Study claims most small businesses don’t have right insurance
Video: Small Business Insurance
In what may not be a big surprise, a business provider reports that the vast majority of small and medium sized businesses in Britain lack the right business insurance.
.The business insurance provider has also revealed that most people in the business community believe that most small businesses are overlooking the range of small business insurance policies and are needlessly putting themselves at risk.
/>“When starting a business, particularly if you are starting in a new industry or profession, insurance is the one of the easiest things to forget,” said a spokeswoman.
A Nation Driven by Small Business & Other Myths
US Economic Myths Bite the Dust http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/08/14-6 The Great Recession is allowing some widely held beliefs about the US economy – which were the source of much evangelism over the last few decades – to run up against a reality check. This is to be expected, since the United States has been the epicentre of the storm of policy blunders that caused the world recession. This month my CEPR [Center for Economic and Policy Research] colleagues John Schmitt and Nathan Lane showed that the United States is not the nation of small businesses that it is regularly dressed up to be for electoral campaign speeches and editorials.Obama's tax plan and small business
*PUBLIC* Obama’s Tax Plan and Small Businesses 10/7/2008 Filed under: 2008 Election — DRJ @ 10:25 pm http://www.patterico.com/2008/10/07/obamas-tax-plan-and-small-businesses/ At tonight’s Town Hall Presidential debate, I think Barack Obama said this about his tax policies [EDIT: according to the CNN transcript]: “Only a few percent of small businesses make more than $250,000 a year. So the vast majority of small businesses would get a tax cut under my plan.” The US Small Business Administration (SBA) defines a “small business” according to its average annual receipts or the number of its employees. Here are examples from the SBA’s Table of Small Business Size Standards setting forth the maximum average annual receipts by industry that a business can have and still be classified as a small business: Crop production of all types — $750,000 Animal production except for cattle & chicken/eggs — $750,000 Cattle feedlots — $2.5M Chicken/egg production — $12.5M Forestry & logging — $7M Fishing — $4M Irrigation, sewage, water supplies — $7M Housing construction — $33.5M Heavy and civil engineering construction — $33.5M Dredging and cleanup — $20M Concrete, framing, and other housing contractors — $14M Car dealers — $23-29M RV, motorcycle, & boat dealers — $7M Furniture, hardware, clothing & sporting good stores — $7M Electronic stores — $9M Supermarkets, gas stations & department stores — $27M Pharmacies — $7M There are many more examples at the link.Justin Moore - Small Town USA

Florence, the home of many of the world’s greatest art, is where I was inspired by the philosophy of Michelangelo. He saw a soul in the block of marble, and felt that it was his duty to liberate it for the world to see. My 11-year-old daughter, Alex, a gifted artist in her own right, understood this artistic sense of duty.New Model From Nike Vunk

Natalie Portman was on Good Morning America this morning to talk about her upcoming film in limited release, “My Blueberry Nights,” and she told a moving story about the organization she works with, FINCA, which gives small loans to entrepreneurs in the developing nations to help change their lives. When Portman was in Uganda ten years ago she met an impoverished woman with ten daughters who was beaten frequently by her husband for not bearing him a son. The woman lived on .80 a day from her husband, but she was able to get rid of him and eventually start her own restaurant after a micro loan from FINCA: When I was in Uganda I was lucky enough to meet this woman, Niema, she had ten daughters, and… her husband was beating her because she couldn’t make a son, and she was living on .80 a day and depending on her husband for it.New to the community - I like it here
This is my daughter picking wildflowers. We found her cute pioneer style dress at a thrift shop for only a few dollars. I always liked these pictures because the expanse of sky and grass was a great juxtaposition against her small beauty and that of the tiny wildflowers. Also I managed to get some good light and not mess up the settings. I'm really impressed with the photography I'm seeing here, best of luck in the canvas contest. ~catoon
