There are many articles written about IT security threats. We often choose to believe it will not happen to our business, until something catastrophic does occur, and then it can be too late! ***The risk of losing confidential data should be a strong enough incentive,*** but understandably we often trust the systems that are in place, and we assume our data is protected.

The reason? There has been a huge investment in the production of shale gas in the US. This increased investment is partly due to new technologies, such as hydraulic fracking, that make the extraction of oil and gas from shale rock commercially viable. The new processes involving shale oil and gas excavation are driving plenty of business for many companies involved in the oil and gas industry. The [International Energy Agency](http://www.iea.org) estimates that the US will produce more than 11 billion barrels of oil and natural gas liquids per day in the second quarter of 2014.

What is it and how does it compare to*** invoice factoring? *** Similar to accounts receivable financing, a merchant cash advance is not a loan, rather a cash advance, as the title would suggest. Unlike invoice factoring, money is not advanced as a result of invoices issued to customers; it is money advanced on future credit card receipts. Sales are projected and have not yet taken place. While not a new concept, merchant cash advances have become a popular option for small business owners needing fast access to capital. The premiums for this service can be high – sometimes 30% or more on the money advanced – but there are plenty of businesses prepared to pay the price.

However, in this ‘war’ everyone wins, with the proceeds going to the [American Cancer Society](http://www.cancer.org). [***The Penny War***](http://www.ehow.com/how_5425129_hold-penny-war-fundraiser.html) is becoming an annual tradition at Bay View Funding! This friendly rivalry between office mates is all about raising money for charity. Last year close to $1000 was raised for the American Cancer Society. There are high hopes that the amount raised will increase this year, considering the level of office competition.
