Hub You - Loans: Take Control Over Your Money – Start Your Own Credit Union
What I hate most about most special reports and tips available online these days is that they contain so much BS (excuse my having to use this example from the cow to get my point across, but there is so much of it flying around the web these days that the smell gets nauseating every time you log onto the Internet.)In the amazing special report that helped me figure out a solution for my dropping Adsense revenue, the man says he makes an average of $50,000 on the net every month using his non-Adsense ways to monetize his sites.

If you have been researching work at home job opportunities than no doubt you have come across drop-shipping. You have probably seen a hundred ads trying to sell you an E-book that will tell you all the secrets to eBay or been tempted by a "free" instant auction success kit of some kind, right?

Run by a volunteer board of directors which are elected by its members, a Credit Union is basically a financial cooperative, owned and controlled by its members.
They offer affordable loans and encourage members to save. By law, the maximum a Credit Union can charge is 12.7% and this is charged on an ever reducing balance, which means that every week or month, you will pay less and less interest. There are no hidden charges and you will not be penalised for repaying the loan early.
Anyone can join a credit union, as long as they are part of the 'common bond'. This could be people living in a shared area, working for the same employer or belonging to the same association.
So how do you start your own credit union?
The average time it takes to establish a credit union is between one and three years. The minimum number of members required for the initial set up is 21 and the maximum number of members once you are established is limited to just 5,000 people.
After you have secured enough members to start your union, there are a number of tasks which will need to be completed.
• Firstly, decide on a common bond - where your credit union will operate
• Get a group together with the necessary range of skills and experience to develop a successful community business
• Carry out a pledge drive - find out just what demand there is for a credit union in the area you wish to service and use the information obtained to inform your business plan projections
• Join The Association of British Credit Unions (ABCUL) as a Study Group member - for just ?35 a year, you get a full manual and access to all of ABCUL's information services

Most of the current Yellow Page directories are printed on white paper. Yellow ink is printed over it to merely give the appearance of yellow paper.

Credit unions in the UK are also required to reach a statutory minimum reserve of 10 per cent of aggregate assets to protect their members. Until they reach this level, credit unions should transfer at least 20 per cent of their surplus into reserves each year.
Covering you and your members
In the UK a credit union has to take out insurance to protect its members' funds from fraud and mismanagement. However, there is no industry-wide compensation scheme to protect members' savings should a credit union become bankrupt.
Before you set up your credit union from scratch, consider investigating if credit unions in neighbouring areas would be willing to expand their common bond to your locality or place of employment.
Many credit unions are expanding their common bonds to cover much larger populations, and your area may already be included in someone else’s plans. ABCUL can advise you on initiatives happening where you are, and put you in touch with the right people.
To the wider community, a Credit Union improves the general financial knowledge of its member and offers training to its volunteers investing in local money.
It helps restore a sense of pride in disadvantaged and disaffected communities and provides a means of targeting financial exclusion.
