Preserving the legacy of successful business owners

Why do ethical business owners deserve to get paid well when selling a successful business?

There are untold reasons why successful business owners who want to sell ethically, deserve to get paid well.

Firstly, selling ethically means that you care about how well the new buyer is going to preserve your legacy. Meaning, you want to get paid well for selling your business, MOREOVER, you also want to ensure that your staff are looked after and the culture you have built over the years, along with your company name and location are maintained.

All too often, a trade buyer will do whatever it takes to maximise profitability from acquiring your business. This often includes “streamlining the business”, such as making redundancies, moving the offices to lower cost locations, increasing prices to customers and cutting corners on quality and service level to your customers.

Surely there is a better way?

FLEXITARIAN; OR JUST A NORMAL DIET?

Flexitarian is a word which has only recently appeared in our day-to-day vocabulary but one which seems to be trending in the ever-developing world of people’s dietary needs…

But what does it really mean?

The Oxford dictionary definition is “A person who has a primarily vegetarian diet but occasionally eats meat and fish”. I don’t know about you but this to me appears to be describing what we would call a good old fashioned “balanced diet”, but we have somehow warranted the need to coin a title for it. Why so?

In a market where the extreme is becoming more popular, and restaurants are becoming more and more niche in their menus, it’s hard to keep up with what, how much and how far operators should be going to cater for all everyone’s requirements. It’s a veritable minefield of can and can’t eat, and the worry is that too little or too much might alienate or offend certain foodie types. Which of course no restauranteur wants to do.

I like the idea of this Flexitarian creature, a casual vegetarian who looks for the benefits of a sustainable yet well rounded diet where nothing it off limits but everything is viewed in moderation. It feels inclusive and surely a win win for all those involved?

Why not look to become inclusive all year round, and this Flexitarian ethos is what we’re going to focus on in 2022. Living life in balance sounds like a mantra that we could happily stick to.

WHY RENT GUARANTEE IS IMPORTANT!

As a landlord you should be investing in a rent guarantee insurance. The benefit outweighs the costs and give you complete peace of mind.

At Move On, we strongly recommend this to all our landlords and if your agent cannot o er this to you, then perhaps the tenant hasn’t passed the necessary referencing?

• NO EXCESS

• RENT PAID ONCE TENANT IS ONE MONTH IN ARREARS

• RENT PAID UNTIL THE TENANT VACATES

• ALL COURT COSTS PAID

• ALL LEGAL COSTS FOR SOLICITOR PAID

As an agent, we do not have a crystal ball into the future. A tenant can pass all the necessary referencing, but their situation can change - we only have to look at Covid recently to know, life is unpredictable.

With the cost of living and energy bills going up, this can have an impact on your tenants outgoings.

Costs vary for the insurance, but typically they are between £300 and £400 per annum - a lot less than losing month’s rent!

Having worked in the lettings industry for 40 years, owned Move On for 17 years and have a personal portfolio of properties. I have probably gone through most challenges and the systems I have put in place preempt so many losses that a lot of landlords’ face. That is why Move On are known locally as the lettings experts.
