Insurance for Your Business



Business insurance: broken down into a list of four types of insurance policies and briefly explained.

 

 

 

Property Insurance: Property insurance insures against loss or damage to the location of the business and its contents. It can also insure the property of others in your control when the loss occurs. Property insurance can be for a specific risk. For example, a fire insurance policy insures only against a fire loss to the location. A windstorm claim can be part for the property policy. A flood claim is a separate policy. The insured location can be owned, leased or rented. Premium rated per $100 of value. $300,000 build rate $.50 premium $1500.00

 

Liability Insurance: Liability insurance insures against liability legally imposed upon your business because of the negligence of the business or its employees. Put another way, it protects your business when the business is sued for negligence. Most landlords will want to be named as an Additional Insured on your liability. Premium rated per $1000 of exposure, this could be on payroll for construction or sales for non-construction. Restaurant with $650,000 in sales rated at $5.25/1000 premium $3412.50 per yr.

 

Workers Compensation: You will need to insure your employees against on-the-job injuries. In Florida you are required to carry Workers Compensation if you have 4 or more employees in a non-construction business. Any construction based business is required to carry Workers Compensation if there is one or more employees. Officers can be exempt from workers compensation but notification to be exempt must be completed. Rates are based on $100 gross payroll for full or part time employees. Restaurant class code 9082 rate $2.47 per $100 of
payroll. Annual payroll $150,000 premium $3705.00. One of the best programs for Workers Compensation is called pay as you go. Steve Chesnut has a Florida program for payroll and workers compensation where there is no money down and the payroll services is $1.50 per check. Call or email Steve for more info.

 

Commercial Auto: Your personal automobile policy does NOT cover vehicles used by your business. If your business uses vehicles or anything that is required to be titled by your state, then you need a commercial auto policy. Commercial auto coverage insures against property damage to vehicles and damage caused to others by those vehicles. Rated on year, make, model, and value of each vehicle. MVR of each drive will effect rate.

Types Of Business Ownership – Florida



One of the most important decisions when forming your business is the corporate structure.

 

 

Here’s a look at some of your options in the state of Florida:

 

Sole Proprietorship

If the business is privately owned, in the USA it is a Sole Proprietorship. In the majority of cases this is a single person, who owns and leads the business. Simultaneously the Sole Proprietorship is the most common corporation structure. This type has some downsides. The owner is absolutely liable with his assets. He or she is liable for taxation and it is not easy to receive money for this type of business. He or she also has to apply for a business license.

 

General Partnership

The partners lead this business together and all of the partners are absolutely liable for accounts payable. The General Partnership has more administration effort and is more cost-intensive. Also for this type of business you have to apply for a business license.

 

Limited Partnership

The Limited Partnership consists at least of 2 people, a General and a Limited Partner. The Limited Partner has supervision, available and limited. He can’t be part of the management and acts as an investor. The Limited Partner leads and is liable for the business. A shareholder contract has to be prepared for the forming of the business. Furthermore you have to request a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Secretary of State.

 

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

The Limited Liability Company is not accepted in all states but it is in Florida. The shareholders are personally liable for taxation and the accountability is limited to the business assets. For the forming of the business the filing documents have to be registered with the Secretary of State. At least two shareholders are required for a Limited Liability Company. Our accountant can inform you about tax benefits for other types of companies.

 

Corporation

The most used type of business for forming a company in the USA is the corporation. By presenting the Articles of Corporation to the Secretary of State, you can carry out the forming of the corporation quickly. Forming the company in Florida, the registered office is also in Florida. The corporate structures are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The Florida Corporation can carry out business in every state of the USA. All of the states require a registration. Foreign nationals can also form a Corporation in Florida. A registered agent (a person headquartered in Florida) has to be named to receive and deliver mail/documents.

 

Before you make a decision it is important to contact a tax consultant. We can connect you to our partners to make it easy for you to make the right decision.

 

This article doesn’t present any legal advice, but solely serves as general information.

 

Are you thinking about buying a business but have questions about the formation of your business entity? Would you like to know more about the pros and cons of the choices above? Ask us! Leave any questions or comments here and we would be happy to help.

10 Commandments For Buyers



 

 

Buying a business? Consider these commandments:

 

I.   Thou Shall Not Be Greedy!

Sellers deserve a fair price for the years they have spent developing the business.  Be prepared to pay for the goodwill of the business.

II.   Thou Shall Have A Good Reason For Buying!

Buying a business is hard work! It takes commitment! Spend time deciding why you want the responsibility of owning a business.

III.   Thou Shall Provide Background Information!

Be prepared with a resume and financial statement.  Remember, the seller will most likely be your banker and will want to know that you can run the business successfully.

IV.   Thou Shall Keep An Open Mind!

There are no perfect businesses.

V.    Thou Shall Keep In Mind Tax Benefits!

Remember tax benefits are realized from intangible as well as tangible assets

VI.     Thou Shall Offer A Reasonable Down Payment!

A low down payment indicates a lack of commitment. When sellers question commitment, serious negotiations are in jeopardy.

VII.     Thou Shall Realize Businesses Are Priced on Profits!

A business making huge profits with few assets could save you money later in capital outlay for expansion.

VIII.   Thou Shall Remember Time Is Of The Essence!

After all parties have agreed upon price and terms it is important to quickly proceed toward closing.

IX.     Thou Shall Be Prepared To Meet The Landlord!

Landlords usually have little to gain by cooperation.  Therefore, come to meetings armed with resume and financial statement.

X.       Thou Shall Avoid Surprises!

Disclose pertinent information early and avoid surprises that might destroy your credibility.

 

Are you thinking about buying a business and are curious about some of the commandments listed above? Would you like to know what types of businesses you could afford with the capital you have available? Please leave questions or comments here and we will be happy to help.

How Much Is My Business Worth?



How much can I get when I sell?

 

 

Every business owner wants to know the answer to that question.  The issue is how to arrive at an accurate amount that will provide your business with the best chance of being sold at the best price.  Our definition is based on reality:  The business is worth what someone is willing to pay for it provided it is an amount that you, the owner, will accept.  When selling a business, the challenge is to first determine a realistic price range.

 

Factors That Determine Value  The primary driver of a business’ worth is the amount of Owner Benefit (“OB”) it produces.  That is the amount you realize as the owner and the amount a buyer will expect to also make.  It is net profit plus certain expenses which are “added back” to the profit amount.  These add backs are tax benefits, owner personal benefits and certain other types of expenses.

 

Tax benefits consist of Depreciation and Amortization expenses (“paper only” expenses), business trips, a business vehicle and similar expenses. Personal benefits include health and life insurance as well as any other personal expenses charged to the business.  In addition, certain other expenses of a one-time (non-recurring) nature are also considered a benefit item. An example would be clean up expense from a broken water pipe.  When put together it is Profit + Tax Benefit Expenses + Personal Benefit Expenses + certain other Expenses = OB

 

Sold Business Databases

Once the OB is established, it, along with your business’ sales amounts, are used to research large databases of sold like businesses to determine how your business compares to them. The databases Infinity Business Brokers uses are not available to the public. The research produces OB and Sales multiples that are applied to your business.  For example, in Florida, Hair Salons are selling for 1.3 X Owner Benefit or 40% of Gross Sales.   Infinity Business Brokers also factors in any impact from the financial records, competition, industry trends, etc. to finally arrive at the expected price range.  (“Businesses sell for 2 times earnings” is a myth.  Every type of business sells at it own multiples!)

 

Price Reality Check

Once a potential asking price is established it must pass a reality check.  Business brokers call this check the “Acid Test”.

There must be sufficient OB to accomplish three things:

1.Provide the buyer’s required salary.
2.Provide for any debt service used to purchase the business.
3.Provide for an acceptable Return On Investment (ROI) on the cash paid.  This amount is usually 20%, which represents a five-year investment payoff.

 

For example, a business is asking $500,000.  A buyer will put 20% ($125,000) down and finance $375,000 at 6.5% for 20 years producing an annual debt service of $33,551.  He requires a salary of $100,000/year and wants a 20% ROI on his $125,000 cash ($25,000/year).  The OB must be at least ($100,000 + $33,551 + $25,000)  $158,551.

 

We can accurately establish the real and saleable worth of your business!

 

Would you like to know how much you might be able to get for your business? Are you curious what businesses like yours have recently sold for? Leave us any questions or comments here and we would be happy to help.
