Is there a "Perfect Storm" for advisors/consultants, loan brokers?

 


I'm sure you know that businesses, large and small, are abandoning ship every day. The news can barely keep up with announcing the closures. You come home from work every night to this, "Did you hear? So and so has just thrown in the towel." Incredibly sad ... and the improvement keeps getting stalled out.

How can you assist in help stemming this tide and help businesses survive?

This is a call to action for those who want to create significant income while helping others. It is the perfect time, and businesses need your help today.

For sixteen years, Growth Management Group (GMG) has provided tax incentive studies to successfully reignite businesses of every imaginable genre, from "mom and pop" to Fortune 500. Frequently, these companies' accountants or CPAs were unaware or afraid to deploy these studies. IMHO, these "professionals" have deprived those organizations of the tax credits the government has purposely set aside to help those very businesses, billions of dollars allocated.

GMG is currently engaged in significant marketing outreach to your businessess. This is an incredible opportunity. The "relief" is right there; black and white, staring directly at the client.

You have a simple task: contact those companies. Ensure they see GMG's correspondence, and ensure they click those links, which will take them directly to their Feasibility Study where they can engage on the spot. It is an easy call to make, even to a prospect you hardly know; "Hi John, I'm just calling as I wanted to be sure you saw an email from Growth Management in the last couple of days. It could be incredibly beneficial to you right now. If you haven't seen it, please contact me right away. Here's my cell number ..."  [Read the numbers slowly and distinctly JUST ONCE if you're leaving a voicemail.]

Cost Segregation is, by far, the fastest payout program I know of within our Advisor world and one of the most beneficial programs for our clients. It can create instant tax relief.

Get on the phone, send an email, send a text, do it right now. You can find templates in your Advisor Portal. Help society, help your situation.

What is Cash Flow




Think of cash flow as the blood running through the arteries of your small business. You use it to do those important things that keeps everything moving like buying stock, covering expenses and paying staff.

Basically, this is one of the best bellwethers for your small business. It shows the money that your small business has in the pot after paying out all the different debts and draws on your money. Cash flow gives you a good idea if you’re in a position to expand.

Cash Flow or what is commonly referred to as Working Capital is the heart of any business.

Without it a business cannot survive.  Many small business owners make the mistake of spending without consideration for the future. For example, buying excess inventory that ties up cash in inventory versus having it readily available to meet short and long term obligations of the business.

Additionally, smaller businesses run the risk of losing employees, suppliers and facing interest and penalties as a result of poor cash management, so staying current on cash needs means balancing some of the other aspects of your business like tax payments, accounts receivable and inventory. That’s the best way to understand how much money you need in the system for each period.

Markets




Stocks slipped again with geopolitical tensions rising between the U.S. and China. Beijing responded to the U.S. shutting down the Chinese consulate in Houston by ordering the closure of the U.S. consulate in Chengdu, and jitters continued over the fallout from the coronavirus. Intel plunged after saying its development of a next-generation chip process would be delayed.

Ways restaurateurs are separating guests




Mannequins seated in alternate seats and outdoor dining greenhouses are among the imaginative ways restaurateurs are separating guests at a time of social distancing.

The use of mannequins and stuffed animals to ensure social distancing isn’t likely to become permanent, but has become a temporary fix for restaurants like The Inn at Little Washington—where mannequins donning 1940s garb occupy half the tables—and Maison Saigon in Bangkok, where stuffed pandas ensure people don’t sit too close together. And the plexiglass barriers some restaurants have installed between tables will likely disappear when COVID-19 is no longer deemed a threat.

The Truth About R&D



There are a growing number of US businesses that now qualify for research and development tax credits, but not many are taking advantage of it.

What makes your business eligible for these deductions? Any firm with QRE or Qualified Research Expenditures. 

Below is a list of some tasks that can be performed within an organization that would qualify for the R&D Tax Credit:

Manufacturing
Fabrication
Engineering
Software Development or Improvement
New Product & Process Development
Developing New Concepts or Technologies
Design - Layout, Schematics, AutoCAD
Prototyping or Modeling
Testing / Quality Assurance: ISA 900X, UL, Sigma Six, etc.
Integration of new machinery(CNC, SLA, SLE, etc) into existing process
Automating /Streamlining Internal Processes
Developing Tools, Molds, Dies
Developing or Applying for Patents

Many business owners (even smaller firms) are not aware that restrictions to qualifying for R&D are decreasing year after year. Technology has become part of every business (just the other day I discovered a small local feed store is changing ownership and the new owner will be buying new computers, creating inventory programs and selling online).

Do not visit this site unless you have a business in the US, or know someone who does. YourWotc.com

Does your US business use the internet, computers or tablets? If so, then you probably qualify for a R&D tax credit!

ICE? No dice!




After a brief but high-profile scuffle, the Trump administration yesterday backed down in its conflict with U.S. colleges and universities over a recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy. 

Last week, ICE said that international students on F-1 and M-1 visas would be barred from enrollment at U.S. colleges in the fall if their courses are exclusively online. In classic overachiever fashion, Harvard and MIT sued just two days later, arguing the policy pressured schools to resume in-person classes before it was safe to do so.

3 lessons from the oil crash for businesses.



The date of April 20, 2020, will go down in history as the 1st time the price of a barrel of oil crashed below zero. The price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, compounded by the unexpected impacts of coronavirus, sent the value of oil spiraling in mid-February.

What does all this mean for small and medium-sized businesses? 

* If, as a small or medium-sized business, you’re heavily invested in oil-related industries, now is a good time to diversify your portfolio.

* Consumer and business prices for oil-related products aren’t determined by the base price of a barrel of oil. There are other costs involved, including refining, distribution, packaging, etc. While slightly lower prices are likely, you shouldn’t count on pumping stations offering petrol for free just yet.

* Taxpayer-Backed Loans for SMBs Went to the Fossil Fuel Industry

So....

Good financial management is essential to small and medium businesses. Many companies will shut down as a result of what’s happened over the last few months. And an even greater number will struggle to get back on their feet. That's why it's important to cut costs with no upfront fees at  BusinessRefund.com

Know any grocery store owners?


We’ve been working with Grocery Stores capturing multiple tax credits. However, I wanted to make sure we connected as soon as possible to get your Work Opportunity Tax Credit Platform set up as this benefit can’t be done retroactively, like our others.
Most grocery stores are hiring at a higher volume due to this crisis, and WOTC is allowing them to capture a benefit they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.
It takes about 5 minutes to see if your store could benefit. Are you in front of a computer? Go here now.
