Ideas for Small Business Succession Planning

It can be hard to build up your own business, but it can be harder to sell it for what it’s worth. In fact, only around three in 10 family-owned businesses survive for the next generation. Whether family-owned or in a partnership of non-family owners, business succession is no easy feat. Succession Planning It is very important to have a succession plan, even if the business is fairly new. That’s because it gives heirs a roadmap for what to do if the owner dies unexpectedly. The first step is to figure out who you want to run the business after you. If you want to pass it on to one or more family members, be sure to ask if they’d like to own it. Note that the family route may need to be considered a year or more before the transfer to ensure the successive owner has time to learn the ropes. If you decide to sell the business to a third party, consider if you want to sell it outright or retain partial ownership and continue to get a share of the profits. Also, think about whether or not you want to participate in running the business once ownership changes hands. Business Owner Partners In the case of a shared business, a succession plan can help clarify the intent of both owners and provide a legal path of succession if one owner dies. In a worst-case scenario, instead of the surviving partner taking the reins to run the business on his own, he may end up having to run it alongside the deceased owner’s spouse, who might not possess the skills, experience, or proclivity for the business. Or maybe the surviving spouse decides not to sell the business but receive a share of the profits without doing any work.…

How to Save Money with the Half Rule

What if you could lower your grocery bill without giving up the things you love, fight inflation, and have some money left at the end of the month? Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. It’s the Half Rule. This means cutting the amount of product you use in half and seeing what happens. Truth is, most of us probably use too much of the things we love. Here are several reasons why: Manufacturers often ask you to use more of the product than you need. You’ve probably gotten used to using a certain amount of a product; And finally, product inflation. Specifically, you might think that if you get pleasure out of something, you might need to use more of it. For instance, why get a tall vanilla latte when you can get a grande, right? But ask yourself: Is it really that much better? To this end, here are some things you can easily use half of and never miss the other half: Shampoo. Try using half the amount and adding more water, especially if it’s concentrated. Laundry detergent. Try a half cup. A little goes a long way, especially if it’s a small load. Dryer sheets. These are so easy to tear in half. Cooking oil. Use an oil mister instead of pouring it into your pan or skillet.   Restaurant meals. Eat half or a third and save the rest for another meal. Or better yet, split a meal with your partner, friend or work colleague. Bonus: you’ll also save calories. Bagels. Just eat half! Save the other half for your next snack or breakfast. Starbucks order. Try a tall. Or if you get a vente, try a grande. Give it a whirl. See what happens. Glass stovetop cleaner. If you use less, you might have…
