Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Having worked with prospective business buyers and sellers for more than thirty years, one of the most frequent complaints I hear is about business brokers. It is common for buyers to bemoan the theory that business brokers do not respond to inquiries, they want an offer in place before they provide meaningful information, the add-backs that they propose do not make sense, and on and on the list goes. Yes, indeed it is true that many brokers are guilty of these infractions, but certainly not all. More importantly what I have learned is that buyers play an equal role, if not greater in the deficiencies of the business buying process. Understanding Their Role Business brokers do not represent buyers; unless they have been engaged and are being paid by them. They represent the seller or the deal. They are not your advisor. Their role is to provide information, answer questions, act as a buffer between the parties, and … [Read more...] about Business Buyers – Stop Complaining About Brokers

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Manuel O. Méndez, Chief Executive Officer of Quotient Limited . Each of us has the power to make a positive impact on the lives of others. When I was learning about value-creation strategies at the beginning of my postgraduate studies, I found myself thinking about how every interaction—be it with colleagues, family, mentors or even members within our wider community—is a value-creation exercise. But what is value creation? The concept in business 101 is simple: It’s a process that turns resources into something that meets the needs of others. Amazingly, I was lucky enough to not only learn about this concept in theory but could also witness it in practice from some of my mentors. My father was the first person in my life who projected an air of inspiration that I quickly picked up on. He inspired me to think big and help others do the same along the way. I also met someone early on in my career who was the … [Read more...] about Four Sure-Fire Ways To Become A Value Creator In Your Business Or Community

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Areas in the Northeast could break cold temperature records this weekend as an “extremely dangerous” cold front moves through New York and New England, bringing temperatures into the single digits, with wind chills as low as minus 65 degrees in some areas. Key Facts Forecasters with the National Weather Service (NWS) predict temperatures will drop between 15 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit below average in the Northeast, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley region and the upper Mississippi Valley. The wind chill—how cold the temperature feels when wind is taken into effect—around Portland, Maine , is expected to drop into the minus 40s and as low as 50 below zero, as a “bitter cold air mass” could bring “truly dangerous wind chill values” to their lowest point in “20 or 30 years,” the NWS warns.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes many medical testing services businesses have been diversifying and bringing to market new products aimed at the growing health and wellbeing market. For example, blood and DNA testing and screening services. The VAT status of these new offerings is not always clear and recent VAT case-law, and commentary issued by HMRC, leaves some grey areas for interpretation, with risks for tax compliance. One of the considerations when innovating and developing new products is the question of whether or not the contemplated supplies fall under the VAT exemption for medical care. As with all exceptions to standard rating, the medical care exemption is applied narrowly and has a series of conditions that all have to be met. There is also a ‘cliff-edge’ in the impact between having to account for VAT (at the standard rate of 20% in the UK) and exempt treatment; the possible addition of 20% VAT either makes … [Read more...] about Medical Testing Services – Tax Considerations Of New Activities

Clinical psychologist and author Jordan Peterson on Wednesday predicted dire consequences will arise for hospitals that perform gender transition procedures on children. Peterson argued hospitals conducting sex reassignment surgeries on children will backfire because medical professionals do not properly evaluate youth who identify as transgender . He said the U.S. has not accepted “all hell’s going to break loose” in the near future. “They figured out, in the U.K., that the rates of transgender— transformation requests were skyrocketing,” he told podcaster Joe Rogan. “And even the people at the clinic knew that they were rushing people along the transformation pipeline way faster than they should’ve without proper clinical evaluation … We’re still where the U.K. was three or four years ago. We haven’t woken up to the fact that all hell’s going to break loose on this front.” “It’s absolutely appalling,” he continued. Peterson argued 90% of children who identify as … [Read more...] about ‘All Hell’s Going To Break Loose’: Jordan Peterson Predicts Dire Consequences For Hospitals Transitioning Children

The budget managed to keep the focus intact on infrastructure, long-term capacity building, and much-needed tweaks to the taxation framework to optimise tax mobilisation. Given the needs of the Indian economy and the government’s previously outlined economic vision for the next 25 years, expectations were indeed high from Budget 2023. However, there were other realistic aspects like the lingering fiscal impact of COVID-19 relief measures, persisting global inflation in the last few quarters, rising interest rates and slowing economic growth, that kept the expectations in check. In such a situation, the Budget presented by the Finance Minister successfully tread the tightrope and checks all the right boxes. Most importantly, the Budget has affirmed the government’s resolve to stay on the fiscal consolidation course. Other than maintaining macroeconomic stability by operating within means, the budget managed to keep the focus intact on infrastructure, long-term capacity building, … [Read more...] about Tax changes in Budget 2023 to boost consumption & savings
