
For now I am enjoying all the 'sheer' and 'florals' clothing, all fitted to my parameters of appropriateness.
If you may, see Other variation of this same outfit in my previous post here!
Time to put"dress-your-age" drama to peace.

Home Q & A Female viagra gets US approval but with strong health warning
Female viagra gets US approval but with strong health warning
The first drug to treat low sexual desire in women – dubbed 'female viagra' – has been approved by US health regulators.
But the libido-boosting medication comes with a strong warning about potentially dangerous low blood pressure and fainting side effects, especially when taken with alcohol.
The little pink pill will be sold under the brand name Addyi and made by privately held Sprout Pharmaceuticals.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the drug will only be available through certified and specially trained health care professionals and pharmacies due to its safety issues.
Addyi, whose chemical name is flibanserin, is designed for premenopausal women whose lack of sexual desire causes distress.
The condition is formally known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or HSDD.
Drug: The pill is designed for premenopausal women whose lack of sexual desire causes distress
In a statement, the National Consumers League said: "This is the biggest breakthrough in women's sexual health since the advent of 'the Pill' for contraception.
"It validates (and) legitimises female sexuality as an important component of health."
But Public Citizen, a consumer watchdog group that testified against the drug earlier this year, predicted that Addyi will be pulled from the market within a few years because of "serious dangers to women, with little benefit" to them.
Sprout's drug has been nicknamed the "female Viagra" in media reports, even though it does not work like Pfizer Inc's blockbuster Viagra pill for men that in 1998 became the first approved drug for erectile dysfunction.
The FDA had twice rejected the drug. But the latest decision comes after an advisory panel concluded in June it should be approved with strict measures in place to ensure patients are fully aware of the risks.
The news sent shares of Palatin Technologies, which is creating a rival drug for HSDD, up about 30 percent to $ 1.21 in extended trade.
Palatin's experimental treatment called bremelanotide is now in late-stage trials and works differently from Addyi. It attempts to activate certain brain pathways.
Palatin in a statement late Tuesday said its drug, if approved, would only be taken as needed, not on a daily basis like Addyi, thereby providing women "greater control and flexibility in their treatment."
Libido boost: The drug affects the brain, rather than flow of blood
Addyi needs to be taken every day. Unlike Viagra, which affects blood flow to the genitals, the new drug works on the brain.
It is similar to a class of other drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRI's, that include antidepressants such as Prozac.
Women who took Addyi in a clinical study had an increase of about one sexually satisfying event (SSE) per month compared with those taking a placebo.
Advocates claim that increase is meaningful. Critics say the small benefit is outweighed by the drug's risks.
Addyi will come with a prominent "boxed warning" about side effects, including among people with liver impairment or who take Addyi with alcohol or with medicines known as CYP3A4 inhibitors that include certain steroids.
Originally developed by Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim under its chemical name flibanserin, it was first rejected by the FDA in 2010 after an advisory panel said the benefits did not outweigh the risks.
Sprout acquired the drug, conducted additional studies and resubmitted the application. In 2013, the FDA rejected it again.
The rejection sparked a lobbying campaign by Sprout, aided by some women's groups who accused the FDA of gender bias because it had approved Viagra for men – a charge the FDA vigorously rejected.

Beaver-Falcon scholarship
Bluffton's seventh recipient of the Beaver-Falcon MAcc Scholarship
Bluffton senior earns full graduate scholarship to BGSU
Jordan Stutzman, a senior from Millersburg, Ohio, is Bluffton University's seventh recipient of a full scholarship to Bowling Green State University's Master of Accountancy program.
Stutzman has earned the Beaver-Falcon MAcc Scholarship, a Bluffton-Bowling Green partnership that includes a full-tuition award plus a paid graduate assistantship for a Bluffton accounting graduate.
"The scholarship was one of the things that drew me to Bluffton in the first place," said Stutzman. "I'm so grateful. Coming here hoping to be able to receive the scholarship four years ago, hoping that I would be in this spot and actually being here is unbelievable. It's such a huge blessing."
A 2015 graduate of West Holmes High School, Stutzman is majoring in both accounting and business administration. He is a member of the baseball team where he has earned Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) All-Academic honors two years in a row. He has also been involved in the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Financial Investment Club on campus.
Stutzman's desire to pursue accounting comes, in part, from his late mother. "She was in accounting, and now both my brother and I are in accounting. She influenced us a lot, and on top of that we both like numbers. So, we've taken very similar paths."
Beginning in fall 2019, Stutzman plans to pursue the accounting track of study at Bowling Green. Completion of the master's program will give him the 150 hours of study required to sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam.
"Jordan embodies excellence in and out of the classroom. It is amazing that, even with the demands of being a student-athlete at the collegiate level, he is able to be involved in clubs and campus activities," said Dr. Jason Swartzlander, professor of accounting. "He has worked extremely hard to earn this prestigious scholarship, and we're proud of him and know that he will have a very successful accounting career."
- Cara Echols '19, student news writer
Bluffton has a strong accounting internship program to prepare students for life after Bluffton.
