&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;Did you buy equipment for your business in 2023?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;Did you know you may be able to write the entire purchase off immediately? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;(There’s still time before the end of the year… but many assets are hard to get your hands on right now.

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;Even better – finance the equipment, save taxes immediately, and pay for the equipment over time as it makes you money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Right?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;I’m no accountant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;If you make tax decisions based on what I tell you…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;…well…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;…let’s just assume you’re going to make sure you do what your actual accountant tells you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;That would be a smart idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Don’t snooze or you might lose…)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;Even better – finance the equipment, save taxes immediately, and pay for the equipment over time as it makes you money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Right?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Super special note… &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;I’m no accountant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;If you make tax decisions based on what I tell you…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;…well…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;…let’s just assume you’re going to make sure you do what your actual accountant tells you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;That would be a smart idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
