With each new series of banknotes comes ever more sophisticated security features – but they’re only effective if you use them. Here are some of the security features of the latest series of Canadian currency.

November 18–December 30, 2023

the cash drawer or other secure container before handling the next transaction.

• Don’t make change for someone who is not making a purchase.

• Purchase a counterfeit bill detector and use it.

• Check for the security features mentioned above.

• Create a company policy on the acceptance of non-Canadian currency and post in a prominent place. Include the exchange rate that will be used.

On top of these security features to look for, you and your employees should practice good cash-handling habits

• Touch the large number, the shoulders of the large portrait, and the words ‘Bank of Canada’/‘Banque du Canada’ on the front of the bill. You should find they are raised to the touch.

• T ilt the top of the bill towards you and you should see sharp colour changes in the metallic building in the large transparent window.

• Look at the metallic portrait in the large window – it should match the large portrait on the front of the bill.

• Look at the numbers in and around the large window; they should match the value of the note and some will appear in reverse.

• Look at the frosted maple leaf window and check for the transparent outline.

November 18–December 30, 2023

• Note: the $20 bill is the most widely used and counterfeited banknote.

For a complete list of security features for polymer bills and other bank note series, visit the Bank of Canada website.

On top of these security features to look for, you and your employees should practice good cash-handling habits: •L eave currency on the cash register ledge or other secure area visible to the customer until the transaction is complete in order to avoid disputes over the amount being paid.

• Count change back to the customer to avoid mistakes.

• Make sure the cash or cheque from the transaction is placed in

• Have a company policy on rounding cash transactions due to the elimination of the penny and post in a prominent place.

• It is against the law to knowingly use a counterfeit bill or to keep one without a lawful reason. If you suspect a bill is counterfeit: • Politely explain your concerns to the customer and request another bill.

• Advise the customer to check the note with the local police.

• Notify the local police of a possible attempt to pass counterfeit money.

• Avoid putting yourself and your employees at risk.

• Be courteous to the customer; they may be an innocent victim, unaware the bill is suspicious.

Note: All suspected counterfeit bank notes (U.S. and Canadian) must be turned over to local police. CI Source: cfib-fcei.ca

The business of

businessto-business moving

BY CHUCK RESNICK

When it comes to commercial and office moves, we understand that business-to-business clients value three major things: That the job is completed on time as promised, on budget and with no disruption to their ‘business as usual.’ This may involve professional offices, retail stores, educational facilities or any other type of organization. The focus on budget and timing is understandable, and a good mover will work toward a seamless transition from point A to point B. THE FIRST THING to establish is a chain of communication.

Usually, this means interacting with a move co-ordinator for the client. Oftentimes that’s a role we will 14

play. On the mover’s side, someone should be set up as a consultant dedicated to the move. This professional works with the client co-ordinator to shepherd the logistics.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Each business-to-business move is different, and it’s up to the mover to determine what equipment is necessary. For example, the mover may need to use library carts, computer carts, elevator door jamb protectors, carpet protection and the like. They should also have special anti-static bubble wrap for computer equipment. Another element the coordinator handles is connecting with the appropriate commercial/office management company in order to find out about, and adhere to, rules and guidelines for elevator usage, truck parking, etc.

If the move calls for equipment or specialized expertise, the coordinator should arrange for it. An example would be tearing down cubicles, disconnecting computers November 18–December 30, 2023

Each business-tobusiness move is different, and it’s up to the mover to determine what equipment is necessary.

and electronics at the destination site and reassembling them. Spaceplanners are needed to accomplish this part of the move, especially when it comes to the cubicle set-up.

Interestingly, office moves are usually done with totes rather than boxes. There are a number of things that will need to be provided such as labels and security ties for the totes. Each person’s office items are transferred to the appropriate office at the destination. Good labelling helps to achieve successful residential moves, and with a business-to-business move, it takes on even greater importance. Another big help is to have floorplans of the offices at both ends of the move, which of course aids in labelling what goes where, as well as the November 18–December 30, 2023

order in which items are packed and taken off the truck.

All this is organized and orchestrated by the co-ordinators, and often a mover will do these moves afterhours and on weekends to minimize disruption during usual work hours. If the move has to be completed during work hours, it is best to limit employee participation as much as possible.

The goal is to make things as easy as possible on employees and customers.

In the end, the key to a successful business-to-business move is

developing a plan with clear and welldefined goals and having someone on each end who is responsible and accountable for the event. Those booking a commercial or office move will want to check into the moving company’s track record and look at any testimonials reflecting the work.

In any kind of move, everyone should be happy when the last box is put into place. The best way to ensure this level of satisfaction is to plan ahead, be organized and keep the lines of communication open.. CI

Tips on how to choose a group insurance plan for your small business

A well-designed group benefits plan can offer significant advantages for your employees and your business. It can help you attract and retain top talent, promote a healthy work environment and differentiate your business from your competitors.

“A group insurance plan can be a flexible and affordable way to enhance your total compensation package,” explains John Carinci, VP and head, operations and client experience, RBC Insurance. “Many Canadian employees identify their benefits plan as a key reason for remaining with their current employer.

In fact, given the choice, 59 per cent of employees would prefer group benefits over a 10 per cent 18

salary increase.” Before choosing a group insurance plan, consider the following three tips: • Define your objectives – To identify whether you need a basic plan or a comprehensive plan, first identify your primary purpose for implementing a benefits package. The plan you choose may be different depending on whether your goal is to attract new talent, retain existing employees, or simply offer basic coverage.

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

• Provide coverage your employees will use – Talk to your employees about their needs prior to selecting your group plan. By doing the research up front, you’ll avoid paying for features your employees won’t use, while also aligning the plan to your stated objectives.

• Choose a plan that is a good fit for you and your employees – A good benefits package provides a benchmark level of coverage that meets the needs of your employees, at a cost that you are comfortable with. Prepare a list of questions for your advisor to ensure you are delivering the best solution possible. CI For more information, visit rbcinsurance.com/groupbenefits November 18–December 30, 2023

Enhance your income property One in five Canadians rent their property for shortterm tenants or are considering doing so in the future. Designer Jo Alcorn provides tips on how to make your investment property stand out above the rest.

ADD PERSONALITY

Include a little individualized charm. It doesn’t need to be overly extravagant. Try including your favourite scented candle or a cozy throw.

CREATE AN INVITING SPACE

With short-term rentals, most people look for the comforts of a real home and not a sterile hotel room. Create an inviting space with accent pillows, styled shelves and artwork. All of this can be done on a budget and with non-breakable items. Make sure things are easily 20

washable so you can keep things feeling fresh between guests!

MINIMAL LOOK, MAXIMUM RETURN

As much as you want to make the space feel homey, you want to keep the space simple and (Netflix organizer) Marie Kondo approved!

This way your home always looks put together.

KEEPIN’ IT FRESH

Make your home stand out from the rest by keeping things fresh. Little touches like flowers or small plants

COMMERCIAL INVESTOR | Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

that require minimal maintenance, and fresh white linens and towels give that hotel clean feeling but with the comfort of home. It also looks great on camera when you’re staging the space.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to short-term rentals.

Since it’s the first thing a potential customer looks at, the quality of the photos is as important as the staging.

Photos that showcase natural lighting, your design personality and cleanliness, along with ensuring they are high enough resolution, are keys to coming out on top.

HOOK PEOPLE WITH WORDS

The description you create is as important as the photos. The description allows you to bring your space to life in a way photos cannot.

November 18–December 30, 2023

GREATER TORONTO AREA

And make sure your photos match your description; don’t talk about the spacious bedroom on the second floor if you don’t have accompanying imagery.

PROTECT YOUR HOME

The time and effort you put into creating a welcoming space goes a long way, but as a short-term rental host, you want to make sure you protect your home. Unless your policy clearly states that short-term rental activity is permitted, you may not be covered for short-term rental related losses. That’s where Duuo comes in – an on-demand, episodic insurance service designed to protect shortterm rental hosts and their homes.

With Duuo, you pay only for the days you want coverage, so you can rent securely and relax. Learn more at duuo.ca. CI

BY JACQUELINE MONETA JD WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

As a lawyer of 35-plus years, I have seen many small businesses flourish and many fail. The big question is why some succeed while others fall. Here are just a few comments that may not really be legal in nature, but certainly reflect my observations. In addition, some businesses succeed despite themselves and later, no one can figure out what went wrong. Here are some insights that may prove valuable.

1. Under-financed. Whether

it is a start-up or the purchase of an existing business, most new entrepreneurs spend far too much of their funds on sizzle, not steak. What does that mean? As an example, too much money is spent on oversupply of inventory, leasehold improvements or other capital investments that leave the business short of the money it needs for marketing or cash flow until receivables turn over. Maintaining a cash reserve to carry the business through to success is critical.

2. Lack of knowledge. Many

people get into a business for which they have lack of training or knowledge. They think they can learn on the job. Wrong. Go intern. Work for a successful company and put in the time until you learn how it should work, what to look out for – and how to run the business.

3. The amazing idea. The one thing I have seen over and over again 24

is a client coming in with the idea that will change the world. He has the next pet rock, hoola hoop, slinky, iPod, etc.

There is a huge distance between an idea and fulfillment. Remember, a great idea does not make money – the execution and delivery does. In order to make the idea work, we need to develop a cohesive, coherent and practical business plan in writing.

The business plan will allow you to express the detail and direction necessary to make the idea work.

By the way, before an idea can be worked on, extensive market research is a critical factor.

4. The Lone Ranger. John Donne in the early 1600s said: “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” In other words, you need to recognize that every successful small business succeeds as a result of a team put together by the entrepreneur. If we try to do it alone, what is quickly discovered is not the

leader’s strength but his weakness.

Many failures come to roost when sales are exploding, market share growing and suddenly it falls apart because the back room is missing.

The entrepreneur brilliantly develops his business but loses because of faulty accounting or controls. We all need to recognize our strengths and find the right partner or staff to supplement our weakness.

5. Bad partners. Everything

is always good when it starts but when it becomes too successful or too tough, it usually breaks down.

Trust is huge, so be careful and choose wisely. Make sure you have the relationship in writing. Also, never do a deal where the risk is lopsided. Everyone must be in the same place.

6. Penny wise and pound foolish. Ok, so we can’t afford to

hire a lawyer to incorporate or advise.

We pass on an accountant. Hmmm, we’ll get one later. This attitude is deadly. Get your professionals at the beginning to ensure that your business is properly constituted; that your personal liability is not on the table; and that the structure is in place from the beginning to allow for growth and proper process.

Ok, that’s enough of this sort of thing. I hope this helps to make you think, explore and consider. Good luck, start your business and be successful. CI November 18–December 30, 2023
