Business Owner Update - Friday March 27, 2020

Business Owner Update - Friday March 27, 2020

Business Owner Update - Friday March 27, 2020


Today the Federal Government and Bank of Canada finally made key announcements to help small businesses:


  • Increased Payroll Subsidies up to 75% - This will be back-dated to March 15.  No link or details yet on the limitations or qualification. I will get them to you as soon as they are posted.  Here is the announcement https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1kvKpXdndQmKE
  • Government guaranteed, interest free small business loans up to $40,000 – this is a program where, if you go to your bank to borrow money to get through the next few months, the government of Canada will be the guarantor.   Under some circumstances (no details yet), 25% may become forgivable.
  • Bank of Canada drops Prime Rate to 0.25% - this makes the cost of borrowing as close to “free” as it gets.  This is the time for you to replace as much high-cost debt with new low-cost debt.


In addition, you get a deferral of GST remittances on top of all the other deferral of payment programs announced over the past 10 days.  You’ll have to pay your GST owing eventually, but consider the money is better in your pocket for the time being.


These will help those of you who will be able to find work to keep the doors open and if the Alberta Government doesn’t order a lockdown.  If you need to shut the doors, the cheap loans and payment deferrals will help you to weather the storm and re-open later.  


Let’s address the potential of a lock-down.  Yesterday, the Alberta government admitted it is preparing an essential services list. This is a prerequisite to doing a lockdown.  As I reported to you earlier this week, the Alberta list will be based on the Ontario essential services list, likely with more extensive leniency for the oil and gas sector (re-attached).   This is not something the Alberta Government wants to do, but only if covid19 gets out of control.    That number is much higher than we are now (check my website if you like numbers).  However, politics are politics and we still might see one.  


If the government imposes one, my forecast is that we will need to see case numbers trending up significantly (i.e. additional cases each day are more than the additional cased from the day before) for 2-3 more days in a row and the Canadian Emergency Response Benefits become available so the additional layoffs get paid by the Feds, not the Province (i.e. April 6).  I’ll be keeping watch over these numbers for you. 


For you convenience, here is new link summarizing all the Federal program announcements (not yet updated from today). https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/economic-response-plan.html


Let’s do everything we can in our workplaces, with our employees, customers and suppliers to plank this outbreak so we can keep businesses open and everyone working!

**The address is not correct for confidentiality reasons** Surrounded by Commercial Businesses and Residential neighbourhoods and located on one of Calgary’s busiest roadways, this is a great opportunity for a young, aggressive business owner to take this store to the next level. Lots of room for pool tables, games, karaoke and live music, there are limitless possibilities. The VLT’s provide solid, passive income for you along with the Food & Beverage sales.

I am proud to announce another Sale at 1019 8 STREET SW in Calgary.

Perfect Location For a QSR Shop

A perfect location for someone looking to start up a small Quick Service Restaurant in Calgary's very vibrant Beltline District. All the heavy lifting is done, just bring your concept and getting up and running in a very short amount of time.

There is lots of equipment left in the space including walk in refrigeration, lots of room for prep, coolers for drinks and take away meals. You would be up and running for 1/4 of the cost of building from scratch.

Please be aware that there is no kitchen venting in the space and it would be cost prohibitive to try and install it.

Call me for a tour of this great opportunity.

Here is a great opportunity for a First Time Buyer or Investor!

This is a nice little one bedroom apartment in an Adult / No Smoking / No Pet Building. It is on the main or upper level with a nice little balcony that is big enough for a small BBQ and a couple of chairs. The interior is comfortable with a living room with a small eating area and a nice size kitchen. The bedroom easily fits a queen bed or a king if you push it. The bathroom is nice and clean with a 4pc set up. The condo fees include Heat, Water & Gas and the Electricity is separately metered.

The building is self managed to keep the condo fee's down, and it works well. The Current Tenant would be willing to stay, and they take very good care of the unit. Make sure to look at the virtual tour to get a good feel for the unit.
