Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

The four insurance gaps small businesses share.

Most small-business insurance portfolios share predictable gaps: cyber liability (often excluded from general liability), employment practices (separate from general liability), business interruption (often capped well below actual reliance), and professional liability (excluded if not specifically purchased even when professional services are offered).

Why It Matters

Each gap can become a six-figure claim that the owner assumed was covered. The cost of filling the four gaps is typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars annually.

2.2

Why your business credit card is probably a personal guarantee.

Most small-business credit cards — even those issued in the company name — carry a personal guarantee in the application terms. Default by the business becomes personal liability. This applies to most issuers including those marketed as "business credit builders.".

Why It Matters

Owners assuming corporate-veil protection on business cards can be blindsided by personal collections actions years later. The card's branding does not match the legal exposure.

2.3

How to read the actual cost of a merchant cash advance.

MCAs quote a "factor rate" (typically 1.20-1.50) on the advance amount, plus a daily holdback as a percentage of receipts. Translated to APR, most MCAs cost 60-150% annualized. The structure is legally not a loan, so usury caps and disclosure rules do not apply.

Why It Matters

Cash-strapped small businesses that "just need it now" stack multiple MCAs and end up with daily holdbacks consuming most receipts. Recovery from MCA stacking is rare without formal restructuring or bankruptcy.
