Opening a business bank account is one of the first real steps in building a legitimate company. It’s also one of the easiest to delay if you don’t prepare. Banks care about three things: identity, legality, and compliance. Bring the right documents, and you can open an account in as little as a day with online platforms—though traditional banks may still take 1-2 weeks. Miss one, and you're stuck in a loop of emailing PDFs back and forth.

Why it might be time to book holiday flights already Could this be the year to book your holiday flights extra, extra early? The answer is yes. Sure, the calendar has only just flipped to August, and a lot of people haven't even jetted off yet on their summer vacations. What’s more, it feels a little strange to be thinking about brining turkeys, decking the halls or hitting the ski slopes while much of the country battles stifling heat waves.

Can you sue a grocery store for a slip and fall? For most shoppers, going to the grocery store is a routine errand, not a place where they expect to fall and get hurt. While falls are often associated with older adults, they can happen under the most ordinary circumstances to people of all ages, and research shows that the consequences can result in more than a bump or bruise.

For years, accessibility has been filed under the wrong heading. It shows up in budget meetings as a compliance cost, a legal checkbox, a line item to minimize. So leaders ask how little they can spend to stay out of trouble, and the conversation usually ends there. But the businesses that actually measure it see a different picture.

How children became this city’s lead detectors When a doctor told Domininck Tompkins that her 1-year-old’s lead level was too high, she immediately suspected her child was being poisoned at their home, a poorly maintained rental with chipping paint. A few weeks later, when her landlord pulled up in her truck to collect the rent, Tompkins told the woman about a letter from the city confirming that lead detected in her daughter’s body posed significant health risks for the girl.

Refinancing is a common strategy for managing student loan debt, but the decision to refinance isn’t always straightforward. SoFi surveyed 750 borrowers to learn more about their attitudes toward refinancing, student loan types, and monthly payments. The results reveal what proportion of borrowers consider refinancing, what’s holding them back, and how being overwhelmed about the refinancing process creates a roadblock for many.

The 15 newsletters startups are paying for in 2026 Michael Burry launched a paid newsletter, Cassandra Unchained, in late 2025. Within months, it was the No. 8 most-subscribed publication across all Brex customers, racing ahead of writers who spent a decade building their base. Burry’s two-decade-old reputation for contrarian calls made his newsletter a line item on startup corporate cards within months.

Could ‘cellular fragility’ be the missing link in chronic disease? Chronic disease has become one of the hardest health problems to ignore. The CDC reports that 3 in 4 American adults have at least one chronic condition, while heart disease and diabetes remain among the country’s leading causes of death and disability. Many of these conditions build slowly, often years before a clear diagnosis gives them a name. And that slow buildup is part of what makes them so difficult to understand.

Journalists find news everywhere: from conversations and interviews, from research reports and press releases, and from things they observe out in the real world. One way they are increasingly breaking news is by using data that is pulled from companies' internal records and shared with them by marketing and communications teams.

Yellow means creepy: The color-coded anti-harassment system used by restaurant workers When Chef Erin Wade learned that most of her staff had experienced sexual harassment at her restaurant Homeroom in Oakland, California, she was stunned. The inciting incident back in 2015 involved a father of four who reached under a server’s blouse in front of his children. “We’re a family restaurant, our specialty is mac and cheese!” Wade recalls with lingering disbelief.
