Five tips to Green a business and lower expenses

usinesses may want to “go Green” and improve their ecoefficiency for a variety of reasons. Lower costs may be one reason.

Industry best practices may be another. “Going Green” may also be a key selling point for customers.

1—Remember the Three Rs Reduce, reuse and recycle should be part of any company’s eco strategy. Being innovative about reducing and reusing waste will lower costs. In office environments, promote a less wasteful workplace by using waste paper as notepaper and supply durable cutlery and plates instead of disposables.

“Going green essentially means reducing waste – and reducing waste saves money,” says Nima Fotovat, general manager at Shandiz Natural Foods, a manufacturer of natural and organic snack bars based in Ontario. “It’s a win-win situation. Save the planet and save money.” The company uses renewable energy sources, recycled materials and describes their products as having “big flavours, small footprints”.

Here are five tips to help a business reduce its carbon footprint and save money:

businesssavvy

2—Reduce Energy Consumption

3—Adopt Green Technology

Businesses can easily save money by avoiding wasted energy from unused lighting, heating or equipment. Turning off lights and equipment when they’re not in use can have a significant impact. Make sure that all computers and equipment are turned off at the end of the day to keep energy costs and consumption down.

There are a number of technologies that can save a company money. Start with the easy things, like setting up energy-efficient modes on computers and switching to energy-efficient lighting. If this has already been done, bigger changes can be made, like buying energy-efficient equipment, purchasing alternative fuel vehicles or switching to solar or wind energy. These changes will cost more money up front, but can provide major savings in the long run.

4—Get Green Government Help You don’t have to go Green by yourself. There are various incentives and programs to help. As a first step, contact Canada Business Ontario, a free service from the federal and provincial governments. They can provide detailed information on a variety of business topics including a list of financial assistance programs and hiring incentives for businesses wanting to become energy and environmentally efficient. To access these services, you can call the Business Info Line at 1-888-745-8888 or visit www. canadabusiness.ca/ontario.

5—Get Eco-Efficient Creating more goods and services with fewer resources is the goal of eco-efficiency. While this means less waste and less harm to the planet, doing more with less can also give a company a competitive advantage. To help assess and improve an organization’s green efficiency, Industry Canada provides an eco-efficiency website (www.ic.gc.ca/eco-efficiency) with tools to help any business adopt and integrate ecoefficiency.

Whatever the reason for making your business more ecologically friendly, going green makes good business sense. NC

10 ways to reduce your tax bill

The holiday decorations are all packed away, the New Year’s resolutions made, and spring is around the corner. Before you know it, tax season will be here. Before you start filing your taxes, here are 10 ways that may help you reduce your tax bill and may even land you a refund. For individuals 1. Plan ahead – Make sure to gather your receipts and NETFILE code, register for My Account, and sign up for direct deposit before April 30. Submitting your income tax and benefit return before the tax-filing deadline means you can avoid having to pay late-filing penalties. 2. Tax-free savings account – A tax-free savings account (TFSA) is one great way to save money, since you don’t pay tax on any income you earn from investments in your TFSA. 3. Registered retirement savings plan – Any income you earn in a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is exempt from tax, as long as the funds stay in the plan. RRSPs help you save for your retirement and get a break at tax time too. 4. Public transit tax credit – If you or someone in your family is a regular user of public transit then you may be able to claim a non-refundable tax credit based on the cost of eligible transit passes. 5. Pension income splitting – If you are receiving income from a pension, you can split up to 50 per cent of eligible pension income with your spouse or common-law partner to reduce the taxes you pay.

6. Students – Are you still in school? Students can claim the tuition, education, and textbook amounts. Have you graduated recently? You may be eligible to claim the interest you paid on your student loans. 7. Child care expenses – For those who have children, you may be able to claim child care expenses that you or your spouse or common-law partner paid so that either of you could work, do research, or go to school. 8. Home buyer’s tax credit – If you’re a first-time home buyer you may be eligible to claim $5000 on the purchase of your new home, which can save you up to $750. For people who are self-employed 9. Hiring an apprentice – Did your business employ an apprentice? A salary paid to an employee registered in a prescribed trade in the first two years of his or her apprenticeship contract qualifies for a non-refundable tax credit for the employer. 10. Creating child care spaces – Did your business (which is not mainly a child care services business) create licensed child care spaces for the children of your employees? If so, you may be eligible for an investment tax credit for the child care spaces you created. More tips on how best to prepare your 2011 income tax and benefit return can be found online at www.cra.gc.ca/getready. NC

GTA commercial REALTORS report commercial market figures

oronto Real Estate Board Commercial Division Members leased 574,499 square feet of industrial space through the TorontoMLS system in November 2011. This result represented a small decline of two per cent compared to the November 2010 figure of 587,274 square feet. Over three quarters of the total leased space was accounted for by industrial properties.

The average lease rate for industrial properties was $5.97 per square foot net (calculated for transactions where pricing was disclosed). This figure was up by more than 12 per cent in comparison to the average of $5.31 cents reported for November 2010. “Businesses have had to come to terms with a less certain economic outlook this year. The ongoing financial crisis in Europe coupled with fiscal uncertainty south of the border likely prompted some firms to put their real estate investment decisions on hold,” said Commercial Division Chair Larry Purchase. “With this said, the return to growth in the Canadian economy in the third quarter may point to renewed growth in the leasing market moving forward. The marked improvement in the export sector in Q3 was especially positive for industrial concerns.” There were 41 industrial and commercial sales in November 2011 – down 28 per cent from 57 sales in November 2010. Industrial sales were down by almost 50 per cent. Commercial sales were up slightly in comparison to last year. For both industrial and commercial sales, the average selling price on a per square foot basis (calculated for transactions where pricing was disclosed) was more than double the averages reported for November 2010. “The composition of commercial and industrial sales can vary quite substantially from year to year. Compositional differences can include the geography of sales and the intended use of the properties in question. For this reason, year-over-year changes in average selling prices can be quite volatile,” added Purchase.

Small business optimism picks up the pace in December Hamilton

ccording to the latest survey data from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), small

business confidence climbed to 65.0 in December, almost a point and a half above its November level. “The Business Barometer index has historically hovered between 65 and 70 when the economy is expanding,” commented Ted Mallett, vice-president and chief economist for CFIB. Adding, “The return to ‘near normal’ is seen as good news for Canada’s economic performance, which had lately been constrained by uncertainties in foreign markets.”

Provincially speaking the East-West divide is clearly apparent. Business owners in Alberta (73.6) and Saskatchewan (72.2) are the most optimistic in the country, while BC is stable at 68.0. Optimism in Central Canada is very close to the national average, with Quebec businesses at 65.3, Manitoba firms at 64.8, and Ontario businesses slightly behind at 63.5. Confidence in Atlantic Canada, however, continues to lag. Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick are at an identical 59.8. While Nova Scotia remains the country’s least optimistic province at an index level of 55.6. The services sector is the most optimistic, led by the arts, information and recreation industry (72.0). The wholesale goods sector is also performing reasonably well, just shy of the 68 mark. “Although less robust, business confidence in the construction and manufacturing sectors turned upward in December to 60.6 and 63.6 respectively. Consumers, however, appeared to become more cautious in the month, sending the retail and hospitality sector indices down below 60,” said Mallett. At the same time, shortages of working capital appear to be slightly less of a concern to business owners in recent months.“However, after increasing through the past few years, concerns about shortages of qualified labour have fallen back as of late,” concluded Mallett. Measured on a scale between 0 and 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their businesses’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 75 when the economy is growing. The December 2011 findings are based on 900 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Findings are statistically accurate to +/- 3.3 per cent 19 times in 20.

As Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entrepreneurs. Established in 1971, CFIB takes direction from more than 108,000 members in every sector nationwide, giving independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of government and helping to grow the economy.

THE WISE INVESTOR The Real Estate Appraiser By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd. Hamilton

The general public is aware of the real estate appraiser being an integral part of the buying and selling of real estate. Most however are unaware of the scope of the appraiser, his qualifications, designations and his function. The following quote and descriptions are taken directly from an article written by the Ontario Association of the Appraisal Institute of Canada and is titled “Professional Opinions – Trusted Values” AACI – (Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute) This designation is the highest level that can be attained. A “Masters Degree” is also available through the University of British Columbia. The AACI degree validates that the holder can conduct appraisals and consulting on a wide range of property including residential, commercial, investment, rural and industrial properties. CRA – (Canadian Residential Appraiser) This designation qualifies members in the appraisal field for valuation of individual undeveloped residential dwelling sites and dwellings containing not more than four self-contained units. Not all designated appraisers go into private practice. Some may pursue careers in corporations, government, agencies or lending institutions. Some fee appraisers specialize in areas such as shopping centres, heritage properties, gas stations, as well as hotels, in addition to many other property types. What they do… An OA-AIC (Ontario Association, Appraisal Institute of Canada) appraiser may be hired by a company, institution or private individual to perform a variety of property valuation duties, or simply to provide an independent and objective opinion on a given property. Your OA-AIC appraiser can help you with the following: • The current value of property being bought or sold -making sure that you are getting market value for a house, farm, office building, industrial facility, investment property, etc. • The future value of property being built • The value for mortgage of lending purposes • The value to assist in investment decisions • The value of assets • The value of property involved in a legal dispute • The verification of damage claims • The value to measure property tax assessments, capital gains and other taxes • The property value needed to determine compensation when property is expropriated • Consulting on industrial or residential complexes All with Value Added Benefits The cornerstone of an appraisal is knowledge, and experience, and at times, simply “a gut feel” for a particular property. An appraiser will put their years of training and knowledge to work for you by keeping up-to-date with current market trends and legal changes that may affect real estate values. Appraisers should be able to offer informed valuations so you can be assured of the worth of your property by combining their knowledge and expertise along with thorough investigation and research to deliver a professional opinion that you can trust. 8171452_0112

Top talent getting harder to find Canada’s small business owners say. Majority of small business owners (74 per cent) believe it is getting harder to find good employees; nearly half (46 per cent)

hen it comes to seeking out and securing

great staff, 69 per cent of Canadian small business owners are confident in their ability to attract and keep good employees; however, when hiring, one in 10 (11 per cent) of SBOs reported never finding the right person and 28 per cent had the job open for up to three months before finding the appropriate candidate.

The quarterly American Express Small Business Monitor reveals that almost three-quarters (74 per cent) believe it is getting harder to find good employees and 64 per cent of SBOs believe the demands of today’s job applicants exceed their qualifications. The majority (84 per cent) of small business owners do believe they keep their best and brightest employees, but fewer (64 per cent) say they consistently hire the best and brightest in their industry. In fact, only 11 per cent of respondents strongly agreed that they were able to do so. The results couldn’t be timelier. With much of the Baby Boomer generation set to retire, nearly half (46 per cent) of Canada’s small business owners anticipate a shortage of qualified job applicants in the coming years. A further 32 per cent are concerned about the impact this will have on their operations and 23 per cent expect to replace a significant proportion of their employees during this time frame. In fact, nearly two-fifths (39 per cent) of survey respondents believe it will be difficult to replace retiring employees. Despite this, seven in 10 (69 per cent) haven’t put a plan in place to deal with the impending issue, such as modifying employment practises or offering incentives to employees to stay on after retirement age. “Strong talent is the cornerstone of good business, especially small business, where the right people can mean the difference between a loyal customer and high turnover,” said Abhijeet Rege, Director of Small Business Services, American Express Canada. “But the survey also suggests that businesses should start looking to the future by thinking about the void that will be left as skilled workers start to exit these higher-level positions.” SBOs realize money isn’t everything While money is always a motivator in attracting and retaining employees, small business owners also understand that agile, flexible environments can better draw this generation’s bright minds. In fact, when asked about what incentives were most effective for small businesses looking to attract/retain staff, flexible hours were on equal footing as higher pay - with 72 per cent of respondents ranking each as effective. Other top effective attraction/retention perks include: having a dynamic business culture (62 per cent), offering share/stock options (61 per cent), and better health benefits (54 per cent). “We’ve seen changes in the way people are approaching their careers today, as people become more lifestyle-oriented they are seeking improved work-life rhythm,” said Rege. “The biggest draw of working for a small business is job independence and flexibility. And while money remains important, business owners realize it isn’t the only factor to attracting and retaining top talent.” Cont. on Pg 34

About the American Express Small Business Monitor

SBOs significantly more confident about current and future financial positions While small business benefits might be effective in drawing and keeping new hires, the owners themselves may still be reaping the greatest level of satisfaction. The Monitor found that SBOs have experienced a steady financial position over the last year and are optimistic for the future. While they remain risk adverse, 49 per cent of SBOs report their businesses’ current financial position is improving - a two-point increase over last quarter and a substantial 22-per-cent jump over 2010. In fact, the majority of small business owners (83 per cent) feel the rewards of running your own business outweigh the risks, with 45 per cent of them “strongly agreeing” with this statement – up 13 percentage points from last year.

“What was really exciting for us to see quarter over quarter is that the majority of business owners still believe - in turbulent economic times - that the rewards and opportunities of running their own business still outweigh the risks and challenges,” said Rege. “The stability owners experience has increased significantly in the past year and now, more than ever, business owners are looking to invest in the future of their operations.”

Between Oct. 21 and Oct. 29, 2011, Rogers Connect Market Research and Client Services, (RCMRACS) Rogers Publishing Limited, conducted an online study on behalf of American Express Small Business Services with 520 Canadian small business owners each employing between 2 and 100 people. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 4.3 per cent, 19 times out of 20. In order to ensure the results are representative of the entire population of small business owners in Canada, the data have been statistically weighted for small business by region according to Statistics Canada. Respondents were located across Canada and came from a variety of industries, including health, social services, education, tech, sales and skilled trades. Due to rounding, some results may add to over 100 per cent.

Canadian IPO market struggles to hit $2 billion in 2011: PwC Survey

he Canadian market for

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) nearly ground to

a halt in the fourth quarter of 2011 as the total IPO market struggled to peak at $2 billion for the year, which is the third lowest total for any

year since 2001 according to the annual PwC review of Greater Toronto Area

IPO activity. Only 2008 (57 issues for $700 million and 2009 (28 issues for $1.8 billion) were lower in the past decade. The PwC survey showed a single $25 million issue on the TSX in the fourth quarter and a reduction in activity on the TSX Venture exchange generated just $52 million from 10 new issues on all Canadian exchanges in the final three months of 2011. In the same period in 2010, 31 IPOs generated $1.2 billion in new equity. Despite a mid-year growth spurt, 2011 saw the total number and value of IPOs decline vs 2010. The 61 new issues on all Canadian exchanges in 2011 generated just over $2 billion compared to 73 IPOs worth more than $5.5 billion the previous year. The decline in activity on the TSX set the tone for the year: 15 new issues on the senior exchange accounted for $1.8 billion in new equity in 2011 compared to 25 IPOs worth $5.1 billion in 2010. “The European debt crisis weighed heavily on the final quarter of 2011,” says Dean Braunsteiner, PwC national IPO services leader. “The wild fluctuations in equity markets in

the last quarter caused by the European debt crisis made timing for any kind of IPO extraordinarily difficult. Finding a stable market to launch an IPO was nearly impossible in the last quarter and the results are a testament to that volatility.” Braunsteiner adds, “The European debt crisis was just the most recent in a catalogue of calamities that created a difficult market for IPOs in 2011. The natural disasters in Japan, political upheaval in countries like Egypt and Libya, congressional stalemate over borrowing in the U.S. and concerns over slowing growth in China and its impact on commodities all ganged up on the market. Given that the markets were ruled by crises in 2011, the results were not as bad as they might have been.” The outlook for 2012 depends on a final resolution of the European debt crisis. “If we can see an end to that in the first quarter, the IPO market has a chance to regain some stability in the last half of the year,” says Braunsteiner. “We know there are companies with IPOs ready to go. They just need some assurance of stability.” PwC has conducted its survey of the IPO market in Canada for more than 10 years. The reports are issued on a quarterly basis to provide information to the corporate sector, investors, the media and others that will help them put the market into better perspective. For the purposes of the survey, investment vehicles such as structured products are not considered IPOs because they do not represent new equity raised for operating companies.

CIBC Poll: Canadians start the new year feeling positive about their finances - but less so than a year ago Annual poll reveals confidence in achieving future financial goals remains high among Canadians, but some are missing out on opportunity to get advice on debt repayment

new CIBC

(TSX: CM) poll conducted by

Harris/Decima shows that

as Canadians start the New Year they are generally positive about their current financial situation, though poll results show a small decline in that positive view compared to one year ago. The poll also

Key findings of the poll include: • 64 per cent of Canadians say they feel positive about their current financial situation, a strong overall finding, but a decline of 5 per cent compared to CIBC poll results released in January 2011 • 72 per cent of Canadians say they are confident they will reach their future financial goals, unchanged from last year • Canadians are increasingly seeing the value in setting goals with 75 per cent saying it is more important today than it was five years ago to set financial goals for yourself • More Canadians are also taking their own advice and setting goals for the year with 60 per cent of respondents saying they generally set financial goals for themselves vs 51 per cent one year ago “Canadians are entering 2012 with a generally positive outlook on their finances, although they are somewhat less positive about their current financial situation than they were a year ago,” said Christina Kramer, Executive Vice President, Retail Distribution and Channel Strategy, CIBC. “It’s encouraging to see more Canadians recognizing the importance of setting financial goals for themselves, and a strong level of confidence in achieving those goals.”

value in setting financial

Across age groups, confidence in achieving financial goals was generally strong, although there is a declining trend with age. For example, among Canadians aged 18 to 34, 78 per cent say they are confident they will reach their financial goals, however Canadians nearer to retirement in ages 55 to 64 were less likely to be confident, at 68 per cent.

their goals.

They were also more likely to feel confident about reaching their future goals (77 per cent vs 69 per cent). “Discussing your financial goals with an advisor is an opportunity to take an integrated view of your overall financial situation today and lay out a realistic plan to achieve what matters to you in the coming years,” added Ms. Kramer. “One of the immediate benefits of that conversation is that you gain a better understanding of where you stand today and have a better sense of the steps you can take to start making progress towards the goals you’ve set for yourself.”

inthenews CIBC research released recently noted that paying down debt is the top financial priority for Canadians entering 2012, however many are missing the opportunity for financial advice to help them build a debt repayment strategy. Only seven per cent of Canadians think about debt management as the topic of a conversation with a financial advisor. “We know that debt management is the top priority among Canadians, and there’s clearly an opportunity for more Canadians to have a conversation with an advisor about how they can accelerate their debt repayment strategy in 2012,” added Ms. Kramer.

Build an online investment portfolio one step at a time

Online investors know that building a healthy portfolio takes time and careful consideration. The good news is: it doesn’t have to be complicated. While it’s important to set goals and to stay focused on them, experts in this field say it’s also important to periodically re-evaluate your investment strategy and portfolio. So where should you start? “Through research and discussions with our clients, we discovered the greatest demand was for guidance on portfolio management tools that enable them to monitor performance, along with long-term portfolio building techniques,” says Michael MacDonald, vice-president of strategy for RBC Direct Investing.“While many investors have benefited from portfolio management services through traditional advice based channels, now they can do the same thing online, on their own, using our portfolio management tools.” Through specialty websites like www.rbcdirectinvesting. com, individuals have access to an abundance of tools that provide self-directed investors with ideas and validation of their portfolio decisions. This includes easy online access to resources, education, and guidance to help investors make informed decisions.

While investors may not realize how much free information is available to them, MacDonald stresses that they should carefully evaluate what online resources and tools are most useful to them. Ideally, an online brokerage should provide tools and resources to help investors: • Define their long- and short-term goals and chart progress towards achieving their objectives; • Determine whether their portfolio has the appropriate asset mix to meet their investment objectives; • Assist with rebalancing from a current asset mix, towards the stated asset mix goal – and assess how changing these holdings affects the portfolio before making any decisions about buying or selling in the market; • Practice online investing: this might involve offering a mock account where individuals can buy and sell a wide range of investments and monitor performance over time, without any risk.

Prolonged period of deleveraging ahead says Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney

he world’s advanced economies are entering a prolonged period of deleveraging after several decades of accumulating debt, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said recently. “The direction may be clear, but the magnitude and abruptness of the process are not. It could be long and orderly or it could be sharp and chaotic.”

Eastern Ontario

“In general, the more that households and governments drive leverage, the less the productive capacity of the economy expands, and the less sustainable the overall debt burden ultimately is,” the Governor told a joint audience of the Empire Club of Canada and Canadian Club of Toronto. Excessive private debts usually end up in the public sector, he noted. “This means that the public debt of most advanced economies can be expected to rise above the 90 per cent threshold historically associated with slower economic growth,” the Governor said. Excesses of leverage are dangerous, in part because debt is a particularly inflexible form of financing. “Hard experience has made it clear that financial markets are inherently subject to cycles of boom and bust and cannot always be relied upon to get debt levels right. This is part of the rationale for micro- and macroprudential regulation,” he said. It is not just the stock of debt that matters, but who holds it. Heavy reliance on cross-border flows, particularly when they fund consumption, usually proves unsustainable.

To restore necessary competitiveness, debtor countries in Europe will have to adopt fiscal and structural reforms, which are the responsibility of citizens, firms and governments, Governor Carney noted. “Central banks can only bridge real adjustments; they can’t make the adjustments themselves.” In Canada, non-financial debt, or debt held outside the financial sector, increased over the past twenty years less than any other G-7 country. Nonetheless, the economy’s reliance on “debtfuelled household expenditures” must be reduced, and Canadian companies must invest in improving their productivity and access fast-growing emerging markets. “This would be good for Canadian companies and good for Canada,” he said. “Indeed, it is the only sustainable option available.” “Canada’s relative virtue throughout the debt super cycle affords us a privileged position now that the cycle has turned,” the Governor said. “Our strong position gives us a window of opportunity to make the adjustments needed to continue to prosper in a deleveraging world. But opportunities are only valuable if seized.” The Bank of Canada is doing its part by fulfilling its mandate to keep inflation low, stable and predictable so that Canadian households and firms can invest and plan for the future with confidence. It is also assisting the federal government in ensuring that Canada’s world-leading financial system will be there for Canadians in bad times as well as good and in pushing the G-20 Action Plan because it is in Canada’s interests.

RBC is forecasting that Ontario’s economy will grow by two per cent in 2011 and 2.3 per cent in 2012. “Barring any major slippage in the European sovereign debt crisis, Ontario’s economy is now on a path of modest growth that will extend into next year,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC.“Recently, we have seen further recovery in the manufacturing sector, thanks in large part to rising vehicle production where we see plenty of room for further gains going forward.”

Niagara Peninsula

The RBC report indicates that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier this year severely disrupted Ontario’s vehicle production. Encouragingly, the pace of auto production has trended higher since August and there was even a notable acceleration in November. Still, levels still remain below those at the beginning of 2011. Other Ontario manufacturing industries are also beginning to heat up - particularly machinery, primary metals, and fabricated metal products.

down several gears in recent months; the unemployment rate increased to 7.9 per cent by November. So far, there has been limited impact on consumer spending and demand for housing in the province - both have shown sustained, moderate increases in the second and third quarters of this year.

“As U.S. demand for Ontario goods strengthens, we expect manufacturing sales to continue to increase and contribute to an overall modest acceleration in provincial economic growth next year,” added Wright.

Since the early stages of the recovery, Ontario’s housing sector has been a key source of growth for the provincial economy. With little pent-up demand left and affordability deteriorating to levels that are now starting to pinch homebuyers, RBC expects that residential investment in the province will stabilize or, decrease slightly in the next year.

On the other hand, the provincial labour market has experienced some ups and downs this year. After starting off strong - with the creation of 110,000 net new jobs - employment in the province has shifted

“We believe that the job weakness will soon run its course,” said Wright. “However, any further deterioration could have a negative affect on a number of sectors in 2012, including the housing market.”

“A stable housing market paired with the end of fiscal infrastructure spending, will work to contain the acceleration of growth in Ontario’s economy next year,” added Wright.

The RBC Economics Provincial Outlook assesses the provinces according to economic growth, employment growth, unemployment rates, retail sales, housing starts and consumer price indices. The full report and provincial details are available online as of 8 a.m. ET today at rbc.com/economics/market/pdf/provfcst.pdf.

Mortgages

Watch out for those Collateral Mortgages! So what is a “collateral mortgage?” A collateral mortgage is a loan that is secured against property for an amount that is typically 100% or in excess of the value of the property rather than the amount of money actually borrowed. Typically a collateral mortgage is registered for a secured line of credit. Today many banks are offering what are thought to be regular mortgage loans when in reality they are collateral mortgages secured against the entire amount of equity in a property. A traditional mortgage lets you establish a set amount to be borrowed, the rate for the term chosen (e.g. 2.3% for 5 years) and the amortization so that the borrower will know exactly when the whole amount will be paid off and will also know what existing equity may be available in the property. If a borrower of a “traditional” mortgage wished to borrow more by using a second mortgage or registering a home equity line of credit, they could. However, a borrower of a “collateral mortgage” may not have this flexibility. This problem arises because the value of the bank’s “security” differs from that of what is actually lent. Several banks here in Canada are now going forward with this new approach. One notable culprit, TD Bank, is actually registering 125% of property value, even though that amount has not and never will be advanced to the borrower. Their objective is to have a greater chance of the client returning to the bank for more financing due to the fact that the bank would have secured their entire value of the borrower’s property. A transfer to a new bank is going to be more costly because a lawyer must always be involved. The borrower is often trapped! Another major issue that should be considered prior to stepping into a collateral mortgage involves the other debts the borrower may have. Under Canadian law a lender of a collateral mortgage may seize equity to cover other debt you have with the same lender. So, in essence, you are securing all of your loans, credit cards, lines, car loans, and overdrafts held with the lender of your collateral mortgage. Many borrowers are not even aware of what they’re getting into since bank sales representatives often conveniently fail to mention these details. When the bank sends the paper work to your lawyer you may find an unpleasant surprise and often at a time far too late to allow for arranging new financing. If you are looking to purchase a second home or an investment property, any collateral loans you have will be registered on your credit bureau. When you approach a new lender for a mortgage the lender will have to calculate you eligibility/approval based on what is registered on your property, not just the amount received from the lender. You look leveraged and now your ratios may not allow you to qualify for an approval on other purchases. If you are a real estate investor, this is suicide to you. Real estate investing is about flexibility and the last thing you want to do is limit your access to equity. TD isn’t the only bank to offer collateral mortgages. Credit unions also use them; HSBC and the Royal Bank have a “re advanceable mortgage,” which is a collateral mortgage. Scotiabank’s STEP is also a collateral mortgage. Most chartered banks will not accept “transfers” of collateral mortgages from other chartered banks so the borrower will have to pay larger fees to register a new conventional mortgage if the decision is made to move to a new lender. However, if you already have a mortgage with one of the lenders that register loans in this way, it would be wise to remove yourself as soon as possible in order to gain control over your debt! Collateral mortgages allow lenders to change the interest rate after closing. All a borrower has to do to trigger an increase in interest rate is miss a payment. Since the collateral mortgages are being registered with rates as high as prime + 10% (regardless of the rate stated on your original mortgage document), lenders will cover their potential losses by increasing the rates if they feel a potential default in the horizon. When looking for financing it is much better to have a broker working for you rather than putting your fate in the hands of a specific, branch level, bank mortgage specialist. It is the banks objective to keep you as a customer and only offer you an option from its limited selection of financing options. A mortgage broker/agent has access to several lenders that are not available at street level and can negotiate on your behalf, buy down rates, and confirm that the mortgage is best suited for you. Don’t let big banks tease you with these low rates and get caught in a trap. When something looks too good to be true it usually is.

Commercial lease agreements: Why landlords need lawyers

wnership of income-producing properties typically involves the negotiation of commercial leases with your tenant(s). This article explores a few of the considerations inherent in the negotiation and drafting of commercial lease agreements. Covering off all the bases

Commercial leases are complex documents and in this article we can only skim the surface. You need to speak to a lawyer who understands this area of law. There are fundamental components of the lease which a solicitor should prepare/review to ensure it meets your practical and commercial expectations. Principally, you will want rental payments defined and broken into “base rent” and “additional rent.” Base rent is your money. This is the amount used to determine net income. Additional rent represents all of the expenses that may be shared by the tenant or paid directly for utilities such as electricity, water and gas and things like maintenance insurance and realty taxes. If you are thinking of a net-net lease this is critical. Have you ensured the lease clearly defines how any increases in rent during the lease term are calculated?

14G COM

Aside from the financial considerations noted above, commercial leases must also cover off any “special” requirements to prevent confusion going forward; as an example, use clauses or renewal terms. Tenants typically prefer leases with renewal options. Tenants typically also desire the ability to “assign” their lease as this affords them flexibility to sell their business. Any such provisions should give you broad discretion to vet any prospective assignee to ensure they would be a prudent and reliable tenant. The lease should make sure the tenant will pay any legal and/ or administrative costs incurred on any renewal or assignment of the lease. Negotiation of the lease Landlords often have their standard form or “boiler-plate” commercial lease agreement which they present to prospective tenants for review prior to execution. Savvy tenants will typically have retained a lawyer to review the document and offer proposed amendments. In a scenario where there will be a back-and-forth in respect of the ultimate wording – and particularly where the prospective tenant has retained a lawyer – I highly recommend hiring a solicitor to quarterback the negotiations. From my practice I have found landlords all-too willing to cut out provisions which could severely compromise them in the interests of not losing the tenant. Conclusion It goes without saying that all warranties, representations and terms outlining the landlord/tenant relationship must be incorporated into the lease agreement. These documents can often run between 30 and 50 pages in length. It is far better for your commercial lease to be “too long” than “too short.” Sitting down with an experienced commercial lawyer to properly negotiate and draft your commercial lease at the front end can save you considerable aggravation down the line. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw. ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.
