Before the Reporter Calls: Building a Media Kit That Gets TriCounty Businesses Covered

When local entrepreneurs strengthen their speaking skills, they build trust faster, clarify their value more effectively, and create new opportunities

A wave of software innovation and cloud-based tools has turned tax prep into a background
Visual Storytelling: Turning Moments Into Customers Without Saying a Word
There’s a reason people slow down at street murals, skim less when there’s a photo involved, and pause longer on posts with strong design.

For small business owners trying to cut through the noise, mastering the art of visual storytelling isn’t just a nice touch; it’s oxygen.

What Reading, PA SBOs Should Know Now Regarding The CTA, BOI and FinCEN
The Corporate Transparency Act may require certain U.S. companies to disclose beneficial ownership information to FinCEN to combat financial crimes. While a Texas federal district court’s preliminary injunction puts this requirement on hold, many experts expect that to be overturned. In that event, failure to file could lead to fines of $500 per day, up to a maximum of $10,000, and possible criminal penalties. However, filing your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report will help you avoid fines
