LATEST STORIES For Today's News From Around the Web..

Covid 19 Payroll Subsidy Info

Covid 19 Payroll Subsidy Info
For employers, we are getting more detail on the payroll subsidy:
https://www.singleton.com/2020/03/covid-19-the-canada-emergency-wage-subsidy/
  • $847 per employee per week or 75% of up to $58,700 salary, whichever is less
  • Still retroactive to March 15 (so far)
  • Expectation is that you don’t cut employee wages
  • Business must demonstrate/prove a minimum revenue loss of 30%
  • Federal government will be introducing severe penalties for abuse of the program
  • Application process expected to be announced within the next 2 weeks
  • No limit on business size

For those who were considering using the job-sharing option, this is now, for most businesses, a better option.


Next Steps:  I have started building detailed 90-day business financial plans for some of you.  This provides a specific list of actions based on your own financial P&L statements that includes estimating the impact of using the government programs and includes a list of other actions you can do to help your business weather the storm.  If any of you are interested in having this done for your business, contact me.

 

If any of you will need a business loan to survive a prolonged event, but would not otherwise qualify for a loan, there is money available from the government.  https://www.bdc.ca/en/pages/special-support.aspx.  


Small businesses with a payroll between $50K to $1M should look to the Canada Emergency Business Account https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2020/03/additional-support-for-canadian-businesses-from-the-economic-impact-of-covid-19.html  As described in my emails last week, this if interest-free, $40,000 where you can be forgiven up to $10,000 if you pay it back before the end of 2022.


Here is a description of the application process and the questions you will likely be asked https://www.krp.ca/lending-rules-for-bdc-covid-19-relief-program-take-shape


This is the last week you have to re-plan your businesses for the next 2-3 months to stay in front of the situation.  If you don’t know what you need to be doing and how much of it you need to be doing, please contact me.   I want to see you all survive this event as best as possible!


Next 2 weeks, the focus will need to shift to full-implementation of that plan and start looking for short-term business opportunities with customers who are less impacted by COVID-19.  This is a very tactical that looks a lot like war-time situation management.   Even with a plan, the situation going forward will be fluid (some good, some bad).


Later in April,  your planning will need to focus on re-positioning your businesses to be ready to sling-shot out of this event! 

 

Please continue to pay strict attention to all of the hygiene/safety recommendations and emotional/mental health issues discussed here over the past two weeks!   Let’s do everything we can to keep our employees, customers, suppliers an colleagues healthy so we can all get back to work faster!

Fully Fixtured QSR Restaurant in Marda Loop/Altadore! **JUST SELLING THE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, NAME AND CONCEPT WILL BE REMOVED** Very seldom do you get a chance to buy a fully fixtured restaurant in a great neighbourhood for a price like this! The location is almost brand new and is set up with a fully vented kitchen, walk in cooler & freezer, interior seating and a patio. You could convert this to just about any concept you have in mind, it would be an easy renovation.

**The address is not correct for confidentiality reasons** The beauty of a true neighbourhood pub is that it’s where the locals go, where neighbours meet, the social hub of a community. This pub is the definition of this, and they don’t come along in NW Calgary very often. This location has a great community reputation, with a ton of regular clientele. It is surrounded by single family homes, parks and recreational areas, lots of seasonal activities that you could use to build business. There is a very well equipped kitchen, giving you the ability to pursue a strong culinary program. The room is wide open with good sight lines and lots of options for how you would like to lay out games and tables. There are also VLT’s that will help with passive income. Please call to discuss this location in more details and get the due diligence package.
