Small business owners have several ways to protect their financial position from loss, some of which are better understood than others. Insurance coverage, often in the form of liability insurance, and surety bonds are two of the most common types of protection small businesses may implement. While these terms are often used interchangeably, there are distinct differences that make them stand apart from one another. This brief guide provides insight into how surety bonds work, how that differs from insurance coverage, and when either is needed to safeguard a business and its customers. The Ins and Outs of Surety Bonds Being bonded and insured is not the same thing. Surety bonds – the first part of that phrase – provide protection to the customers and clients of businesses owners, licensed contractors, and other professionals. Bonds are provided by surety agencies as a way to reduce financial losses or damages incurred by the bondholder's customer should the contract agreed upon n...

It's January!  There's something about the promise of a new year that always gives me extra motivation to tackle tough projects. January feels like is a fresh start, and it's no wonder that we get the urge to refresh and get organized!  Christmas is over, and it's time to get back to work. For me that means heading back to my home office since I work from home. And this January I decided it was finally time to tackle the project that I had been putting off for the past few years.  …..creating my dream home office! Last January I reorganized my pantry with the help of Better Homes & Gardens products from Walmart and it turned out amazing.  Last summer I reorganized my boy's study space using Better Homes & Gardens products! So it's no surprise that when I think of organizing on a budget my first stop is Better Homes & Gardens products at Walmart. Julie and I are honored to be part of The Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart Influencer Network. We ...

IG presents the next instalment of 'IG Commodity Chat' – a series of live discussions focused on commodity markets ​ ​ ​ Our second chat will look at  possible trends in the oil market ​ Presenter Sara Walker will be joined by industry advisor Malcolm Graham-Wood and IHS Markit's director of oil, Spencer Welch ​ Watch live on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube at 1pm (UK time) on Thursday 29 November ​ Viewers can submit questions for the Q&A using #IGCommodityChat on social media The future of the oil market has increasingly been called into question as a variety of factors continue to impact global supply and demand, including US sanctions against Iran and the negotiations between OPEC and non-OPEC nations. However, the largest driving force of change is the rise of renewable energies. The growth of investment in alternative energies has started to cause oil companies to reconsider their role in the future of energy production, and we are already seeing adjustments to sup...

It's time once again to do our annual rental property cash flow analysis. To see previous years, visit the link at the bottom of the post. T wenty-eighteen was another challenging year for our rental property: 100% occupied (thankfully), new contract negotiations, and major water damage that ruined the wood floors! If you're new to my recaps, this is property is our old personal residence – a Frisco, TX townhome we purchased in 2007 and converted to a rental property in 2012. We bought it for $205,000 and put 20% down. We now owe $137,000 on it and the value is listed as $324,000. We manage this property ourselves: listing it , vetting tenants , managing repairs , rent collection , and raising rent . You can now add 'dealing with a major insurance claim' to that list.. It's been a very positive experience overall, especially if you consider we're somewhat accidental landlords. In summary, this year was our second best yet! Thankfully we kept our tenant through ...

This experience was sponsored by Barclaycard. However, all content and opinions expressed here are my own. W ouldn't it be cool to be on the sidelines at an NFL game? This could be a dream-come-true experience, especially for long-time or young fans. Who doesn't want to get close to their heroes down on the field? I'd love to one day bring my kid(s) down on the field. Not many people get to experience being that close to the action of arguably the greatest sports spectacle in the world: an NFL game. The intensity, athleticism, and excitement are unmatched. Outside of suiting up and getting in the actual game, being on the sidelines at an NFL game is as close as you're going to get to the action. But how do you get down there? Unless you're a player, coach, a former player, member of the media, or some other type of employee/contractor of the team or stadium, you're not going to easily get down there. I certainly don't recommend trying it without permission. ...
