High Tech Environment – A Consultant’s Dream

I recently had the opportunity to assist a great new company that has an amazing concept for helping Consultants to grow and develop their practices.

The consulting industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Consulting firms need to grow their practices, improve the personal productivity of their key resources, and reduce your operating expenses.


Access Business Centers helps consulting firms be more successful by reducing their commitment of resources to real estate, staffing, and technology.

Access provides consulting firms with a fantastic environment for developing and growing their practices. Many executive suite operators provide some of the services provided by Access but few can provide the level of customized support that is available at this new innovative facility in the heart of North Dallas.

The Access Technology Deployment Plan (ATDP) focuses on consultants’ needs and wants and their ability to derive benefit from the availability of current and relevant technologies.

The investment in technology that has been made demonstrates to all a commitment in providing consultants with the utmost in quality. This technological focus will enable consulting firms to obtain enhanced services that many other executive suites and conference centers do not provide.

“Smarter Working Space” is not just a slogan at Access… It is a way of thinking and working. The technology offering is practical, realistic, and useful in a time when technology must be provided in a way that clients can easily understand and utilize.

ABC has conducted detailed significant research and competitive studies of consulting firms to customize solutions to consulting firms operations. ABC provides technology, i.e., Virtual Office Environments, Collaborative Workplace Environments, Conference Centers, Video Conferencing, telephone technologies, network environments, information processing, software support, etc. that exceeds the capabilities of most if not all of its competitors.

The availability of trained Team Members who understand how to utilize technology and benefit from its availability is an important aspect of the Access Solutions Center.

The collaboration center capabilities available through media:scape and Steelcase Corporation are excellent examples of how Access has considered consulting firm needs for innovative ways of doing business.

For more information about this great facility, call 214-866-0333 and ask for Laura Wakefield.

Words of Wisdom About Getting Home Loans

Applying for A Real Estate Loan is Hard Work!

Read what a professional lender and great guy has to say about the process of getting a home loan in today's lending environment.

"It may seem in today’s world that applying for a mortgage loan requires giving up your first born; however, there are some steps that a prospective homebuyer can take that can help in the application process.
Credit scores and credit history is relied upon very heavily by lenders when analyzing a credit application.  The higher the credit score is, the benefits for the borrower are greatly increased including better interest rates and lesser restrictive qualifying guidelines. 

One teps that a borrower can take prior to applying for a loan is to avoid applying for additional credit such as credit cards.  Each time additional credit is applied for, even if the credit is not accepted or wanted by the borrower, an inquiry will be reflected on the credit report.  A lender looks at these inquiries as potential additional debt and could require additional explanations by borrower.   In addition, do not apply for a mortgage loan with several lenders. 

Do your homework first, getting cost estimates from different lenders to compare rates and cost.  Choosing a lender based on the lowest rates is not always the best choice.  Rely on your realtor to give feedback on viable lender options.  Remember, choosing a lender that is reliable, ethical and knowledgeable goes a long way in making the application process smoother and less stressful.

The amount of debt that a borrower has is an important factor in qualifying.   Exceeding certain debt to income guidelines could prevent a borrower from being able to qualify for the home of their dreams.  Avoid taking on additional debt if possible.
Be ready to provide the lender, prior to application, the following items.  This will help expedite the preapproval process and not to mention, make life a little easier by having this information organized and ready to provide.
  • Paystubs for the most recent 30 day period
  • w-2’s for the most recent two year period
  • tax returns, personal and corporate (if applicable) for the most recent 2 year period
  • bank statements, investment account statements for the most recent 60 day period
  • retirement statements for the most recent period
  • Copy of drivers license
By providing this information upon application, a lender will be able to give a borrower valuable feedback immediately on whether they qualify and/or what amount of loan that could be qualified for."

International Buisness - Access Business Centers

Dallas Attracts International Conference Center/Executive Suite Enterprise

Affiliate of Mexico Based Grupo Lomelin Kicks Off US Expansion

March 12, 2012, Dallas, TX – Access Business Centers, an international firm in the Executive Suite & Conference Center Industry announces that it has opened a facility at Spectrum Center in Dallas (Addison 75001).

Founded by Grupo Lomelin, Access incorporates new approaches to the industry and includes a custom 4,000 sq ft Collaboration & Conference Center featuring high-tech media:scape, a collaborative, upscale furniture solution with technology integration offered by Steelcase, the global leader in office furniture.

Polycom, the Global Leader in Telepresence, Video and Voice Conferencing Solutions, provides the Video-Conferencing Equipment. SMtelcom installed and will maintain the systems and networks. Interprise Design and Miller Office Interiors collaborated in the design of the facility.

The center was constructed by MAPP Construction, a commercial contractor specializing in high-end corporate projects throughout the Southern United States. Grupo Lomelin’s Hector Soto provided technical consulting for the facility. The location utilizes a Cisco System backbone network, and a ShoreTel VoIP telephone system to provide services.

Few shared office operators can provide the array of exclusive services and capabilities that Access provides. Typical Executive Suites allow for a professionally structured private office environment with some support services.

Because of the enhanced services available, offices at Access are different in that they free up much-needed cash flow for large or start-up companies’ more necessary expenses and business activities. They are truly, “smarter working spaces!” A unique design incorporates a four-work-modes concept. This allows for a highly productive atmosphere.



Access provides modern office rental space, studios and executive services as an international landing pad and point-of-entry for companies wanting to open businesses in the United States.




The company provides:



· Private Offices – Team Rooms - & Part-time Flexible Office Programs
· Executive Reception Service & Front Office Management Support
· Video Conferencing, Collaboration, and Conference Facilities
· Professional Support Services & Back-Office Management Support
· Sales & Marketing Assistance Programs – Direct Marketing & Telemarketing
· Meeting & Event Planning Services On & Off-Site
· Telephone Answering & Virtual Assistant Services
· Modern & Attractive Work Lounges for Mobile & Knowledge Workers
· Multi-media Presentation Capabilities – Many Offices
· Consultative Support on Business Formation & U.S. Expansion Plans

Larger companies can provide sales and support organizations with part-time office space for a minimal expense and at the same time build a cohesive team through the utilization of team rooms and collaboration facilities. Large corporations seeking to reduce their real estate footprint can do so without having to build company owned and operated facilities.

Francisco Lomelin, President & CEO of Access, comments: “We are excited about this venture. Companies are looking to cut real estate costs by utilizing unique facilities like ours to streamline office operations without sacrificing quality and functionality.

Our team of office professionals provides services found in Executive Suite environments as well as complete services for start-up businesses seeking to expand. Client success is our primary goal.”
