Emergency medical transportation via ambulance, ship, or plane can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and is typically not covered by standard health insurance.
The costs associated with transportation and cremation after an accidental death are not covered by health insurance.
• Comprehensive coverage includes medical expenses and safeguards against financial risks, such as trip cancellations or lost baggage.
• Extra Peace of Mind: Provides extra peace of mind and financial protection while traveling.
• Emergency: Provides coverage for accidents, flight cancellations, or emergency evacuation.
• Supplemental to Existing Insurance: This can supplement your existing health insurance.
Business travel insurance can be included in your company's travel expenses and may qualify for business tax credits. Companies should consider offering travel insurance to their employees and shareholders.

Yes, non-US citizens can own a US corporation or LLC, and there are generally no restrictions on foreign ownership of a US company. The process for a non-US citizen to form a corporation in the US is the same as for a US resident. But there are restrictions for non-US citizens:
• Registered agent: Most states require that all companies formed in the state have a registered agent in the same state. non-US citizens need to have a physic address or registered agent in the state to form a corporation.
• Business entity type: There may be certain restrictions on the type of business entity a non-US citizen can form. non-US Citizen cannot form S-Corporation, unless permanent resident (green card holder), since S-Corporation income will pass through to Individual Income. A non-US Citizen can form a C-Corporation or Limited Liability Corporation.

2024.09.08 Can a non-U.S. citizen get a mortgage loan?
Non-U.S. citizens are allowed to buy property in the U.S. regardless of whether or not they have legal documentation permitting them to be here. This means that foreign nationals, visa and green-card holders, and even traveler can buy a home in the U.S.
Both permanent and non-permanent residents can qualify for a conforming mortgage. But non-residents typically have to utilize non-QM loan through certain banks or loan brokers who have special program for non-US citizens.
Credit history: As with any mortgage loan, lenders will also need to look at credit history to make sure the person will be responsible for the repayment of loan and interest.
Income verification: Lenders will also look at the income and verify that borrower has consistent and stable earnings with which to make the monthly payments. They may also ask for bank statements to confirm the deposits, and they may contact the company the borrower works for to verify the length of employment and current job position.
Down payment requirements: Borrower usually needs a down payment to qualify for a mortgage loan. This is much like a deposit, and the more you put down, the better loan terms you'll usually get. For non-US citizens, bank will require higher amount for down payment to 50% of the value of the property.

2024.08.17 Starting January 1, 2024, New Law required to file Beneficial Ownership Information Report for Your Business
Under the Corporate Transparency Act, U.S. small businesses must file beneficial ownership information reports with the Department of the Treasury.
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), aimed at combating illicit financial activity, went into effect on January 1, 2024. Under the act, small businesses across the United States need to file beneficial ownership information reports, also known as corporate transparency reports.
• Starting January 1, 2024, U.S. businesses will be required to submit a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report.
• Failure to properly file a BOI report may incur severe civil and criminal penalties, including fines of up to $100,000 and up to two years of prison time.
• The deadline for filing a BOI report depends on when a company was created or registered. Companies created before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, and companies created or registered after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2025, have 90 days from their date of creation or registration.
2024.08.09 Rising Demand for Flex WorkSpace
During the pandemic time. The increasing popularity in hybrid working is driving huge demand for workspaces close to where people live. Research by IWG found that 72% of hybrid workers said they would only consider new jobs and roles that allowed them to base themselves at workspaces close to home for part of the week. In response to this demand, IWG has launched a major programme of expansion: in the first three quarters of 2023 alone, it added 612 new locations to its global network, including 300 in the USA. The vast majority of these openings around the world were in suburbs. High quality local workspaces help the suburbs to boost the demands for jobs and business opportunities. And the demand is set to continue, according to the report. It predicts that by 2043, the average US commuter town in its sample will require an extra 57,000- 180,000 sq ft of flexible workspace to accommodate additional hybrid workers. The creation of new flexible workspaces in commuter towns will have a major societal effect, helping to regenerate town centres impacted by global changes in retail patterns. They will also aid the creation of 15-minute cities, in which all essential services and amenities (including high-quality workspaces) are within a 15-minute walk or cycle ride of people’s homes. 15-minute cities have been shown to boost local economies, improve air quality, promote physical activity and increase community spirit.

Emergency medical transportation via ambulance, ship, or plane can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and is typically not covered by standard health insurance.
The costs associated with transportation and cremation after an accidental death are not covered by health insurance.

Non-U.S. citizens are allowed to buy property in the U.S. regardless of whether or not they have legal documentation permitting them to be here. This means that foreign nationals, visa and green-card holders, and even traveler can buy a home in the U.S.
Both permanent and non-permanent residents can qualify for a conforming mortgage. But non-residents typically have to utilize non-QM loan through certain banks or loan brokers who have special program for non-US citizens.
Credit history: As with any mortgage loan, lenders will also need to look at credit history to make sure the person will be responsible for the repayment of loan and interest.
Income verification: Lenders will also look at the income and verify that borrower has consistent and stable earnings with which to make the monthly payments. They may also ask for bank statements to confirm the deposits, and they may contact the company the borrower works for to verify the length of employment and current job position.
Down payment requirements: Borrower usually needs a down payment to qualify for a mortgage loan. This is much like a deposit, and the more you put down, the better loan terms you'll usually get. For non-US citizens, bank will require higher amount for down payment to 50% of the value of the property.

2024.08.09 Rising Demand for Flex WorkSpace
During the pandemic time. The increasing popularity in hybrid working is driving huge demand for workspaces close to where people live. Research by IWG found that 72% of hybrid workers said they would only consider new jobs and roles that allowed them to base themselves at workspaces close to home for part of the week. In response to this demand, IWG has launched a major programme of expansion: in the first three quarters of 2023 alone, it added 612 new locations to its global network, including 300 in the USA. The vast majority of these openings around the world were in suburbs. High quality local workspaces help the suburbs to boost the demands for jobs and business opportunities. And the demand is set to continue, according to the report. It predicts that by 2043, the average US commuter town in its sample will require an extra 57,000- 180,000 sq ft of flexible workspace to accommodate additional hybrid workers. The creation of new flexible workspaces in commuter towns will have a major societal effect, helping to regenerate town centres impacted by global changes in retail patterns. They will also aid the creation of 15-minute cities, in which all essential services and amenities (including high-quality workspaces) are within a 15-minute walk or cycle ride of people’s homes. 15-minute cities have been shown to boost local economies, improve air quality, promote physical activity and increase community spirit.
