Want to finance your own business?

Here’s how

M

any of us dream about becoming business owners.

If you want to turn this vision into a reality, the first step is financing your new business. Check out these four key steps you can start thinking about today: 1. Consider personal financial investment. Be prepared to invest your own capital into your business. Most financing options, including government financing, require you to provide a portion of the investment.

2. Improve your credit rating. Lenders will consider your personal finances when you apply for a loan. Most look at your credit rating, so keep on top of your credit and take the necessary steps to ensure it’s attractive to lenders.

3. Develop a business plan. This is one of the first things most lenders want to see. It shows them what your business idea is, how you plan to implement it, and how you will succeed. Lenders want to ensure that your business is viable before they invest in it.

4. Seek support. Free services to help you with business planning are offered through Canada Business Ontario. Call them at 1-888576-4444 or visit www.canadabusiness.ca.

Canada Business Ontario is a program within the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). For further information on federal economic development programs and services for southern Ontario visit FedDevOntario.gc.ca, contact them by email at info@ FedDevOntario.gc.ca or call toll free, 1-866-593-5505. -NC

INTERAC DEBIT CARD FRAUD LOSSES AT LOWEST LEVEL EVER

F

or the seventh year in a row, Interac Debit losses due to skimming have declined, reaching a record low of just $11.4 million.

Latest fraud figures released recently by Interac Association show that only $1.5 million of that fraud occurred in Canada, thanks in large part to the completion of the transition to chip technology that began in 2008.

Despite these record-low fraud numbers, however, a recent survey for Interac Association/Acxsys Corporation (Interac) found Canadians are increasingly concerned about fraudulent activities such as skimming and electronic pickpocketing. For example, 75 per cent of debit cardholders said they were somewhat or very concerned about skimming, up from the 49 per cent of cardholders who expressed similar concerns in 2015, while 71 per cent were somewhat or very concerned about electronic pickpocketing, up from 40 per cent the year before.

Joanna Schoneveld, senior manager of Fraud Programs at Interac, says these findings suggest a misperception among Canadians about the risk of debit card fraud in Canada.

“According to our survey, three out of four Canadians are worried about payment card ‘skimming’, and 36 per cent have used their payment card less due to this worry – but Interac Debit remains one of the safest ways to pay,”she said.“Our secure chip processing makes fraud due to skimming extremely difficult, and that’s only one of our anti-fraud measures. In fact, out of the $351

billion dollars that went across the Interac Debit network in 2016, only 0.003 per cent – was fraudulent, with just 0.0004 per cent occurring in Canada.”

The total number of debit cards reimbursed for fraud in 2016 was also down to a record low of just 19,000, a 23 per-cent drop from 2015 and down more than 90 per cent from the 238,000 cards reimbursed in 2009, when fraud losses totaled more than $140 million. Usage of the service has grown by 72 per cent since 2009.

“The Interac network is extremely safe thanks to the fraud prevention efforts and investments we make in collaboration nationally and internationally with financial institutions, acquirers, merchants and law enforcement,”said Mark Sullivan, head, client and fraud management, Interac Association/Acxsys Corporation.

Sullivan notes that all ABMs and debit cards in Canada were fully converted to chip technology in 2012 and all point-of-sale terminals became chip-enabled as of October 2016.

Security measures are further backed by the Interac Zero Liability policy* – under which cardholders are reimbursed 100 per cent should any type of unauthorized transaction occur.

Thanks to these security measures, it’s the safest way to pay in Canada when using a payment card. For more information visit interac.ca/en/fraudprevention * All Interac cardholders are protected from losses resulting from circumstances beyond their control under the Interac Zero Liability Policy. See your financial institution for details.

olliers International, in conjunction with RealTrack Inc, have released their Greater Toronto Area Land Report for the winter of 2016. It looks at the major areas of development in the GTA and the notable changes in the market.

GTA OVERVIEW According to RealTrack Inc and Colliers International, 249 residential development land transactions took place in the second half of 2016, totalling 500 for 2016. The largest transaction overall in the GTA for 2016 was Menkes Developments, Greystone Managed Investment and Triovest Reality Advisors partnership purchase of the LCBO Lands for $260 million, which took place in the first half of the year. Cresford Developments was one of the most active purchasers in 2016 with a total of six transactions, all of which were for high-density sites in Toronto, totalling approximately $316.9 million.

Low-density redevelopment purchases accounted for the top three land transactions in each region outside the City of Toronto. The largest transaction in Peel Region

Ontario’s Green Belt, which is CITY OF TORONTO protected from development by the Ontario government, totals about 7,200 km2 of land, much of it located in the GTA. The scarcity of land has forced developers to build up instead of out in places such as downtown Toronto, resulting in projects that are mainly mixed-use condominium developments.

Total aggregate residential development land purchases by developers (in total nominal dollars The second half of 2016 saw 88 purchased) from 2006 to 2016 can be residential development land seen gradually increasing as displayed transactions within the City of Toronto above.

The initial redevelopment of the site is proposed to have 2,000 residential units. This will be Greenland Group’s second venture into Toronto real estate – the first being King Blue Condos. This transaction is one of the largest in Toronto’s history for a condominium redevelopment site.

Cresford Developments’ purchase of 480-492 Yonge Street for $67 million was the second largest sale in the second half of 2016 .The proposed development at 480-492 Yonge Street will consist of a new 38-storey mixed-use building, with 2,250 square metres of commercial space located on the first two floors.

UNDERSTANDING REAL ESTATE TERMS AND FORMULAS

By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

I

n this complex world of Real Estate investment, understanding the many terms, formulas and strategies will help you in making a wise investment. Let’s begin with the Operating Expenses, which are the most important factors in determining cash flow.

OPERATING EXPENSES In my career I have come across many financial reports on investment properties. It never ceases to amaze us how many operating expenses are streamlined to exaggerate the “Net Income”, thus artificially increasing the market value of the property. In addition to the regular expenses for heat, hydro, water, property taxes, etc., the next time you review an income statement, also look for the following expenses.

1. Management Fees Whether you intend to manage yourself or hire a property manager, this item should always be expensed at 3% to 5% of the gross income, depending on the size of the property.

2. Superintendent/Janitor Wages Again, whether or not you intend to do the work yourself, always expense this wage to determine the true operating expenses. Use approximately $40.00 – 50.00 per unit, per month as a guideline. This will vary depending on the duties.

3. Maintenance/Repairs This cost will also vary depending on the type, age and condition of the property, as well as the quality of tenants. A good guideline is approximately $600.00 to $800.00 per unit, per year.

4. Elevator If the property has an elevator, make sure the elevator costs are included in the expenses.

Many times this cost is omitted.

5. Garbage Disposal Determine if the garbage is picked up by the City at no cost, or by a private company that would invoice the owner. This cost is often overlooked.

6. Insurance Coverage The property must be insured for fire and other hazards and this significant cost should not be overlooked. Premiums will vary depending on age and size of the building and be aware that premiums are on the rise.

7. Laundry Expenses On many occasions, you will find the laundry income included in the gross revenues, however, the laundry rentals are often forgotten in the expense column. Unless the laundry equipment is owned, always look for rental charges in the expenses.

8. Advertising/Promotions, etc. In a tough rental market, you must allocate a reasonable monthly charge for advertising or costly promotions.

A good “rule of thumb” for operating expenses is 50% to 60% of the “Effective Gross Income” (a term that will be discussed in next issue). Always remember that it is the Net Operating Income that sets the probable value of the building. Therefore, to actually establish the true N.O.I., all the actual expenses must be accounted for, or you could end up paying too much for the property.

CFIB pegs taxes on small business income and capital gains as top concerns ahead of federal budget 2017 “The federal government needs to show small business owners that it understands the challenges they face by introducing policies and measures in federal budget 2017 to help SMEs build the confidence they need to grow their business,” explained Kelly.

Members of CFIB have also cited a rise in concern with the size of government deficits.“Debt and deficit reduction has now become the second highest priority for Canadian small business owners, just behind the total tax burden,” Kelly added.“This year, it is essential that we see a map toward balanced budgets.”

CFIB has several recommendations, including: Small business taxes: The reduction in the tax rate from 10.5 per cent to nine per cent (as was promised by the government during the 2015 election) is CFIB’s top recommendation for federal budget 2017. CFIB urges government not to further narrow the access to the lower rate.

T

he Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released its list of recommendations ahead of the 2017 federal budget, citing a reinstatement of the promised reduction in the small business tax rate as a top priority.

CFIB also registered its concern amid rumours that the federal government may be considering reducing access to the lower rate of taxation on small business income or raising taxes on capital gains.

“We are calling on the federal government to make good on its own promise to reduce the small business rate to nine per cent,” said Dan Kelly, president of CFIB.“This would be one key measure the government could employ to help spur innovation and offset the impact of a CPP increase and carbon pricing.”

Employment Insurance (EI): Extend the Small Business Job Credit or consider implementing a permanently lower EI rate for small employers. CFIB also recommends government deliver on its promise to introduce an EI holiday for hiring youth.

Introduce an “Innovation Deduction” that would allow businesses to claim up to $100,000 per year spent on new equipment or technology, in the year of purchase. About 82 per cent of small business owners believe such a policy would be helpful for their business.

Labour and Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs): Adopt CFIB’s proposed solution to address permanent labour shortages - an Introduction to Canada Visa, a first step toward permanent residency.

Reduce red tape: In order to further reduce the burden imposed on small business, the one-for-one rule – for every new requirement that the government introduces, one of equivalent burden must be removed – should be broadened to include rules found in policy and legislation.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

Canadian economy picking up steam in 2017 - RBC Economics economic data will likely prompt the Fed to increase its policy rate by 25 basis points this month, and a further 50 basis points later in 2017. The Bank of Canada is expected to start tightening in 2018, which will stabilize the interest rate differential next year.

RBC forecasts the Canadian dollar will end 2017 lower at 72.5 U.S. cents, after trading around 76 U.S. cents in the first two months of the year. The Canadian dollar is projected to reverse most of this depreciation in 2018 rising to 75.2 U.S. cents by the end of 2018.

ONTARIO TO LEAD PROVINCES IN 2017 GROWTH

T

he Canadian economy is showing strength in employment, housing starts and a rebound in energy investment according to the latest RBC Economic Outlook report. RBC Economics expects real gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 2.0 per cent in 2017, followed by a slightly firmer 2.1 per cent in 2018.

“Consumers will continue to support growth in 2017, according to the latest RBC Economic Outlook report.

Canadian exports are projected to accelerate slightly following a subpar performance in 2016.

“Economic conditions, including a pickup in U.S. business investment and modest U.S. export growth, are likely to bolster Canadian exports, but the threat of protectionist trade policies has the potential to hurt Canada’s small, open economy,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist at RBC. Federal government spending on infrastructure projects will provide more significant support in 2017 and this activity is expected to add almost half a percentage point to the national growth rate. At the same time, a slowdown in real estate activity is likely to weigh down growth, as lack of affordability and legislative changes cool some overheated urban housing markets.

INTEREST RATES TO PRESSURE CANADIAN DOLLAR

While a steady, modest increase in energy prices is positive for the Canadian dollar, a more significant factor in 2017 will be the interest rate differential between Canada and the United States. The U.S. dollar is likely to appreciate against most major currencies as the Federal Reserve raises rates through the year. Stronger-than-expected U.S.

The outlook for the provincial economies is generally bright. Modest growth is seen in the Maritime provinces with more vigorous expansion to come in the central and western provinces. Ontario is expected to lead the way for the first time since 2000, with a growth rate of 2.5 per cent.

Two of Canada’s oil-producing provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, will swing back to positive growth in 2017 after two years of economic contraction. However, despite a recovery in energy markets, RBC expects economic activity in Newfoundland and Labrador to decline the most (-3.6 per cent) since 2012.

OUTSIDE OF CANADA CAN GROWTH MOMENTUM TRUMP UNCERTAINTY?

RBC forecasts global growth will hit 3.4 per cent in 2017, the best pace since 2014, although geopolitical uncertainties stemming from the U.S. administration’s economic policies, the U.K.’s Brexit negotiations with the European Union, and elections in France and the Netherlands have potential to negatively affect global trade flows and associated growth.

Global inflation is poised to rise alongside the rebound in energy prices. Nevertheless, RBC expects central banks in Europe, England and Canada to leave monetary policy unchanged as these economies continue to operate with excess capacity.

TAX, TRADE QUESTIONS HANG OVER U.S. OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy is projected to grow by 2.3 per cent in 2017 and the same pace in 2018. While RBC assumes the U.S. administration will lower taxes, which would boost consumer and business spending, the timing and configuration of tax policy changes are not clear.

If the administration’s anti-trade rhetoric results in actual levies on U.S. imports, then U.S. consumers would face higher costs and countries affected by the tariffs would be expected to retaliate, negatively affecting U.S. GDP and employment.

GTA REALTORS REPORT commercial market statistics

T

oronto Real Estate Board President Larry Cerqua announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported a combined 271,918 sq. ft. of industrial, commercial/retail and office space leased through TREB’s MLS system, on a per-square-foot net basis with pricing disclosed, in February 2017. This result was down by 25 per cent compared to 362,720 sq. ft. of leased space reported in February, 2016.

The year-over-year decline in leased space was driven entirely by the industrial segment, where the amount of space leased was down substantially compared to last year.

The amount of commercial/retail and office space leased was up on a year-over-year basis.

Despite the annual decline in industrial space leased, the average lease rate was up over the same period by 13.5 per cent to $6.94 compared to $6.11 in February 2016. The average office lease rate was up by 12.1 per cent year-overyear to $17.03. The average commercial/retail lease rate was down compared to February 2016, largely due to a compositional shift in the size and location of deals this year compared to last year.

“The outlook for Canadian economic growth is positive.

However, there does remain some concern surrounding the revival of exports, which obviously could impact some economic segments in the GTA and southern Ontario more broadly. The evolving economic trends over the next few months will be key in firms’ decisions to take on more space,” said Mr. Cerqua.

The total number of industrial, commercial/retail and office sales reported through TREB’s MLS System with pricing disclosed, at 57, was up slightly compared to 55 transactions reported in February 2016. Changes in average selling prices, on a per square foot basis, were up on an annual basis for the industrial and office market segments, and down for the commercial/retail market segment.

Changes in average selling prices from one year to the next can be due to both changes in market conditions and changes in the type and location of properties sold.

The average office lease rate was up by 12.1 per cent year-over-year to $17.03.

Colliers Spark Report: Fibre optic Internet an important consideration

T

he real estate needs of businesses continue to diversify beyond cost and available space. As companies adopt new technological processes to improve their business operations, their real estate needs expand by requiring efficient technological infrastructure.

With the high cost of installing a fibre optic Internet network, along with service provider fees, many office suites in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are currently not using fibre optic Internet. Despite this, companies should consider real estate options that provide fibre optic Internet, as increased connectivity and speed helps improve workplace productivity.

Many companies sign long-term leases and therefore businesses must also take into account their future connectivity needs when looking for office space now.

This Spark Report focuses on the benefits of fibre optic When selecting an office location, companies are Internet for commercial real estate occupiers. The report increasingly requesting efficient telecommunication also discusses the City of Markham, as the municipality infrastructure – specifically fibre optic Internet. Internet has continually focused on developing advanced fibre connectivity is the foundation of numerous day-to-day optic telecommunication infrastructure throughout its applications such as video conferencing, cloud computing employment areas. Innovative companies find locating and big data analytics. As many firms move towards using in Markham appealing for various reasons, but the city’s these applications, their bandwidth requirements intensify, telecommunication infrastructure is one of its main underscoring the importance of Internet connectivity for competitive advantages. workplace productivity. ...continued on page 44 Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

“Companies that use cloud computing need reliable transfer of data over the Internet, to store and access their information from data centres. The “cloud” is an extension of the office facility, and therefore, high quality and redundant Internet connectivity should be a paramount consideration,” says Geoff Kee, Manager, Real Estate at TeraGo Networks Inc. Office workspaces are constantly transforming as companies diversify and change. As the development of human capital becomes ever more important for businesses, companies are demanding office space that has a mix of amenities that are conducive to developing a productive workforce. Internet connectivity and speed is a vital real estate amenity that directly impacts the day-to-day productivity of a company’s workforce. Colliers reviewed numerous econometric papers for this report that have found a correlation between firms increasing broadband efficiency and overall productivity growth.

Companies within the technical services and media industries have led the demand for high-quality telecommunication infrastructure within their offices, as Internet connectivity and speed is crucial for firms in these industries to perform daily tasks. The demand for efficient telecommunication infrastructure is increasing beyond technical service companies, as more corporations across all industries adopt Internet intensive strategies such as big data analytics, cloud computing or mobile device solutions. A 2014 technology investment plan survey

by Gartner, Inc. found that 73 percent of their survey respondents have invested or plan to invest in big data in the next 24 months, up from 64 percent in 20131. Also, according to the IBM Business Tech Trends Study,“big data and analytics, cloud, mobile and social are each now used by seven in 10 enterprises”2. The increase in use of big data analytics is also being fueled by the increase in availability of useful publicly accessible data. Governments and other organizations are further expanding their publicly open data, which is helping increase the number of companies using data analytics. As more firms adopt bandwidthintensive Internet applications in their day-to-day operations, efficient telecommunication becomes essential.

Internet traffic in Canada is expected to more than triple between 2014 and 20193 Fibre optic Internet is the most efficient telecommunication infrastructure available today.

Fibre optic Internet provides faster upload and download speeds, along with superior connectivity when compared to traditional fixed-line copper broadband.

For reference, according to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the average download speed in the City of Toronto was 22.33 Mbps, while fibre can currently reach speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the average download speed in the City of Toronto was 22.33 Mbps, while fibre can currently reach speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

While there are numerous benefits to choosing an office location that is fibre optic-ready, this is often a challenging task for companies in the GTA and North America in general.

The supply of office suites that are connected with fibre is low as the GTA does not have a complete fibre optic network.

This is partially because constructing an underground fibre optic network throughout a neighbourhood can be expensive and time-consuming. Even when a neighbourhood network is constructed and buildings become “fibre available,” the individual buildings need to be wired throughout each office suite – a costly proposition.

Internet-based workplace applications are becoming the backbone of many corporations adopting data storage, public messaging, online advertising and advanced analytics at a rapid pace. Subsequently, Internet connectivity and speed have become increasingly critical to workplace productivity.

Therefore, Colliers International has recognized fibre optic Internet as an amenity that companies should seek out when choosing office space. While finding fibre optic-connected space can be difficult, this Spark Report has identified Markham as an advantageous location for firms, as the municipality continues to develop extensive fibre optic networks throughout its employment areas.

For the full Spark Report, including additional charts and data, please visit colliers.com.

Survey Methodology: For this Spark Report, Colliers conducted a survey asking respondents if their building currently had access to fibre optic Internet. Buildings that are owned and operated by a single company, such as IBM’s buildings, were not surveyed, but it can be assumed that they have access to fibre optic Internet services.

Single-tenant buildings that are not available to the market were also not surveyed. In total, more than 70 buildings were surveyed or approximately 80 per cent of all Class A and B office space in Markham. The 20 per cent of Class A and B office space that was not surveyed belongs in the aforementioned owner-occupied or single tenant building category not available for lease to the market.

Resource sector optimism helps create more upbeat mood across country

C

anada’s small businesses are quite a bit more upbeat in February, according to Business Barometer, a monthly index put out by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The index* rose 2.7 points to 62.9 this month – its best reading since January 2015.

“The destabilizing effects of the oil price crunch on business confidence now appear mostly behind us,” said Ted Mallett, Chief Economist at CFIB.“This new, more optimistic outlook in the resource sector is reflecting a more balanced effect across the country, though this has yet to translate into a higher expectation of new full-time positions becoming available in the coming months.”

The improving perspectives in previously hard-hit Alberta (49.8) and Saskatchewan (57.7) has helped boost the index and is closing the confidence gap that opened up with the rest of the country when oil prices were depressed, although the numbers are still not quite back to normal mid-cycle levels.

Businesses are most upbeat in Manitoba and Quebec, with index levels at 66.9 and 66.6 respectively. However, optimism in the Maritimes, Ontario and BC is nearly as high, which suggests overall robustness returning to the economy. Businesses in Newfoundland & Labrador, however, remain pessimistic.

The industry picture also supports a page-turning on business prospects, with optimism rising in 11 of 13 sector groups. As mentioned, resources sector owners are now the most upbeat with an index reading of 69.2, but this is followed rather close behind by those in the information (67.9) and wholesale (67.1) industries. Healthcare, transportation and retail industries are the most sluggish, but overall sector differentials are relatively small compared to past results.

Other business operations indicators are suggesting a state of affairs that is not quite back to normal just yet.

Business investment plans, new orders and accounts receivables conditions remain a little below par. Hiring plans are recovering from a late-2016 bout of pessimism, with 18 per cent of business owners expecting to hire full-time staff in the next few months, versus 12 per cent expecting to cut back.

“While these numbers are positive, we normally see better hiring plans laid out at this time of year,” explained Mallett. “More time is required to ensure that improving prospects actually take root for individual employers. For that reason, employment trends typically lag that of the economy in general.”

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region. *On a scale between 0 and 100, an index above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. One normally sees an index level of between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential.

Cadillac Fairview is currently in discussions with a number of prospective tenants who have expressed interest in 16 York.

Toronto is experiencing near-record-low vacancy rates and CF sees continued demand for commercial office space along with a deep pool of prospective tenants.

Located one city block from Union Station, and in close proximity to both the Gardiner Expressway and Toronto’s waterfront, the site is well positioned to appeal to tenants who prioritize transit accessibility and a diverse amenity offering for their employees. 16 York will be built to LEED platinum specifications and will target WELL certification, the fast-evolving, occupant-centric standard for tenant well-being, comfort and efficient operation. Additional features include:

“We are excited to start this development project. Investing in high-quality real estate is an integral part of OPB’s overall investment strategy. We continue to focus on acquiring real estate assets with innovative designs and leading sustainability features that align with our long-term investment horizon. We are confident that 16 York will attract prime tenants and will provide us with an excellent return on our investment,” said Mark Fuller, President and CEO of the Ontario Pension Board.

“CF is moving forward with 16 York without any pre-leasing because of compelling market conditions and the superior qualities of the building and its location,” according to Wayne Barwise, Cadillac Fairview’s executive vice-president, Development.“Toronto’s class A vacancy rate of four per cent is among the lowest in North America, and tenants are seeking the benefits that 16 York offers, including sustainability, efficiency, building intelligence, access to major transit options and local amenities.”

The Pro Fund’s Client Experience: Syndicated Mortgages, The New Craze!

Flipping Properties with Zero Down

Syndicated mortgages have become a very popular topic to many in the mortgage industry recently. So many companies are introducing these investment offerings to investors. Being in the mortgage business for over 17 years now and specifically catering to the private lending side of the business, I can attest that this is not a new investment vehicle.

Some companies in the industry are raising millions of dollars for one mortgage investment and in order to raise these types of funds, they are implementing a channel of referral agents As anyone thinking about flipping a property knows… you don’t get paid until you sell.

The problem with incentivizing referral agents with large returns occurs when things like mortgage payments and property taxes during the process can become a burden.

So how can you structure your very own “zero down flip”?

1. Know your numbers - See a lot of properties, find out what they are selling for, both before and after the proposed renovations, and build yourself a buffer of 20% over and above what you think it will cost. Talk to contractors, get estimates and be ready to play hardball if needed.

2. Back it up – Start the process with comparable sales (your realtor can help with this) this is how you’re going to convince your lender that you can actually get the property sold for what you think you can sell it for at the end of the day. If they’re going to lend you money they need to know you have an “exit strategy”. Be sure that you’re very clear on what yours is. Good mortgage brokers will require an appraisal because they have an interest in making sure everyone is protected. You should expect to provide an appraisal for the property “as is” and “upon completion” of the proposed renovations.

3. Work with a broker that focuses on creative financing – I’ve worked for, and used Pro Funds Mortgages for financing for 5 years now. Knowing I can get real estate financed has allowed me to be a lot more aggressive with my real estate acquisitions.

4. Be willing to give up other collateral – my portfolio is an open book when it comes to getting new money. I put up one of my other properties to avoid putting any money down on this deal and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The ease and speed of operating this way allows me to do more than I ever could with a bank.

If you’re thinking about doing a flip of your own or are wondering how you can leverage your existing properties to purchase a property with little or zero down, contact Pro Funds Mortgages at 1-888-330-3866 or info@profunds.ca

Ontario’s economic growth will lose some momentum in 2017

O

ntario’s economy remains in a good position, although real GDP (gross domestic product) growth is expected to ease to two per cent in 2017. A few key segments – such as consumer spending, residential investment and exports – will not be performing as strongly and that will temper economic prospects going forward. In particular, total real business investment is projected to pull back 0.7 per cent in the province this year, weighed down by weaker residential investment and machinery and equipment investment.

12G COM

to cool the housing market have been successful, as sales of detached homes, condos, and townhouses in Greater Vancouver dropped by close to 40 per cent in January 2017 relative to last year. The slowdown in housing activity will spread to other sectors of the province’s economy, with growth in employment and retail sales expected to moderate this year.

ALBERTA Alberta’s real GDP is forecast to grow by 2.8 per cent this year, the fastest among the provinces, with 0.4 percentage point coming from the rebuilding efforts in Fort McMurray. Also contributing to the province’s growth is a more stable outlook for the energy sector following the recent OPEC agreement to cut oil production, which will allow oil prices to average almost $60 US a barrel for the West Texas Intermediate by the end of 2018. Although investment in the energy sector will not be increasing at a fast pace, total exports are expected to increase this year due to robust oil production gains as new oil sands projects come online. Another positive development for Alberta down the road is the federal government’s conditional approval of the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement project and Kinder Morgan pipeline.

SASKATCHEWAN Following two years of recession, Saskatchewan’s economy will be back in the black this year, with real GDP growth forecast at 0.9 per cent. The oil industry is starting to see activity turn around, but global market conditions continue to challenge potash and uranium producers in the province.

A net gain of 1,804 jobs will be created this year, but it will not be enough to prop up disposable income. As a result, household spending will be modest, providing little relief to the struggling retail sector.

Alberta is poised to have the strongest economic growth in 2017 mainly due to fast-rising oil production, according to The Conference Board of Canada’s Provincial Outlook: Winter 2017. Former leaders, British Columbia and Ontario, will see the pace of economic growth ease this year, but they will still deliver a solid performance.

HIGHLIGHTS • Alberta’s real GDP is forecast to grow by 2.8 per cent this year, the fastest among the provinces.

• All provinces are expected to see positive economic growth this year, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador.

• Last year’s leaders, British Columbia and Ontario, will see their economic growth lose some momentum in 2017 but they will still deliver moderate expansion.

BRITISH COLUMBIA Taking a hit from the housing market slowdown, British Columbia’s economy will slow from the three per cent average pace of the last three years to 1.9 per cent in 2017.

Steps taken by both the provincial and federal governments

MANITOBA Manitoba’s economy will advance 1.9 per cent this year and grow by a similar pace in 2018. Declines in metal mining output of more than 10 per cent are forecast over the next three years and this will lead to more modest growth prospects for the province. Still, Manitoba’s manufacturing, transportation, and insurance sectors are sound, insulating the province from any large fluctuations in GDP. QUEBEC The Quebec economy exceeded expectations in 2016 and will continue to perform well with real GDP growth forecast to average 1.9 per cent for 2017–18. The province is phasing out health care contributions over the next two years, which will leave households with more disposable income. This, combined with strong job creation, should contribute to decent growth in household spending. Two areas of concern for the province are exports and business investment in machinery and equipment. If they don’t pick up, it could hurt growth prospects going forward.

Why do I need a lawyer to buy a franchise?

By Konstantine Chatzidimos and Jayson Schwarz

W

hat is a franchise?

A “franchise” is a legal structure where a “franchisor” grants to a “franchisee” the right to use a trade name, trademark and can include a business methodology in association with the running of a particular business. Franchise arrangements are quite common in the retail and restaurant sectors of the economy but can be found in virtually all segments.

In exchange for the right to use the franchisor’s trade name or trademark and following their guidelines, the franchisee typically pays the franchisor an initial franchise fee plus ongoing royalty payments linked to the gross sales of the franchised business.

DUE DILIGENCE Many prospective franchisees believe that since a particular franchise may have been around for a while less research, investigation or even business knowledge are required on their part when considering this type of investment. They will hear the “turn-key operation” and put their financial suspicions to rest.

The Canadian Franchise Association implores prospective franchise purchasers to “investigate before investing.” In Ontario, legislation requires franchisors to provide prospective franchisees a Disclosure Document at least 14 days before they sign any agreement or pay any money to the franchisor. This Disclosure

14G COM

Document is supposed to furnish prospective franchisees with detail regarding the franchise they wish to purchase.

It is imperative that prospective franchisees review the complete Disclosure Document, and any schedules, with a commercial lawyer experienced in this area of the law. An experienced lawyer will determine whether the disclosure provided satisfies the franchisor’s obligations under the law. Too often clients have retained us to close the purchase of their new franchise well after signing the franchise agreement. You have to read the complete Disclosure Document to understand what you are buying.

You are going to get financial statements with the Disclosure document so you will need a chartered accountant to review those as well to ensure you are not buying “a pig in a poke.” If you need a referral your lawyer can certainly help you.

The Franchise Agreement Included with the Disclosure Document should be a copy of the draft Franchise Agreement. I refer to it as a “draft” because normally there is some negotiation ‘wiggle’ room. It is imperative that the 14-day window is taken advantage of and you address any issues in the Franchise Agreement at that time.

Here are some things to watch for that ordinarily are points of contention: the franchise fee; royalty rates; pricing of products that have to be bought from the franchisor; training (if any); territory: exclusivity; degree of control by franchisor over operation of the business and term of the agreement. Ensure you are comfortable with the degree and scale of any such “big-brothering” exacted by the franchisor.

Be aware, however, that franchisors pay hefty legal fees to draft their standard form Franchise Agreements and, as a consequence, typically do not want to change anything. Thus, it is best to select a handful of issues for negotiation instead of nit-picking on every second or third line; choose your battles.

CONCLUSION There are a host of issues to be addressed when purchasing a franchised business. However, the legislation has made it easier for prospective franchisors to make more informed decisions. The thing is, the prospective franchisee has to take the step to become informed.

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.
