Global tech, security provider expands to Bridgeport BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

he city of Bridgeport officially welcomed its security technology provider A+ Technology and Security Solutions Inc. on July 12 in a crowded ribbon-cutting ceremony at the company’s first satellite office outside of its Bay Shore, N.Y. headquarters. The two have been working together since 2014 when the city tapped the company to develop a $2.65 million surveillance system that would allow it to reopen Pleasure Beach, monitor several parks and upgrade security systems across its municipal buildings and 40 public schools. The project also included the $1 million building of a cutting-edge

security operations command center in the city’s Margaret Morton Government Center. “Bridgeport is actually a leader in not just the region, but a leader in the nation right now as far as security technology,” said Jorge Garcia, director of the tech company’s New England operations. Garcia worked for the city for 21 years and was formerly the director of public facilities and construction management. He worked closely with A+ throughout the phases of the project. Company President David Antar said Bridgeport was the right place for the firm’s new 7,000-square-foot office at 1027 Fairfield Ave. given the city’s turnaround efforts and need for technology companies. » SECURITY, page 6

Co-working facilities booming around county BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

o-working — commonly defined as the use of an office or other working environment by people who are self-employed or working for different employers, wherein they often share equipment and

ideas — is an area growing exponentially. According to a new report by JLL, a professional services and investment management company based in Chicago, the number of members using coworking spaces globally has been steadily increasing year on year,

and is predicted to reach 1 million by 2018. Citing Deskmag’s 2015 Global Coworking Survey, the report found that 61 percent of co-working space providers are planning to expand their operations, while nearly 80 percent expect their number of members to increase in 2016. Not surprisingly, there are several spaces dedicated to co-working around Fairfield County, with Stamford being a particular hot spot. The self-defined “city that works” has over the past few years become a hub for web designers, software designers, engineers, graphic artists, startup founders

and other entrepreneurs, aided and abetted by the presence of The University of Connecticut Digital Media Center and the Stamford Innovation Center, a co-working space that opened in 2012 in the building that served as Stamford’s original town hall at 175 Atlantic St. Coming to Stamford in August is Serendipity Labs. Headquartered in Rye, N.Y., Serendipity — which also has locations in midtown Manhattan, Chicago and Ridgewood, N.J. — is in the midst of an expansion that will also include new facilities in Bethesda, Md. (September), Miami

(October), Houston (December) and Princeton, N.J. (early 2017). “One hundred is our milestone number,” said Serendipity Labs CEO John Arenas. “Right now we’re looking to open one a month.” Stamford was chosen, he said, “as a great anchor for the tristate area. It’s a very supportive market for economic development, and has been very successful in attracting companies — which of course is good for us.” At 700 Canal St. in Stamford’s Harbor Point district, Serendipity’s 13,000-square-foot » CO-WORKING, page 6

A talent for advice serves to launch a franchise serving seniors BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

fter several experiences helping family members through the difficult process of finding the right services and facilities to help aging loved ones, Paul and Susan Doyle decided to turn what was fast becoming a talent into a business and recently opened their own Fairfield County franchise of a national company, Oasis Senior Advisors. Their franchise has a mailing address at 1127 High Ridge Road in Stamford, but the couple largely operates the business from their home in Eastchester in Westchester County and in meetings at clients’ homes. “It became a family joke that we should do this for a living,” said Paul. But providing the right referrals for seniors in need is a business the couple takes seriously. Paul’s mother suffers from dementia and he lost his father in 2014 to a blood cancer that required repeated hospital stays and in-home and hospice care. “When families come to us they are generally in crisis,” said Susan. Many times adult children find themselves quickly searching for an assisted living center or other senior care services when a parent is being discharged from a hospital or suffering from rapidly developing frailty or cognitive impairment, she said Headquartered in Bonita Springs, Florida, Oasis also has franchises in Westchester County, New Jersey and Long Island, according to Paul Doyle. The company offers solutions for clients that range from referrals for assisted living centers or in-home care

to something as simple as a handyman to install a shower handle. The service is free to clients and their families and no placement fees are received for referrals to professional services, which can also include financial or legal advice for estate planning. To reduce the potential for bias in referrals and more accurately define the needs

and optimal placements for clients, Oasis’ approximately 50 national franchises use proprietary software that matches the client’s financial, medical, family and lifestyle profile with the varying strengths of different living centers. The sole employees of their Fairfield franchise, the Doyles meet with clients to evaluate their needs and tour prospective senior living centers with them. They generate revenue through placement fees from approximately 30 assisted living centers in their territory. “We look at what is best for the client culturally, medically,” said Paul. “We have confidence enough in the business model that the business side will take care of itself.” The Doyles, who invested less than $100,000 to open the business in May, said their enterprise is off to a good start, with a 90 percent conversion rate in turning tours by clients into placements. “I think we are the second fastest franchise to get a placement,” Paul said. He said he expects the business to hit sustainable numbers at the beginning of 2017. His wife and business partner said she is optimistic that the pipeline of aging baby boomers, combined with the “sandwich generation” of adults caught between caring for elder parents and raising their own family, will provide a stream

of business in the long term. Paul said their entrance into the senior care referral service has been warmly received by the industry in the county, which includes national companies such as Care Patrol and A Place for Mom. “The people in this business in Fairfield County have been remarkable,” he said. “By and large they get the idea of reciprocity. They realize we are all rowing in the same direction. We are not in competition with home-care folks or even Care Patrol and A Place for Mom. We are not fighting over the same people.” Both Doyles are transitioning from other careers to devote themselves fulltime to the franchise. Paul Doyle was a producer, showrunner and executive producer for 16 years at Bombo Sports & Entertainment, a film production company in New York City. Susan is wrapping up a career teaching preschool children at JCC of Mid-Westchester in Scarsdale. “It’s a people business,” Paul said. “It’s not the type of thing you can do parttime, you have to be all in.” “We become very close to our clients,” said Susan. “If something bad happens — they start to feel sick — it really pulls on your heart. We want the best for them and we want them to be safe and be happy and we want them to live their life.”

Danbury launches major marketing campaign to lure business, visitors BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ontinuing to develop downtown Danbury as an attractive site for businesses and visitors alike is the center of a new marketing campaign announced July 7 by CityCenter Danbury, a partnership that includes the city, property owners, businesses, nonprofits, cultural arts and others. Calling CityCenter “literally and figuratively the heart of downtown Danbury,” CityCenter Danbury Executive Director P.J. Prunty said the downtown district features “the lowest rental rates in the area” and “a job market that is the envy of the region and the state.” The marketing campaign will include a video featuring various Danbury personages — including Mayor Mark Boughton, Union Savings Bank employees, Western Connecticut State University staff, and members of the Danbury Titans ice hockey team — centered on the “We are downtown Danbury” message. The video, as well as still photographs, logos and other media were scheduled to start showing up July 11 on such online outlets as Google, YouTube, NBCUniversal and ABC News, Prunty said. A targeted Facebook campaign to lure small businesses, startups and entrepre-

neurs will also be part of the digital marketing blitz, designed to “increase the overall visibility of our marketing efforts,” he added. Boughton, who said the CityCenter efforts are “reaching critical mass,” noted that Danbury will also begin repairing and replacing sidewalks throughout the downtown, a project that will include repaving all of Ives Street with cobblestones. He added that the long-in-disrepair Hearthstone Castle in Tarrywine Park, originally built in 1895, will likely be torn down and replaced with a large garden. “We are standing in $75 million worth of investment in our downtown,” the mayor said, referring to the event’s site at One Kennedy Flats, a major addition to the downtown area that offers 365 market-rate apartments, where some construction is still ongoing. The mayor further noted that new Police Chief Patrick Ridenhour, formerly chief of police in Stratford, will work with the city to add foot patrols downtown to increase security and visibility of officers. Boughton concluded the event — also attended by the city’s business advocate Roger Palanzo and Tom Devine, chairman of the CityCenter board and owner of downtown’s Two Steps restaurant — by declaring, “Are we open for business or what?”

Upscale Chinese eatery Wuji launches Greenwich spot BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

fter opening two locations in the past 12 months in Westchester County, the MAAC Hospitality Group has brought Wuji, its organic, upscale Chinese food concept to Fairfield County. With previous locations in Scarsdale and Rye, the third location on 68 E. Putnam Ave. in Greenwich opened on July 9 and is the creation of restaurateur Jody Pennette, founder and CEO of the international high-end hospitality group CB5 Hospitality Consulting, and his business partner, fellow Greenwich resident Mahmoud Zahid. The new 76-seat location replaces Hunan Gourmet and defines itself with upscale decor and a dedication to local, organic, chemical-free and cooked-to-order cuisine as well as delivery service. The restaurant’s culinary and executive team includes chef Guang Zanghou, formerly of the now-closed China White in Greenwich; culinary director Peter How, the 2016 gold medal recipient at the Taiwan World Chef Championship and curator of the restaurant group’s Hong Kong chefs; and chef de cuisine Roger Luo, who worked

at the Golden Unicorn Restaurant in New York City’s Chinatown. Chef Josh Moulton, former service director of Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan, will manage the Greenwich location. MAAC has said in media releases that more Wuji locations could be opened this year in Fairfield County, including Stamford and Westport, as well as in Larchmont in Westchester County.

GUEST VIEW

BY WALTER RAQUET

A modest proposal to reform the U.S. government

overnment is too big and out of control. My solution, which I will outline in detail, is to run the federal government like a business, with a board of directors composed of Democratic, Republican and independent business executives and industry experts for every government agency. Every company has a board of directors that has oversight of the company’s activities. The federal government is really the largest company in the world and needs to be run like one. There is no effective oversight of the government agencies. They provide goods and services just like a business and should be run that way. What we have now is a bunch of politicians with little to no experience supervising all of the government agencies. Look at the mess we are in. We need change, the right kind of change. Every government agency should have a board of directors made up of seasoned business executives and eminent industry experts equally who either volunteer their services or receive modest compensation. The board would help steer the agency to better operations and efficiency in coordination with the cabinet secretary, appointed by the President. Let’s look at a hypothetical example with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. An article in the Fiscal Times from 2015 states that the Veterans Affairs secretary, Bob McDonald, himself a successful businessman and turnaround artist before entering the administration, says “his department is so cash-strapped that it’s struggling to accommodate the massive number of veterans seeking treatment.” Clearly his hands are tied. If he were the head of or member of a board of directors charged with cleaning things up, he could make a lot more progress. Certainly the federal agency entrusted to stretch tax dollars as far as they can go to get veterans the best medical care is not spending our tax dollars wisely. It’s not helping monetarily or, even worse, healthwise. According to the Fiscal Times story, McDonald has urged Capitol Hill to focus on the fact that the VA has 336 buildings across the country, covering about 10.5 million square feet, that are either sitting vacant or less than 50 percent occupied. He has called upon lawmakers to close or consolidate the facilities, but nothing has

been done. If this agency were run by a board of directors, the board would immediately think of closing or consolidating underutilized facilities to free up millions of dollars that could otherwise be used to pay more doctors and nurses to treat the backlog of patients at VA facilities across the country. Some in government, such as former presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have urged that the U.S. Department of Commerce be eliminated. That may or may not be the right thing to do, since the agency does do work that other agencies would need to pick up, but a board comprised of people like Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric; Michael Corbat, CEO of Citigroup; John Kotter of Harvard Business School and Larry Fink of Blackrock could determine that fairly quickly. They could offer a real plan for eliminating each and every wasteful regulation and resizing and refocusing the department in order to help businesses and create jobs. For the biggest of them all, the Department of Defense, the same logic holds. Let’s give real power to a board consisting of the likes of Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric; retired Gen. Colin Powell; Mitt Romney; retired Gen. David Petraeus; efficiency expert Michael Porter of Harvard and John Chambers of Cisco. They could and would scour every program and budget item and produce brutally honest reports and what’s working and what’s not. Would such a board put up with $900 hammers and multibillion-dollar aircraft the Air Force doesn’t want? I don’t think so. Would Jack Welch, known for firing the bottom 10 percent of his employees each year, tolerate poor performance? I think not. Meanwhile, the IRS fails to collect around $300 billion in money lost to tax fraud annually. For many of the past 10 years this amount has actually exceeded the total collected from corporations, according to the Tax Foundation. It is unimaginable that a business with a competent board of directors would fail to collect $300 billion in accounts receivable each year. The boards I propose would determine the purpose of every agency in each department and what regulations they control. Objectives of the boards would be as follows:

4 Week of July 18, 2016 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

A. How can those regulations be improved and streamlined? B. Are the services of the agency necessary? C. Are the services being provided in the most cost-effective manner? D. Can any of the work they provide be outsourced to the private sector on a more cost-effective basis? E. Is the compensation being paid to the agency employees competitive with the private sector? F. If the salary and benefits are not competitive, they should be adjusted immediately (either upward or downward). G. Are they using cost-effective technology? H. Do they have the proper controls in place to prevent fraud and waste? I. Is there proper accounting, financial and management reporting in place to evaluate the effectiveness of the agency? This country needs more common-sense businessmen and women involved in government. The concept is simple: Each board would apply the best and most efficient business practices to a failing and wasteful system. A lack of accountability in government is perpetuating inefficiency, harmful and needless regulations and strangling our businesses, with no real progress or repercussion. Democratic, Republican and independent business executives, really experts of all stripes, must unite and help shape our government operations. Only a board of directors made up of experienced business people can get this done. Our politicians have proven themselves inept.

SHELTON FLEX COMMERCIAL SPACE SELLS FOR $9.2M THE CANADIAN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE investment firm Avison Young has brokered the $9.2 million sale of an office and warehouse building at 100 Trap Falls Extension in Shelton. The deal for the 82,000-square-foot flex building represents the largest sale price per square foot in eastern Fairfield County since 2008, according to a press release by Avison Young. The property was purchased in 2013 by Cambridge Hanover, a New Canaan private real estate investment firm, for $3.32 million. The buyer in the recent deal was Haug 2002 Associates LLC, a New York family real estate firm that invests primarily in properties in the five boroughs and wanted to extend its portfolio into Connecticut, said Sean Cahill, principal and managing director of Avison Young’s Fairfield/ Westchester office. Haug purchased the property with 1031 Exchange funds, also known as a tax-deferred exchange. The industrial space was the former site of operations for W.E. Bassett Co., a maker of personal care products, before the business was bought by Pacific World Corp. in 2012, resulting in the shuttering of the 65-yearold company and loss of approximately 200 jobs. Avison Young was brought on by Hanover to fill the vacant industrial space, bringing it to 94 percent occupancy at the time of the recent sale. Tenants include Red Bull, Microphase, Comet North America and Option Care. Cahill said the sale is indicative of the strong demand for mixed industrial, commercial and research and developmentcapable office space. Cahill and an Avison Young team from its Fairfield/Westchester and New York City offices represented Hanover in the sale, including principal Jon Epstein, capital markets associate Alison Luisi and financial analyst Erik Edeen.

The landlord, RFR Realty LLC, was represented in-house in the transaction by portfolio manager Margaret Carlson, leasing director Steve Lash and Ed Wissell, property manager/construction. Publicly traded since 2014, Cara is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of pain therapeutics.

DANBURY, NORWALK HOSPITALS NOTED FOR TECH SAVVY TWO HOSPITALS IN THE WESTERN CONNECTICUT Health Network, Danbury and Norwalk, have made Hospitals & Health Networks’ 2016 list of the “most wired” hospitals and health systems in an annual survey recently released by the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum. The survey of more than 680 participants, representing more than 2,146 hospitals, examined how organizations are leveraging information technology to enhance performance for value-based health care in the areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management, quality and

safety and clinical integration, according to a release from Norwalk Hospital. According to the survey, hospitals are using technology to provide increased access to care and improved data management for patients as well as protecting themselves from cyberattacks. Here are some highlights of how technology is used: 53 percent interface electronic health record data with population health tools; 62 percent stratify patients according to risk; 51 percent aggregate data from patient encounters to create a community health record; 68 percent accept patient-generated data through a patient portal; 26 percent of Most Wired organizations offer e-visits through a mobile application; 81 percent of Most Wired hospitals use mobile applications to notify clinicians of sudden changes in patient conditions and correlated events such as falls or respiratory distress or failure; 61 percent use social media to provide support groups.

“Hospitals are breaking out of their traditional four walls and providing care where and when patients need it,” said Rick Pollack, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association. “These Most Wired hospitals exemplify this transformation by harnessing technology, engaging patients and offering services remotely. And, removing policy and other barriers to telehealth will allow even faster adoption of these amazing technologies.” According to Hospital & Health Networks, cybersecurity technology is also a major focus for hospitals following a spate of high-profile ransomware attacks this year as hackers infiltrated hospital networks and held patient data for ransom. More than 90 percent of surveyed hospitals use intrusiondetection systems, privacy audit systems and security-incident event management to detect patient privacy breaches, monitor for malicious activities and produce real-time analysis of security alerts and 84 percent conduct a third-party security audit annually to ensure that guidelines are followed. —Reece Alvarez, Kevin Zimmerman

Currently employing a staff of seven, Antar said the company aims to expand to a total of 20 employees this year. Bringing in business should not be a problem, Garcia said. “Our pipeline is super strong right now, we have a ton of clients,” he said. “People are calling us.” The company’s Bay Shore facility employs 85 people. Despite a relatively small staff and physical office presence, the company’s technology has a vast footprint. According to Antar and Garcia, A+ surveillance systems can be found from

the Royal Palace in Afghanistan and U.S. Embassy in Honduras to the city of San Jose in California, Fort Myers in Florida and throughout 1,000 buildings in the town of Islip, including MacArthur Airport. Its smart classroom and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) labs are in hundreds of school districts, particularly in New York where the company is the largest provider of digital video surveillance in school districts. The company has including 500 STEM labs in New York City schools as well as technology in 14 of the 23 State University of New York campuses and an array of higher education institutions. Antar puts a particular emphasis on the importance of STEM and has plans to bring more than jobs to the city with its education

products and initiatives. “The problem is the U.S. doesn’t compete well with the rest of the world. We only graduate one engineer for every 10 engineers that graduate overseas, so we are losing the technology battle,” he said. “What we are trying to do as an organization is to get kids excited about tech and engineering at an earlier age. We introduced our STEM labs into kindergarten, first, second and third grades." In addition to commitment to hire locally, Antar said the company will be drawing on local high school and college students for internships. “From there we hope to hire them and then we hope to do business with these schools,” he said. “It is a little bit of an ecosystem we’ve created.”

The partnership with Bridgeport has been ongoing with a recent housing project to allow automated door control as well as wireless video surveillance for Bridgeport’s public housing authority. Mayor Joseph Ganim announced at the ribbon cutting the company’s technology would play a role in the city’s new “war” on blight and illegal dumping. Garcia said A+ plans to further integrate its technology with the city to include traffic cameras and citywide surveillance. “The arrival of A+ Technology to Bridgeport is a very good day for our city,” Ganim said in a statement. “We’re glad they chose our community as the location to open this facility, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

location will include a work lounge, labcafe, private offices, team rooms and event space. “In addition to the shuttle service to the trains, there are hundreds of residential units being added,” Arenas said. “The redevelopment there has a lot of traction.” Also in Stamford is Workpoint, a 15,000-square-foot shared-office facility at 290 Harbor Drive on the Long Island Sound — 10 minutes from Interstate 95 and the Stamford train station. “We have million-dollar views here,” said Sheelah Quinn, sales/general manager, noting that Workpoint’s 1,000-square-foot multicamera HD production studio — used by such clients as CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg and by Charter Communications Chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge to announce his company’s acquisition of Time Warner Cable in May — helps differentiate it from its competitors. “There are a lot of Fortune 500 executives in Fairfield County,” Quinn said. “Instead of having to go to Englewood Cliffs (N.J., where CNBC is headquartered) or New York City, they can come here to do live interviews.” Taking a somewhat different tack is Comradity at 845 Canal St., where co-founder Katherine Kern prefers the term “shared workspace” to “co-working.” “Co-working is usually about people working in an open space,” Kern said. Although Comradity has a co-working space, it tends to focus on being the location for corporate offsite meetings and retreats, as well as offering smaller rooms that accommodate up to four people for private client or team meetings. Common to all such facilities is the concept of clients bouncing ideas off of each other, even if they do not necessarily work in the same industry. “It really makes for a collaborative envi-

ronment,” Quinn said. “Most of our members are people looking for new jobs or a second career path. They may feel a disconnect being at home and by themselves. Coming here they can trade ideas, get advice, share their skill sets.” “The people who join are usually at a point in their career where they can work remotely and be trusted by their company to stay productive,” said Arenas. “From a company point of view, they’re very much looking at strategic reasons to extend their real estate platform while lowering costs. The co-working option helps them remain competitive in attracting and retaining top talent.” “Companies are increasingly looking for new ways for employees to work together,” Kern said. “We’ve created a new interface, where if a company is having a strategic planning meeting here and are interested, we can introduce them to the people working here to see if their skills and expertise might be relevant to them.” Reporting similar activity is Maggie Gotterer, general manager at co-working firm B:Hive Bridgeport. “It’s becoming

increasingly common for people to work from home,” she said. “Sometimes they need that personal/professional divide … they just had a kid or there’s too much going on at home and Starbucks isn’t doing it as a place to meet clients. Here there’s low overhead, so if you’re a startup with just a couple of employees or it’s just yourself, you can have all this support and equipment without having to lay out for it all.” Most co-working spaces offer free Wi-Fi and internet, as well as whiteboards, printers, copiers, video conferencing abilities and so on — along with free coffee (and even, sometimes, wine and beer in the afternoon) and other amenities. Gotterer — who also goes by the title “queen bee” at B:Hive — said the Bridgeport firm’s 2,200-square-foot space at 285 Fairfield Ave. is “very flexible and adaptable to what our members are looking for. We try to be very responsive to their needs.” Both Comradity and Workpoint regularly schedule lectures, interactive presentations, art shows and other events to underscore the “community” aspect they strive to establish.

“We have a college professor who teaches acting,” Comradity’s Kern noted. “He’s come in and led improv exercises, which a lot of companies have found to be a great way to start a planning meeting.” Needless to say, all this support and material comes at a cost, usually requiring users to buy memberships. Most facilities offer “day passes” for as little as $20, with other arrangements priced accordingly. For example, at Workpoint one can rent an open workstation (first come, first served), assigned workstation or private office for the respective monthly prices of $300, $600 and $1,800 to $3,150. Serendipity Labs offers access to its entire network for $49 to $399 per month, depending on need. At the more casual B:Hive, one can mix with the other workers for $175 per month or $1,750 per year. All facilities generally offer conference rooms and similar spaces on an à la carte basis, depending on availability. “It’s all about having a place where you can grow your business with a lot less risk,” said Kern, “and be around other resources that allow you to grow.”

The Fleming Report Q2 2016: dealmaking rolls on

et me preface by saying that I focus on deals in the lower end of middle markets, those valued at $50 million and under, which is not coincidentally the majority of the U.S. deals by volume. Of the 12,880 U.S. deals completed in 2015, just over 10,000 were valued at $10 million and under, according to Statista.com. As a deal facilitator, I survey the market and look for indicators both from economic drivers as well as other findings from mergers and acquisitions leaders. Early this year, with volatility in the stock market and impending political uncertainties, there was widespread concern that deals would be put on the shelf. But the reality is that these factors have not prevented buyers from pursuing a business purchase. In fact, 75 percent of advisers included in the IBBA Market Pulse Survey indicated there was no impact from the instability of the stock market. The findings also showed that sellers did not feel a sense of urgency with the elections heating up in the news. Therefore, the key drivers are still working in favor of M&A: an aging popu-

can do so. Private equity groups, or PEGs, are still the most eager buyers, with huge amounts of “dry powder” — capital that has been raised but awaits being invested — although they are less optimistic than this time last year. Smaller strategic acquisitions are a big trend among all buyers who are looking to take advantage of opportunities over the next 12 months. While most industries are seeking to consolidate with these favorable conditions, technology as a sector continues to lead the way. Also, technology continues to disrupt and redefine both traditional business models as well as the dealmaking process, blurring lines between industries. As a sector, oil and gas and then health care are next in line in projected preference, although most industries are seeking to either acquire strategically or be acquired to take advantage of economies of scale. Another trend we are seeing is a recapitalization. In one common scenario, a business principal sees an exit on the horizon but wishes to grow the business in advance of a sale. He seeks to protect his employees and ideally wishes to grow or make

strategic acquisitions while positioning his company for a final exit as a bigger company. Private equity groups love to perform these transactions, as the business principal essentially sells a portion of the company, taking out the equivalent equity — always a good thing — but continues to run the company. The PEG offers resources, such as financial and human resources to facilitate growth. Whether buying or selling, growth is the optimal word with all those involved in the dealmaking process. Strategic buyers are looking for growth through acquiring, private equity groups are seeking add-on and tuck-in acquisitions to grow their platform investments and sellers who want to exit their business in the next several years are looking for growth in advance of a sale. With 2016 marching on, don’t expect much of a summer slowdown as most professionals and leaders in the M&A industry continue to have a large appetite for doing deals.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Summertime, and the working isn’t easy Last year, we should have maxed out August. Ended up being one of our lowest months because of vacations, one guy on light duty then didn’t come in, second guy struggling with shoulder problems. We were counting on this revenue and now we don’t have it. Can’t let that happen again this year. What should we do? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make a plan for what’s expected. It’s important to know how long each job will take. Weekly calendar adjustments are essential. Have a plan for making the last hour(s) of the day productive. Make time for downtime. Work with sales to maximize profits. Map out each work day in two-hour blocks. Plan to rotate staff as they’re needed. Schedule work in the same general location, and try not to have people running from one end of the county to the other during a single day. Figure out who is likely to do the best work, and who would be their backup. A central scheduler in the office that people report into throughout the day, can keep an overall picture of how all work is proceeding. Be realistic about the amount of time and resources needed to complete each job. Overestimating what can be accomplished will only serve to put everyone behind when estimates fail to deliver. Keep records of how long jobs take. Know who works quickly and who needs more time. Plan accordingly. Factor in the type of customer you’ll be dealing with. Someone who is going to micromanage the entire project will slow things down and it’s best to allow for that. Rarely does everything go completely according to plan. If you add 10 to 15 percent extra time to a job and you don’t need it, you can fill in by moving another job up. But if a job goes on too long, there’s a domino effect that disrupts everything else on the schedule. Meet with the team each week to discuss current and upcoming assignments. Find out who has challenges and who has open time. Keep an eye on jobs that are likely to run over, as those will cause disruption to projects that follow. At the same time, make sure that the right staff is going to each job,

that is, the most qualified staff to quickly do the work needed that day. Consider having a rotating team that travels from one project to another to help out. They can provide extra skills, or just help boost the productivity of a team on any given day by adding extra hands to a job. Ask people to hold off on vacations or limit the number of people who can be out when things are normally busiest. Put up a central planning calendar and allow

people to pick days off on a first-come, firstserved basis. Keep a list of jobs that can be done in one to two hours as fillers for the end of each day, like routine maintenance. Often maintenance calls lead to additional work that needs to be scheduled; the person doing the work can put in some overtime to finish up, or put it on the schedule for another day. Don’t let people get in the habit of quitting early, especially if they’re on salary. Make every minute of every hour productive and teach people about the relationship between billable hours and affording payroll. Whether it’s up-charging for the busiest days or discounting to fit in an extra piece of work on a slow day, sales can help with delivering profits if they know a bit more about what’s going on in the field.

Make sure that when things are busiest, sales is actively pursuing work for the next slow period. Don’t back off from bidding on work just because everyone is maxed out. The best time to look for work is when no one has time to do just that. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK? Try “HBR Guide to Project Management” by Harvard Business Review.

SPECIAL REPORT

MID-YEAR REVIEW:

LAW, BANKING, INVESTMENTS BY ROBERT L. FISHER, JR.

Are noncompete contracts enforceable?

ngoing concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy signal the likelihood that some companies will continue to shed jobs as they recalibrate to move forward — and that means a new wave of professionals will confront the effects of noncompete clauses. Employment contracts and separation agreements are prepared by employers and, not surprisingly, generally contain provisions intended to protect the employer and the employer’s business. Professionals who are joining or leaving a company are typically prohibited from disclosing the employer’s trade secrets, intellectual property, customer or client lists, product specifications and other information deemed proprietary. The reasonableness of such limitations isn’t difficult to understand or accept. However, most employment contracts also contain some form of a covenant prohibiting an employee from competing against the employer — even if the employee is retiring or resigning or is being fired. Wait a second: a mid- to upper-level manager who is resigning can’t improve his or her life by taking a better job with a direct competitor? Isn’t that how you succeed in

BRIEFLY

STUDY SAYS FAIRFIELD COUNTY UNDERSERVED BY FINANCIAL ADVISORS A NEW STUDY RANKS LOWER FAIRFIELD COUNTY and Hartford among the 10 markets nationally “most underserved” by financial advisor companies. Financial Advisor IQ published the Broadridge Financial Solutions study on July 11, comparing numbers of advisors in markets nationally against the number of wealthy families where they have offices. Florida has the three most underserved markets in Naples, Fort Myers and Sarasota, with Providence, R.I., Hartford and lower Fairfield County leading New England’s

the business world, by moving around to move up? Even more difficult for many to understand is how an employee whom a company devalues enough to fire can also be handcuffed by the terms of a typical noncompete clause. (Wouldn’t the employer want such an employee to go to a competitor, a cynic might wonder.) Nevertheless, a noncompete provision typically prohibits a former employee from going to work for another employer who is a competitor of the employer and usually prohibits the former employee from hiring other employees from his former employer. Some noncompete provisions preclude a former employee from starting his or her own business in competition with his former employer. The strict nature of noncompete clauses might seem unreasonable enough to suggest that their primary function must be to serve as a deterrent and that those willing to test the will of the former employer are unlikely to face action. However, that is not the case. There have been a number of lawsuits brought by employers against former employees who have allegedly violated noncompete provisions in their employment contracts.

Some noncompete provisions are upheld and some are found to be invalid. Recently, for example, a federal district court judge found a noncompete provision to be void and unenforceable because it was “unrestricted in geographical scope.” The provision was to be effective for two years and it would have prevented the former employee from working in his field anywhere in the world. The court’s decision emphasized that the noncompete provision would have prevented the former employee from pursuing his occupation for a period of time that was manifestly unfair and against public policy. When considering the reasonableness of a covenant not to compete, courts may consider: ■ The length of time the covenant will be in effect. ■ The geographical area within which the former employee is prohibited from working. ■ The fairness of protection to the employer. ■ The extent of the restraint on the former employee’s opportunity to pursue his occupation. ■ The extent of interference with the public’s interests.

Most employees in Connecticut don’t have contracts and are considered “at-will” employees, meaning that employers can terminate their employment for any nondiscriminatory reason at any time. For those employees who are subject to contractual noncompete clauses, every case is different. The nature of employment is a factor in the enforceability of a noncompete provision and when cases go to court, two key aspects under scrutiny are the time duration and geographic limitations imposed in the noncompete clause. The level of hardship imposed on an employee is a key test. If you are either an employer or employee about to be subject to an employment contract, we advise consulting with an attorney to evaluate the enforceability of the contract and its noncompete provisions.

ACCORDING TO VARIOUS NEWS OUTLETS, Xerox Corp. is in talks to acquire Chicago-based commercial printing firm RR Donnelley & Sons Co. Both companies have refused comment.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of July 18, 2016 11

BY NORMAN G. GRILL

Investors, start planning now for the NIIT

ear end may seem a long way off. But if you’re an investor, you’d be smart to start projecting your income for the rest of the year right now. Why? In a word, taxes — namely, the net investment income tax (NIIT).

CONFRONTING THE THRESHOLDS

The Affordable Care Act of 2010 created two additional taxes under Medicare to help offset the act’s costs. One was an additional 0.9 percent tax on wages and selfemployment income that exceed specified thresholds. For the purposes of this article, let’s focus on the other: the NIIT, a 3.8 percent tax on net investment income to the extent a taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds certain thresholds. Those thresholds are $200,000 for single filers and taxpayers filing as heads of household, $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately. For most people, MAGI is equal to AGI. One notable exception, though, is for certain U.S. citizens or residents who live abroad and have foreign earned income. Note that these thresholds may, in effect, impose a “marriage penalty” on certain couples by imposing the NIIT

where it wouldn’t apply if they were unmarried individuals.

DEFINING INCOME

“Investment income” can mean a variety of things. It includes, in general, gross income from interest, dividends, annuities, rents and royalties. The term can also apply to net capital gains. Also qualifying is trade or business income that is derived from either a “passive activity” under IRS rules or trading in financial instruments or commodities. Investment income doesn’t include distributions from IRAs, pensions, 401(k) plans or other qualified retirement plans — but distributions from these plans can trigger additional Medicare taxes on net investment income by increasing your MAGI.

MAKING THE RIGHT MOVES

Once your total investment income is determined, deductible investment expenses are subtracted to arrive at net investment income. There are, however, several potential strategies you can implement to reduce or eliminate the 3.8 percent tax on net investment income. First, you might execute a Roth conversion. If you have substantial balances in a

traditional IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan and you’re considering a Roth conversion, now may be the time to do it. While doing a conversion and increasing your 2016 income may mean that you’re subject to the NIIT this year, future distributions from the Roth IRA are excluded from MAGI, reducing your exposure to the 3.8 percent tax in those years. Remember, too, that the conversion amount will be included in your gross income this year and subject to tax, but not the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. Also keep in mind that you’ll have to wait the requisite five years after the conversion to distribute the converted funds or you’ll face a 10 percent penalty. If you have highly appreciated securities that you’d like to divest, consider the NIIT implications. Perhaps selling all at once this year is advisable because, even with the sale, you won’t be subject to the NIIT. Then again, waiting until next year, or selling some this year and some next year, may better reduce or avoid the NIIT. Whatever you decide, be mindful of the investment risk associated with holding an asset. Installment sales can also help mitigate the NIIT’s impact. For sales of appreciated

assets, consider using the installment method to spread the gain over several years. Depending on your situation, this may allow you to keep your MAGI below the threshold and avoid the 3.8 percent tax or at least minimize your exposure. Also look into harvesting losses. In years in which you recognize large capital gains, you might want to sell assets in which you have losses. You can use the losses to offset the gains, reducing your investment income and your MAGI.

MANAGING THE IMPACT

The good news is that because the threshold for the NIIT is based on MAGI, strategies that reduce your MAGI could also help you avoid or reduce NIIT liability. Making retirement plan contributions is one example. This has been a general discussion and is not intended as advice. Tax matters can be complex so seek the advice of a qualified professional before making decisions.

NYMC’s School of Health Sciences and Practice Takes New Approaches to Health Professionals Science

ew York Medical College’s (NYMC) School of Health Sciences and Practice (SHSP) brings health care to life by offering our students hands-on experiential training that complements our exceptional clinical and educational programs and allows students to see — first-hand — how they can impact and change lives. Upon graduation, this approach translates into health care professionals with the experience and confidence to hit the ground running in their work and careers. For example, our physical therapy and speech-language pathology graduates consistently achieve a 100 percent passing rate on their respective licensure examinations. Located on a lush 54-acre campus in Valhalla, N.Y., in Westchester County, our beautiful suburban campus is convenient to New York City, the Hudson Valley, Connecticut

and New Jersey, offering a richness of culture and activity, as well as prime access to clinical sites and health care organizations for SHSP’s practical training elements. Since NYMC’s founding in 1860, our school has been committed not only to educational excellence, scholarship and professionalism, but also to diversity, inclusion, humanism and service. Offering degrees in public health, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, biostatistics and epidemiology, as well as certificates in critical public health areas, SHSP’s focus is on educating and training our graduates so that they can change and improve health and health care in communities – locally, regionally and globally. “Opportunities abound for real-world experience and collaboration in all of our programs, along with the chance to do important research

S10 | COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES ADVERTORIAL RESOURCE GUIDE | JULY 18, 2016

that can lead to real change,” said SHSP Dean Robert W. Amler, M.D., M.B.A., in a recent welcome to new students. The SHSP speech-language pathology (SLP) program is one of the few medically oriented SLP programs in the country. In a variety of clinical settings, students treat medically compromised and fragile patients, working as part of interdisciplinary medical teams. As department Chairperson Kathleen Franklin, Ph.D., CCC-SLP explains, the program goes “beyond words” to assess and assist patients and their families. “Going ‘beyond words’ means students will learn the broader context of health, disease and disability in addition to the requisite clinical skills. Additionally, SHSP’s uniquely strong focus on public health is how our students develop an appreciation for their role in ensuring the communicative health of the population.”

SHSP’s doctor of physical therapy (D.P.T.) program offers problem-based learning, an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the medical science curriculum with clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Students learn, from the outset, to consider patients from a variety of perspectives, to see the whole patient. Department Chairman Michael Majsak, P.T., Ed.D., elaborates: “SHSP provides our students a perspective on physical therapy that does not occur in a traditional medical school environment. They learn state-of-the-art screening techniques for risk factors and early indicators of illness and how to design health and wellness programs. These skills complement those they learn for treating patients in acutecare settings, rehabilitation centers, home care and long-term care settings.” SHSP’s master’s program in Public Health (M.P.H.) offers important opportunities for students to engage with real-world public health challenges through practicum and capstone projects. SHSP, a pioneer in online learning, offers our traditional M.P.H. program (accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health) completely online as well. The online program features the same courses, taught by the same faculty, as our on-campus program. Supported by the school’s innovative e-Learning team, our online students love both the challenging coursework and the convenience of online learning. The Doctor of Public Health (Dr.P.H.) program uses the extraordinary complexity of the New York metropolitan area to examine the socioeconomic determinants of health and teach the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend the relationships between policies, regulations, market forces and ethics of health care delivery. Graduates of the Dr.P.H. program have the skills required to oversee the financing and organization of resources; manage and improve delivery and access to health care services; conduct research to examine health care delivery; pinpoint information and data required to support change; and to analyze, develop and execute policy that will improve health care outcomes. SHSP shares the NYMC campus with the School of Medicine, Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences and the Touro College of Dental Medicine, offering our students a lively and engaged health sciences community with vast extracurricular offerings that enhance our students’ education and interests. SHSP students also benefit by state-ofthe-art facilities and equipment, an extensive health sciences library as well as access to a breadth and depth of faculty experts.

LIU Graduate Degrees Key to Opportunity

he days of working for one company or even having one career for life are past. Equally long gone is the era when a successful career did not require higher education. Gearing up with a graduate degree before entering the workplace most often translates into a higher starting salary and increased opportunity. By the same token, shifting gears in mid-career is highly dependent upon the acquisition of new skills and credentials developed when pursuing a graduate degree. LIU Hudson, a local campus of Long Island University, with locations, in Westchester and West Point, provides up-todate graduate study for those seeking an advantage upon entering the workforce, as well as those undertaking a career change. Offering master’s degrees and advanced certificates leading to a variety of careers, LIU Hudson’s MBA and MPA degrees, for example, are paths to advancement in the corporate, not-for-profit and government spheres. The MPA is especially important for those interested in

driving policy decisions and improving communities. Both of these programs aim to endow candidates with vital skills for constantly evolving professional arenas. The MS. Ed. is required for state

employment in the burgeoning pharmaceutics and cosmetics fields. LIU Hudson supports successful workforce entry and advancement through, for example: Chamber of Commerce

“LIU PLACES GREAT EMPHASIS ON PERSONAL ATTENTION SOMETHING THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE EXTOLLED CONSISTENTLY. OUR FACULTY DOES ALL OF THE ADVISING BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REAL WORLD BEYOND THE IVORY TOWER.”

— DR. SYLVIA BLAKE

credentialing of teachers, school counselors and school psychologists, with the M.S. a requisite for marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors. Likewise, the MS in industrial pharmacy or cosmetic science provides the key to

Scholarships for MBA students (members of the Mahopac/Carmel Chamber of Commerce or the chambers of Orange County, New Rochelle, Yonkers and Mahwah, N. J.); through grants for students in the MPA, MBA or Mental Health Counseling

program who are employed by a not-forprofit organization in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Fairfield, Bronx, Bergen or Orange counties; and grants for students pursuing the MS. Ed. in teaching. Graduates of LIU Hudson hold significant positions in school districts, businesses, clinics, hospitals and public agencies. Dean and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Sylvia Blake explains that, “LIU places great emphasis on personal attention something that our students have extolled consistently. Our faculty does all of the advising because they are in the best position to know what is happening in the real world beyond the ivory tower. Whether the area of study is, business, health or public administration, the business of pharmaceutics and biotechnology, teaching, therapy or counseling with the CASAC track or crisis management, our faculty advise and guide, as well as teach. LIU Hudson is distinguished by those one-on-one relationships that can only flourish in the kind of nurturing environment that Long Island University has created in its regional campuses.”

McMahon Ford participated in Energize Connecticut’s Small Business Energy Advantage program, where technicians conduct a no-cost

facility energy audit and propose recommendations for improvement. Following the audit, McMahon Ford completed an interior and exterior high-efficiency lighting project that will save the company more than $13,000 annually in costs and more than 78,000 kilowatt-hours a year in savings.

Regulations, Taxes Challenge State’s Small Businesses

Does Temp Time Count Toward FMLA Eligibility??

State regulations, mandates, and taxes are the main challenges for Connecticut small businesses according to a new survey released today. CBIA’s 2016 Survey of Connecticut Small Businesses shows widespread concerns over threats to profitability and growth, with over 40% listing state government regulations, mandates, taxes, and costs as major issues.

words, “a swarm of them,” including unemployment and workers’ compensation.

If a person works at our facility for six months as a temp through a staffing agency, do those six months count toward the 12 months she has to work to be eligible for FMLA leave? Or does the required 12 months’ employment start when we hire her directly and put her on our payroll?

Among state laws and regulations that businesses find most onerous, those governing labor and employment—in particular what respondents view as an unemployment compensation system that unfairly punishes businesses—were cited most often.

regulations and, coincidentally, also

Several business owners indicated that it wasn’t

backed up in language from a U.S.

The answer is actually found in a section of the federal

Department of Labor opinion letter issued in 1994. This excerpt from the opinion letter quite succinctly addresses the question: You want to know whether the time the employee was employed by the temporary help agency and was working on your premises should be counted towards the tests that determine eligibility, specifically the 1,250 hours worked test and the 12-months of service test. A temporary help agency and the employer are considered joint employers for purposes of determining employer coverage and employee eligibility for purposes of FMLA… Consequently, the time that the employee was employed by the temporary help agency would be counted towards

The biggest plus to doing business in Connecticut is location, including proximity to customers, vendors, family, other businesses in the supply chain, and major metropolitan centers, followed by quality of life and a skilled workforce. The biggest drawbacks, respondents say, are the state’s taxes (particularly the personal income tax), regulatory burdens, an anti-business attitude among policymakers, and the high cost of doing business. Nine out of 10 surveyed businesses said state government policies do not facilitate the efforts of small businesses in Connecticut. And 69% said they were not confident that Connecticut state lawmakers would act consistently and predictably on legislation affecting businesses over the next three to five years. The survey found that the state’s personal income tax is the single biggest tax challenge for small firms, followed by the corporate tax and property taxes. Many small businesses noted, however, that the problem isn’t any one tax but, in one respondent’s

any one particular regulation or set of regulations but the sheer number of them—or as one respondent put it, “death by a thousand cuts.” Although concerns run high about the state’s economy and a shortage of qualified workers, many small businesses are optimistic about growth prospects in 2016. By a factor of nearly three to one, businesses expect to grow this year (38% of respondents) rather than shrink (13%); just under half expect to stay the same. Connecticut small businesses are trying to positively influence policy at both the state and federal levels. Almost two-thirds (64%) report that over the past year they or their employees communicated to legislators regarding their business challenges or needs.

the eligibility tests. Note that if the temp worker remains in the staffing firm’s employ, that firm remains the “primary” employer, responsible for FMLA notices and providing leave and maintaining health insurance.
