NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company leases office space in eleven different locations with monthly payments ranging from $744 to $10,279 which expire at various dates through April 2025.

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease.

The Company's weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
