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...

COVID 19 - The Emerging "Stress Factor"

In talking to many of you this week, the number one emerging issue is stress.   The rapid rate of change being imposed on us, our employees, suppliers and customers is unprecedented.  The uncertainty regarding our health, both physical and financial, stemming from a dangerous virus racing around the globe is overwhelming many people.


The result is often emotional – anxiety, fear, and depression.  This in turn impacts morale and mental health, both yours and everyone you work with – the ones working on-site, the ones working remotely and the ones now on EI waiting to come back.


They need your leadership.  This is not the zombie apocalypse because we can do a lot to get this under control.  Four things to consider:


  1. Calgary and Edmonton are very different from New York or Milan who have 7.5-10,000 people per km2.  We have...

Top 5 Employer Options During The Coronavirus Pandemic

The past two weeks have been surreal. Many employees and employers are hanging on by a thread, mentally and financially. Many employees worry if they will have jobs or receive enough hours to pay their bills. Employers are being forced to close, or scale back their services, all the while still having to pay their rent, taxes, and payroll, while the market for many services is simply on hold. What can employers do to keep their head above water, while still trying to do the right thing by their employees? There are now some options.


1.   COVID-19 Leave of Absence (Alberta Employment Standards Code):

Unpaid 14 day leave of absence due to Quarantine. Contact me to discuss as the Government has been quite particular as to who qualifies for this leave of absence. 


2.   EI Sickness Benefits (Employment Insurance Act):

An employee can apply for EI Sickness Benefits for up...

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 2006 34 AVENUE SW in Calgary.
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.

Located on at a very busy intersection in North Calgary, this store is surrounded by both Residential housing and Commercial businesses. There are several schools nearby as well that you could do special orders for. The kitchen is well equipped and could be expanded to offer a wider variety of menu items. There is a full basement that is not being utilized right now, which could be used as part of a larger “Ghost Kitchen” style operation. There is lots of parking onsite that is only for the business, and the rent is VERY reasonable. Don’t miss out on this very unique location for your business.

Well Established Pub In The Heart Of The Red Mile Fully built out pubs located in the most active part of 17th Ave SW are very hard to come by, so don’t delay in reaching out. The space is a little over 3,000 sqft with 150 seats (+/-) with what I would consider very favourable market rent for the area. The walk by traffic is VERY strong and the street profile is excellent. There is a full kitchen capable of serving a fully diverse menu, so you could turn this into virtually any type of establishment you could imagine. Specific details are available once you have signed an NDA. **LOCATION MAPPING IS NOT CORRECT FOR CONFIDENTIALITY REASONS**
