This morning in an e-mail i received from Schwab was the message that 5.4 million Americans applied for business licenses in 2021 (up 53 percent from the pre-pandemic year of 2019).
That's a lot of people starting businesses. When did you start your business or become a freelancer/solopreneur/contractor? And what prompted that action?

Canadian MSB licensing has really helped my payment business grow. The regulatory framework gives you credibility that's hard to get elsewhere and opens doors with major financial institutions. What's really useful about https://thebankify.com/the-winning-factor-of-a-canadian-msb-license-for-business/ is how it explains the competitive advantages you get. The application process is thorough but fair, and once you're registered the compliance requirements are manageable. Canadian regulators are professional and understand modern fintech operations. Having this license has helped me expand into new markets and attract bigger clients who require proper regulatory backing

I getting ready to retire from working tge 9 to 5 and will consult part time. I do not have any desire to leave working altogether but I do want to be selective and work far less. I have other interests in my life that now are a priority and I'd like to dedicate more time to them.
