    Homesafe Wealth Release: Offering Equity With Peace of Mind

    SYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Accessing equity in your home can be a complex and detailed process that can leave you feeling frustrated and confused. With so many obstacles to navigate, you need someone to guide you through this process.

    This is where Homesafe Wealth Release comes in.

    Established in 2005, this Australian financial services company is dedicated not only to helping homeowners over 60 access the equity in their homes but also to doing so without taking on debt. Their flagship product, the Homesafe Wealth Release, offers a lump-sum payment in exchange for a pre-arranged, capped share of the home’s future sale proceeds, allowing homeowners to access the equity in their home without risking their financial stability.

    Safeguarding One’s Home With Homesafe Wealth Release®

    Homesafe Wealth Release® from Homesafe Solutions aims to take the guesswork out of accessing the equity in one’s home. As a service exclusively available to homeowners aged 60+, HomeSafe Wealth Release® allows homeowners to receive a lump sum payment in exchange for a capped share of the future sale of their home.

    Clients who are eligible for the program retain full ownership of their property and the right to live in it for life, with no interest accrued, no monthly repayments required, and no downsizing necessary, all while enjoying protection against negative equity.

    Thousands of older homeowners have found financial freedom with Homesafe. They not only provide you peace of mind in retirement, but also ensure that you never receive more than the agreed-upon share of the future sale proceeds of your home.

    How It Works

    Rather than a reverse mortgage loan, you, as a homeowner, sell Homesafe a share of the future value of the home. This is based on the future value of the house you decide to sell. Together with your age and the value of your home upon signup, Homesafe determines the amount of cash it can provide to you based on the future share you wish to sell.

    The process begins by entering into a contract with Homesafe. It then proceeds with the release of an upfront cash amount that you and Homesafe agree upon when entering into the Homesafe Contract. Once your future home is eventually sold, you or your estate will then be entitled to the share of the sale of your home that was not sold to Homesafe.

    Providing Peace of Mind During Retirement

    Homesafe Solutions’ primary goal is to help homeowners over 60 feel confident that they can access their home’s equity without going into debt. It is neither a loan nor a reverse mortgage, and there is no requirement to sell your home if you move into aged care.

    Instead, you remain the legal owner of your home, can live out your life within it, and even sell when you decide. You can even rent out your home and retain the income you receive from it.

  • Businesses are Urged to File Form 941 for Q2 by July 31st to Avoid Costly Penalties

    Businesses are Urged to File Form 941 for Q2 by July 31st to Avoid Costly Penalties

    Business owners have until July 31 to e-file Q2 Form 941 or face penalties up to 25%, and TaxBandits offers a fast, compliant solution to avoid them.

    ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Business owners across the nation have just eight days remaining (until July 31) to file Form 941 for quarter 2 (Q2), 2025, before facing automatic penalties that could reach 25% of taxes owed.

    According to IRS data for the 2024 tax year, over 550,000 employment tax returns were delinquent, resulting in almost $4.5 million in penalties assessed.

    Immediate Financial Impact of Missing The Form 941 Deadline
    Form 941, the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, requires all businesses with employees to report wages, tips and tax withholdings from April through June 2025. Even if an employer did not pay any wages, tips or withholdings, filers are typically required to file a zero report. Missing this deadline-even by a few days-can lead to significant consequences for businesses of all sizes.

    Here is the IRS penalty structure that escalates quickly for late filings:

    • Month 1: 5% of unpaid taxes

    • Month 2: Additional 5% (10% total)

    • Months 3-5: 5% per month (maximum 25%)

    • Additional interest charges compound monthly

    • Potential payroll tax audits within 90 days of missed deadlines

    “Many business owners don’t realize that Form 941 penalties are assessed immediately on August 1st-there’s no grace period. We’ve seen relatively small companies face $10,000+ penalties simply because they missed the deadline by a few days,” said CEO of SPAN Enterprises Naga Palanisamy.

    With risks of penalties and audits, filers can feel overwhelmed. It was reported that 37% of small businesses were anxious or scared of filing taxes.

    Essential Information Needed for Filing
    To complete Form 941 successfully, businesses must compile Q2 2025 data including:

    • Total wages, tips and compensation paid to all employees

    • Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare tax withholdings

    • Employer contributions to Social Security and Medicare

    • Any payroll tax deposits made during the quarter

    • Total number of employees who received wages

    Streamlined 941 Filing Solution from TaxBandits
    TaxBandits, an IRS-authorized e-file provider, has processed over 2 million Form 941 filings with a 99.7% acceptance rate. Their platform addresses common filing challenges through:

    Error Prevention Technology

    • Automatic tax calculations

    • Built-in compliance checks

    Efficiency Features for Tax Professionals

    • Bulk upload capability for multiple clients

    • Copy data from previous quarters

    • Secure client portal for e-signatures

    • IRS status updates

    Emergency Filing Support

    • Extended customer service hours through July 31

    • Streamlined process for last-minute filers

    • Direct access to customer success specialists

    In addition to these exclusive features, TaxBandits also facilitates a fast and effortless zero reporting feature for businesses that have no wages/taxes to report for the quarter.

    How Businesses Can Take Action Before July 31
    With processing times varying based on IRS server capacity, TaxBandits recommends completing filings by July 29 to ensure on-time submission.

    “The cost of our filing service is almost always significantly less than the IRS penalty for not filing,” said Palanisamy. “For businesses with tight cash flow, avoiding these penalties can be the difference between a profitable quarter and a struggling one.”

    With TaxBandits, tax professionals managing multiple clients can utilize bulk filing tools to process dozens of returns simultaneously, significantly reducing the risk of missing deadlines across their client base.

    For immediate access to Form 941 filing solutions, businesses are encouraged to visit www.TaxBandits.com or call their dedicated deadline support line at 704-684-4751.

  • New Slotozilla Tool Helps Americans Find the Most Affordable Cities to Live Based on Their Income

    New Slotozilla Tool Helps Americans Find the Most Affordable Cities to Live Based on Their Income

    Jul. 23, 2025 / PRZen / PHILADELPHIA — With housing costs rising by over 6% nationwide in 2024 and rent prices in major cities exceeding $2,000/month, Americans are feeling the financial squeeze. In response, Slotozilla has launched a groundbreaking interactive analytical tool designed to help users identify where they can afford to live—based on their actual income and lifestyle needs.

    The new tool, available now at Slotozilla, provides personalized insights on city affordability using real-time economic data, and is already drawing attention for its usability, accuracy, and relevance in today’s cost-conscious climate.

    Understanding the Purpose: Why This Tool Matters

    In today’s economic climate, affordability has become a top concern for millions of Americans. The cost of rent, food, transportation, and other essentials varies drastically from city to city. Until now, most calculators have failed to reflect the personal reality of individuals’ income and expenses.

    The new Slotozilla tool changes that.

    Purpose
    To give people a clear, personalized view of which U.S. cities offer the best value for their income—based on the latest data from 2024 and 2025.

    What You’ll Learn or Do:

    • Discover which cities fit your budget
    • Compare living costs and average rent by income level

    • Interactive maps and graphs that visualize cost differences
    • Data that reveals where you’ll get the most for your money

    Key Insights You Can Use

    Slotozilla’s analysis of 2024-2025 data reveals some compelling findings:

    Affordable hotspots for under $50,000/year incomes include:

    • Knoxville, TN
    • Des Moines, IA
    • Fort Wayne, IN
    • High-income havens (over $120,000/year) where quality of life is worth the price:
      • Denver, CO
      • Seattle, WA
      • Austin, TX
    • Hidden gems: Cities like Chattanooga, TN, and Boise, ID, offer strong affordability for middle-income earners working remotely.

    Most people rely on guesswork or outdated assumptions when deciding where to live. “Our tool uses real, updated economic data to give people clarity—and potentially save them thousands of dollars each year.”

    Designed for Everyone: From Young Professionals to Retirees

    Whether you’re:

    • A college graduate looking to relocate
    • A family exploring better living conditions
    • A retiree trying to maximize your savings
    • A remote worker wanting more value from your paycheck

    This tool provides real, actionable insight tailored to your situation.

    And it’s not just for planning a move-users can also compare their current city’s affordability to others, helping them make better financial decisions without packing a single box.

  • Denmark Buys Four MQ-9B SkyGuardians From GA-ASI

    Denmark Buys Four MQ-9B SkyGuardians From GA-ASI

    NSPA Supports Denmark and European Countries in MQ-9B Acquisition and Sustainment

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Denmark and the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) have announced the procurement of four MQ-9B SkyGuardian® Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. The purchase includes three Certified Ground Control Stations.

    Stacy A. Cummings, NSPA General Manager (third from left), with GA-ASI representatives (from left to right) Chris Dusseault, David Alexander, Linden Blue, Christophe Fontaine, Aria Mahdion and Bart Roper at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT).

    Denmark joins a growing list of European countries that have selected MQ-9B for its multi-domain capabilities with exceptionally long range and endurance. The platform provides pole-to-pole satellite control and de-icing capabilities to enable missions in the harsh conditions of the Arctic in support of Denmark and its NATO Allies. Additionally, MQ-9B’s in-house-developed Detect and Avoid System aids MQ-9B’s ability to fly in unsegregated airspace for domestic civilian operations, making it highly versatile for operations from Denmark.

    MQ-9B recently became the first large remotely piloted aircraft to obtain a Military Type Certificate (MTC) from the UK’s Military Aviation Authority, certifying its safe operation without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas.

    “It’s been a very productive year for our MQ-9B platforms,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “First, we earned MTC and now we’ve added Denmark to the U.K., Belgium, and Poland as MQ-9B customers in Europe. I believe the extensive waters of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Baltic Sea of the Nordic countries make the MQ-9B a very effective tool for national maritime surveillance and security.”

    MQ-9B SkyGuardian is the first and only unmanned system to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean’s surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations. MQ-9B can also be fitted with a number of payloads including a maritime surveillance package with a 360-degree maritime radar and/or sonobuoy dispensing pods.

    This sale was aided and supported by NSPA, which has developed a contractual framework for supporting cooperation amongst its member nations and promoting the proliferation of MQ-9B in Europe. NSPA has added MQ-9B to its portfolio of defense systems to contract on behalf of European nations, with the goal of enhancing interoperability while facilitating training and joint operations.

    “This procurement demonstrates how NSPA enables efficient, effective and responsive multinational acquisitions for advanced, interoperable capabilities. We are proud to support Denmark in this strategic investment for national maritime surveillance and security,” said Ms. Stacy A. Cummings, NSPA General Manager.

    About GA-ASI

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

    Retirement Income Expert, Cathy Mendell, Launches Your Next Chapter

    Live Coaching to Help Retirees Turn Savings into Lifetime Paychecks

    JACKSONVILLE, OR / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Retirement income expert Cathy Mendell, founder of Theia Financial, is launching Your Next Chapter, a highly interactive live virtual coaching workshop created to guide retirees through their transition from work paychecks to retirement paychecks. With coaching workshops for the public and private retirement readiness workshops designed for employers, Your Next Chapter provides those nearing retirement with a guided path to the vital components of creating a successful retirement income plan.

    The massive wave of Americans approaching retirement, who are the first to rely on 401(k)s and other defined contribution plans rather than traditional pensions, now faces a critical turning point. The shift from relying on employer-managed retirement plans to the sudden responsibility of self-managing their investments upon leaving the workforce has many retirees feeling uncertain, vulnerable to market risk, and overwhelmed as they realize the onus has been placed on them to convert their retirement assets into a reliable monthly income that they won’t outlive. With 11,200 Americans turning 65 every day through 2027, the need for guidance has never been greater.

    Cathy Mendell has provided one-on-one coaching to hundreds of retirees as they transition from the accumulation phase of retirement, while working, to the decumulation phase upon retirement. With her proprietary framework, TheiaPath, she offers more than just a “probability of success”; she delivers a step-by-step process to help clients maximize their monthly retirement income and protect themselves against the financial threats of longevity, inflation, taxes, and sequence-of-returns risk in the stock market.

    Through Your Next Chapter, Mendell now opens up the TheiaPath framework in the form of group coaching workshops where participants can engage, ask questions, and get answers in real-time. Here, they will define retirement goals, map out lifestyle expenses, learn about withdrawal tax strategies, discover guaranteed income options, and begin to build a retirement paycheck plan they can count on for life.

    “Too many retirees are stuck hoping their savings will last, with no clear plan or income strategy. Your Next Chapter changes that. This is more than coaching, it’s a lifeline,” said Cathy Mendell, Founder of Theia Financial. “I created this program to give everyday Americans access to the information they need to begin creating a clear path to predictable income, peace of mind, and a retirement they can actually enjoy.”
