It is a vision by Suzannah Dacre, that people are calling powerful, and profound, and aims to close the gap between rich and poor, that allows people to be selfish and selfless at the same time.

Fred Sancilio: 5 Things an Entrepreneur Should Know Before Accepting Investments from Anyone
1. What are you going to do with the investment? When you get money from someone as an investment, you should know exactly what you are going to do with it. There is a huge difference when you use the money to buy facilities or equipment and spending the money on salaries or other expenses that cannot be sold again (or capitalized). Keep in mind that there is a difference between investment and loan. If you take an investment to buy a building or a machine for your business, you probably want to design it as a loan with an equity “kicker”. That means, you use whatever you’re buying to guarantee the loan, and to sweeten the deal, you give the lender a small amount of equity (stock or ownership) in your business. According to Fred Sancilio If your credit has been established with a commercial bank, you can normally finance up to 80% of the value of the facilities and 50% of the value of the machinery. The good thing about loans from a bank is they normally won’t require the kicker, but they will require you to personally guarantee the loan by taking collateral which may include the thing you’re buying and some other assets you own, like your car or home. However, when you go to an investor, and ask for a loan, your interest could be negotiated lower than a bank, but you’ll be giving away a piece of your venture too. If you are going to use the investment to pay employees or pay for services, the investor may loan you the money, but he’ll want both guarantees that you’re going to pay it back (mortgage or title of your car) or if he doesn’t want a guarantee, he’ll ask for more equity (ownership) and some form of control over you. So, before seeking an investor, be very careful how you ask for the money and try and minimize your own personal guarantee by using the thing you’re buying as the guarantee.

Followings are the 5 tips from Wes Mussio on ICBC 1- CONTACT A LAWYER The NDP government has made multiple legislative changes over the time since they took over the government in 2017. They basically have created a quagmire of different policies and procedures that apply based on when the motor vehicle accident occurred. As an example, on April 1, 2019, the “minor injury” definition was introduced which limits payment of pain and suffering to $5,500 on accidents on or after April 1, 2019. Before then, there was no limit on pain and suffering. After June 1, 2021, assuming no fault is put into place, there will be no pain and suffering.
