BBB Business Tip: Start-up costs to consider as a new business owner

Many small business owners plan to do everything themselves, but professional assistance can take some of the weight off an owner's shoulders. More importantly, financial and legal advice can save time, money, and even protect from a worst-case scenario. It makes up for whatever shortcomings you may have as a new business owner so that your track record in the marketplace stays positive.  

June is National Men’s Health Month

Raising awareness about men’s health is important every day of the year. Encourage the men in your life to get their annual exams! Research by the CDC states that men in the U.S pass away 5 years earlier than women, with the leading cause being heart disease, cancer, and injuries. The percentage of men ages 18 and over who have fair or poor health is 13.2%. Our goal this month is to bring awareness to the importance of men’s healthcare, mental health, preventable health, and early detection of diseases. 

We encourage you and your loved ones to seek yearly medical check-ups in order to catch diseases in their early stages and receive the treatment needed. 

Stock Markets ended the month primarily flat, and U.S. Home prices rose 21.15%

last month.

Cigarette Taxes in Europe

To ensure the functioning of its internal market, the European Union (EU) sets a minimum excise duty on cigarettes. It consists of a specific component and an ad valorem component, resulting in a minimum overall excise duty of €1.80 (US $2.13) per 20-cigarette pack and 60 percent of an EU country’s weighted average retail selling price (certain exceptions apply). As this map shows, most EU countries levy much higher excise duties on cigarettes than legally required.
