A recent survey from pay over time provider, Affirm, revealed that despite record-high costs, the average person plans to take three trips this year and spend over $3,000 on travel. Furthermore, 3 in 4 of Millennial and Gen-Z respondents plan to take up to 6 trips this year, with over half planning to spend up to $5,000 on travel. Traveling on a budget can help ensure that people are spending responsibly while also providing ways to make their money go further.

Online Capital Formation is a cost-effective and reliable alternative to fund businesses

KoreconX

With the latest happenings in the online banking world, venture capital funding is uncertain for the short term. Yet challenging times are when capital for innovation and development is needed most, leading companies at all stages to evaluate a different alternative for capital: the private market. Venture capital refers to investments made by venture capital firms, typically in early-stage startups or companies with high growth potential. Private capital, on the other hand, can come from a variety of sources, such as high-net-worth individuals, family offices, or private equity firms. These investments are made in countless industries and stages of development. Another difference that may lead entrepreneurs to opt for private capital is that, in most cases, venture capital firms take an active role in the management, while private capital investors do not - which allows entrepreneurs to retain control. Oscar A Jofre, Co-founder and CEO of KoreConX, explains. “Using digital platforms to raise funds from investors through JOBS Act regulations, companies have access to the exemptions from SEC registration such as RegA+, RegCF, RegD, and RegS, reaching a larger pool of investors beyond traditional VCs and private equity firms. These investments can be accessed by anyone, regardless of their net worth or accreditation status, and at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year”. The SEC reports that $4.5T was raised in the private capital markets in 2022, of which the new JOBS Act regulations (RegCF, RegA+, RegD) accounted for $150.9B. Online capital formation platforms allow greater transparency, giving investors more information about an offering before they commit to investing in a particular business. This allows investors to make more informed decisions and reduces the risks associated with investing. Online platforms also typically charge lower fees than traditional VCs and private equity firms, making it a more cost-effective way to raise funds. Taken together, these advantages make online capital formation through RegA+, RegCF, RegS, or RegD attractive, viable alternatives to traditional venture capital for companies looking to access a wider pool of investors quickly and efficiently and with greater transparency. About KoreConX Founded in 2016, KoreConX is the first secure, All-In-One platform that manages private companies' capital market activity and stakeholder communications. With an innovative approach and to ensure compliance with securities regulations and corporate law, KoreConX offers a single environment to connect companies to the capital markets and now secondary markets.

Solving The Challenges Of Digital Asset Tax Information Reporting With Ledgible

Ledgible

In recent years, the rise of digital assets and cryptocurrencies has challenged the traditional tax reporting and compliance framework. With more individuals and companies investing in digital assets, there has been a growing need for clear guidelines and reporting mechanisms to ensure proper taxation and regulatory compliance. This is where tax information reporting, specifically Form 1099 generation, plays a crucial role. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that all US taxpayers report their worldwide income, including income earned through the sale or exchange of digital assets and cryptocurrencies. This means that digital asset exchanges, brokers, and other third-party service providers must provide accurate and timely Forms 1099 to their customers and the IRS, underscored in the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act, which goes into effect in 2024. The IRS has been paying closer attention to digital assets and cryptocurrencies in recent years, signaling a shift towards increased regulation and enforcement in this space. In recent years, the IRS has released increased guidance on the taxation of digital assets, highlighting the need for accurate reporting and compliance.

From Middle-Class Families To Millenial Millionaires, Renting Is The New Buying – Rentberry Says It’s Here To Make The Renting Experience A Good One

Rentberry

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The American dream used to be that you got married, settled down, purchased a home and grew old. Today that landscape looks a lot different, and buying a home is not as common as before. While it’s undeniable that financial burdens like increased debt, growing home prices and rampant inflation are contributing to the decrease in home purchases, consumer behaviors and preferences are also shifting towards renting in lieu of buying. Approximately 43 million families live in rented apartments in America; this is the highest level in half a century. Internationally the trends are largely the same; for example, 56% of Swiss and 40% of Germans choose to rent versus buy. And it’s not only people who can’t afford a mortgage that are choosing to rent. In the past five years, the number of households making $150,000 or more a year that decided to rent increased by 82%, and the number of millionaire renter households tripled between 2015 to 2020. So Why Are People Choosing To Rent Instead Of Buy? For starters, it is difficult for people to lock into a 30-year mortgage. Not only do you need a good credit score to get approved, but rising mortgage rates have caused many households to be priced out of buying and remain in the renting space. COVID-19 has made renting a lot more desirable because of the increase in work-from-home options. Prior to the pandemic, 57% of Americans said they rarely or never worked from home. Now a plethora of companies offer remote work as an option, and because of this, people are not geographically tied to their job. This has increased the desire for people to move more freely, and renting makes the most sense for this type of lifestyle. People might want to live in Miami for three months and then go to Los Angeles for the next six. Renting has also become more desirable among millennials because they view buying a house as a step that can be achieved later in life. Millennials are more concerned about debt than they are about buying a house and because of this, they’ve gravitated towards renting for longer. Because of this, more people are looking for mid-term rentals. In a world of digital nomads and professionals working from home, not to mention people who frequently travel for education or work, the need for mid-term rentals is on the rise, and while many companies offer rental services, only a few cater to those searching for mid-term accommodation. Rentberry Inc. is an online rental platform that looks to streamline the entire process and makes renting easy and accessible. What’s more, Rentberry plans to introduce a Flexible Living solution dedicated entirely to mid-term rentals. The Flexible Living feature is for people who are looking for rental agreements between three and 12 months. Rental properties that are part of this program require no security deposit and are fully furnished. As Renting Trend Continues To Increase, The Need For A Comprehensive And Easy Rental Platform Might Be Imperative One of the reasons that Rentberry reports it is such an attractive platform for users is that they bring transparency, accessibility, and ease to the world of renting. To date, renting has been a difficult process with little automation, but Rentberry is seeking to change this. Rentberry is a platform where all rental tasks can be done in one place. The platform is simple and intuitive, and Rentberry offers landlords and tenants a modern, contact-free, and automated means of renting properties. On Rentberry, an applicant can see how many offers have been submitted for a listing as well as other pertinent information. A potential tenant can then submit an application, upload all necessary documentation, and if they are approved by the landlord, there is a lease eSign option. From there the rental property is managed digitally through Rentberry. The company aims to be a one-stop shop for all renter needs – the platform allows tenants to make monthly payments, request maintenance and communicate with the landlord. Plus, if and when a tenant decides to change properties, their previously saved information is ready to be plugged into a new application. Rentberry understands the importance of simple organization and systems that foster a healthy tenant-landlord relationship. Rentberry could be changing the game when it comes to renting, making it easier for tenants and landlords alike. There is no indication that the increase in renting is slowing down any time soon, and Rentberry’s platform could very well become a household name when it comes to renting. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Rentberry is the first closed-loop platform that makes the long-term rental process transparent and safe, offers contactless rental experience, and helps properties realize their true market price. Its patented technology allows tenants to submit custom offers and potentially save $87 billion on move-in costs that are currently blocked as rental security deposits.

Sekur Private Data Set To Launch Swiss-Hosted SekurVPN — First 5000 Subscribers Get A 60% Yearly Discount

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced they will be launching a private, Swiss hosted and highly encrypted, non-big tech VPN solution. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers hosted in Switzerland, and military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company has responded to growing demand from its existing consumer and business users that have asked the company for a VPN product, and Sekur has completed its state-of-the-art Swiss-hosted VPN privacy solution. Sekur has acquired all the servers needed for the encryption processing and hosting of SekurVPN in its Swiss data centers. The official launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. Currently, the company is offering a pre-registration discount to all of its existing Sekur users and shareholders. Pricing will be as follows: $7/month per user or $70/year per user. However, Sekur is offering a promotional price to celebrate the launch. The first 5,000 people to register will receive a 60% discount on the yearly price, totaling $28/year per user for the first two years. Users can go to www.sekurvpn.com to get the offer directly. SekurVPN was designed to help users wanting to mask their IP addresses from hackers. One example of the VPN solution in action would be a user being able to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking location information when a user logs into their bank or email. One major factor about SekurVPN is the fact that users will not need to register their phone numbers to download the App on iOS or Android, rendering the user “invisible” to hackers snooping on users’ phone numbers and penetrating their devices through that weakness. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are very excited to announce this pre-registration opportunity for our users and shareholders and anyone wishing to have true privacy on the internet, at a 60% discount to our already very affordable pricing model. The launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. We have high hopes for the success of SekurVPN, due to its highly private nature, since it does not use any big tech or computing or hosting and offers only Swiss IPs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech or Hyperscaler platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers." Sekur is a closed-loop platform with layers of security and SekurVPN is an extension of its commitment to privacy. The company’s existing corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer users complete privacy because its code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks, and its Swiss hosting protects users from privacy intrusive laws. In today’s day and age of hacking and cybersecurity threats, it is important to have access to true privacy, and Sekur can help you achieve just that. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools.
