June was a busy month for Western Solutions! In the midst of many of our school clients ending the school year, they also closed new financings; locking in historically low fixed interest rates. Speaking of interest rates, in the last few weeks, rates have increased slowing but significantly due to the feds comments on the outlook of the economy and the decreasing unemployment rate. Although rates are rising, they are still at historical lows. Any non-profits considering refinancing or future financing should take these slowly rising rates as a sign that it might be time to lock rates now.  Many experts predicted that rates would stay relatively low until 2015, however with the looks of things today, rates are increasing faster than expected. Time is still on your side, but waiting too long could be costly.

In June, Western Solutions was proud to sponsor TED x Livermore. It was not only a privilege to be a sponsor, but also to attend. The TED x Livermore conference was incredibly inspirational offering wonderful insight on new education initiatives and entrepreneurial pursuits. It was a great pleasure to be apart of the conference and we encourage everyone to attend TED x conferences which are located all around the world.

Here’s too a safe and happy summer!
