market uncertainty, evidence suggests the valuation gap is shrinking as the deal making environment gets busier, he adds.

Transactions aren’t the only growth strategy Canadian power and utilities companies are undertaking, either.

Thirty-eight percent of executives cite cost reduction as a primary area of focus.

“Increased regulatory oversight and heightened stress on earnings have prompted utilities to optimize their operations and rebalance their portfolios,” says McInnis.“And with M&A a major “We’ve already seen a strong start to the component of utilities’ growth agenda year with global deal values the highest over the next year, keeping costs under they’ve been in the sector in three years,” control can also serve companies well says Gerard McInnis, partner in EY’s if they decide to take advantage of Power & Utilities practice.“In Canada, increased appetite for deals.” we’re seeing deals driven largely by US EY is a global leader in assurance, tax, entities looking for opportunity outside their own service territories.”

According to EY’s latest Power & Utilities Capital Confidence Barometer, global deal volumes are likely to continue this upward trend. Sixty-nine percent of survey respondents expect deal volumes to improve, and another 33 per cent plan to pursue an acquisition in the next 12 months.

Meanwhile, the report notes that amid moderating load growth demand, greater energy conservation and efficiency, and increasingly distributed generation, US utilities in particular are looking beyond their service territories for growth.

“High demand and competition for Canadian assets – from the US and other foreign entities – is driving up the rate base and resulting in assets being sold at a healthy premium,” explains McInnis.

Commercial lease agreements: Why landlords need lawyers

O

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

Covering off all the bases

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

Aside from the financial considerations noted above, commercial leases must also cover off any “special” requirements to prevent confusion going forward; as an example, use clauses or renewal terms. Tenants typically prefer leases with renewal options. Tenants typically also desire the ability to “assign” their lease as this affords them flexibility to sell their business. Any such provisions should give you broad discretion to vet any prospective assignee to ensure they would be a prudent and reliable tenant. The lease should make sure the tenant will pay any legal and/or administrative costs incurred on any renewal or assignment of the lease.

Negotiation of the lease Landlords often have their standard form or “boiler-plate” commercial lease agreement which they present to prospective tenants for review prior to execution. Savvy tenants will typically have retained a lawyer to review the document and offer proposed amendments. In a scenario where there will be a back-and-forth in respect of the ultimate wording – and particularly where the prospective tenant has retained a lawyer – I highly recommend hiring a solicitor to quarterback the negotiations. From my practice I have found landlords all-too willing to cut out provisions which could severely compromise them in the interests of not losing the tenant.

Conclusion It goes without saying that all warranties, representations and terms outlining the landlord/tenant relationship must be incorporated into the lease agreement. These documents can often run between 30 to 50 pages in length.

It is far better for your commercial lease to be “too long” than “too short.”

Sitting down with an experienced commercial lawyer to properly negotiate and draft your commercial lease at the front end can save you considerable aggravation down the line.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

Organize your finances in four easy steps

o you tend to live paycheque to paycheque?

Does the notion of setting up a savings plan put you into cold sweat? The financial experts from Desjardins Group have a 4-step plan to help.

What are you worth? Drawing up a balance sheet may seem daunting, but it’s actually a very simple exercise. Start by listing your assets (what you own) and your liabilities (what you owe). Now calculate your net worth by adding up your assets and then subtracting your liabilities. If your net worth is positive, you’re doing a great job of managing your money. If your net worth is negative – or “in the red” – It’s time to tackle your debts and get your finances back on track. Go to step 2.

Create a budget that is straightforward and flexible so it can be easily modified if your income or expenses change. Be realistic and specific about your spending. To build a simple budget, take a look at your monthly bank statements and bills to identify your fixed expenses (i.e. housing, groceries, transportation, bills, debts, etc.) and variable expenses (leisure, clothing, vacations, etc.). The goal is to find a balance so that you have a little left over each month that you can apply to your debt. Go to step 3 for tips on how to pay off your debt.

So, how overextended are you? To find out exactly how much you owe, add up all your debts. (See Step 1) Then, determine which debt you want to repay first. (Here’s a tip: Pick the one with the highest balance or highest interest rate.) Or, depending on your situation, consider consolidating your debts so that you only have one payment to make. Remember to reward yourself when you reach your goal – without using your credit of course. Head to step 4 for tips on how to start saving.

Saving pays off, so start saving in small increments today. Experts suggest that you should save 10 percent of your earnings and have an emergency fund equalling a minimum of three months’ worth of savings. This may be very overwhelming when you’re starting out. So try starting small by saving five dollars a week until you have more funds available. Remember, saving a bit than saving none.

New CFIB data CoNFIrms

labour shortage in hospitality sector, corrects TFW myths

t

he businesses that drive Canada’s economy say there is, in fact, a labour shortage, and those that hire temporary Foreign workers, including restaurants, only do so after looking far and wide for Canadian talent.

Survey data from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) corrects a number of misconceptions about labour shortages and how small and medium businesses use the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). These misconceptions have added fuel to a public backlash against the TFWP stemming from stories of alleged abuse, and have led government to close off the program to small businesses in the restaurant sector, some of which may not survive without it.

appropriately,” concluded Kelly,“but shutting down access for sectors that need the workers and follow the rules is deeply unfair and will do serious damage to the affected firms.”

CFIB is actively lobbying the federal government for an end to the moratorium and will release detailed recommendations.

Read a summary of the findings. at cfib.ca.

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

“Eight out of 10 small businesses looking to hire staff in the last three years had difficulty doing so. Among restaurants and other hospitality businesses looking to hire, 85 per cent had trouble,” said CFIB President Dan Kelly.“There are some jobs that Canadians are not flocking to and wages are only part of the story.”

Even businesses that turned to the TFWP left no stone unturned looking for Canadian workers first. After expanding their recruitment efforts across the country, 72 per cent increased the wages they were offering before turning to foreign workers (83 per cent in hospitality). Another 55 per cent of hospitality firms introduced or expanded employee benefit programs – a considerable challenge in a sector known for tight margins and high business failure rates.

“The notion that employers are hiring temporary foreign workers to save money is, quite frankly, laughable,” added Kelly.“Hiring through the TFWP is complicated, it’s timeconsuming, and much more costly than hiring local. Employers much prefer to hire Canadians if local staff are willing and able to do the job.”

Also clear from the survey, small business owners do not condone abuse of the system. When asked, 85 per cent said misuse of the TFWP should result in that business losing access.“Small businesses want the program to be used

How well do you know

OntariO’s laws and regulatiOn tHat govern investment properties?

Hamilton

T

o be a successful real estate investor in Ontario, one should have a good grasp of some of the rules, laws and regulations applicable to investment properties. This article addresses some of the obscure laws and regulations that all investor should be aware of.

DiD you know?

1. If a rental unit in Ontario was built or first occupied after November 1st, 1991, the legislated rental guideline increases are not applicable. This is advantageous for an investor with a building with low rents. The rents can be increased to what the market will bear and not what the government allows.

2. There is no such thing as a Retro-fit Certificate from the fire department in Ontario. It is called a Certificate of Compliance. The Fire Marshal is the principal adviser to provincial government on public fire protection policy and fire safety issues. The Fire Marshall is responsible for the administration of the following provincial legislation that promotes fire protection, fire prevention and public safety in Ontario: • the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 (FPPA), and • the Fire Code, a regulation made under the act that governs fire safety standards for equipment, systems, buildings, structures, land and premises in Ontario 3. An Ontario purchaser can terminate a tenancy at any time upon 60 days clear notice if the rental unit is required by the purchaser or the purchaser’s immediate family. In calculating the notice period, one does not count any days in the month that notice was given. If there is a lease, the termination cannot be earlier than the termination date of the lease. This early termination provision is not available if the building contains more than 3 residential units.

4. Ontario laws now require all municipalities to permit basement apartments in homes. In 2009, the Ontario government began developing a long-term affordable housing strategy. Public consultations were held across Ontario. In 2010, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing released Building Foundations:

Building Futures, Ontario’s Long-Term Affordable Housing Strategy (LTAHS). As part of the strategy, Bill 140: Strong Communities through Affordable Housing Act, 2011 was introduced to Provincial Parliament on November 29, 2010 and received Royal Assent on May 4, 2011. The following are a few of the requirements for a legal basement apartment; however, for complete list, discussions should be had with the applicable building department.

(1) The house must be at least 5 years old.

(2) The front of the house cannot be significantly altered to change its appearance from that of a one unit building.

(3) Basement apartments must be smaller than the main dwelling apartment unit.

(4) The minimum ceiling height is 6’5”. Ceiling must be continuous. The furnace room ceiling must be dry walled or plastered.

(5) Doors must be solid wood or metal with a minimum thickness of 1.75”. Windows must be within 3’ of ground level, and, if there is window well, it must extend at least 3’ from the house wall to allow room to crawl out.

(6) Bathrooms must have a window or fan.

(7) A building permit is required before construction begins. In many cases, an additional parking space will be required for the new basement apartment. If there is a parking space for the upper apartment, there must also be a parking space for the basement apartment.

5. Landlords cannot advertise that they will require more than first and last month’s rent in advance of the tenant moving in. This includes any security deposit.

If the tenant offers to pay extra money up front, make sure that it is clear that the offer is coming from the tenant. This could include a deposit to cover any damages or clean the unit when the tenant wants to bring a pet. Tenants need to keep a receipt for the payment as proof that the amount was paid, in case it is ever challenged later by anyone.

Telecom: LACK OF CHOICE, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE HURT SMALL BIZ Highlights: Telecom providers take more and give less, hurting small biz Nearly 50 per cent of SMEs dissatisfied with current service options service has not improved since 2008.

In fact, almost half (47.1%) of small business owners feel there is not enough competition in the wired internet services market, followed by 44.3% for wired telephone service, and 40.9% for wireless telephone service.

This means many small business consumers feel they are not being adequately served by the providers in their area.

L

imited competition and poor customer service among telecommunications providers hurt the productivity of small businesses, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). While most SMEs use internet and wireless technologies more than ever to run their business, current options – or a lack thereof – are a growing cause of concern. CFIB is publishing this research in light of today’s 17th Biennial

National Conference – New Developments in Communications Law & Policy, hosted by the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Canadian Bar Association.

“Small businesses rely on internet and wireless technologies to compete in an ever changing and increasingly interconnected economy,”said Corinne Pohlmann, Senior Vice-President of National Affairs.“With only one provider available in some regions, small businesses have no choice but to contract with them, or do without these services completely.

That’s no way to run a business, especially if you want to stay competitive.”

CFIB survey results show that small business satisfaction with high speed internet, wired and wireless telephone

“Less choice means small business owners face higher prices and lower levels of service,” said Monique Moreau, Director of National Affairs and author of the report.“And that directly affects productivity.”As the industry moves towards connecting Canadians across the country, CFIB encourages providers to ensure they include small business consumers in their plans.

The survey also revealed that customer service continues to be a problem for small business consumers.“Customers should have the ability to opt out of contracts when customer service issues are not met,”said Peter Anderson, a small business owner from Hamilton, Ontario.

“There are (also) many fees charged that are not disclosed on a regular basis... it takes too long to get a warm body to address your issue in customer service to make it worth arguing.”

For more information or to arrange an interview with Corinne Pohlmann or Monique Moreau, contact Gisele Lumsden at 416-222-8022 or email public.affairs@cfib.ca.

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

The Smith Manoeuvre: deducting mortgage interest

O

While this may not by itself create financial freedom, imagine receiving these savings year after year – with minimal effort required. Imagine the impact of a higher interest rate or larger mortgage.

Your tax savings will vary based on where you live in Canada, your income level and the amount of interest you pay. As a quick example, though, with a mortgage of $200,000 at 4.5 per cent, your tax savings could be approximately $3,000 per year.

A variety of versions of the plan exist, and vary in aggressiveness and implementation to suit your needs and comfort.

ne of the largest expenses we have tends to be the mortgage on our home. Following traditional rules, we are limited to deducting, at best, a small percentage of the interest where we use a home office for business purposes.

However, using non-traditional planning, we are able to deduct potentially 100 per cent of the interest costs.

A popular nickname for describing some of the possible techniques is the “Smith Manouevre,” coined by Frasor Smith. A variety of versions of the plan exist, and vary in aggressiveness and implementation to suit your needs and comfort. With a Supreme Court decision related in part to questions surrounding the appropriateness of interest deduction plans, tax advisors have largely been given the green light to help clients restructure their affairs in an optimal fashion.

In its simplest form, these interest deductibility techniques allow homeowners the ability to convert the non-deductible portion of the interest on their mortgage to fully deductible over a period of time. The period is typically several years, however, your financial situation and aggressiveness may dramatically decrease this time.

A variety of mortgage products provide the ability to divide your mortgage into at least two segments, which allows you to track the interest expense on these segments separately. Your total mortgage will typically be set at 75 to 80 per cent of the value of your home. If you are permitted a total mortgage of $200,000 on your home, you may start with the “bad” portion (non-deductible) of the mortgage at this $200,000 and the “good” portion (deductible) of the mortgage at zero. As you make payments on the mortgage, your principal on the bad mortgage will decrease, leaving you additional room to borrow on the good debt. In other words, your total mortgage may still be $200,000, however, it is divided between good and bad debt.

So, what do you do with this good debt? You invest.

Traditionally, this was thought of as an excellent vehicle to acquire mutual funds and similar investments. However, this may be a great opportunity for you to go beyond that and invest in your business.

You may be able to shorten the conversion time of your bad debt where, for example, you have non-registered financial assets that can be sold and the proceeds used to pay down some bad debt. Tax refunds, inheritances, unexpected sources of funds, extra mortgage payments are further ways of speeding up the conversion.

While restructuring must be done properly, your efforts will be rewarded. Talk to your tax, mortgage and investment advisors to determine whether such a plan can work for you and that you are comfortable with the full implications. Also, work closely with your mortgage advisor as you pay close attention to the features of the mortgage product that you use to ensure you have the required flexibility to accomplish your goals.

There are significant differences between the products beyond the interest rates which command your attention.

This article is brief in nature and omits many important details that may dramatically change how financial plans may affect your particular situation. This should not be considered tax, investment, business or similar advice. Before implementing

SCotiabank: Canada’s Housing Market transitioning to slower growtH

C

anada’s long housing cycle is turning and the impact of a softening market will be felt broadly, according to a Scotiabank report released recently.

Residential investment stalled last year, as affordability constraints tempered home sales, and builders scaled back the number of new developments.

“Housing is a large and integral part of the Canadian economy and has been a major driver of growth over the past decade,” said Adrienne Warren, Scotiabank’s senior economist who presented at the recent annual Scotiabank Real Estate Market Outlook Conference in Toronto.

“The fastest growing segment has been renovation spending,” added Ms. Warren.“Fuelled by rising home prices, tight resale market conditions, attractive financing costs and government tax credits, real renovation outlays increased at an average annual rate of over six per cent from 2000 to 2012.

“This is double the three per cent average annual increase in new construction, and three times the two per cent yearly growth in transfer costs,” she said.“These record outlays have increased the quality of the housing stock, and contributed to price appreciation.”

Highlights in the report include: • Employment growth in housing-related sectors has consistently outperformed national hiring trends over the past decade by a sizeable margin • Housing assets have generated $1.7 trillion in net new wealth for Canadian households since 2000. This is a major change from the 1990s, when Canada’s relatively weak housing market generated only $324 billion in household wealth creation.

• Resale activity is expected to edge lower in 2014-2015. Rising mortgage rates, combined with high home prices and stricter

mortgage regulations, will strain affordability, especially for first-time buyers in major urban centres.

• Apart from construction, industries most affected by a housing slowdown include manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, finance, insurance and real estate, and professional and technical services.

Canada’s Housing Market Transitioning to Slower Growth Canada’s long housing cycle is turning. Residential investment stalled last year, as affordability constraints tempered home sales, and builders scaled back the number of new developments. We expect the sector will remain on a more subdued trajectory over the next several years, imposing a modest drag on output growth.

Housing is a large and integral part of the Canadian economy.

Residential investment, which includes new construction, renovations to existing dwellings, and ownership transfer costs such as real estate commissions and legal and appraisal fees, totalled $128 billion last year. The largest share of investment comes from new construction (45 per cent), followed by renovation spending (37 per cent) and transfer costs (18 per cent).

Housing has been a major driver of growth over the past decade. Residential investment expanded at an average 4.2 per cent annual rate from 2000-2012, almost double overall GDP growth of 2.2 per cent. The sector directly contributed almost 0.3 percentage points annually to real GDP growth over this period. Residential investment accounts for close to a 7 per cent share of overall output – the highest among the G7 economies and more than double the comparable U.S. ratio.

The fastest growing segment has been renovation spending.

Fuelled by rising home prices, tight resale market conditions, attractive financing costs and government tax credits, real renovation outlays increased at an average annual rate of over six per cent from 2000 to 2012. This is double the three per cent average annual increase in new construction, and three times

the 2 per cent yearly growth in transfer costs. These record outlays have increased the quality of the housing stock, and contributed to price appreciation.

Housing also generates significant spillovers to a range of other goods and service industries. Homebuilders and renovators rely on wholesalers and manufacturers to supply building materials, heating and cooling systems, and household appliances and fixtures. New construction requires engineering services for land and infrastructure development.

Existing home sales generate substantial ancillary spending for retailers and manufacturers of household goods, movers, and financial and real estate service providers.

Quantifying the size of these indirect economic benefits is challenging, and depends, among other factors, on labour market conditions, the prevailing interest rate environment, and the extent of import leakage. Analysis based on inputoutput tables has typically yielded an output multiplier of around 1.5, implying a $1 billion investment in housing (through new construction, renovations and/or resale activity) generates a $1.5 billion increase in real output across the economy. Combining direct and indirect impacts, and housing’s contribution to annual GDP growth from 2000-2012 is probably closer to 0.4 percentage points.

These estimates do not account for third-round impacts coming from increases in labour income, or wealth effects from rising home prices. Housing assets have generated $1.7 trillion in net new wealth for Canadian households since 2000. This is a major change from the 1990s, when Canada’s relatively weak housing market generated only $324 billion in household wealth creation. Assuming a wealth effect of 5 cents to the dollar, this may have generated upwards of $6 billion annually in additional retail, renovation and other household spending.

Housing is labour intensive and a major source of employment for Canadians. The residential building construction sector employed 235,000 Canadians in 2011, including self-employed workers, according to the latest National Household Survey. The real estate services sector counted another 245,000. Related industries, including specialty trade contractors and professional services, employ many more workers. Employment growth in housing-related sectors has consistently outperformed national hiring trends over the past decade by a sizeable margin.

From Less TaiLwind To more Headwind

amply supplied high-rise segment than for single-family homes.

A softer sales and pricing environment also is expected to dampen renovation activity. Renovation spending tracks sales transactions, given relatively large outlays undertaken by new buyers and, to a lesser extent, sellers preparing their home for sale. Even so, an expanding housing stock and high homeownership rates should continue to support modest growth in renovation spending. Renovation activity is typically less volatile than new construction and home sales.

Homebuilders are expected to further slow the pace of new home construction in the face of weak growth in new home prices, rising building costs and increased unsold inventory.

The slowdown will likely remain focused on multi-unit construction given growing concerns of oversupply and softening investor sentiment. From a regional perspective, Alberta is expected to outperform national trends, with sales and construction supported by relatively firmer employment and income gains and strong population inflows.

The impact of a softening housing market will be felt broadly.

Apart from construction, industries most affected by a housing slowdown include manufacturing, retail & wholesale trade, finance, insurance & real estate, and professional & technical services. The likelihood of smaller household wealth gains as house price growth slows (or adjusts lower) will reinforce a more cautious trend in consumer spending.

We expect resale activity to edge lower in 2014-2015. Rising mortgage rates, combined with high home prices and stricter mortgage regulations, will strain affordability, especially for first-time buyers in major urban centres. At the same time, population growth and relatively healthy labour market conditions suggest sales should hold near their 10year average. Softer sales should in turn slow house price appreciation, with greater downside price risk in the more

SkyVie ws C ONS IDE R A T ION S WHE N S E L L ING Y OUR APAR T ME NT B UIL DING When it comes to selling your apartment building, there are many things to consider. The most important, however, is which brokerage firm you will choose to represent your interests and generate the right potential buyers. The following is a general guideline for choosing the right brokerage firm for you.

your property, the right brokerage will utilize what is called “target marketing”. Having access to multiple forms of communication, your brokerage should identify the best strategy to reach all buyers in the apartment building industry directly, resulting in you getting the most efficient marketing results.

1) Go with Experience Real Estate markets change from year to year, even from month to month. When dealing with a brokerage, you need to find the delicate balance of experience coupled with the up-to-date understanding of today’s current marketplace and trends. Experience alone will fail to provide you with strategies that will apply to current trends in the industry. On the other hand, a brokerage that lacks experience will not be able to accurately predict and prepare for upcoming trends.

6) Knowing the Buyers Your ideal brokerage is connected not only to you but also to a network of current buyers. When you are ready for your property to be listed, your brokerage should already have contacts with potential buyers and know who would be the right fit for your building.

Greater Toronto Area

2) Look Out for Number One Above all else, the brokerage you choose should look after your interests and work hard knowing that they have your trust, confidence and commitment. Your brokerage should ultimately be looking to serve your needs throughout the process of selling.

3) Take the Right Approach Some brokerages focus on the approach of “Bring Me an Offer”. While multiple offers can be beneficial, finding the right buyer with the right offer is the most crucial element in working with a brokerage. A good brokerage will bring the right people to the table to help you sell your building.

4) Know Your Value Many brokerages waste valuable time and resources hoping to pinpoint the market value for your building.

The right brokerage, however, will have the knowledge and experience to provide an accurate opinion of value prior to even listing your building. Knowing what your building is worth will help you get the right return on your investment.

5) Exposure is Key Marketing your property is not just a matter of using one or two forms of communication to blanket the market in hopes of finding potential buyers. To properly market

7) Real Estate Networking Along with knowledge of current buyers, a brokerage should have already established relationships with other companies in the industry - appraisers, environmental and structural inspectors, financial institutions, etc.

Having an established network of industry professionals can assist you in bringing your transaction to a quicker close.

8) Beyond the Offer Many real estate transactions fail at the most crucial stage... the due diligence process. Having a brokerage that engages in a thorough due diligence process ensures that your building’s information is verified for the buyer and your transaction closes smoothly and promptly.

9) Get What You Pay For Whether you are paying a low or high commission fee to the brokerage of your choice, you need to be confident in the level of service you received. The right brokerage will be dedicated to providing the ultimate service for the commission fees you pay.

The Bottom Line When all is said and done, the most important element in dealing with a brokerage is achieving top dollar for your apartment building. Finding the right brokerage -one that fulfills the above criteria - ensures that you will walk away from your transaction with the confidence that you have received exceptional service, maximum exposure, hassle-free processes, and the financial results you had planned for.

Renting out a cottage

A

s much as we wish life could be a constant vacation in the countryside, most Canadians are in and out of the cottages they own. So when personal finances are tight, renting out your idyllic cottage is a smart way of turning your lakefront dream into an affordable reality.

“Renting your cottage to others for a few weeks here and there is a great way to alleviate the financial stress of ownership,” says Wayne Ross, an insurance expert at Aviva Canada.“And by taking a few steps prior to sharing your home-away-from-home with others, you can ensure that it is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.”

Ross offers these quick tips to ensure you are better equipped to rent your summer home: 1. Examine your property: Conduct a thorough check of your cottage and surrounding grounds to ensure that all furniture and plumbing are in good condition. It’s easy to overlook flaws that you have become accustomed to, so be sure to examine objectively.

2. Keep it clean: Scout out local cleaning services to make sure that your cottage is spic and span before and after your renters move in. Never forget that with a cottage rental, you’re operating a small business.

3. Revisit your insurance policy: Calculate how much time you spend in your cottage and how often you will rent it out to determine what kind of coverage you need. Some insurance policies limit the length of time for rental to others.

More information is available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com. –NC

New professioNal & medical ceNtre developmeNt plaNNed iN the heart of York west

L

ocated within steps of the new Finch West Station transit hub, a medical and professional centre has begun development in the resurging Downsview Corridor in northern Toronto.

University Heights, being built 200m from the corner of Finch Ave W. and Keele St. is being constructed with professional and medical occupancy in mind for this uniquely specialized building project.

With the Finch West TTC subway and LRT station planned for completion in 2016 and 2020, the Downsview Corridor will soon be a highly trafficked medical and professional hotbed. The contemporary and distinguished design of University Heights is playing into the revitalization of the Finch West neighborhood.

“We like to think that a big idea like University Heights is helping to lead regeneration in the Downsview Corridor,” said Paolo Abate of University Heights Professional and Medical Centre.“The value for tenants of University Heights is that it’s situated in close proximity to the Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Downsview Park, York University and four hospitals, including the new Humber River Regional Hospital. We selected the location because as a medical centre, we wanted our occupants to be as close as possible to the surrounding hospitals and mass transportation options available now and in the future.”

Upon completion, the new nearby Humber River Regional Hospital will be Canada’s first digital hospital and the largest hospital in Canada. With three Toronto courthouses also in close proximity, University Heights is centred in the middle of where medical and professional offices will want to be.

The eight storey, 165,000 sqft University Heights is currently in development with an expected opening in the summer of 2016. The new centre will contain retail space on its lower level with professional and medical offices on the upper levels.

The building will feature an open and sun-lit commercial concourse dedicated to restaurant and retail tenants with ample space for seating and strolling. Street-level entrances to all commercial units provide commercial frontage on the welltraveled Finch Ave. W. Built to Toronto Green Standard Tier 2 qualifications using high-reflecting materials, energy efficient controls, and low impact mechanical fixtures, it will also contain a 7,100 sqft professionally landscaped greenroof accessible by tenants and the public.

Everything that goes into the construction of University Heights is being done to help serve the long-term needs of its tenants, patrons and neighborhood.

“Part of what makes this location appealing to medical and professional organizations is the long–term plans for the neighborhood. With the new Finch West TTC subway and LRT station, each scheduled for completion in the next few years, the area is already beginning to experience a tremendous amount of growth and commuter traffic, which is ideal for our potential tenants,” said Abate.

University Heights will contain 89 customizable, divisible and expandable office units of 550 to more than 2,500 sqft. Units are now available for purchase.

Break free of investing costs here are many different investment options available to help you reach your financial goals. It is important to understand the

costs involved and how those costs affect your investments. Not all investments have the same fee structure and some may impact your return more than others.

“When it comes to your investments, it is important to be aware of the associated costs”, says Jason Round head of Financial Planning Support at RBC Financial Planning.“The less you pay for your investments, the more you keep, making the cost of investing something you should try to minimize.”

When thinking of mutual funds, Round highlights three costs to look for:

• Management Expense Ratio (MER) – is the total of the management fee, administration fee and GST/HST charged to a mutual fund each year. All mutual funds have an MER. • Sales commissions – some mutual funds charge a ‘load’, or one-time fee paid to an advisors’ firm for selling a mutual fund. The load might be charged when you buy the fund, or when you sell it. Most mutual funds offered by banks do not have load charges.

• Short-term trading fees – mutual funds intended for long-term investing typically charge fees if units are redeemed within a short time period. The proceeds go directly to the fund.

“We encourage clients to ask questions about exit fees, disclosure, total costs of ownership, fees for financial planning services and commissions – the more you know, the better informed you will be about your investments,” added Round.

Risk Reduction is key to small business success

T

hese are challenging times for small businesses: from unprecedented foul weather to cyber blackouts, small to mid-sized businesses are beginning to put much more emphasis on risk reduction and mitigation.

According to RSA Insurance’s national Risk Report Survey (conducted by MQO Research) approximately two-thirds of Canadian small-to-medium sized businesses are confident that they can mitigate these threats. The Risk Report Survey collates the opinions of 600 small business owners across the country on how specific challenges have impacted their bottom line and what measures they are taking to mitigate those risks.

“Canadian entrepreneurs have been resilient in the wake of significant global economic and climactic volatility,” says Julie Pingree, the vice president of commercial insurance at RSA.“By putting a greater emphasis on risk management, and indeed risk reduction, small businesses are helping secure jobs and drive economic sustainability.”

HeRe aRe a few moRe suRvey findings: talent and succession Planning Approximately four out of 10 small-tomedium sized businesses have been affected by at least one type of ‘talent management and succession planning’ challenge in the past year, and 42 per cent of those affected identified the inability to recruit skilled staff as the most serious challenge.

criminal activity Roughly one third of SMBs have been affected by some form of criminal activity during the same timeframe, with 18 per cent of those businesses identifying credit card or cheque fraud as the most serious. business interruptions Technological malfunctions are yet another major source of business interruptions that can result in costly productivity delays. For 23 per cent of those who have experienced significant business interruptions, network, broadband/computer issues or equipment failure were the most disruptive, while keeping up with new technology or managing problems with existing technology were central concerns for 19 per cent.

“We often expect the major events, like severe weather, to be what really tests our business, but oftentimes it’s the day-to-day occurrences associated with

Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

running a business that can present the most unforeseen challenges,” says Pingree.“Working with a knowledgeable insurance broker who can help you identify and navigate potential threats before they impact your business is a strategy that business owners cannot afford to overlook.”

Though a number of small-to-medium sized businesses have not lost their appetites for taking calculated risks, 58 per cent foresee no change in their willingness to do so over the next two years. Across the board, however, the negative impacts that are consistently top of mind for entrepreneurs are increased competition, reduced profit margins and constrained business growth.
