Having a clear, thorough, and enforceable credit policy is critical for businesses that extend trade credit to their customers. It delineates who you’ll extend credit to, under what terms, and describes your process for collecting on delinquent accounts. It’s intended to offer guidance to your credit department when faced with difficult decisions. It also standardizes credit practices so that both your staff and your customers know what to expect when credit is extended.

When it comes to automating, many firms focus on finding the latest tech, believing that efficiency is something achieved through new tools. Yet true efficiency is achieved by delivering real value to clients, not merely by upgraded systems. Without a clear approach, no level of automation can overcome the complexities of serving every client’s needs.

By John C. Back in March when the pandemic was starting to gather speed and we were sent home with our computer equipment to work, I had no idea what to expect.

The value of property can be highly dependent on the rights—like easements and rights-of-way—that come along with it. For example, your property value will be affected by the extent of your ability to build on the property, or if a neighboring property owner has the right to drive through your property. These ancillary rights can be through licenses, covenants, easements, or rights-of-way.

Credit cards with flexible payment options, especially for young adults with little-to-no credit history, are a particularly important and valuable solution for this generation.

Contractors cannot file mechanic’s liens on public construction projects, such as work on military bases, courthouses, or government owned buildings. Instead, the Federal Miller Act, 40 U.S.C. § 3131-3134 , fills in this gap by protecting certain levels of subcontractors and material suppliers from general contractors who fail to pay them on federal construction projects.

When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place. Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.

Lots of folks are using hand sanitizer these days. Sometimes it is hard to find hand sanitizers on the shelves or on-line, and there might be an inclination to buy any brand you find. Because there are a bunch of dangerous brands on the market containing methanol (which can be toxic, even life-threatening when ingested), I thought I'd post the FDA's warnings about methanol-containing hand sanitizers.
