Blueneck Consulting - COVID 19 Business Update

Blueneck Consulting - COVID 19 Business Update

Today’s Government Announcement:  No new Federal support announcements today from our PM.   The focus today will be passing emergency measures that give the federal government broader powers to spend money, redirect economic activity and implement further restrictions.

 

Ontario and Quebec are locking down their provinces at the end of today, except for essential services.  ATTACHED IS A LIST OF ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES IN ONTARIO. On this list is every one of my clients’ business types are included.  Most businesses engaged or supplyingConstruction, Manufacturing, Real Estate, Food, Healthcare and Transportation, among others, are all on the list.  The good news here is that if this becomes the template for other provinces, most of you will be able to continue operations – but please do it SAFELY.https://open.alberta.ca/publications/covid-19-information-help-prevent-the-spread-poster


Right now, it is being left to provinces to decide on lock-down measures.   Alberta has the 4th largest population of covid-19 cases, but there seems to be no interest so far to lock down the province.   The Federal Government, however, is passing the Emergency Powers Act andcould intervene.  Most likely, for now, the Provinces are likely to be left to make local decisions and the Federal government will focus on economic stabilization spending and inter-provincial, international travel restrictions.   However, this can change quickly if cases start spiking quickly.


Financial support for your business, employees and clients:

Many of your businesses are now adapting daily business, and making additional preparations.  Below I’ve summarized programs to help ease the difficulty of reducing your workforce and other measures to conserve cash, which is critical over the coming months:


  • Help for your employees to conserve cash:
    • Income Tax owing can be deferred to Aug 31
    • Residential Utility Payments can be deferred for up to 90 days without being disconnected
    • Personal Mortgages and Loan Payments with Alberta credit unions and ATB can be requested to be deferred up to 6 months based on need.  Some national banks are doing the same thing, but also only based on need.
    • Emergency Isolation Payment for Albertans to have covid-19, returning from abroad or have been in contact with someone tested positive with covid-19 can get up to $1,146 until the Federal program is in place.  This is time limited till April 1.
    • Emergency Support for non-EI eligible Workers applies to any of your employees or their spouses are unable to work but cannot get EI.   If they have been asked to self-isolate because they have covid-19, suspected to have covid-19 or need to care for someone with covid-19, they can apply for $900 every two weeks for up to 15 weeks.  They can apply through the CRA MyAccount portal.
  • Reduce the pain of laying off employees by considering job-sharing program.   This allows employees to work part-time for you and get a partial top-up of EI.  If your business can stay open, this is a great way to drastically reduce your payroll and look after you valued staff.  However, this program takes 30 days to be approved, so you must get your application in immediately!  https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/work-sharing/apply.html


SUPPLY CHAIN CONSIDERATIONS

The US is expected to be the next epicentre of Covid-19 spread.  The US is in very bad shape to control this and the President is implying that he is willing to consider accepting high loss of life to keep the economy open.   If this happens, ANY SUPPLY COMING FROM THE US may be at risk.   Please review your US-based supply and monitor your individual situations on a daily basis.


However, China is starting to do phased re-opening of their economy and re-opening hospitals to the public.   It took less than 2 months of lock-down and isolating people.   Strict hygiene measures, quarantining the sick and social isolation/distancing have been the keys.   Please LEARN from this and take implementation of these measures in your work locations SERIOUSLY.  It is the best way to keep you working!

Here Is A New Listing That I Just Posted In Calgary, Calgary


Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary, Calgary.
Pizza is one of the most in demand Quick Service Restaurant operations out there at the moment, and this location checks all the boxes! The owner built this store with the intent to sell it, as they have other restaurant operations and they want to focus on those. This store is VERY stylishly built with the idea that a new owner could take the store and start building more locations or they could franchise the concept. The store is doing between $11,000 and $13,000 per week, with lots of growth potential. The store is 963 sqft, with 28 seats inside, in an area that is full of families with higher end average incomes. The menu is gourmet pizza, wings and pasta, all made from scratch, focusing on food quality and customer experience. This is a 7 day a week operation

This is an amazing opportunity for an experienced operator to buy an extremely successful sports pub in small town Alberta. If you like the small town lifestyle, then you need to take a hard look at this rare opportunity to buy a money maker. With 7800sqft of operational space that holds a full service restaurant and a pub with VLT's, the potential for this business is virtually unlimited. Serving great pub food has helped build a very strong base of regulars, a customer base that is made up of people of all ages. They also have a solid take out business as well. There is a seasonal patio, lots of parking and the operating hours are 7 days a week, from 11:30am to 2am. There is a good long term lease in place and there may also be potential to purchase the building.

Locations like this are few and far between, this is what you want if you want to be in the Pub/Bar business! Situated on a busy corner in one of Calgary's trendiest areas, this store is ready for someone to take it to the next level. It has a great bar and lots of seating, with room for a small live music setup if you want that. The patio is awesome, with the ability to extend into the parking lot for the summer season. It has a full kitchen and draft beer set up, and you can do a ghost kitchen out the back door if you want to add that revenue stream. Call for a tour of this sexy cool little pub!
