Florida Real Estate Investors — Meet Your New Favorite Entity Structure 🏡⚖️ Big news for anyone building a Florida property portfolio or managing multiple investment entities: Florida has finally joined the ranks of states recognizing Series LLCs. Beginning July 1, 2026, real estate investors will be able to create “protected series” within a single LLC — each with its own assets, liabilities, and operations. Think of it as a portfolio of LLCs under one roof — the same liability protection and separation, but with far less paperwork and cost. If you own multiple rental properties or manage investment projects, this change could be a game-changer for risk management, tax efficiency, and administrative simplicity. 🧠 My colleague Peter Dzuba can explain it better, so please reach out to me if you would like to be connected and check out the article below. 💡 Whether you’re a seasoned investor, fund sponsor, or business owner thinking about restructuring in 2026 — this is a must-read.

As an entrepreneur, focus on what won’t change over the next 10 years. For Amazon, that means low prices, fast delivery, and a wide selection. These are the things that matter and will always matter. In my insurance business, I know one thing is certain, People will always need insurance. It’s been around for centuries and will be around for centuries more. What will people always want? The best pricing, multiple options, and carriers. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends, Especially with the shiny new things everyone’s talking about. But I focus on the tried and true, the things that have stood the test of time. These are the areas worth putting energy into because they are built to last. When the trends fade, these timeless principles remain. That’s why I invest in what’s proven and sustainable. Look to the past to predict the future, It's the foundation for long-term success. You can chase the latest craze, But those who focus on what lasts are the ones who build empires. Never settle.

Hi😊😊 Today, let's talk about the Keyman compensation plan for Founders or CEOs of businesses and their investors . Every business has individuals whose unique skills, relationships, connections or visions are indispensable to the existence and success of the business. These are the Founders, CEOs, COOs, Managing Directors, Senior Executives of organizations etc. These class of individuals are called keymen or key persons and must be protected by all means. What happens if the unthinkable (death, critical illness, or disability) occurs and that "key person" is suddenly unable to contribute? That's where Keyman Insurance comes in. People most times misunderstand the Keyman Insurance to be a compensation plan for the staff or employee the business incepted it for. No, it is not. Rather it is a crucial financial protection strategy or risk mitigation for the business owners and their investors. This is how it's done. The Business owns the keyman compensation plan and pays the premiums so the Business is the beneficiary in case of any of the above-mentioned unexpected or unthinkable events happen. For the Founders or CEOs of such businesses, the Payout from the insurance company provides the capital needed to hire or train replacements, lost revenue, and debt obligations This ensures continuity and stability during such challenging times in the company. And for the investors who may have invested in such businesses, having the Keyman compensation plan reduces or outrightly clears their exposure to loosing their invested funds. In today's dynamic environment, safeguarding your business against unforeseen circumstances is paramount and the best decision you could make for the business is to set up the Keyman compensation plan for your Keymen or key persons. Its therefore, time to assess who your keymen people are and how their absence could impact your operations. Let's discuss how to set this up for you at Leadway Assurance. Attached is a table illustration of how it works👇👇 #KeymanInsurance #BusinessProtection #RiskManagement #SmallBusiness #CorporateFinance #Entrepreneurship #BusinessStrategy #Wealthprotection #Legacyplanning #Wealthtransfer #Angelinvestors #Startups #FoundersCEOsCOOs

Beyond the concern for the employee’s safety, entrepreneurs must also consider the potential legal, financial, and reputational consequences for their company. An employee car accident can disrupt operations, trigger insurance claims, and […] The post What Entrepreneurs Should Do After an Employee Car Crash appeared first on Entrepreneurship Life.

How do I finance my Startup? How do I prepare my startup for angel or VC funding?…How do I ($$$$ fill in the blank) my business? These questions or similar are asked perhaps 100,000 times per hour around the US…to 200,000 different entities, organizations, friends, and strangers. This contributes to the perception that there is a funding issue in our country, and that some groups and communities are being left out of opportunities. As an organized nation with a first in class infrastructure for communicating in various formats and platforms.. Somehow we managed to make something that is so essential to businesses at any stage. One of the most confusing, and divisive processes in the USA….capital should be democratize in a way that is as simple as a single application that goes out to the masses of funding sources (dilutive and non-dilutive) and routed properly to the most likely match. Not guaranteeing any approvals for funding of course…but every entrepreneur seeking capital should get a "proper look". For something as fundamental as growing businesses that in return…hire people, pay taxes, create products and services our citizens and citizens of the world want and need…etcetera..etcetera We did this for health insurance with the Affordable Care Act…which some people and institutions liked and some didn't particularly care for..but it gave citizens for the first time in our history a central place to get a "proper look" at health insurance plans in a competitive environment. Why can't we do this for capital..especially non-dilutive capital? This would be a worthy venture for the Trump Administration to address. I know what some are saying…government should stay out and getting involved would only make things worse. Capital should be democratized….Banks, CDFI's and all institutions with non-dilutive capital that is backed by our deposits or government funded grants should be made possible for all citizens to have an easy and centralized path to getting a "proper look". Just a thought..open for feedback How much more powerful of a nation would we be economically..if we gave our entrepreneur class an easy, fair path to capital?
