1. Building it right: How to successfully develop an idea
Anyone who has ventured into the world of entrepreneurism knows the feeling: how did I not think of that? Many of our best ideas in business are the ones we have yet to dive into. People in business often put off starting work on their great idea because they do not feel prepared or think they lack experience. This can hold back would-be innovators from bringing their concepts into reality.
Everyone wants to be ready before they dive into an idea that they believe to have real potential. However, it’s also true that developing an idea and having it finally put money in your account is something you should start as soon as you can.
2. Launching a small business may cost less than you think
How much will this cost?
It’s the most natural, foundational question to ask when you’re considering whether or not to start your very own business.
And, while every business is different, there are some general answers to this question that can help you plan your finances and understand how much money you may need to borrow.

3. An umbrella for you, general liability insurance for your business
Ever notice it almost always seems to rain on the day you decide not to grab your umbrella?
It’s right there leaning in the corner of your doorway or under that pile of reusable bags in the trunk.
But you look out at that clear blue sky. Or you choose to believe the optimistic minute-to-minute forecast an orbiting satellite beams down to that smartphone in your palm.
And you decide to forego the protection—only to be reminded of how true the maxim, When it rains it pours… can truly be.
Now, at least when you skip the umbrella you only get wet. You change your clothes, towel off your hair, and move on with your day.
But when you fail to plan for a rainy day at your small business the consequences can be much more dire—claims of bodily injury and property damage that can result in huge, bottom-line swallowing legal costs or judgments.
Think of General Liability Insurance as an umbrella, shielding your small business from raindrops large and small.
